chapter 15

Tobias' POV

"I love you too" she replies before heading inside. I am so glad that she knows who I really am, I hated not being honest. But as soon as she's gone, i have to face the fact that I now have to go back to my broken home. I just hope that Marcus is asleep, or passed out drunk. i drive home and head inside, i can smell alcohl but I see him watching the TV. Damnit! "Toobiasss! wurrve uu bin?" he asked with a drunken slur. "out" I replied, he couldn't get much from that. "I got that! with who?" he said, standing up. "a friend from school." I answered. "a girlfriend? eh?" I nod. "I'm not surprised, you man whore!" That hurt. "I had not dated anyone in two years, I've been with tris for over a month." he scoffed. "How many times you slept with her" I am starting to get realy annoyed. "none" I reply. "oh, well if you think she loves you then you're wrong, no one will ever love you, I don't your friends don't and she certainly doesn't" Then he hits me over the head with a beer bottle, the last thing I think before I pass out is, what if Tris really doesn't love me...

Tris' POV

It's ten o'clock and I decide to call Tobias to thank him, and just talk for a while. I dial and it rings, and rings, and rings, before going to answer phone. He always picks up, no matter what time it is or what he's doing. Oh no, what if Marcus has done something to him. I run downstairs and I'm just leaving as I shout, "I think Four's in trouble, I'll be back soon" I'm about to close the door when caleb comes out. "I'm coming" I nod, I don't know what Marcus is capable of. We drive to Tobias' house. We arrive and I ring the door bell. no answer. oh god. I reach down and look under the door mat. i thank my lucky stars that there's a key. "how did you know that was there?" asks Caleb. "lucky guess." I unlock the door and head inside. We see Marcus passed out on the couch with a beer bottle in his hand. And then i nearly faint, next to his feet I see Tobias, knocked out with a pool of blood around his head. please don't be dead. "call an ambulance!" I practically scream at Caleb. He pulls ou his phone and dials 999. While he does that I run over to Tobias and feel for a pulse. thank god, there's one there but its faint. "Please stay with me dont die" I say to him. I look around and see what caused this, a beer bottle with Tobias' blood on it. MARCUS! how could he do this to his own Son?! I show Caleb and he calls the police aswell, all the while I hold on to Tobias' hand. "please don't leave me, I love you" I whisper. Where is the ambulance!? suddenly I hear sirens. I run outside and guide the pararmedics in. They check his pulse and immediately put him on a stretcher and take him into the ambulance. I climb into the back wih him and tell caleb to wait for the police, and tell them what we know. He nods and stands outside the house. I turn back to Tobias and take his hand as we drive to the hospital. he has an oxygen mask on and looks so vulnerable, so different from the Four that everyone knows. We arrive at the hospital and they take him away from me, but I refuse to leave him so i come into the room with him, I am told to sit in the corner. When I look at him it takes every ounce of will power to not run up and try to save him, but the doctors know what they are doing.

Cliffy!
