Plates and Interrogations

Tobias's POV:

Tris, Marlene, and Shauna were helping Mrs. Prior set up the table for dinner while everyone else talked by the pool.

"Your name is Four, correct?" asks Tris's older brother James.

"Yeah," I reply. This must be the beginning of the interrogation I was warned about.

"You are dating my sister?"

I nod.

"Tris is the most important thing in the world to us. You had better not even think about hurting Tris or there will be consequences," says Nick.

"You do not want to have to deal with the three of us," James says gesturing to Nick, Caleb and himself.

"I would never intentionally hurt Tris," I say. "I would have to be the biggest idiot in the world to want to hurt her. I love her and no matter how hard you try you will not be able to make me break up with her."

"We never said we would try to make you break up with her," replies Nick. "We just want to make sure you understand who you are dealing with if you do."

I am about to respond when I hear a crash and a thud behind me.

I whip around to see Tris sprawled on the ground with shards of a broken plate surrounding her. She must have tripped and dripped the plate she was carrying. I run over to her and kneel by her side.

"Oh my god Tris are you OK? I ask frantically helping her sit up.

"Yeah I think I'm fine," she responds. "I may have a piece of the plate in my palm though."

I look down at her hands and gingerly take them in mine. They are scraped up and a little bloody. There is a small shard of the plate imbedded in her left hand.

"Come inside. I can get the plate shard out and clean your hands," I say pulling Tris to her feet.

I lead her inside and bring her to the couch not letting go of her hands. Then she tells me where to get bandades, tweezers and a cloth.

When I come back I sit next to Tris and face her with the wet wash cloth. Gently dabbing at the cuts I wipe away all the remaining blood and take out the plate piece with the tweezers. She flinches a little but does not make a sound. Then I bandage it up and go to her scraped up knees where I repeat the same process without the tweezers. When I am done I put the things where I found them and wash the cloth before returning to Tris's side.

"Thanks," she says.

"Anytime Tris. You can always ask me for anything," I respond.

Then I lean over and kiss her slowly. We break apart after a few seconds and holding hands we stand up to walk outside and join the others. Caleb, Nick and James are all standing at the door and I just now realized they watched that whole thing. Probably to see how I acted when it was just Tris and I.

"You are good to Tris," says James when Tris walks over to chat with Christina. "The way you rushed to her side when she got hurt and didn't leave her until you knew she was alright proves you weren't lying about being in love with her."

"I like you dude," says Nick. "Don't mess this up."

"You'd better watch it. If you hurt Tris in the slightest way possible I will hunt you down," says Caleb glaring at me. If looks could kill I would definitely be dead. Well, at least I know I have the support of two brothers.

"Dinner is ready!" yells Tris's mother.

Then I go sit next to my beautiful girlfriend and enjoy a tasty barbeque with my friends. For once I feel like I belong and have a real family.
