Abusive Four

Chap 29

I glance over at Four.

His face drains out of blood, and I could see him tightly clutching the blanket.

I could see why he is nervous though. His mother, Evelyn, wanted Four to live with her and to finally experience being a parent, well, being a good parent.

Anyways despite how he was relieved to have a mother, Four refused. He chose me (after he became possessed)
and Evelyn stopped and disappeared.

It's still quite, and Four is still looking at his fingers with tight features.
The nurse gives me a restless look.
"Well I'll just leave and tell me when your ready" She says "she will be waiting"

I bite my lip nervously, I feel like I should say something.
"Uh-how are you feeling?"

"Why would she come back? Do you think it has something to do with Marcus's death? Does she need money? Revenge?" He sigh in frustration

"Maybe she just wanted to see her son" I say.

Four gives a sharp laugh that made me visibly wince.
"She walked out on me ..twice"

"Well..." I say avoiding his eyes "you did kinda tell her to piss off"

I could hear him groan
"We talked about this, she was being clingy"

"You should feel happy at least
you have a mother!" I snap sharply

"Oh of course" he rolls his eyes "and a loving father"

"How could you say that? After all she chose you isn't that what you wanted"

"Tris" he props his elbow and turns toward me "I didn't want anything, she chose me. And mind I say, why are you defending her after what she did?"
I shift uncomfortably.

You see, after Four refused to live with his mother, Evelyn was depressed and decided to take out her anger on me. One day I just opened the door and found her standing there with mascara running all the way done her face, blaming me about misusing her son.

The bonus was that the window was opened, and four happened to be standing there. He told her to piss off and big dramatic gestures were made before she finally went out the door.

Remembering this memory I look at Four whose looking smug after I didn't reply to his pervious statement.
"Well it isn't the first time I was threatened by an Eaton and certainly not the last"

Four's face drops and he gets up. Wearing his jacket and slippers he goes toward the door. Once he finally has a hold on the knob, he turns it halfway before looking back at me.

"Tris, that was the worst pep talk ever"

_____TOBIAS P.O.V_________

I open the door and look at the hallway.
It was clean and it made me sick to my stomach. It reminded me of Marcus's death place.

The nurse who opened the door earlier was slumped on the chair, a few feet away from our hospital room.

Once she sees me, she perks up and a look of relief covers her.
"Finally I thought you would never come out"

I nod.
I'm not excited to meet Evelyn at all.
Her big blow out 2 years ago was enough to keep me awake for months.
I should feel guilty, but I don't.

I follow the nurse Until we reach the front desk. She talks with the doctors there before leading me by my elbow to what seems like a waiting room.

It had a glass door, and rows of blue chairs. It reminded me of Erudite.
Behind the few rows, I see a woman with dark hair looking at her fingers.
