Holding Back

Chapter 65

Tris POV

Move in day

"Mom, can you grab this bag?" I shout.

"I got it." Evelyn says.

"Thanks, Evelyn." I say, walking into my new room.

I never got a chance to visit Tobias during the past two weeks so hopefully I'll see him later.

I had told him countless times to clear some space for my stuff, but he didn't. I finished putting our clothes in separate areas and now I just have to do our bathroom. We are sharing our bathroom with Chris and Will.

I quickly place all my things in the right spot and then I head back downstairs where everyone is finishing up. Tobias has done a good job of keeping things pretty clean around here.

"I think we're about done here." Mom says.

Evelyn claps her hands together.

"When Tobias comes home, tell him I say hello." Evelyn says.

"I will. Bye Evelyn. Bye mom." I say.

Uriah and Zeke say bye to mom and then they leave.

"We need to really do some work on this house." Chris says. "For starters, a new couch."

We all sit down on the couch and Zeke turns the tv on.

"Now what?" Mar asks.

"Want to watch a movie?" Zeke asks.

We nod and he turns the tv to a random channel. As soon as the movie starts, the front door opens and multiple people walk inside. I stand up and see Tobias.

"What are you doing here?" He asks, hugging me.

"I told you we were moving in today." I say. "You're sweaty."

I pull away from him and take a look at the people he's with. I haven't met any of them before.

"We have to leave in an hour, do you mind making us a quick salad or something small while we go change?" He asks.

I nod. "I guess."

He kisses my cheek. "Thanks, baby. You're the best."

They go upstairs and I walk into the kitchen. I take out some ingredients he has in the fridge and start mixing things together. Five minutes later, Christina and Zeke walk into the kitchen looking pissed.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"That's not Tobias out there." Zeke says.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"He just made us get off the couch because him and his friends are tired and want to rest before they leave again." Chris says.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Zeke asks.

"Making them a salad." I say.

"They can do it themselves." Zeke says. "This is our house, we should be able to use our own couch. And what happened to the no sweaty people on the couch rule?"

"Zeke, they're tired. I'll talk to him later." I say.

I grab the bowl of salad and walk into the living room. I place it on the coffee table and the boys thank me.

"This is ridiculous." Uriah mumbles.

After they leave, Marlene, Shauna, Uriah and Zeke leave to go grocery shopping.

I clean up the living room and throw all the trash away.

"I'm telling you, that's not the Tobias we saw two weeks ago." Chris says.
