A/N: Sorry, it's been a terribly long time since I've updated but now I'm trying to update more often (at leadt for this story). I will update my other soon as well. This is unedited, but enjoy nonetheless.

Three years ago…

She sits in her usual table in her favorite coffee shop that she goes to. It's been two months since she broke up with Four and so far, she has not been handling it so well. Like all breakups, Tris find ice-cream, junk food, and the TV very comforting. She's been buried in her bed the few months refusing to talk to anyone. It's a little frustrating, especially for Uriah. He's been trying to get her to make videos for their channel because he believes it may be therapeutic. However, all she has been doing is refusing.

Outside, the clouds are a threatening gray color and wind is starting to pick up in the air. Little droplets of water start to drop from the clouds because they are too heavy to be held up in the sky any longer. Traffic is a havoc and constant honking of cars fill the empty sound of this city.

To Tris, she finds it calming. Other people never notice the true beauty of the fall season, but her. She loves it. She lives for it.

A man, around six-feet tall notices the blonde beauty. His eyes skim over her clothed body. The tight blue jeans that really show off her nice legs, her oversized sweatshirt that belonged to her ex-boyfriend, no fiancé. He watches as her eyes quickly skim through the pages of her book.

It's been two months since the break-up with Tobias and her, and Christina practically forced her out by stealing her keys and not allowing her to come back to their apartment until she went out for at least three hours.

"You okay there? You look a little lonely." The male finally managed the courage to approach the woman.

"Uhm yeah, I'm fine." She clears her throat. "I'm sort of used to the loneliness by now, I guess."

"Rough break up?" He sits in the seat right across from where she is currently sitting.

"Yeah." She smiles at him. "How did you know?" Tris sets the book aside looks at the man in front of her.

His short blonde hair frames his face. The side of his head is slightly trimmed and the top is a tad longer. It's almost the same color as hers. but darker, more of a dirty, dark blonde. The man has dark green eyes and a slender body. She finds him a little nerdy, but in the cute and nice way.

"I've been the same path. I was the biggest oblivious idiot, she cheated on me on our six month anniversary."

She sighs. "Is it bad I can totally relate?"

He gives her a toothy smile and she notices the large dimple that appears on his left cheek when he does so.

"I'm Robert." He sticks his hand out and she reluctantly shakes it.

"Tris."

"I know. So, do you like romance novels?" He notices the book she was reading before he interrupted her.

"Yeah. It makes me feel bad of my failed love life." Tris jokes. "No, but really, I love romance novels. Usually, I'm more of the sci-fi nerd, like I absolutely love sci-fi. However, I am also all about the classical novels." She explains.

Robert smiles. "I can tell." He points to the book, 'Pride and Prejudice'.

"What about you?" She asks and takes a sip of her tea.

"This is going to sound so corny, but I love Shakespeare and like Steinbeck, I also really like Harper Lee's work."

She swears, never in a million years did she ever think she'd meet someone who loves them just as much as she does.

"No way! I don't believe you." She exclaims.

"It's true. I really like their work." Tris bites her lip and smiles. It seems so easy for them to talk together. "This has been bothering me forever, how exactly do you know me?"

"Youtube, of course. When I was in high school, I was a hardcore gamer and was also in that youtube phase. I discovered you and Uriah, and yeah." Robert scratches his neck. "I probably sound like some stalker dude."

She laughs. "Nah, you're fine. I think it's cute."

He suppresses a grin. "Call me weird, but when I saw you, I swear I thought I was going crazy."

"No, I think you're perfectly sane. It was nice meeting you. My roommate is probably going to start to worry if I don't go back home soon." She starts to pack.

"Can I have your number?" He asks. She's wary at first, mostly because she is not ready for another relationship especially so soon.

"I'm not-"

"Don't worry, judging by expression, I understand you're not looking for a relationship any time soon?"

'Is he a mind reader of something?' She thinks.

"Sure." She takes out her phone and clicks on 'add new contact', and then hands him her phone. He hands her his and they phone exchange numbers.

"I hope to see you soon, Tris." he gives her a wholehearted smile which causes her to smile back.

"Bye, Robert."

Tris leaves the café leaving the man smiling like an idiot. Maybe this is the start of something new.

Present...

October 2015

His palms are sweaty causing him to wipe them against the side of his pants.

God dammit it Zeke, why did you have to do this to me? He thinks. Maybe if his best friend didn't bring him into this position, he might actually be sane. He moved on, Tobias learned how to live without the constant heartache that he feels in his chest multiple times throughout the year. Which is a complete lie, because he actually never moved on. He doesn't know how. And seeing her again really doesn't help the situation. Never in his life did he think he would actually see the Tris Prior ever again. Seeing her, makes him do a complete double take. Tris is even more beautiful than he remembered. She matured even more if that's even possible. Her eyes glint with happiness, he noticed, whenever he sees her with her best friend. Uriah, that bastard. He can't say she doesn't get jealous seeing them together. Sure, he was perfectly fine with Uriah when two he and Tris was dating, but now...

It's the little things he noticed. The way Uriah always scoots closer to Tris everything they sit next to each other. Or maybe the way he always leans in close when she's showing him something. It drives him insane, mental even to know that Uriah is trying to get close to her.

'I need to control myself'.

After the fifteen minutes of trying to figure what to wear and what not, he finally throws on something and head down to the lobby wear Zeke should be eating breakfast.

