For You Chapter 12
Tris POV
Tobias. Tobias. That name sounds so familiar. I just can't put my finger on it. I slip out of Tobias' death grip, and go into my closet, pulling out a cardboard box from the top shelf. This box, Is from a happier time of my life. I pull out a small tan folder from the side of the box. Careful not to disturb the small unicorn statue, leaning against the folder. I slowly open the folder, pulling a wad of old photos.
The first, is a picture of me, mom, and Andrew. The next is of Percy as a new born, then a newborn Ana. Then a picture of my mom. She is smiling, holding a book in her hands, her reading glasses, on the tip of her nose. I feel a tear slip out of my eye. I lightly kiss the photo, and wipe away the tear.
The next photo is of me, playing with my childhood friend Toby. For some reason, we never told each other our real names, he was Toby, and I was Bea. We were best friends, but the year before Percy was born, he moved away. Away to Chicago. I look at the photo again, trying to see if I could see any features that could help me find him. I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist.
I look up, to see Tobias. He is smiling slightly, his eyes are bright, and alert. "What is that Tris?" he asks, nodding to the picture. I am tempted to hide the picture, but I realize that he has lived here for a long time, so maybe he could help me find Toby. I hand him the picture, "Do you know that kid, his name was Toby, and he lived in London, but moved here." I say, looking up, seeing his eyebrows are furrowed in confusion. He looks up at me, even more confusion is evident in his eyes.
"Of course I know him, that was me." He states, I feel my heart stop for second. He looks at me slowly, "Why, how do you know him." I smirk at him, "Does the name Bea ring a bell?" his eyes widen. "B-be-ea?" he stutters. "In the flesh." I say, smiling brightly. He smiles widely, and pulls me into a hug. "God Bea, I missed you so much!" he says, holding me tighter. He pulls away and looks me in the eyes, "I thought there was something familiar about you." He says with a knowing smirk. I laugh, and kiss his cheek.
He smiles, and is about to kiss me, when I hear Ana scream from behind us, I turn to see her crying, he body violently shaking, Percy trying to calm her down. I run to her, but Tobias gets there first. She sees us, and wraps her arms, or tries to, around both of us. She looks up at us, her grey eyes, clouded with tears. "I thought you two were dead, the men came, and shot you two, and you died in front of me. I don't want to lose my family." She whispers the last part.
We wrap our arms around her, as she cries into us. I smile, and lean into Toby. Percy has fallen asleep again, he always was a heavy sleeper. I feel Ana calm down, and send her into the shower. Tobias wakes Percy, and sends him to the guest room shower. "Go take a shower in the room next door, no one is there." He says. I shake my head, "You go first Toby." I say. "No Bea, or should I call you Tris?" he asks, "Tris, Bea makes me feel young again." I says. Tobias laughs, and heads to the room next door. Run to my house, and grab some clothes for me, Ana, and Percy. I grab out bags, shoes and accessories. When I get back, Percy and Ana, are standing in the room, towels around their bodies, shivering. I roll my eyes, and toss them their clothes. Our signature beanies, and combat boots. They slip on some black skinny jeans, and black sweaters.
I go to Tobias' drawer, and look around. It is obvious, he likes black, and only black. I walk past the room, and hear Tobias humming in the room, I guess it will take a while. I grab Percy and Ana, and pull them into our house. I take our extra combat boots, and our hot glue gun. I wait, for it to heat up, while Percy and Ana sit in the corner, playing chopsticks. When the gun is ready, I take the boots, and dig through our rhinestone drawer. I pull out about 20 black spikes. I put 10 on each shoe, in the same design that we have. I let those cool down, and run up stairs, and grab a black beanie. I grab the shoes and beanie, and pull Percy and Ana back to Tobias' room. I search through the drawers, find a black sweater and jeans. I set them aside, just as Tobias comes in, a towel around his waist.
I blush, and turn around, ushering Percy and Ana outside. We need to give him some privacy. "I left your clothes on the bed!" I shout, getting an okay back. I am glad I left my clothes outside. I take a quick shower, and change into the same outfit that they have.
I run out the door, and luckily Toby has a black bag, so we don't have to get him a new one, to match us. I reposition his beanie, and kiss his cheek. We knock on our friends doors, telling them to get up. I go down, and make eggs and bacon for everyone, putting out a plate for each, minus me, I don't eat much in the morning.
I pour myself a glass of milk, and watch as the rest of the gang trickle in, and start to scarf down the food. I chuckle slightly at the sight of Uri, basically inhaling the bacon. I toss the cup in the sink, grabbing all the gangs' plates, which are now empty. "Come on, we need to go to school." I say to Percy and Ana. But I guess that everyone else thought I was talking to them. "Why? We still have 20 minutes?" Christina says. I smile, "not you silly, Percy and Ana, I have to drop them off." I say. "I'll come too." Toby says, which earns me a smile. I guess that Chris didn't realize we are dressed similarly, because she starts gushing. "OMGYOUARELIKEAFAMILYTHATISSOCUTEOHMYGAWD!" she squeals. I roll my eyes and drag Toby and my kids out the door.
