Thank you for all the support everyone. I have decided that I will upload this story every week on Tuesday so stay tuned to see future chapters. Here's the new chapter. Please review, I love to read what you think or my story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent trilogy or any characters mentioned here.
It's been a month since I have been in Chicago and it has been a crazy experience for me. I love the job I have in the company Abnegation Industries and am pleased to say I have really nice colleagues. Living with Christina is not foreign to me although she is not keeping me as much company nowadays being way too captivated with her new boyfriend Will who she met at a coffee shop in our neighborhood. I have to say I was surprised when I first met Will though because he was nothing like the usual boyfriend for Christina, he is actually an introvert who would rather read a book than talk about himself which is totally the opposite of Christina but I guess it makes sense because opposites attract. Uriah's pretty hard to find too these days because he seems just as fascinated by Marlene, Shauna's sister Lynn's best friend as Christina is with Will. I find it really weird considering how Uriah was always a real charmer in college but ever since he laid his eyes on Marlene he has been a stuttering mess and is actively pursuing her so that she agrees on a date. I have been finding myself becoming closer to Marlene, Lynn, Shauna, Zeke and Will over the past month.
Ever since that incident at Hana's house I have been avoiding Four trying to give him the space he needs to sort out his feelings on this matter. It's been one month since that soul mate incident and literally on the first day of the next month I try to actively seek him out trying to talk to him. I get the perfect opportunity when I see him in Café Divergent sipping his coffee and working on some of his blueprints and on his laptop but as soon as he sees me he shuts his laptop down, takes all his blueprints and literally runs out of the café, and my short legs cannot keep up with his long sprints. That is when I realize that it isn't just me who has been avoiding him because he has been avoiding me too the entire past month. We have a lot of the same friends and live in the same neighborhood (Zeke told me) and go to the same gym (Dauntless gym, the one where Shauna is the manager) so there is no way we would not have met in the past month.
So I keep trying but it has been two weeks now and Christina seems to be working all the time on some big fashion project her company has and I barely see her, Uriah's out of town for a big company meeting and Four has been avoiding me like the plague, and I am just so lonely so done with it all.
I do the next best thing and ask Zeke casually one day, "Have you seen four around?"
"He has been busy with some big project that he is leading and I rarely see him these days", he says a little too quickly and I know he is lying. I pointedly glare at him indicating I caught onto his lie.
"Okay! Sorry but yeah I tried talking to him on this but he is pretty stubborn and I can't do anything about it."
"I left him alone like Uriah told me to."
"Yeah so go talk to him if you want then."
"How should I when all your best friend wants is to play this one-sided hide-and-seek game and runs out whenever I go to talk to him."
Zeke stays silent and then shrugs saying "I really want the both of you to sort out this problem but I can't interfere here."
I leave him alone saying that maybe I just have to try walking around my neighborhood hoping I bump into Four again but Zeke says, "He is coming around my apartment today later maybe you can catch him on his way out."
