Divergent High

Chapter Tobias (4)

Tobias

I had to do it. I had been longing to do that since the moment she wrapped her arms around me. I pulled away for only breath; if I could, I would kiss her forever.
      She looked up at me and smiled, and I leaned in again and kissed her, grabbing her face between my hands. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and one of my hands moved down to her hip; all the while I was still kissing her. She pulled back again, and she smiled and started laughing.
     She looked at me with a loving look in her eyes, and I picked her up and put her up on my back.
     "Put me down, Four!" She yells at me while punching my back.
     "No, I wanna show you something." I reply, chuckling at her stubbornness.
      We made it to the hill, and she looked up and gasped. From here, you could see the whole city and all of the stars. She turned to me and smiled, running into my arms.
     "Thank you so much, Four." She says, and I mentally scowl. She needs to know the truth; she needs to know about my father, my past, my name.
     "You're the best. I've never been so happy in my life. Thank you. And I, ah, need to tell you something." She continues. I nod for her to continue.
      "I love you, Four Eaton. I loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you. You're so perfect, thats why I love you so much. I've never known love, I was never loved like a child. I've been abused for as long as I can remember, so thank you. For being here with me and for me. I love you." She says, her eyes getting teared up. But before those tears spill over, I have to tell her something too.
     "Tris Prior,  I love you too. And my name isn't Four, it's Tobias. Tobias Eaton. I didn't like my real name because it connected me to my father, and my past. My father has also abused me since I can remember, and my mother died when I was 2." I say, and she hugs me, as I feel silent tears running down my face. Thank god it's nighttime. Then, she turns and walks back to the tree, with my hand entwined in hers, and we climb to our original spot, where I lift her up and kiss her. She smiled into the kiss and we stayed like that for a few minutes, kissing.
A/N Ok ik in the book she dies when he's six but I wanted to switch it up a little bit. Ok ONWARD WITH THE STORY!!
"TRIIIIS!!" Yells a man who I take is Tris' dad. Oh frick.
     "Stay here. Go home. I can't have you getting hurt. Go home, Tobias." Says Tris, with a pained expression on her face.
     "No. I'm not leaving you alone with this monster." I say, shaking my head. I'd rather die than watch her hurt.
     Suddenly, Tris starts shaking violently, and then she sobs, "Oh my God, Tobias, it hurts! When he hits me, it hurts like crap! When it's over I wish I could die. I hate my life! Just kill me now, I'm not worth it to anyone. Please."
     I start crying too and I embrace her into a hug as she shakes and cries into my chest. "You're worth it to me, Tris. I love you. I won't let that monster anywhere near you. I would rather die than watch you get hurt." I say to her, stroking her cheek, and crying a little in her hair.
     "We're gonna go into my room, and you're gonna hide in my closet until Andrew's gone. Ok?" She asks, pulling away from my chest and wiping the few tears on my face off.
     "Ok."
     "BEATRICE GRACE PRIOR IF YOU DON'T GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR FILTHY, STUPID, ARROGANT, ANNOYING BOYFRIEND! YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO BE IN YOUR ROOM!!" Booms Andrew, and Tris jumps.
     "Let's go," she says, racing down the branches until she gets to her bedroom window. I lift her in swiftly and pull myself in, silently as I can, and make a mad dash for the closet. Just as I opened the door a crack to watch what happened, Andrew walked in, his face full of rage, and I had to resist the urge to scream at the top of my lungs at the sight of what he had in his hand:
     A belt.

Ok that's your chapter for today, sorry it's all in Tobias' POV, but I guess that's cool, right? I hated writing the part where he cries, but I wanted it in there to show that even he has a soft and vulnerable side. It just makes it more romantic in my opinion 😍😍😍
Luv you all!! ❤️❤️
