Chapter 10 - Tris POV

I was sitting on my computer, typing away, when Christina opened the door and groaned dramatically. She sank into her office chair, her head tilted towards the ceiling. It had been a couple months since I visited Chicago. My father ended up as the mayor by a 16 point lead. We were all really happy for him, and he's been doing great.

"What's wrong?" I ask, knowing that's exactly what Christina's looking for to start her ranting.

"I got this stupid lawsuit. Some guy's neighbor cut down a tree that was half in his yard and half in his neighbor's yard, and the neighbor got all mad. He's complaining that the tree blocked out the sunrise in his bedroom window. Why can't the guy just get some freakin' blinds?"

"Sorry about that. Want to get a glass of wine later? I have to finish up some work, but I'll be done soon."

"I can't. I've got to research if the neighbor had the right to cut down the tree," Christina groaned.

"Right." We go back to work and I finish an hour later. I'm packing all my things into my shoulder-bag when my phone starts buzzing. I pick it up but drop it the second I see the caller ID.

"Let me guess. It's him," Christina said, not looking up from her work. "Isn't this the 27th time he's called this week? Tris just answer the phone." Tobias has been calling and texting every week, but never once have I replied. I don't even bother reading his texts or listening to the voicemails he leaves me.

"I'll call him back later," I say, like I do every single time Christina nags me about this.

"No, you won't. Tris, this happened months ago! Why can't you talk to him? Why did you run out?" Sometimes I regret ever telling people about my date with Tobias. Then again, the only person I told was Christina. I can't believe she actually kept that secret; normally Christina just blurts it out. She's not the best at keeping secrets.

"He hurt me," I say, biting my lip and blinking back tears. "I was falling for him, and he couldn't even figure out why he looked at me in the first place. I bet he's done this with tons of other girls. Just acted super nice and all so he could have a one-night stand."

"In all fairness, he wouldn't have to act super nice for that to happen," Christina said, not looking up from her work. "Tris, you can't run away from him or your feelings. You're only going to hurt yourself even more."

"I'll get over it sooner or later," I shrug, before slipping out of the office. I walk home, pulling my jacket tighter around me. When I get into my apartment, I hang my jacket up and sink onto my couch. Picking up the remote, I flick through the channels until I find CNN. I spend the rest of the night eating Chinese food take-out and watching the news.

When I wake up in the morning, I've some how managed to change out of my pajamas and gotten into bed, the night before. I take a shower and get ready for work. Christina and I have a light conversation while we do our work. Just then, there's a knock on the door and Al, one of our colleagues, pokes his head in.

"Tris, there's someone in meeting room 10. They specially requested you for this case," he says. I nod and get up.

"See you later, Chris," I say.

"I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't get as shitty a case as I did." I chuckle before letting Al lead me to the meeting room. He smiles shyly before leaving to get back to his work. I open the door and step inside to find a tall man, with dark brown hair, in a suit staring out the window. His hands are clasped tightly behind his back, and his knuckles are turning white. He must be nervous.

"Hi, there. My name's Beatrice Prior." The man turns around slowly and I gasp. I must be really unlucky, because I got a case more terrible than Christina's by a landslide. I stand there looking into a pair of blue eyes. Him.

A/N: Okay. So there's chapter 10. I wish I could than the person who recommended Tris going back to New York, but the review was left by a guest. So I didn't reach 15 favorites, but I got a bunch of followers, so thank you for that. I would like to thank everybody who's following my story. So here is a special shout-out to all MFST's followers.
