Oh my god Tris! This can't be happening. I am so pissed off. Dad got a boring job in L.A. I don't want to go there. I have only one year of school left. I don't want to leave you….
We need to talk about this, figure out a way that I can stay here in Chicago. This is really bad, Tris.

Subject: Stay with me!
Hey don't go! Mum and dad say you can stay with us for the year. Finish school and then we'll decide where we want to go. Please stay! It'll be absolutely fantastic living together. It's exactly what we wanted when we were kids….to live together. We can do so many things we used to do when we were young, remember?
The time we did 'Santa Watch'…we talked using walkies talkies. Even though we could hear more static than our own voices, we thought we were so cool. I had the 7-10pm watch and you had the 10-1 am watch. You were supposed to wake up but you didn't…so it was just me, screaming into the talkie, asking you to wake up. Well, guess what?! I saw Santa and you didn't. Boo-hoo!
If you stay Tobias, we can stay up and talk all night. We can sneak out to late night parties together…think about how much fun it'll be.
Talk to your mum and dad. Convince them! Anyway, you're 18 you can whatever you want to. If you can't stay with me, at least stay with your brother Zeke. Your parents can't say no to that.
Dear Tris,
I hate to do this. I hate to say goodbyes and it's not goodbye anyway because you're going to come over and visit me all the time. Promise me.
I have to go now….I'll miss you lots.
Love,
Tobias
P.S.: I was awake that night. My battery had died and I saw Santa too.
Tobias,
Hey buddy! It's going to be alright. Once you are settled there, you are going to enjoy the place. I promise I'll visit you in a few days. I miss you. This place isn't going to be the same without you. Don't worry about Tris, her life won't fall apart without your presence. Take care of yourself little brother. If you want I can keep an eye on Tris as well, she is like my lil sis anyways.
Love,
Zeke (+Shauna)

I can't believe everyone I love is gone…he's gone and you're gone. Why'd you have to go and 'find yourself' in France? Why couldn't you find yourself in the mirror or the room next to mine? I really miss you Chris.
I can't stand the fact that Tobias broke up with slutty Nita two weeks before he had to leave. He spent the entire two weeks with me, day and night, which was just like earlier times. We actually had so much fun…it leaves me sadder than before. That idiot should've spent that time away from me instead of being with me!
Stupid Al threw him a going-away party. He didn't really mean it, he just wanted an excuse to throw a party. To be honest, they both never really got along. Not after the 'chip bol' incident and the 'Wet red head' incindent. We decided to leave his party and went to the club/bar where we held your surprise 21st. Tobias pretended to be a bouncer and refused to let an entire bunch of people in! The manager of the bar didn't seem to notice his little play. We both spent hours pretending to be bouncers and refused entry. After a while, we got bored and headed in for some drinks. Well, I bet you can easily guess what happened next, we wept about him leaving….that was the worst yet the best night I'd spent with him.
My life is getting more and more depressed these days. No one talks to me at school. Tobias and me always pushed out anyone we couldn't stand and I guess those people are enjoying my misery. The teachers like it. Some of them even congratulated me for holding myself together after him leaving. You won't believe how much Tobias would hate me if he gets to know that I am actually paying attention to what the teachers say. I feel like they're the only ones talking to me. It's so bad Chris.
I wake up in the morning and I feel like there's something not quite right about this. I feel like something's missing and then I remember ….my best friend is gone. He is really gone. My only friend. It's stupid for me to rely so much on just one person. It's coming back to me now.
Sorry for whining on and on…let's talk about your new life. How are you doing in France? What about your French class? Dad wants to know if you want some money and if you have found yourself yet. Mom worries about you Chris. They both are a little upset about you dropping off from college. But don't worry, they are nice people. They wish you all the best for your future and finding yourself. So, have you met anyone? I heard that the French are very yummy. Not like Chicago boys. If you have a few spare men, send them my way. I love you big sis!

Hello my darling sister!
I thought about what you said and I have come to a conclusion that it's good idea that he's not here for your final year in school. I think you know how BAD you both do when you're together! Also, this may be the year where you don't get suspended. You have a chance of making mum and dad proud. I know how you feel like. I am also alone here. You may won't want to hear what I am about to say but it's true. You're only 17 and within the a few years, you won't miss him much.
You and Tobias have your entire lives to catch up with each other. I can promise you that soulmates always end up together. Shitty and slutty ex-girlfriends like Nita don't matter as time moves forward. Best friends stay together forever!
I am doing fine in Paris. My job in the restaurant is going on well. Tell mum and dad that I haven't found myself yet and I may have found someone else in the run. A tall, white and handsome stranger…
A/N: I hope you liked this chapter. I apologise for the short length of the chapter. Stay tuned for the upcoming chapters which I promise are full of twists you didn't expect were coming. Please review, follow and favourite! Thanks for reading!
