Chapter 22
Tris's POV
"We're here!" I shout as we burst through the doors. In the room is Tyler, Evelyn. Marcus *cue disgust in my voice*, Amar, Tori, and the rest of our group.
"What happened to you two?" Tori asks.
"These two idiots happened." Shauna comments when Zeke and Tobias stumble into the room while singing the ABC's.
"ABCDPST." Zeke slurs.
"No no no you're singing it wrong." Tobias slurs,"It's ABCDWQT."
"Are they drunk!?" Evelyn asks atonished. Everyone from our group start craking up while the rest of the people at the table stare at them like they are insane. Although I can see Tori and Amar are trying their best not to laugh. I've always liked them.
I nod,"Yep. I guess their defintion of a 'guy's night' is to go and get drunk." I say.
"Trissy." Tobias wines pulling on my arm.
"I told you to stop calling me that, and what do you want?" I ask.
"This wasn't my idea. Zekie is a meanie and forced me to drink." He slurs while swaying back in forth. I roll my eyes and lead him to an empty chair and sit next to him. Shauna does the same and Zeke sits on the left side of Tobias.
"I think we need to adress the elephant in the room." Tyler states.
"There's an elephant in the room? I don't see one." Zeke says suddenly.
"Yeah the closet one to an elephant is him." Tobias slurs pointing to Marcus. Our entire group bursts out to a fit of laughter. Even Tori and Amar are laughing. Marcus jus sits there glaring at him and Evelyn looks appalled. Tyler, well I don't know what's going through his mind. He's just sitting there emotionless.
"Tobias." I say through laughs,"Why don't you just stay quiet for now, ok?" He pouts but thankfully shuts up and so does Zeke.
"Anyways as I was saying it seems like Marcus has delivered some helpful information. We decided you should here this considering your helping with the attack against the rebels. Apparently they have moved the attack to Sunday." Tyler says.
"That's in two days." Will says,"How are we going to get prepared in so little time?"
"Yeah and how do we know Marcus isn't lying? I mean aren't you at least a little suspicious that he is still on their side and is just trying to fool us?" I ask like it's obvious.
"Know why would I do that? I mean if I really was on their side and I knew where your compound is, don't you think we would issue an attack on you? I'm against the rebels just as much as you are." He says calmly.
"And how do we know you aren't lying? I mean that is what you are best at. How are we so sure that we can trust you?" I question.
"You don't have to trust me. You just have to believe me. I mean that is if you want your parents to stay alive." He states simply.
My eyes widen and I sit up straighter,"What happened to my parents?"
"Nothing, yet. If we don't take down the rebels they are going to destroy all of the goverment officials. Maybe now it will make more sense on why I'm on your side. The government is fine just the way it is." He says.
I nod hesitantly and lean back in my chair. There is no way I can ever trust him, but I do believe him and I'm sure everyone else in this room does as well. I know sober Tobias, though will think differently.
"Tomorrow will be a day to rest up and relax before the attack. On Sunday morning everyone in the compound will meet in the pit then talk strategies. Mosrt likely the eight of you will lead a group into the building and take down the rebels." Amar says.
"Especially the leaders." Tori adds,"We need you guys to capture them and bring them here so we can put them into a... questioning if you will."
"Who are the leaders exactly?" Marlene asks.
"Eric, Peter, Jeanine, Lauren, and Justin." Evelyn lists. I scoff in my head. She says her son like it's a normal thing for him to be leading a plan of taking over the government.
"I don't like any of them." Drunk Tobias states.
"Me too they are all butt holes!" Zeke agrees. Tobias looks over at him and they stare at each other for a couple of seconds then burst into laughter. They end up laughing so hard that their chairs fall backwards onto the floor.
I roll my eyes ignoring them and turn to Evelyn to bring up something none of us has mentioned,"What about Lynn?" I hear Shauna let out a shaky breath from next to me.
"Oh yes that is another thing we wanted to address." Evelyn states as she holds out a folded peice of paper to us,"This is from Lynn. She wanted us to give you guys this." Shauna looks at me and I nod my head for her to take it.
She opens it, takes a deep breath, and reads is out loud,"Hey guys. You probably hate my guts by now and want nothing to do with me. I mean I get it, I would hate me too, but you just have to hear me out. I am not apart of this. The only reason why I did it is blackmail in a way. They told me I had to be apart of their group and help them through their plan. If I didn't accept then the eight of you would be killed.
On the day of the attack I will be there at the entrance and side with the allegiance. Guys you have to trust me. They will stop at nothing to get what they want, and what they want is power and you. They sure do know how to hold grudges and they want every one of you dead. Just so you know, I love you guys. There is no way I would ever do anything to you with bad intentions, please believe me. I will see you on attack day. Good luck and be strong. -Lynn."
Shauna lets out a deep breath and whipes away some stray tears. I put my arm around her to comfort her,"See everything is fine. Lynn is fine and she doesn't hate you."
