Dauntless High

Chapter 25: Family Drama

Tris POV
I wake up in a hospital bed... again. This time one person is in the room with me and it takes me a while to recognize him.
"Tobias." I whisper. He looks up with tears in his eyes and stands up.

"Beatrice." he whispers back. I get out of the hospital bed and walk over to him, still in a hospital gown.

At that moment I realized I wanted nothing more than him. Than the way he looks at me after saying goodbye after our first date. Or than the way he holds me or the way he kisses I just want him and nothing else, nobody else.

Then I do something I haven't done for two years. I kiss him. Not just a hello kiss or a goodbye kiss. I missed him and I poured two years of love and hope into that one kiss, and he did the same.

"I love you." he says once we break apart, "I love you too." I say back.

TIME LAPSE

I sit on Fours lap in my apartment with everyone else. Ever since we both woke up we haven't let go of each other. I look at him and he looks at me, we're watching the Lion King and it's late.

He leans closer and we kiss. We kiss for so long I lose track of time and I forget where we are. When we pull apart we realize everyone else is kissing to except for Al and Lynn who are on their phones annoyed.

I look back at Tobias and kiss him this time he leans into me and we both fall on the floor him on top of me. I start to laugh and so does he. We start to kiss again and I wrap my legs around his waist and he lifts me on top of him.

I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist.
"Ow ohhhhwwwww!" We hear Uriah howl, then we realize everyone is now starring at us.

That's when I realize I don't care who sees me, I start to kiss him again this time with so much more passion. That's when I hear the door open.
"Beatrice?" I hear a familiar voice say and I jump up and so does Four.

"Dad?" I say. I can see so much disappointment in his eyes. In my family touching someone meant a lot, the only thing I every saw my parents do was hold hands and now they see me making out with some guy.

"Dad I..." I start, all my friends are looking at me confused except for Four who I realize is starring or should I say glaring at someone. That's when I realize Marcus is here too.

"Marcus?" I say.
"You will address him as Mr. Eaton young lady now come with me!" My dad almost shouts. I squeeze Fours hand and follow my father.
"Dad, you don't understand Four saved my life, he protected me from..."
"Enough!" My dad shouts, "I don't appreciate walking into a room to see my daughter who I haven't seen in months kissing a boy who has tattoos all over him and..." that's when he sees the tattoos on my collarbone and he closes his eyes and takes a deep breathe.

"You can't see him anymore Beatrice, or his friends I forbid it." he says in a hushed tone.
"What? Dad no you can't do that!" I shout.
"I'm 18 those people have saved my life many times and have always been there for me you can't do that!"
"Yes I can, I do not approve of you and this boy dating and neither does Marcus." my dad says.

"What is Marcus even doing here!"
"Marcus was not apart of the plan he was just caught in the middle, Jeanine was the real master mind in this."
"Dad, do you here what you're saying? Marcus abused Tobias, he..."
"Enough young lady now go to your new room there will be guards to escort you there." he says then walks away.

Two guards come up to me one on each side.
"Let's go Ms Prior." one if them says. We walk passed my old apartment and Four and the others are in it. Marcus is standing behind Four as they watch me walk by and I can see how Marcus makes Four shrink in his presence. Marcus looks like a snake in Fours back always there and always haunting him.

When I get to my room the guards stop at the door and stay there. I open the door and see Caleb sitting on my bed.
"Caleb!" I say and run to him. He stands and hugs me.
"Beatrice I missed you so much!" He says.

"Caleb what's going on with dad." I say immediately wanting to know how to fix it. Caleb sighs and sits down on the bed and so do I.
"Dad heard about the accident and sort of freaked out." Caleb says. "He's just trying to protect the family and he thinks that you hanging around with those people will put you in danger."

"I'm sorry Beatrice, but this is just how things go."
