"Tris you can't just escape me"The minute I enter the house I take a deep breath. Sometime I wish I've never met Tobias. I wouldn't have to deal with all these emotions bottled up.
I close the door and enter the kitchen to hear the loud voices.
"You can't make me do this!" Caleb shouts at my parents.To say I was surprised was an understatement. Caleb was the last person I would expect to argue with my parents. They didn't seem to notice me standing by the doorway until I approach my dad.
"What's going on?" I ask.
Before anyone can answer Caleb huffs in anger and walks past me, making sure he pushes my shoulder on the way.
Sometimes I forget that Caleb isn't as innocent as he seems, drugs and all.
"What happened?" I ask cautiously.
"Tris" my dad stares at me dead in the eye making me silently uncomfortable. "Did you know about Caleb and his drugs? Don't lie to me"
I try to look at anything but his harsh glare.
"Uh-no, what are you even talking about"He sighs,almost in disappointment, making me want to shrink.
"Fine go" my mother speaks this time. I give them a half nod and go upstairs. When I pass Caleb's room I hear a few sobs but I knew better than to go inside. Instead, I walked into my room and onto my phone.

When I went downstairs to eat dinner Caleb wasn't at the table. Instead he came slouched back with a scowl on his face to take his food. He didn't bother acknowledging us and left without a word back to his room.
My mother sighs.
"I can't believe he would do this. After everything"I just nodded along to my parent conversation. After I finished I was quick to leave them alone and go upstairs.
"Tris?"
I turn around to see Caleb, red noses and puffy eyes."Yea?" I Try to sound as gentle as I can.
"What I did was wrong. Really wrong"
"I know. And why would you even do this Caleb" I sigh.
"I don't know. Everything was fine and Tobias was my best customer and ,I just though the money could help me find a good university. That's all" he mutters.
"Well selling Tobias drugs is a bad idea" I snap. "He's already bad enough without them. And what will you do now? What would happen if a university found out about your drugs"
Caleb slumps in defeat.
"I-I don't know" he whimpers.I sigh and hug him. He hugs back tightly. I know he did a stupid thing, but sometimes you have to look past that In order to provide comfort.
"C-can I tell you something tris?" Caleb says.
"Sure, go for it"
He looks me dead in the eye before bringing up the person I dreaded the most.
"Tobias threatened to kill me if I stopped selling him my drug supply"
Caleb's soft voice was moving in murmurs.Yet I don't think he knows how hard my stomach dropped.
"What do you mean?" (A/N no JB reference plz lol)
"I mean like he came up to me earlier today after I told him their might be a chance that I would be forced to quite the drug dealing and all. He was mad Tris. I mean I don't blame him I've been selling him drugs at the best price and I also seem to provide him. He's one of my most consistent customers"
There was suddenly so much questions I had. Like why is Tobias such a drug addict? How long has Caleb sold drugs?
"Y-you don't hate me right?" Caleb's voice breaks my thought process.
"What you did was wrong. Very wrong. But- I can't hate you. You're my brother" I reply back, knowing these words would hug him like a blanket of comfort.
"Thanks tris. I mean it" he give me a tiny smile which I return.
We sat down there together for quite sometime. It was when Caleb finally Started sleeping that I decided to go back to my room.

Tobias was a dick.
I knew that. When I first met him, he seemed nice. As a friend of course, but now I can't even see myself being in the same room as him. He threatened to kill my brother, my own blood.
If I tell my parents about Tobias and his ties with Caleb would the break up the marriage issue?
Yet, at the same time, wouldn't it bring more trouble toward Caleb?I sigh in frustration. Just last month I was sitting having a great time with Christina. I don't know what happened. My first choice is to just ignore Tobias, but I've been pushing my problems behind. I need to tell him to stop threatening Caleb and that there wont be any relationship between us.
Fuck it, I text him knowing he will respond in a matter of seconds.
Tris: Meet me near the park @1 am
Tobias: On it.
I waited until I was sure the entire house was filled with my family's steady breaths. I take the house keys and every so silently close the door behind me. I was taking in the fresh air until I was startled by a voice, an all too familiar voice.
"I'm here "
I turn around and breath out. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to meet him late at night.
"I thought we were meeting at the park" I breath out.
'Couldn't keep myself away from you I guess" he gave an obnoxious smirk.
I roll my eyes and continue walking.
"Let's go before my parents wake up"
Once we reached our destination I instantly go in front of Tobias. My index finger lures him to sit down on the bench behind me. I stand in between his legs and stare at him intently.
His eyes shine and he quickly licks his lips.
"W-wha?"
My hand slapping his cheek interrupts him."
"The fuck" He screams and his hand instantly goes up to his throbbing face.
"Don't pretend like I don't know about your drugs Tobias! You put my brother's entire future in danger. You're Pathetic" I seethe.
His eyes blaze in anger and he gets up.
"Look . Your brother has been selling drugs for awhile now." He steps closer and holds me chin in place. I try my hardest not to flinch. "In fact I'm surprised you didn't know by now. I thought you were a bit smarter" he shrugs and lets go of my chin. "Guess not"
"Instead of blaming me, blame your sorry brother" He leans down on the bench and looks at me lazily. "Let me guess, he gave you an awful sob story. Oh I just wanted to support you guys please don't be angry oh dear me" He mimics Caleb at the end.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me this when you found out he was a dealer?"
"Tris" he looks up and sighs. "Your brother doesn't have great morals but at the same time,
neither do I"
Before I can even respond he grabs my wrists and yanks me down. I was partially straddling him in this position. I couldn't help but blush.
His plump lips suck slowly on my ears before going just close enough so I can hear him whisper.
"Who really does have modest morals. Am I right Sweetheart?"
