Chapter 16
TOBIAS POV
After we got home, I spent my night cleaning the house top to bottom because Marcus was coming back from business tomorrow.
After that I'm exhausted, but I shower and stuff cause Tris is coming over to help me study for my history test tomorrow.
When I'm done getting dressed I hear the doorbell ring so I race down the stairs and open the door.
"Hey Tris" I say and wave "won't you come in."
"Hey four, and it would be my pleasure." She says and walks in
We go upstairs and we read and I take notes. "So Four, Why did they Form Dauntless?" She asks
"They blamed cowardice for the war." I say, that one was easy it's a question we have on every test from pre K to 12th grade, well every history test.
"That would be correct Four," she says and I frown
"Don't call me that."
"Then what should I call you?" She asks
"How about Tobias, when we're alone." I say and she nods and smiles.
"Ok Tobias." I like hearing my name from her mouth, it's not being used aggenst me for once.
I want her to know me. But that comes with a price.
We continue studying for and hour or so then she leaves. I have a half an hour until Marcus gets home it ten o'clock now. I sigh and lay down on my bed.
After a bit my phone starts buzzing signaling I am getting a Text.
Z- hey man how did it go with Tris
4- how did you know she came over?
Z- I have my ways
4- lemme guess she was talking to Uriah when she had to leave?
Z- are you spying on us?
4- yes, no, maybe ;)
Z- dude you freak me out sometimes
4- good! Anyway gtg my dad will be home any minute from his business trip
Z- cool have fun, bye
4- bye
Yup, I'm gonna have fun.......
And if on cue I hear a slam and Loud feet coming up the stairs.
Please just go to bed, please just go to bed. I think to myself. But nope he shoves open my door, with alcohol in hand.
Great he's Drunk.
"I'm sure you did something this weekend that deserves a beating, considering you can't do anything right." He says slurping his words as he grabs for his belt.
I turn my back to him
"Take off your shirt, you worthless piece of crap." He says and in one swift motion my shirt is on my bed, he hits me with the belt and I feel the sting I fall to the grownd kneeling over on my bed.
After so many more hits he leaves me bleeding not being able to move.
