hey everyone. this is the REPOST of chapter 15, because it wasnt showing up for some people. If you already read it just skip through it. Ill try to get a new chapter soon.

__________________________________TRIS POV___________________________________

I wake up in Tobias' arms, and smile. Until I remember where we are. my house. My house that is not empty- as it usually is. My house where my whole family -including daddy dearest- are currently sleeping. My family who would most certainly not approve of a boy spending the night, let alone sleeping in my bed.

"Tobias!" I say in a frantic whisper. I have no idea why Im whisperig. My house is so big, no one would hear me if I was screaming.

"Tobias! wake up." I say in a normal voice this time. After a minute of me shaking him he finally opens his eyes- confused.

'wha- what's wrong tris?"

"Tobias take a minute to think about where we are, and who else is currently living here."

"Oh shit. What do we do?"

"um." I say nervously, trying to think quickly. "Our best bet is sneaking you out now, anf hoping no ones awake yet."

"And if they are?" He questioned.

"Ill think of something if we get to that point."

"If you say so" We get dressed quickly, both of us hoping my parents and brother dont wake up before he can leave. He gives me a reassuring kiss as we leave my room silently. We descend my many flights of stairs and as we near the kitchen I hear voices.

"Oh god, here we go." I sneak around the cornor to see who it is see its only caleb and my father. Wonderful. "So now what?" Tobias asked me quietly.

"good question. I guess were just gonna go in there together and see how it goes. Just try to stay calm." I tell him lacing my fingers with his. We walk into the kitchen and caleb is the first to address us. well- me. he has yet to look up and see Tobias.

"Good Morning Beatrice. I thought I heard you talking. Were you speaking on the phone?" caleb asks me formal and polite as usual.

"well actually-" I start. He looks up and sees me and Tobias holding hands. My father still hasnt ifted his eyes from the paper and hardly aknowledged I was there. That was about to change.

Caleb interrupted me." Beatrice. Who. The hell. Is that. And why did he come out of your room with  you. dear god I dont want to know. Nevermind just who is he." He says angry and obviously flustered.

"Caleb calm down, nothing happened. He just slept over. And his name is Four." I tell him, calmly. I see my father standing up, fuming. He looked angrier than ever.

"I knew you were a whore, but you have no right to disrespect me and let that thing stay in my house just so you could have sex with him." My "father" said.

Caleb stood shell shocked in the corner, and Tobias- well he looked pissed. It was almost scary, but I knew his anger wasnt directed at me. I saw my dad unhook his belt and position it in his hand. That was enough. He had hurt me like that and I wasnt going to start letting him now. Tobias saw this too, and his expression went from pissed to deadly. He started to move in on my dad, but this is my battle. I turned to face Tobias and gently laid both hands on his chest.

"Tobias," I say quietly, gently so only he can hear ." Let me take care of it. I promise he wont hurt me." I kiss him full on right then and there. " Wait for me outside" I add still whispering. He walks out the door, reluctantly.

"Youre very unlucky that he left, Beatrice." mY father snarled.

" No, dad Youre very unlucky thst he left." I knew I couldnt beat my father in a fight. But I was quick on my feet and If I put ewnough power forth, I might be able to stop this so called fight before it starts. He raises his arm back, about to whip the belt, but I stop him. I go straight in for his throat with a punch which chatched him off guard and allows me to knee him in the gut. He drops to the floor, and i kick his head one last time.

"For years you have tormented me for no reason. And somehow you still had the nerve to call yourself a father.  Not anymore. You're done. And im done with you." I tell him, shaking with anger, just before he blacks out.

"Bea-" Caleb finally is able to talk again, regaining his composure. Or, trying to at least.

I cut him off "Its Tris."

"Okay, Tris then." He starts again. obviously scared and confused. "Im going to get him to a hospital, and report him to the police. Ill also tell mom what happened, Okay? Its all going to be okay, I promise." He told me, his big brother side coming out. 

"Be gentle- wen you tell mom." I managed to choke out. My emotions had finally caught up with me. " She thought this had ended years ago. It wont- wont be easy... for her to hear about it."

He pulled me into a hug. " For her? Be-Tris shes only going to be worried about you."

"Thank you caleb. Ill.. be right back." I pull away from his embrace and walk out my front door. I see toby leaning against his car, waiting just as I had asked him to. He sees me coming and runs to meet me. He immeadiatly pulls me into a tight hug. I felt so safe in his arms, and wished to stay like that foreverm but her pulled back, still thought, with his arms on my shoulders.

"What happened? Are  you alright? I shouldnt have left, if he laid a hand on you I swear ill kill him."

"Its okay. I might of already done just that." I lamely attempted to joke with him, but he just looked confused."kidding. hes not dead, but he is unconcious."

Tobias fianlly understood what happened but I exxplained further anyway. "He tried to whip me but a stopped him. Punched him a few times and kicked his head." Tears were running down my face now.

"Thats my girl." he said lightly, wiping my tears away with his thumb. We sat on the hood of his car, for a while and he held me tight until I calmed down.

"Hey Tris," He said " Happy birthday."

I laughed pathetically, in disbelief. I had completley forgotten.

"now this was suppossed to be a secret, but I think you deserve some warning. We were going to set up a party tonight. And the girls are coming today to take you to the mall for an outift." He continued.

"Knowing them theyll probably be here soon. Thank you by the way, that is sweet. I should go get ready." I say quietly,  then, louder. " Do I look like Ive been crying?"

"No, Tris." He said " You look tough as nails."
