A/N So I've decided to go with a longer chapter with the important plot point and time skips. I just think that if I do this I'll have more ideas for chapter and stuff. Anyway, the reason I haven't updated in thirteen years is that I've been busy with dance which is now four days a week, and I just got my very first pair of pointe shoes so I've been doing pre-pointe stuff and my feet are killing me. That's it. Enjoy!
Chapter suggested by "I'm Selfish. I'm Brave." thanks for PM'ing me :)
Two Months Later
Today is the last day. The last day of Tobias and I living in the same apartment, he found a new one to live in two days ago and he's moving there today. Surprisingly he was the first one to bring up moving apart. Since the second day of our argument our fights kept getting worse and worse. One even had some wall punching on my part. My knuckles are still sore.
"Tris!" I hear Tobias call from the living room. I quickly finish my makeup, grab my cane then step out.
"Yeah?" I ask. He props the open door on his foot then turns to face me.
"I just wanted to say that I'm leaving now." he says with a note of finality in his tone.
"Honestly, I don't really give a shit." I say tilting my head to the side. "Bye, Four." he gives me one last glare then steps out of the apartment. He's going to the building about a block down with smaller apartments where Shauna and Caleb are staying. After a minute the silence in the room become deafening and I deiced I need to step out. I slip on some shoes and quickly leave my apartment building. The fresh air feels good as I walk around with no real purpose. Then without warning I walk into something and fall backwards.
"Oh Jesus, I am so sorry." a man says helping me back up.
"It's fine," I say with a chuckle. The mans emerald green eyes stare right into mine and I can feel my heart skip a beat. "Yeah it's totally fine." I stammer. He laughs, revealing a set of straight white teeth.
"Josh," he says sticking out his hand. I shake it hesitantly.
"Tris," I reply with a smile.
"Well since I so rudely knocked you over, can I apologize with some lunch?" he suggest. I look down at my watch and realize it is well past noon.
"Sure," it takes me a moment to disentangle myself from his eyes but when I do we both walk towards one of the small new restaurants. I've never been to this one before but I can tell it's almost identical to all of the other ones around. We both sit at the nearest table, right as a petite waitress comes to take out orders. I order hamburger and he does to, then we're left alone. "So, tell me about yourself." I start. Josh folds his hands on the table.
"Well as I've said, my name is Josh and I'm twenty-three. Before all of the war crap I was in Candor and transferred to Amity. Oh and I have a three year old named Jacqueline but I call her Jackie." he says. An odd part of me feels deflated.
"So you're married?" I ask. He laughs and shakes his head.
"No she's not mine. Her parents were killed in an accident last year and I was her fathers best friend and neither of them had any family that could take care of her, so I offered." he tells me. "Now your turn,"
"As you know my name is Tris, I'm twenty and I transferred to Dauntless from Abnegation. I was engaged but we broke up a couple months ago and that's prett much it." I say. Josh laughs and soon our food is placed at our table. We continue to talk only taking little bites every now and then. He offers to pay and I let him realizing I forgot my wallet. He takes me back to my apartment. He kisses my cheek quickly then runs off before I can say anything else. A blush forms on my cheeks and I walk inside.
One More Month Later
Josh and I have only gotten closer these past three weeks. I've even gotten closer to Jackie who seems to love me. I've only seen Tobias a couple times in passing by and we had acted as if we'd never met before. Everything in this past month has gotten better, even my legs. I only need my cane whenever I'm at work and constantly walking up and down stairs. I've started working as a locater for people coming from the Bureau and all around Illinois to Chicago.
"Miss Prior?" a voice comes from the front of my office. I look up and see one of the other locaters named Bridgette Dunlap. "A new employee needs Johanna Ryes and I can't find her and my pager isn't working. Would you mind?" I nod and she leaves with a smile. I dial Johanna's number and she tells me she's in the lobby. I grab my cane from where it was leaning against my desk, and head down to the lobby. Once I get down the stairs and into the lobby, I spot Johanna and another man who's back is turned to me.
"It seems Bridgette found you," I say to Johanna. She laughs a little and the man she was talking to turns and I want to scream. "Four," I say, purposefully not using his real name knowing he now hates the name Four.
"Tris," Tobias nods to me.
"I apologize, is something going on between you to?" Johanna asks. I put on a smile and face her.
"No, just a little shocked, is all." I say. The watch on my wrist beeps signalizing my lunch break. Just on time, Josh walks through the front door with Jackie in tow. My smiles widens and I walk over to kiss him. I look back to Tobias and he seems shocked.
"Want to go get some lunch?" Josh asks grabbing my hand.
"Sure," I say. Jackie removes herself from Josh's grip and lifts her arms up to me. I let go of Josh's hand and pick up the little girl.
"Hi," she grins. I smile back at her as we all walk out. Just before I'm out of the building, I give Tobias a little wave and he glares daggers at me.
A/N So I hope this was okay. And if you have any ideas whatsoever please review or PM me! PLEASE! Anyway I found out that a rather large storm is coming my way so my grandparents get to stay an extra day! YAY! That's all. Thank you for reading! Ily and DFTBA!
