*Tris POV*
I squint at the bright light coming and look around for the source of that horrible alarm.

I look around and notice everyone sleeping around me. The only two missing were Zeke and Tobias.

I roll of the couch, still wrapped in my blanket and make my way to the bathroom. I heard water running and somebody mumbling so I put my ear up to the door.

"Singing in the shower, dancing in the mirror!" I hear Tobias singing and I start giggling. I run and grab my phone and when I came back the shower was off and the door was cracked.

I quietly open the door and peek in.It was empty. I frowned and slowly crept out.

"Looking for someone?" A raspy voice whispered in my ear and I squealed punching something hard behind me.
"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder! In-" my rampage was cut off by a hand covering my mouth and chuckling.

"Damn Tris. Your going to wake everyone up." Tobias grunts turning me to face him.

I crack a smile and give him a innocent look.

I slip away and waltz into the kitchen pulling out a pan and bacon.

"Need help?" Tobias asks following me.

"You? I'm good." I grumble.

"Hey! I'm a great cook!" He whines.

"Whatever. By the way where's Zeke?"

"No clue. He was leaving when I got up." He answered shrugging picking at a nail.

"I don't believe you." I state staring at his eyes and he flinches.

"W-what? Why?" Toby stutters.

"Your picking at your nails first of all and stuttering like a freak."

"Fine. He said something about Tony, ass kicking, Cole, death.." He mumbles avoiding eye contact.

"What?! Shoot I have to stop him!" I yell quickly running into the hall and grabbing my coat.

"Tris wait!" Tobias yells.

"What?"

"What about the bacon?!?" He cries.

"You make it." I yell and after hearing him groan I slip out the door.

.........

"Zeke!" I holler as I pound on his door.

I hear hushed voices and foot steps before the door flew open.

"Zeke before you do anything thi-"

"Tris?" A confused voice asked. I look up and Toni is staring at me with Cole by her side.

I sigh and relief and awkwardly chuckle.

"So it's beautiful out right.....?" I nervously say.

"Yeah. Lovely. Do you need anything?" She looks at me with a pleading look then back at Cole.

"Oh... Oh. Haha no, just checking up on you.." I give a half wave and start to leave.

"Um okay. See you at school tomorrow?" Toni questions.

"Yeah sure." I jog to my car and leave them together. Where is Zeke?

....

*Tobias's POV*

Where the heck does this go?

I scrunch up my face as I hold a pan and package of bacon.

"Okay, place the pan in the bacon.... or is it bacon in the pan?" I mumble to myself.

"Oh god hand me that before you burn down the place." I spin around and see Zeke behind me.

I roll my eyes dramatically and toss him the package.

I watch as he skillfully puts the pan on the oven top and spray it.

"Woah. Dude your like the worlds top chef." I state in awe.

"It's cooking bacon, not rocket science." Zeke retorts.

"Whatever. Hey by the way, where were you? Tris left in a hurry to find you."

"Oh you know, went to tell my sister about that arrogant cheating bastard, but I don't get a thank you or hug. Nope, I get a spiteful response from my only little sister about getting out of her life. Do you know how that feels? No of course you-" Zeke stops his rant and smells the air.

"Do you smell that?" He asks.

"Yeah it smells like burnt ba- OH MY GOSH ITS THE BACON!!!" I wail and push Zeke to the ground and run to my poor babies.

"HELP! WE NEED HELP.!" I scream.
Not ten seconds later Uriah, Marlene, Christina, and Will are standing wide eyed in the kitchen doorway.

"Wh-what happened?!" Uriah said panting.

"My poor b-babies.." I stutter sobbing.

"The bacon? You woke us up alarmed for bacon? I'm going to kill you."

Christina seethes slowly walking toward me.

"Ahhhhhh!" I screech and dart out of the kitchen.

I heard the door open and shut and Tris walks in.

"My savior!" I wrap my arms around her and put her in front of me.

"What the heck is going on?" She squeals.

"You should have never left me with the bacon.." I whisper as my attacker walks in.
