Tobias and Tris POV. (hope this doesn't get confusing.)
I'm sitting in my car, I saw Tris's car when I pulled into the school car park so I already know she's here and I have to see her. I breathe in and then out, and get out of my car. As I'm walking through the hallway I already start to regret my decision of coming to school. But then I know that there was no way I'll stay home with Marcus.
I'm about to reach my locker when I see her there, waiting. She hasn't seen me yet. She's looking down at her feet. I reach my locker and open it.
"Tobias, please we need to talk." She says.
"I need to explain things." I just continue taking my things out.
"TOBIAS…..look at me." She reaches and grabs my arm. I stop and look down at her hands. Then look at her. I see tears building up in her eyes. I fling my arms out of hers, slam me door and walk off.
I see Nita coming down the hallway and throw my arm around her shoulder. And give her a kiss on the check. I know she isn't the girl of my dream but she has never lied to me. From now one I'm going to try harder with her and forget about Tris.
I see Tobias walk away and then throw his arm around Nita. I lean my head on my locker and close my eyes.
"What's going on there?" I open my eyes and see Christina. She see I'm about to break down crying and pulls me off to a quiet place, the girls toilets.
"Did you tell him." She asks and I nod and start to cry.
"Oh Tris. This is a good thing. He needed to know." I nod again.
"I know but I just wish he'll talk to me. Or just tell me what he wants."
"He will, I'll make sure he does." She gives me a hug and I cry into her chest. The bell rings and we heard of to English.

I'm sitting down in English with Nita on my lap, I'm slowly kissing her neck when Christina walking over to me.
"Are you kidding me?" she says with her arms crossed and tapping her feet.
"What?" I ask and lift Nita off me and she sits on her own chair.
"You're a real piece of work, you know that. Grow up and work out what you want and tell her."
It crosses my mind then that Christina has known about this. Of course Tris had told her I think to myself.
"Piss off…" I'm about to continue when she slaps me, hard across the face. I'm shocked. She walks off and sits next to Will. I can hear Eric laughing somewhere. I search the room, mostly everyone is expecting something else to happen and then I see Tris standing by her desk. She is shocked as well. Right then Mr Lewtous walks in class and asks everyone to set down.
I too shocked to do anything and just stare at Tris who is staring back at me. I get my things and walk out of class and slam the door.
I can hear Mr Lewtous call after me. But when I am half way down the hallway I hear my name again.
"Tobias, wait….Four Stop!" Tris says running after me. "Are you alright?" She asks when she reaches me.
"You told Christina but it never crossed your mind to tell me?"
She stops walking and looks at her feet. "Christina is my best friend, I knew she wouldn't hate me." I look at her.
"Is that why you never told me, you thought I'll hate you or scream at you, poor little Tris, how could someone hate her." I tease.
"I didn't tell you cause I didn't know how to?"
I scowl. "It's pretty easy, Tris."
"Oh yeah." She says nodding. "It's so easy. All I have to do is go up to you and say, 'by the way, I've had a baby, and you're the father, but hey, what's for breakfast?' Right?...Right?" Suddenly it is too much for her to control and tears start coming out from her eyes. I sigh and she wipes them away and tries to control herself.
"You have no idea what it's been like for me, dealing with all this on my own."
I cut her off before she can continue. "You choose to deal with it on your own, I won't allow you to make me feel guilty for something you decided to do on your own." God she can really piss me off.
"I'm not trying to make you feel guilty and I'm not blaming any of it on you. I just want you to understand how hard it was for me to tell you." She says and walks away.
I turn and kick one of the lockers in front of me.

I'm sitting outside on top of one of the picnic table.
"Tris." Uriah says as he and Marlene walk up to me.
"Hey guys." I say as the sit next to me.
"So should I give my congratulations or be mad at you too? It's so hard for me to decided and it's confusing me, maybe Christina should slap me so I can make up my mind." Marlene then slaps him and I just laugh.
"Really Uri. You gonna makes jokes."
"Hey it's my specialty." He jokes back.
"Sorry Tris, don't listen to him." Marlene says.
"It's alright, I actually missed Uriah's specialties…So I guess Four told you."
"Yes, and I'm quite wounded you didn't tell me, I thought I meant more to you." He places his hands on his heart and pretends to faint. Marlene just slaps his shoulder. Again I start giggling.
"Honestly, I really wanted to tell you, all of you but Four had to know first." I say.
"Nah, don't sweat, we're just messing with you." He gets up and hugs me.
"He'll come round…...hopefully….soon, I hope…Four mopping isn't a fun Four." He says.
"See what I deal with." Marlene says as she slaps his shoulder again. "So, tell me what's motherhood like?" she asks and we get into a lengthy conversation about the twins.

