I'm stupid.
Not in a I-failed-a-test stupid. But like a I'm-getting-myself -killed kind of stupid.

I didn't even think it through. One second my feet were planted on the floor away from Peter, the next I find myself pushing him into the lockers.

"Let go bitch!" Peter grits out. I push my elbows on his chest and squeeze. My legs were steadied with force and I tried not to let go. Peter's legs were stuck against the locker and his arms are struggling to push me off. Behind me Eric and Drew both had an amused smirk on their face as they watched as they watched as struggle.

Eric winks at me and I shoot him an icy look. So focused on his eye contact, I didn't notice Peter escaping. Eric howls with laughter and I whip my head toward Peter. I instantly wanted to shrink into the dirty hallway.
He didn't look angry, he looked furious.

He hand brush away the invisible dust on his shirt. He shoots me a glare and I held my breath. He wouldn't hit a girl. But then again, he's Peter.

"O-okay fine. We're done now, right?" I bite my lip nervously. Eric and Drew were leaning carelessly on the lockers but Peter was standing upright.
There was a silence and I tried taking slow steps backward.
"I'm going to go now" I say.

I knew I was in trouble the minute Peter gives me a sneer. My eyes move toward Eric and Drew. They crossed their hands over their chest and had a smug look on their faces.

"Peter don't." I find my voice.

"Look Prior, I've dealt with your shit. We all know who you really are" he says. He move closer and shows off his teeth. "Your a whore, a slut. Yet you won't admit it. Come on Tris, you've already screwed Eric, why stop now?"

An image of Eric pushing me onto the bed flashes in my mind.
"I didn't want to! You told me it was a party I would have never even come if I knew that would happen"

Eric shakes his head. Dick.
"Come on tris really? Do you honestly think that we might want you to come to one of our parties without some benefits for us? You must be really stupid" Peter says.

The burning feeling that was in my stomach grew in my arms and I stepped in. Before Peter can speak I get my fist and collide it with his face. He stumbles back and hold it.

I stepped back and took a deep breath. Peter was crouching down and it was silence. Then a second later Peter acts. He runs toward me and smashes his body with mine. I gasp in pain and held my stomach while rolling on the floor.

Peter was lying next to my and I got up quickly. Getting my foot I kick him right on the side of his leg. He groans and gets up. I hold my hands ready and so does he. I push my hand toward his face but he's too quick, and I miss. His hands find there way to my hair and he pulls on it. I cry out and tug my hair away from his grasp.
So much for not hitting a girl.

When his foot pressed into my ankle I quickly winced. Finally the pain reached its limit and a sob escapes me.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry. Let go please" my voice comes out raspy but Peter lets go.

"Don't forget where you belong Prior." He spits out. I just nod to avoid further pain. Eric runs up to Peter.
"Bro we need to go to class now"

Peter nods and leaves. After all three of them disappear I let my hair tie fall. My ponytail falls out into a wave of blond hair and I rub my scalp from Peter's grip.

The bell rang after a while and I decided I can't face Christina and the others looking like this. I go to the office and call my mom. When she finally arrives to school I sling my backpack over my shoulder and follow her out the door.

"Okay honey your dad and I are going to Grandma's we will come back in the evening." My mom says. My dad gestures for her to come to the car and I nod.

"Don't worry about me. I'll fix some lunch when Caleb comes back from school and I'll stay here"
Except when I meet the blue eyed boy again.

Mom gives me a quick kiss and closes the door. I peek through the window until their car finally disappears further into the road. I get my jacket and walk outside. I face the same door I had in the morning. I ring the door bell and Tobias opens it. He looked better than he did in the morning. He was wearing the shirt Marcus gave him and he looked like he just got out of the shower.

"Hey Tris" he says. He flashes me a smile and steps closer. "Don't worry about Marcus he's gone for some work"

He smelled really good. Like chocolate and mint together. His presence seems to make the air around me a little warmer. I glance up at him and see a little smirk tugging on his lips, like he already knows what I'm thinking.

"Shut up" Resisting the urge to step closer I cross my arms. "How's your back?"

His smirk faded and he turned back to the same Tobias I knew.
"I took a shower so the pain kind off subsided"

"Why did he do it?" I ask.

"He's been grilling me about the fact that I was using drugs again. I knew at some point he was going to beat me up so I just waited" he shrugs and steps back. "Come in"

I stepped into his house. It was completely different from the last time I saw it. No burning furniture or the smell of smoke.
"Let's cancel the park since I'm already here. I just wanted to talk" I say.

It was almost true. Also the fact that the park required a long walk and my just still ached because of Peter. I sit on the couch and Tobias sits next to me.
"What do you want to do?" He asks.

I shake my head.
"I don't know. Make wedding invitations?" I joke.

Tobias laughs and playfully hits my leg. I groaned and turned around. The pain spiked in my leg and I close my eyes before glaring at Tobias.
"Thanks" I say.

"Sorry I didn't realize" he says "what happened?"

I shake my head.
"It's nothing important"

Tobias looked at me with some intensity in his eyes. I squirmed in my seat uncomfortably. He takes my wrist and squeezes it.
"It's Okay tris. I've dealt with worst"

"I don't have an abusive parent Tobias. You know what, just forget it" I groaned.

His hand goes from my wrist to my leggings.
"Go take them off" he finally Says.

I tried to make sure I heard him correctly.
"Yea how about no?" I respond.

"Tris your obviously in pain. I'm trying to make you feel better stop being difficult. Either tell your husband or your parents, choose."

"First off, your not my husband yet." I say. "And I will, if I get to change somewhere away from you and I get a pair of shorts"

"Of course what did you expect?" He bluntly says.

My cheeks warm up and I shake my head. Stupid.
Tobias hands me shorts and I head toward the washroom.

My ankle were swollen where Peter's heel dug in and I had several bruises going up my legs. I wear the shorts and go out. When Tobias noticed my injury his eyes quickly blazed with anger.

"Who the fuck did this?" He says.

"Why would you care?"

He gets up and take my chin in his hand. His hand send a warm feeling though my skin but I remains calm.
"Because Tris when I found out who did this I'll fucking kill them"

His eyes stay on my and I feel his head tipping forward. His hands move from my chin and he hold my cheeks. I panic once I notice how close he is I kissing me, and pull back. I regretted it the moment he let go.

I fucked up big time.
Again.
