Here is another new story. I know... a lot of new stories,but I am not motivated to update any story yet... FORGIVE ME!
TRIS POV
I laughed as he attempted to sing along to the song. He was singing the wrong notes. He stopped and laughed with me. Tobias's flat ,unattractive hair swished as he plopped down on the chair next to me.
"You sing." He says. I nod and sing to the unknown song neither of us knew. He laughs at me.
...
I sit down at the dinner table with Christina. She was waving her hand in my face.
"Earth to TRIS!"
"What?!"
She jumps. "What is wrong? You spaced out there for a moment." She says eating her salad. I sigh and start to eat my soup.
"Nothing."
She gives me an understanding look.
Chris knew when to ask me questions and when not too, that is why I have her as my best friend.
I had moved into her house three years ago. We live together alone. She works at home. She writes reviews about whatever and gets paid just enough for both of us to live. As for me, I'm doing some job hunting. Life hasn't been so good since my divorce. Everything came crashing down,when Tobias quit his job and decided to start a phone company. Everyday, he'd stay home trying to create a new program or something. I had to work three to four jobs.
He sat at his desk tweeking with something as I walk in and collapse on the bed from exhaustion.
"Can you please make dinner?" He asks.
"I need a break."
He stares at me . His ugly round glasses makes his eyes large. "From what exactly?"
I sat up and walked to the kitchen and started cooking.
...
He never knew about my jobs. He was always in and out of the house and too busy to notice. Marcus Eaton,his father, owed so many people money. He would ask Tobias to pay them back. Tobias didn't have a job and the debts landed on me,but Tobias never knew that. I couldn't let him handle the burden. Then one day, I broke.
"I can't do it anymore!"
"What can you not do?! I've been doing all I can to support you. Can you not support me for a while? I just need time to finish this project .Afterwards, you won't have to be up late and cooking ot cleaning the house all the time."
"That's not the problem!" I shout.
"I should have know. You just wanted me for my money. You wanted me because I worked as at a large computer company. Because I had a wealthy father too!But now that I've quit that job you want to leave!"
Tears streamed out.
"That's not it!" I yelled.
He storms out of the room. The next day I filed a divorce.
...
A month after that I had moved in with Chris . She helped me throw it. I am now 26 and a divorcee. I hurt so much. He wasn't attractive or stylish,but I loved him. I guess he never loved me. He just wanted me for my looks . Compared to him I was pretty,but next to another girl I was plain.
I sigh. The past is the past. I can't change it. This is the present,and I guess Tobias is having it better than me,because he is now the number company with the best tech savvy merchandise on the market. Every where I look, there are billboards with his creation or company name there.
Eaton Enterprise
I guess that's life. No, that's my life.