I'm having lunch inside sitting on the table, waiting for Nita to finish ordering when Eric sit across from me.
"You have a bit of pink on your face there." He reaches over to point to where Chris slapped me earlier. I reach out and grab his wriest before he touches me. I throw his arm back.
"Who would of thought that girls were your weakness, all these years I've wasted when I could of just paid some random girls to beat you up." He says smirking.
"What do you want Eric?" I know his not hear to just tease, he would of done that earlier.
"I'm just curious why Christina slapped you? At first I thought maybe you screwed her and then ditched her, but nah that's not your style, or is it?"
"What are you taking about?" Now I'm getting mad.
"Just something I've heard from a little bird!" he smirks.
"Yeah and what's that?"
"That you're not the innocent Four everyone likes to think you are. I've been told you like to be with more then one woman on one occasion, I like to know if Nita knows about this side of you?" he smirks up at me. Once it hit me that I know what his talking about it takes less then a second for me to lose all composure. I grab the collar of his shirt and hiss at him "You stay away from her, you hear me. You've had your little fun, she'll never be yours, got it."
"Why the hell do you care Four? Your done with her anyway. She is just your leftover." He looks at me with a smug face. I seriously can believe that she can't see this side of him and see his using her. I punch him hard in the face, over and over again. Something inside me just snaps, I knock the breath out of him. I don't care what I'm doing. I fell a crack but he won't go down. He just laughs hysterically and wraps his hands around my wrist and head butts me, but I barely fell it. There is too my adrenaline in me and I press my body weight forward. And I see blood running down his face as my fist is about to connect with his face again. But I fill someone grab my arm before it reaches Eric's face. Then another arm grabs my other hand and hold me back. I turn to see Will holding me back and Zeke getting in between us.
"Cool it. Mrs. Matthew is walking over." Zeke says.
"Gentleman. I trust you can follow me to my office." She says and begins walking off again.

"Mr. Eaton, Mr. Courtney, this school doesn't value violence as I'm sure your are aware." She says as Eric and I are sitting in her office.
"Yes Ma'am." We say in unison. "It won't happen again." I say to calm this situation. I see throught the corner of my eye that Eric can't control his bleeding any longer.
"Just go to the first aid, I'll deal with you later." She sigh at Eric who stands up and leaves. She then turns to me.
"Mr. Eaton, your father will be notified. You have the rest of week suspension. I hope you use that time to consider how to calm that rage of yours." She says.
Great now I'll have to deal with Marcus, he took off on a business trip this morning but I'm sure he won't be pleased when he gets back, as if this day couldn't get any worse.
"Your free to go." She says and I just nod at her and leave her office.
Once I'm out of the office and walk through the hallway I see Tris waiting and leaning against a locker. She stand up straight when she see me.
"Your boyfriend isn't here, try the sick bay." I say as I walk pass her. She grabs my arm to stop me and I look down at her hands. I instantly feel the spark running up and down my arm and the warmth in her touch, she lets go and I suddenly feel the cold again.
"Stop, his's not my boyfriend." She says. "What has gotten into you?"
"What has gotten into me?" I ask dumbfound. "What has gotten into you? What are you doing hanging around Eric, you know his using you to get back at me."
"Right, because this is all about you! God, get over it, his not as ruthless as before. I think it's just you who still living in the pass."
"Looks can be deceiving Tris, take Marcus for example."
I stare down at my feet unsure what to say to him. I know his got a valid point about Marcus being deceiving, but Eric isn't like this. I look up at him about to say something to defend Eric but he cuts me off.
"I'm not kidding Tris, I don't care what you decide to do in your free time but I don't want that ass anywhere near…" He stops and closes his eyes for a second as if he just realized what he was about to say.
"You can't even say it can you? Their kids, mine, yours, children, babies." I stop and sigh. "I can't fight with you anymore." and I honestly can, it's starting to become too draining. "I get it, you need time to progress all this, just know that you can find us whenever you decided what you want. That all I came here for." I say to him and leave.
I watch her leave to her next class and I turn down the other way of the hallway and out of school. She's right, I couldn't even say kids out loud. How can I be a father to them if I can get over the fact they even exist.
