Chapter 14

" Beatrice." He said my name as if it tased like poison coming out of his mouth.

"Hi." I said meekly

"That is not how you address me. You respect me."

"I'm sorry. Hello. Can I help you with anything?" I said stiffly.

"Where the hell have you been?"

" I was out with friends."

" Until 2:30 in the morning?"

" Yes. we were just out celebrating the game. If you would please excuse me, I would like to get some sleep." I said quietly, afraid. I tried to slip past him but he grabbed my arm.

"Ah yes the football game. We were there you know. Your mother, Caleb and I. We saw you."

"Oh? I uh- I H-Hope you had a good time." Great, now im stuttering.

"You're mother had a wonderful time. kept going on and about how darling and grown up you looked. In reality however, I saw that you just looked like a slut."

There it is. his words stinging as if he had slapped me.

"I also saw you making out with that boy. You were practically screwing him right in the middle of the field."

"all we were doing was kissing." My voice was barely a whisper now.

"Maybe then. But you obviously have before. Probably every guy in that highschool of yours."

"You're wrong." I said forcefully this time. But he wouldnt stop

" I bet that boy dosent even like you. He's using you for your body."

His grip on my wirst was getting tighter with every word. I twisted my arm to escape his grasp, and ran to my room, hiding my tears from him. He was wrong about Tobias. He had to be. Right?

Okay, Its all set up. finally. I pick up my phone to text Tris.

Me: Everyone in your house asleep?

T: I think, Why? Whats up?

Me: come outside.

I waited out front, leaning against my truck for a few minutes. Until i saw her poke her head out the front door.

"Tobias?" She questioned in a whisper. I dont know how she dosent see me, but I walk slowly over to her, so she dosent see me coming.

"Toby?" She is starting to sound worried. I Come into veiw and quickly peck her lips before she reacts.

" What are you doing here? Its 3:30 in the morning?' she looked worried

" I just wanted to see you." I lied. Of course i did want to see her, buts its not the only reason im here. a huge grin spread across her face.

" You are such a goof. Come on, we'll go up to my room. Just stay quiet, if my dad hears he'll ki..." Her voice trails off annd we sneak up to her room. Tris has a huge house, and hers is the only room on the top level. top level of 4 plus a basement. Once we make it to her level, no one could hear anything, so we wont have to sneak anymore. we get to her room and sit down on her bed.

"Tris, Are you alright?" I asked her. I could tell something was off about her.

" Yeah, Its just.."

"what is it?"

"my dad."

I went rigid, I was afraid er dad would cause trouble now that he was back For a week. "What did he do?"

" Well, he came to the game tonight. and he saw the outift i was wearing and saw us kissing and he...he started calling me a slut and a whore, saying you were using me, and.. and accusing us of sleeping together." She looked guilty as if you had done something wrong.

"Tris you know thats not true right?"
she didnt answer

"Tris. he dosent know anything. I love you ,for you, not your body. You are not a slut and I would never ever pressure you. It dosent matter what he says, He knows nothing. I Know you, and I know us."

She sniffled. " Okay. I love you toby."

Toby. I smiled at the name. " Come here I have something to show you." I take her hand and guide her across her bedroom to glass sliding doors that lead to a balcony. The balcony over looks her wide, open backyard. About 20 feet out theres a huge willow tree by a small river that leads into the woods to the side. Underneath the tree I had carefully positioned candles before texting her earlier. The candles were arranged to spell out:

PROM?

I was the only senior of our friends, and theyre all sophmores. so, they couldnt go, only juniors and seniors could go to prom. Hopefully though, instead of just me, It would be me and Tris. She noticed the candles quickly because it was so dark out, and at first just kept looking between them and me- shocked.

"Tobi-" she started to say something but I cut her off

" Beatrice prior, will you go to prom with me?"

"Tobias, prom isnt for 3 months!"

"Is that a no?" I asked her jokingly. except I was starting to get nervous.

" I would be honored to go to prom with you Tobias Eaton."

We stayed out on the balcony for about another hour, looking at the stars, kissing, and talking. It was cliche but It felt right. eventually we went inside, and she fell alseep in my arms.
