Tris POV:

I wake up and get ready for school. It's been two weeks since I've broke up with Tobias. I pick up Cameron and put him in the backseat of my car. I drive to the daycare center. Once I get there the young lady takes Cameron. "Bye Cam!" I say and the lady smiles. I get back in my car and drive to school. Once I get there I see Shauna, Marlene, and Christina standing next to my car. I get out and they hug me. "I'm so sorry about you and Four." Christina says. I hug them back. We pull apart and walk inside school together. I put my books in my locker and I hear the doors slam. I look up and see someone I barely recognize. The guy looks like a hobo. He has a red shirt on and black baggy shorts. The shirt has tons of holes in it. His hair is all messed up, it looks like he just woke up. He looks half asleep. Everyone he walks by covers their noses. He walks closer to me and I realize who it is. Tobias. I overhear him talking to Zeke and Uriah. "Four. What happened to you? And... Oh my god. Four, have you been drinking?!?" Uriah says loudly. Tobias scratches his head. "Maybe, maybe not. Why do you want to know anyways?" He says. I walk over to him. "Tris." He says sadly. I should be pitying him, but personally I don't know if I can, he's acting like a jerk right now. "Tris look maybe we can talk-" He starts. I walk away from him. I can't believe him. I walk into the bathroom and fix my makeup. I get a call. Tobias. I just answer it to get him to stop annoying me. "What do you want Tobias?" I ask annoyed. "Tris, if you would give me sometime to talk, maybe at lunch?" He says. I sigh. "Fine. But please, fix yourself up I can't go to lunch with you looking like that." I say and hang up. I walk out of the bathroom and see Al. Ugh. He's had a major crush on me since 5th grade. "Hey baby. I heard you broke up with Four. So you can be with me now." Al says. He pushes me against the wall and starts kissing me. The halls are empty so no one can defend me. "Al! AL!" I scream through his lips. I start to cry. He lifts up my shirt. I feel him quickly pull away. I open my eyes and see Tobias. He's all fixed up. He doesn't stink, he changed his shirt and he brushed his hair. Tobias grabs Al by the collar of his shirt. He punches him in the face, over and over again. "Four. It's fine. Four!" I shout. He stops and leaves Al unconscious on the floor. He puts his arm around me and I push it off. "Not yet." I say and we both laugh.

Tobias POV:

I sit down next to Tris at lunch. "Okay. Let me explain. That girl Evelyn? She's my mother, that I haven't spoke to in 10 years. I had to go see her. That's why I left. And I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." I say. She hugs me. I lean in for a kiss and she pushes me away. "The only thing you didn't fix about you, is your breath." She says. We laugh and she kisses me on the cheek. I get up and walk towards my next class.
