SO BLOODY SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG :/

Beatrice POV
I sit in front of the sliding mirror while my mother quickly cuts my hair.
"You know honey I never really guessed your father was perfect for me until we had Caleb and you" my mother's voice rings around my head but I don't really care about her pointless stories that she tells us every time she misses her brother.
She had a brother who stayed in her old faction and she doesn't talk of him well not to Caleb and I. Father told us that he was stubborn and believes in the saying Faction before blood more than anything in the world. Father would never tell us what faction he was in only that mother will tell you something that didn't quite make sense when she was thinking of her brother.
"Mother, what was your brother like?" I ask her she takes a sharp intake of air and I know that this is one of those times I should have kept my curiosity to myself. I sit there quietly while my mother continues to cut my hair ignoring my question.
After a while she finally cuts the last bit of my hair and starts to braid it.
"He had dark black hair like my father and light blue eyes, like my mother, that spoke hope and happiness if you looked at them long enough." She takes a deep breath and continues, "But he was all about rules and was very stubborn. When he found out I broke rules he would threaten to tell everyone and make shame of me, but he was also the best friend I ever had and I wish I could have him back because he was the best brother in the world and I miss him every day. When I see you Caleb playing and being happy I smile because it reminds me of me and him though we were the complete opposite we would fight and argue so much but he would also be there when boys broke my heart, he broke so many boys arms because they broke my heart and when I was scared he would hug me and tell me it was alright he would fight off the bad dreams and protect me." She finishes the story just as she finishes my braid.
"What faction is he in now, why did he move out Abnegation?" I ask and she slides the mirror away so now there in its place was framed picture of the school with a boy with dark hair with an eye patch over one eye and a girl on his back her eyes closed and she's laughing, they are both wearing Dauntless black clothes.
"Oh Bea, you ask too many questions and it's giving me a bit of a head ache" my mother kisses my cheek before I stand up.
"Sorry" I look at the ground and I hear her walking off. Its Sammy's birthday today and mine's in three days not that I get anything anyway but I'm taught not to mind which is alright with me.
"You know what I hate?" I hear Caleb say and I turn to see him standing near me.
"What?" I ask eying his new perfectly hair which Mother must have cut last night.
"You always look perfect" He smiles at him and comes up to me and places a strand of free hair back out of my face. I smile and he touches my cheek. "I wish you the best today with Sammy" he winks and walks off down the hall and I follow him down the stairs and into the dining room which Mother and Father are in already sitting down. Father reading the paper and Mother smiling at him with affection she always looks pretty when she smiles like that.
"Marcus's son, Tobias is coming over in three days and may have to stay for a day or two" my father says as Caleb and I sit down.
"But that's my birthday I don't want him to come" I say and before I can finish it I regret it.
"Beatrice, why would you say something like that" My father says and looks over his paper disappointment all over his face. Caleb looks like he's going to hit me. My mother is looking at her plate and I see that she is trying not to smile.
"It doesn't matter, now does it I said it and I didn't mean it" I say and look at my plate not feeling hungry anymore.
"Alright Beatrice no need to be rude if you continue to be rude at this table you may wait outside for Caleb to finish and then go to school" my mother's voice sounds tired. She shoots a look at my father and he smiles at her and Caleb shakes his head at me to tell me not to talk again. Heat rushes to my face and I close my eyes. The last thing I thought I would picture floats into my mind the boy, with the eye patch laughing the girl still on his back yelling at him to go faster but instead of the boy and girl in the picture it's me and Tobias. I open my eyes fast to see Caleb looking at me shaking his head again like he never stopped.
"I need air" I say quickly and stand up.
"Beatrice" My father says and everyone is staring at me.
"Beatrice dear sit yourself back down and eat" my mother says before my father can say anything else but I rush out before they can stop me. I rush out the front door and I fall onto the lawn in front of my house. The air feels good on my skin and I start giggling like a mad man.
"I wish I knew what to do with you" I hear my mother's voice before I see her. She sits down next to me.
"Do you wish ever to live in another faction and not stay in this faction your whole life I mean don't you ever feel bored about this faction?" I ask her and sit up to face her. She brushes the hair out of my face and smiles.
"Sometimes I imagine I'm in Dauntless I heard it has wonderful cake" she smiles and takes a deep breath. I stare at her she must be joking, right. Dauntless is so not my mother she is anything but dauntless.
"Really?" I ask and she nods and before one of us can say anymore Caleb is walking to us ready for school.
x-x-x
Once I'm off the bus I walk with Robert, Susan and Caleb into the school. Caleb and Susan walk off and Robert after hugging me, which I'm tense for the whole hug, he walks off to his room.
I walk over to the window and stare out it to see the Dauntless arriving.
"You know that if you become one of them you can't speak to your family again, right?" I hear someone say behind me. I turn to see Sammy standing there watching me.
"Happy birthday Sammy" I laugh and I run up to him and hug him. He doesn't tense just hugs me back which is normal for him.
"I got a dog for my birthday" he laughs into my neck and I shiver. He's the one who finally ends the hug and bows to me.
"I have to go receive presents" he says and is walking away waving to people he might know he says he can't remember who he knows and who he doesn't.
"Have fun" I yell after him and he turns for a moment and blows a kiss to me before turning a corner.
I'm about to walk to my room when someone grabs my arm and pulls me back.
"Hello, Bea um I'm Harry" and I turn around to see that it is Harry who is sweating in his plain sweater.
"Oh the letter you want the letter?" I gasp and he nods which makes sweat trickle down his cheek.
I stick my hand into my pants pocket and pull out the letter which on the front has, 'Dearest Tobias Eaton'. I push it into Harry's hand and he squeezes his fist around it.
"Thanks Bea" I think he blushes before he turns and walks away but maybe I imagined it.
I hope Harry gives it to Tobias so he can reply before my birthday.
