Never too Late (Fourtris AU)

Chapter 24

"Tris?"

I shook my head.

I tucked my head in my knees and let my body tremble.

A terrible sound reached my ears, and then I realized I was making that sound.

His cold laughter took over. Teasing and taunting, his sadistic words dancing around me, locking me in a cage.

"Now would be a good time to die, right?" He laughed, "But I'm going to make you suffer."

I felt someone touch my arm and I shrank back.

"Don't touch me, Peter!" I screamed, my voice harsh and cracking.

"Tris, it's Tobias."

"Don't touch me!" I screeched.

I backed to the corner of the bed.

I felt someone lift my chin, forcing my eyes to open. I saw soft blue not cold green.

"See? It's me. I'm here." He repeated, tucking me into his arms.

I sobbed, not exactly knowing how I got in this state.

"You had a nightmare, baby," He murmured. "Your parents left for a business trip. You told them to go, remember? Caleb is with Teagan."

I nodded.

"TeaJay's good. Anything else you need, Tris?" Caleb said behind us.

I just needed Tobias.

"Night." Tobias said.

"Good Night." Caleb left the room.

"Tobias?" I whimpered in his neck.

"Shhh.. baby. You okay?" He pulled me into his lap.

I just let tears fall, the flashback still fresh.

He held me tight and rocked me like a baby.

Tobias gently kissed my nose, causing me to giggle quietly.

I felt him smile.

"I love you." I murmured in his chest.

"Say it again." He whisper, raw emotion clogging his voice.

"I love you Tobias Eaton."

"I love you, Beatrice Prior."

I cuddled closer and fell asleep, peacefully.

TeaJay crying woke me, but didn't seem to stir the others.

I got up, and walked to her nursery.

"Hi." I muttered, picking her up.

After feeding her, we walked downstairs.

I cradled her in my arms, she was still to little to do anything else.

She had beautiful brunette hair the suited her.

Her blue eyes were wide, but blended with her pale complection.

"You're a beautiful baby, aren't you?"

I looked at the clock, it was only six a.m.

I one-handedly poured a bowl of cereal, and we sat on the couch, watching some random cartoon.

Cartoons always made me feel better, like Tom and Jerry or The Mr Men Show.

"Good Morning." Caleb said, two hours later.

"Want some French toast? I'm hungry." He didn't wait for my reply before walking in the kitchen.

After eating French toast with Caleb, Tobias finally showed up.

"Sleeping beauty is awake!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah I took so long cause' somebody didn't kiss me." He playfully glared.

He took TeaJay from me, "Hi Teagan!"

She giggled.

The room was silenced by the door bell.

"I'll get it!" I jumped up to answer the door.

"Pizza!"

Hi. No, I am not better, so don't ask. Just vote please. And I'm not a douche. Isn't that what you call a guy? I'm not a guy.

Yeah the definition for douche is an obnoxious man.

Thanks..
