Divergent High

Chapter 8

Tris pov

I knock on my parents door and Tobias holds the cake we brought. I wear a green dress with tan wedges while Tobias wears a plain grey t shirt with dark jeans.

My mom answers the door and embraces me in the tightest hug ever.

"Beatrice my darling we missed you" my mom says pulling away from the hug.

"We're so proud of you. Thank you for helping her get better" my mom says to Tobias hugging him

"It was all her" Tobias says and gives my mom and nice, gentle, hug.

Tobias and I greet the rest of our parents then it's time for dinner.

"It's buffet style so you can serve yourself as much as you want. I wanted you to feel as comfortable as possible" my mom says

"Thanks mom" I awkwardly say

"I'm so happy you're better Beatrice. Your mother and I were so worried you were going to die" my dad says and I sigh

"Well I'm better now so can we please change the subject" I say

"Look what you did Andrew you made her uncomfortable" I hear my mom say to my dad

I scoop pasta onto my plate and take a roll.

"Pasta your favorite" Tobias tells me and I giggle

"So Tris what do you plan on doing with your life. Our son has a career already picked out now what are you planning on doing" Tobias mom ask

"Oh wow I haven't thought about it" I say

I look at Tobias for support or maybe an answer because I know what I just said his mom would not approve.

"Tris will be home because of the baby so she hasn't really thought about it" he blurts out and I almost choke on the pasta I put in my mouth

"Tris, honey your having a baby. Why didn't you tell us" my mom says happily

"Well she's not pregnant yet, we're trying" Tobias says continuing on with the lie and I just shrink inside

What have we gotten ourselves into.

"But you just met the girl now you want to have a baby with her" Tobias dad says

"But we love each other" I smile going on with the lie for Tobias sake

"Tobias do not get that girl pregnant she will just fall back into her eating disorder. I work at a hospital, I've seen it happen" his mom Evelyn says

"Mom you know nothing about her" Tobias says

"I'm all for the baby" my mom says and I give her an awkward smile

"Eating disorder or not I think it's not the time for you two to have a baby when you've only been together for 3 months" Tobias dad says

"We're adults, living on our own, paying our own bills, you don't have the right to tell us what we can and cannot do" Tobias says to his dad

"Okay this escalated quickly how about we just forget about the whole baby thing right now and worry about getting to know each other, I mean I'm not pregnant so what's the point of arguing" I say to everyone

"Fine. Next question" Evelyn says

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years" she ask

This is when I wanted to say get pregnant, have a baby start a family but that conversation was already brought up.

"I want to be married and have a family." I say

"But you're already doing that now. Do you not understand how the world works? You need a job and have to be responsible" she barks at me

"Please don't interegate my daughter like that" my mom says to Evelyn

"Well can you show your daughter that she can't just rely on my son to pay for her everything. I mean this Australia trip is already going to cost him" Evelyn says

"So this is what all this is about mom" Tobias says

"You're mad about the Australia trip. Mom you don't have to worry about where my money goes. I have an amazing well paid job and I'm fine with supporting tris in anyway that I can." Tobias tells his mom

"We were also going to offer Tobias money for the trip so don't think your son is only paying. This is our daughter and we still pay for anything she needs help with" my dad says

"Hey don't use that voice with my wife" Tobias dad says

"I'm not using any tone of voice I was just telling her" my dad says back

"Your daughter needs to learn responsibility. She shouldn't be relying on mommy and daddy for everything." Tobias mom says

"Tris is responsible and knows how to do lots of things" my mom says

"Like what? Stick a finger down her throats and barf up food" Evelyn says and the room goes quiet.

She looks over at me and my eyes are wide and shocked that she would say that.

"Tris I am sorry. I was mad and that just came out" she says apologizing

"That's enough. I've had it" I whisper. I get up from my seat and walk out the front door and wait for Tobias to come out.

Seconds later he's by my side bringing me into a big hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" he says

"I didn't mean for the whole baby thing to get out of hand but I know what my mom is really mad about" he adds

"I don't want to go on the Australia trip anymore" I say as tears fall from my eyes.

"Everywhere I go... is disappointment. I mess up everything" I add

"You're not a disappointment, you are the strongest person I know" he says

"That baby thing was so out of hand" I say and we laugh

"It was but it was the only thought that came to mind" he says

"It's okay" I say putting a hand on his face

"Can we go home now" I say

"Anything you want" he has

This chapter was total crap.
