A/N Happy new year! Wow. I don't know if it's just me, but 2014 went by super duper fast. I'm so freaking tired because I was awake until 4:30 in the fucking morning doing a bunch of random crap. That's all for this first headnote of the year! Happy New Year! Enjoy!

Josh unlocks the door to his apartment and shoves me inside. Someway during the trip, Lillian woke up and seems to be on the verge of a tantrum. I really, really hope that doesn't happen.

"Put her on the couch," Josh commands to me, pointing to the couch.

"What?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Lillian. Put her on the couch so she doesn't get in my way." Josh stares at me with a hard expression.

"I'm not putting her on the couch," I say, straightening my back. "She could fall and hurt herself and I don't want that to happen." let Josh hurt me all he wants, but if he dare lay a finger on my daughter I will slit his throat.

"Fine, put her on the floor for all I care. I honestly don't give a single fuck about that kid." he sneers. Anger boils inside me and I march forward and hit his face as hard as I can. Fury ignites in his eyes and before I know it, I'm shoved to the ground. He rips Lillian from my arms and throws her onto the couch. An undeniable rage courses through me and I dart up from the ground.

"Don't you fucking touch her!" I shriek. He grabs my wrists and slams me into the nearby wall. Josh's face is inches from mine and grossly enough he tries to kiss me. I move my head from side to side, desperate to not have his atrocious lips on mine. Josh moves one hand from my wrist and uses it to hold my head in place. His horrid lips press to mine and I feel bile rise in my throat as he kisses me. His hands move down to my waist and squeeze all to tightly. What seems like hours later, his door swings open and when I see the man's face I want to sob in relief. Josh whirls around and I can see his muscles tense.

"What the hell are you doing to her?" Tobias growls. As soon as I'm out of Josh's grasp I run over to the couch to Lillian and hold her as tight as I can against me.

"I'm giving that slut the shit she deserves." at the word 'slut',Tobias tears forward and pins Josh against the wall by his throat. Josh looks fearful but tries to hide it.

"Don't you ever talk about her like that or I will kill you with no regret. You are the worst man I have ever met and you deserve nothing but to rot in hell." Tobias looks enraged and in fact ready to kill Josh.

"You wouldn't do it," Josh wheezes. "You wouldn't kill me." without warning, Tobias's fist launches forward and connects with Josh's nose. Blood immediately flows from Josh's face. Both of them now look furious and I honestly worry about what's coming. I don't really catch what happens because it moves so fast but within a few minutes Josh is stumbling out of the apartment, pressing a hand to his face. Tobias looks as if he wants to chase after him, but then remembers I'm here. He runs over to the couch where Lillian and I are sitting, still shaking.

"Tris, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Tobias looks al over my face for any injuries.

"No external injuries for me, but I think Lillian might be a little banged up." I look down to Lilian and grimace at the large, dark bruise Josh gave her.

"We need to get some ice on that," Tobias nods and helps me stand up. "Come on, let's get out of here." he wraps his arm around my waist gently and leads me to his car.

"Wait," I stop before getting into the car. Let me drive my car. It has Lillian's car seat in it." I say.

"Are you sure you want to?" Tobias asks, with a questioning glance.

"Yeah, yeah I can do it." I tell him turning around to get to my car.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Tobias inquires behind me. I stop for a moment the nod slowly.

"Yes," I say quietly. Tobias catches up to me, and follows me to my car. I strap Lillian into her carseat and get into the drivers side. The drive back to my apartment is silent. When we pull into the parking lot I look at my watch. 2:00. Perfect. I sigh and get out of the car and carefully pick a sleeping Lillian out of her seat. Tobias meets me at the door and together we walk up to my apartment. As soon as we're up in the room, I lay Lillian down in her crib and go back out to the living room with Tobias. I wordlessly sit down next to Tobias and lay my head on his shoulder. His arm goes around my waist. "Thanks for helping me," I say after a couple minutes.

"Of course," Tobias replies.

"Why were out so late, anyway?" I ask, suddenly extremely curious.

"I couldn't sleep, so I just decided to walk around a bit. And I heard you two arguing and I wanted to know what was happening then I saw you getting in the car and," Tobias stops talking and takes a couple of deep breaths. "I'm sorry, Tris."

"What?" I question, sitting up so I can look in his eyes. "What on earth are you sorry for?"

"About what I said a couple of days ago at work." he looks guilty. I can't help but laugh a little.

"That wasn't your fault, Tobias. That was me being a bitch." I barely crack a smile. "You really need to stop apologizing for me being an awful person."

"Well I know you won't apologize first so I figured I might as well get the ball rolling." he smirks. I slap his arm and smile a little wider. I'm extremely grateful for this change of atmosphere.

"You know, we really need to get our shit together." I say, resuming my place against his side. " I mean, for Lillian. When I got into the car after our- office debacle, I swear she heard me say the f-word at least twenty times." Tobias laughs.

"I'm not the one who curses a lot, that's all you." Tobias says with a grin. "Chances are, by the time she's ten she's going to be swearing like sailor because of you."

"I do no curse that much," I giggle. "Only when you piss me off, you fuckhead." Tobias rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"Whatever you say, Tris." he says. Tobias and I talk until nearly 4:00 in the morning and then I force him to stay with me. We're so incredibly lucky to not have work today, otherwise we would be absolute miserable. At around 4:30 I start yawning and so does Tobias. I bring him back to my room and I fall asleep as soon as my had hits the pillow.

A/N I know it's short but I'm tired. Anyway I've already had a super shitty year. First I get into a fight with one of my good friends, so I was crying and went to get a cupcake but dropped it. So to calm myself down, I went to practice some dance in my garage and I messed up a turn combo and got angry and kicked a piece of plywood and really hurt my toe because I was wearing jazz shoes. Is this a sign for the worst year in the world? Idk I guess I'll have to find out. NOW TIME FOR THE FIRST QOTC OF THE YEAR! What was your favorite thing that happened in 2014? For me it was either getting my first pair of Pointe shoes, or being a soloist in the Nutcracker. Wbu?

********DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW AND HAVE A SUPER GOOD NEW YEAR!********