Shauna nods and smiles through her tears while sniffling,"Yeah, I know."
"Woah that was deep." Zeke says. I look down and realize him and Tobias were on the floor and leaning against the wall with their legs crossed like little kids.
"Kind of like Spongebob." Tobias adds.
"Ah man buddy! Everytime I watch it I rethink my life!" Zeke agrees.
Tobias gasps in realization and turns to Zeke,"Dude you and me, we are Spongebob and Patrick!"
Zeke's eyes widen,"Ah man we so are!"
"We're all goofy goobers yeah." Tobias starts singing the Zeke joins in,"We're all goofy goobers yeah."
"Ha! They are so drunk!" Uriah exclaims.
Evelyn shakes her head,"Tobias is to young to be drunk. He's only 20."
I roll my eyes,"I'm surpried you remember how old he is. Besides he's been drinking since what? Freshman year of high school at the least."
"What!?" Marcus and Evelyn yell. Marcus out of anger and Evelyn out of shock.
I nod,"Oh yeah. I mean it's not like you know. Neither of you were there for him." This shuts them up while the group sits there 'oooo'ing.
"Well we should get going." Christina says suddenly to our group. We nod and stand up.
"What are we going to do with them?" Will asks signaling to my drunk boyfriend and his best friend.
"Hey buddy?" Zeke asks looking over at Tobias.
"Yeah?"
"Is it just me or do you really need to take a dump?" Zeke asks.
Tobias thinks for a second then shakes his head and looks forward.,"Nah bra it's just you." Zeke nods and looks forward as well.
"I got this. I've had to deal with a drunk Zeke more than enough times." Shauna states and kneels in front of them.
"Hey you two." She says softly like she is talking to a kid.
"Hi Shauna!" They say in unison.
"Do you guys want some Dauntless cake?" She asks.
Their eyes widen like a kid on Christmas morning,"Yeah!!"
"Well follow us." She holds out her hands for them and helps them up. They both walk in the front of us so we can keep an eye on them.
"That was great! There is just one problem with your little plan." Marlene says.
"What's that?" Shauna asks.
"When you bring them home they are going to want the cake." She answers.
Shauna waves her off,"Right when their heads hit the pillow they will be out like a light. When they wake up though, they will have one heck of a hangover. So Tris beware of on hectic morning."
"Great forgot about the hangover." I mutter and walk to the apartment I share with Tobias. I say my goodbyes to the group and fish for my keys in my pocket. I move to open the door, but realize that Tobias isn't next to me. I look around frantically and see him and Zeke playing leap frog. I roll my eyes and pull Tobias away then unlock the door and step into the apartment.
"Hey guys." Hannah greets. She came over to the apartment to watch Mason since it was so last mintue. Sadly she is still staying at Evelyn's, but as soon as we get out of this place we will move in with Tobias and the guys.
She starts craking up,"Is- Is Tobias drunk!?" I look behind me and see him walking, or should I say stumbling around the room saying something about Spiderman and a bully or something like that. Ok then?
I nod,"Yep Zeke thought it would be a good idea."
She rolls her eyes,"He thinks drinking is the answer to everything. Anyway I should be going. Bye Tris."
"Bye Hannah!" I say back.
"Bye drunk Tobias!" She shouts to him from across the room.
"Bye sissy I wuv you!!!" He excalims. She shakes her head while laughing and walks out the door. I look down and smile as I see Mason asleep on the couch, bundled in a pile of blankets. I scoop him up careful not to wake him and tuck him into his bed. I sit there for a second admiring my little boy and stroke his hair. I lean down and give him a kiss on his forehead.
"I love you baby boy. So much." I whisper and walk out making sure to shut his door quietly. Now on to the other baby. I enter the living room and see no sight of Tobias.
"Tobias!" I whisper/yell,"Tobias, come out come out where ever you are." I look in the kitchen, still no sign of him. Bathroom, nope. I then go into our room and find Tobias passed out on the floor with his head leaning against the wall making his cheeks squished. I can't help but admire how adorable he looks.
With all my strength I try to lift him off the ground. After a couple of minutes I finally have him leaning against my body. Just as I do that he slips from my grasp and falls to the floor making his head hit the bed.
I bite my lip and go after him,"Well that will make his headache worse in the morning." I whisper to myself and try again. Thankfully I get him onto the bed. I pull of his shoes and socks and take off his jacket. I pull the covers ontop of him and he instantly cuddles into them. A smile grows onto my face as I stroke Tobias's hair just as I did with Mason.
I change into some pajamas and take off my makeup then hop into bed with a sleeping Tobias. I roll over facing him and just watch him. Hey no judging I know you would do the same! I lean forward and kiss his forehead.
"I love you Tobias. More than you will ever know." I whisper to him and drift into a peaceful sleep.
