Chapter 12: More Beatings
Four's POV
The three of us walked together to the cafeteria. When we got in and took a seat, Marlene and Uriah were talking like they hadn't seen each other in like ten years, Lauren and Alice were again talking about boys again, Lynn was scowling at Marlene, and Will and Christina were making out. When Tris sat down next to me, Uriah looked over to us and shouted.
"Four, Trissy!" He shouted.
"Never. Call. Me. That. Again." Tris said slowly.
"Why not Trissy? Anyway. Mar and Alice and Lynn and well everyone here had been telling me all about you two." Uriah said.
"So, it's not like its a big secret or anything." Tris said.
This left Uriah stumped for something else to say. Tris smiled in victory.
"Shut up." Uriah muttered.
The rest of dinner was fun. It consisted mostly of Uriah and Zeke telling us about the numerous pranks (which mostly failed). Then by seven o clock we all finally had enough if they're story's and we all went our own way.
ONE WEEK LATER:
I was outside I needed some air. It was nine in the evening so everyone was inside, either studying for upcoming tests or goofing around with their friends. But outside was empty. I was walking for about thirty minutes before I bumped into a person I was hoping to avoid.
"Hello Tobias." Marcus said.
"Leave me alone." I said, pushing past him.
"That's no way to talk to your father." Marcus said
"You are not my father." I growled.
He reached slowly to his belt, but I did something I never thought I would do. I punched him in the jaw. He stepped backwards, looking shocked. I moved in and punched him again this time the punch connected with his left eye. Again he stepped back and again I stepped in. I grabbed his shoulder and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over in pain and I kneed him the face. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
I then left him there and went back to my room.
THE NEXT DAY
I was woken up by a bang on the door. Groggily I woke up and answered it. Outside stood a police officer with a pair of handcuffs in his hand.
"Four Eaton?" He asked. I nodded.
"You're under arrest for the continued assault of Marcus Eaton. You have a right to speak but anything you say can be used against you. You also have a right to a lawyer if you don't have enough money for one, too bad." The officer said as he out the handcuffs on me.
"What going on, Four?" Will asked from behind me.
"I don't have a clue." I said as the officer lead me out if the room.
It was only half seven so the front hall was empty. Outside I saw Marcus standing by the police car, smiling evilly. He had a bandage over his nose a bruise on the side of face and a black, swollen eye. It was an improvement from his usual look.
I was put into the car and taken away.
Not much to say in this chapter. So I'll just say, if you've read this far thank you. And in your review tell me what you think is going to happen now that Four's in jail.
