Not My Situation

Chapter 30:

Tris' Perspective

    Tobias' yells echo off the chasm walls. His grip on my legs loosen, and he sets me down. "I'm gonna get you for this." he says. Natalie drops all of the bags, and runs toward the Pit.

Her playful screams fill my ears as I chase after them, laughing. "Dad, no!" she shouts. I see him lift her up into his arms, and carry her back across the chasm railing. She is squealing.

I follow after them, and grab the bags as I pass them. He runs up the stairs, and Natalie winks at me. I smile. He swings the apartment door open, and throws her on the couch. I walk into the bedroom, and set the bags on the bed. I sit down, and go through them.

Natalie's bear from Marlene, dirty clothes, and of course, Dauntless cake. I grab the Dauntless cake, and walk to the kitchen. I pull out a plate, and cut a piece. I grab a fork from the drawer and walk over to the living room. I plop myself on the couch, and dig in.

Tobias is tickling Natalie on the couch, and her face is glowing red. "Stop, stop! I can't take it!" she says through laughs. He gets off the couch, and stares intensely at me. He runs over, and I realize what he's after. He takes the fork from my hand, and takes a huge fork full.

    "Tobias Eaton! Go get your own slice!" I say. His cheeks are bulged, and he runs into the kitchen. I hear shuffling, and Natalie plops down next to me. "Can I have a bite?" she says. "Why don't you get your own piece?" I say.

    "Because I just want one bite." she says. I take a fork full and hold it out in front of her. She bites it from the fork, and gets up from the couch. "Where is my phone?" she says. "Safe house." I say. She groans. "We'll get it soon." I say.

She disappears off into her room, and I hear Tobias forking down the cake. "I swear if you ate that whole thing, I'm gonna give you a tickle attack." I say, eating the last bite of cake. I get up, and see him chewing a huge bite.

    "Gosh, you're just like Uriah." I say. He does something, what I think is laughing through the mouthful of cake. I set the plate in the sink, and lick the fork. I grab the cake before he can eat the rest. I put it in the fridge, and set the fork in the sink. He swallows, and groans.

    "Why'd you do that?" he says. "Dinner's in a couple hours." I say. He scoffs, and walks into the bedroom. I walk into the bedroom after him, and put the clothes in the dirty clothes basket. He takes the bear from the bed, and jumps on the bed, the bear tucked tight in his arms.

I take the bag off of the bed, and walk into the bathroom. I'm really dirty, and probably smell really bad. I start to run the water on the shower, and Tobias walks in after me. He heads straight for the toilet. I hear his zipper un-latch, and the sound of pee hitting water. I ignore him, and adjust the temperature. He is still peeing. I lift my shirt over my head, and take my pants off.

He is still peeing. "Geez, how much did you drink?" I say. "I had to go a couple hours ago, then it went away. But when we passed the chasm, I had to go really bad." he says.

I laugh. Steam rises from the shower, and I slip my bra and underwear off, and hop into the shower. I hear him flush, and the sound of the sink water running. I'm not surprised at how much dirt comes from my hair.

    "I've got to get in after you." he says. "Got it." I say. I hear the door shut.

Tobias' Perspective

    I walk into the living room, and sit on the couch. "MOM!" Natalie shouts from her bathroom. "MOM!!!!!" she shouts again. I jump from the couch, and into her bedroom.

I stand outside the bathroom door. "What's wrong?" I say. "I need Mom!" she says. "She's in the shower." I say. "Dang it." she says. "What?" I say. She groans.

    "I started my period." she says. My eyes go wide. This is not my situation. "Are you serious?" I say. "No Dad. I put ketchup in my underwear." she says flatly. "Fine, uh. What do I do?" I say. Tris always kept her period a secret. But, she'd let me know that she was on her period when she would get too mad.

Or when she got cramps, she'd ask me to go get pain killers. She groans. "Go get a pad!" she says. "Okay!" I say. Natalie started her period. Geez, she's growing up so fast. I run into our bathroom. I bust open the door. Steam blows in my face from Tris' shower.

    "I need a pad!" I shout. Tris peeks her head from the shower curtain. "Tobias, sweetie. Would you like to explain to me why you need a pad?" she says. "Not me! Natalie! She started her period, and she won't get up from the toilet!" I say. She sighs.

    "They're in the cabinet under the sink." she says. Her head disappears. I walk over to the cabinet under the sink, and kneel down. I open it up, and see many boxes. "Uh, what color is the box?" I say. "Black." she says. I see a box like the one she explained.

I pick it up, and read the box. 'Ladie's Absorbent Pads' it says. I grab a couple plastic wrapped square things, and put it back. I slam the cabinet doors shut and run out of the room. I run into her room, and almost trip over her paintball gun. I stand outside the door.

    "I got them!" I say. "Okay, good. Now I just need some underwear." she says. I sigh. "Which drawer?" I say. "Top one." she says. I walk over to her dresser and open the top one. I see multiple bras, swimming suits, and underwear. I see one swimming suit that is too small for something that I'd approve of.

    "Natalie! Explain this bikini!" I say. "Dad, just get me some underwear, please!" she shouts. I grab a pair, and rush to the door. "Got it!" I say. "Slide it under the door!" she says. I stuff the underwear under the door, and slide the pads underneath.

    "Thank you!" she says. I leave, and sit on the couch. I hear her walk out after a couple of minutes. I don't know what to say. "Do you know what we're having for dinner?" she says. I shake my head. She sits down next to me.

    "Thanks for being there for me." she says, and lays her head on my shoulder. "I always will." I say. I hear footsteps, and realize that it's Tris in a towel. "So, how'd it go?" she says.

Natalie lifts her head off my shoulder. "Good, except for the fact that I ruined a pair of underwear." she says. "Okay, I'm out." I say.

I leave, and walk into the bedroom. I lay on the bed, and stare at the ceiling. 

Short chapter, I know! I was running out of ideas but for some reason that came out. Please let me know what you think so far! Don't forget to vote and comment! :)