Of course, when he goes down there, Uriah is sitting close to Tris as she reads a book. Tobias puts on a fake smile and head over to them.

"Morning." He mutters.

Tris looks as quick as she looks back down, a blush creeping up on her face.

'Was he looking at me?' She thinks.

Tobias leaves to grab a plate of breakfast, though, he doesn't ever eat it and goes back to the table they were sitting in.

"How'd you sleep?" Asks Zeke.

Terribly. "Like a baby." Tobias answers just as he puts his lips to his cup of coffee.

Tris scrunches her nose. She always hated coffee. For some odd reason, it have her headaches and stomach cramps, so she stood with tea. That way, she was still able to provide herself with caffeine in the morning as was also able to cleanse her body at the same time.

"Pride and Prejudice?" Tobias says.

"Uhm, yeah."

"Is it good?" Zeke stares at them intently at his best friend's attempt of making conversation.

"Mhm. It's my second time reading it. I saw it on my bookshelf and decided it was time to refresh my memory of the dang thing." She laughs, awkwardly.

"What's it about?"

"It's a beautiful novel about two people falling helplessly in love with each other." Like every cliché story she's ever heard. "No I'm kidding, well not really. The story is really complicated. I love it though." She doesn't really know how to explain the whole plot in a couple of sentences.

"The second time you read it? When was the first?" Maybe this conversation thing isn't really a good idea.

"About three years ago." She whispers.

"Okay..." Zeke interrupts this downfall of conversation. "Well, Four and I will be in our rooms, you can just take that upstairs with you." Zeke sets fifty dollars on the table.

"Wait, what?" Tobias grabs his plate of food and brings it with him as Zeke grabs his arm and takes him away.

"So..." Tris starts. "What were you and Zeke talking about before I got here?"

"Uhm.." Quick! Think of something, Uriah! "We were just thinking is her and I wanted to go home for the holidays." He lies.

"But it's October."

"Yeah, well, you know my mom, she always like to know things ahead of time and all." Uriah gives her a convincing smile and she nods her head.

"Okay." She continues to eat her breakfast while reading her book. "I think I just want to stay in the hotel all day. I'm feeling too lazy to do anything."

"Tris, we are in California. The state with the nicest whether throughout the year. Once we go back to Chicago, it's literally going to be hot and humid."

"But I don't wanna." She whines in a baby voice.

"Please."

"Uriah...I just want to stay here. How about tomorrow we spend time by the pool and we can go to the bar they have here at night." Tris purposes.

"I'm a hundred percent sure they don't have a bar, Tris. They don't have a pool either." Uriah points out.

"I know, so that means we can stay in our hotel rooms the whole day." Tris gleams and goes back to her book. She had recently restarted reading the book. She loves the book, don't get her wrong, but every time she looked at, it reminded her of Robert. She needs to move on, she always tells herself. Robert, god, did she love him. He was the epitome of kindness and intelligence.

"Hey, you okay?" Uriah cuts off from her thoughts.

"Yeah, sorry." Tris clears her throat. "I was just thinking about-"

"Four?"

"No. Uhm, Robert." She stands up to go back to her room. He didn't deserve to die. Robert was too good of a person. He was too damn good of a person. She misses him. But Four, she doesn't even know what to think of him anymore. He was there...and she couldn't really do anything about it. Of course, there is still a place in her heart for him, but sometimes Tris feels so...empty. A part of her believed Tobias was her true soulmate, but after Robert...

She doesn't even know anymore.

She crashes into a warm body.

"Oh my, Tris. You okay?" Tris always thought that Zeke and Uriah didn't look identical with each other, but she could tell the few physical similarities between the brothers. Not only that, the two Pedrads both have a warm heart and such a caring personality.

"Yeah, Zeke. I'm fine."

"Your crying." Tris was alway the little sister he never had. Since Uriah and Tris became friends when they younger, Zeke was always the one looking out for the two of them.

"Yeah, it's no big deal."

"Tris." Zeke looks at her expectantly.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I was thinking about Rob and I got a little emotional. I'm sorry."

"Hey, Bea. Don't be sorry, it's not your fault he's...we're here for you, okay?" Zeke brings her into a brotherly hug and she cries into his chest. "Now go back to your room and find Uriah. He'll help." Zeke knows he probably shouldn't be suggesting Tris to spend time alone with Uriah now that he knows that his brother has feelings for his best friend. But, what is he supposed to do?

"Sorry." She notices the large wet stains on his maroon t-shirt.

"Don't worry, now go." Tris wipes her eyes one last time before going back to her room.

Do you ever get the feeling of wanting to cry for no apparent reason? To just let the tears that have gathered up in your eyes to just...fall?

She goes through the pictures of her and Robert. The first picture is of her lying in bed asleep in the background while Robert makes a silly face. The next one is of her just woken up yelling at Robert to put her phone away. Tris buries herself into a burrito in her bed as she lets the tears fall rapidly down her cheeks.

She dials a number. "Hey, this is Robert Black and Tris here...say hi Tris."

"No! Now, go away!" She hears herself in the background.

"Anyways, I'm probably busy, so please leave me a message and I'll get back to you. Bye!"

It's nice hearing his voice again. After six months, she needs some sort of closure. Right? Right?

"So I did some research and found this really cool bar across the hotel and I was- oh shit. Oh jeez, Tris." Uriah runs over to Tris' bedside and rubs her arm. "It's going to be okay. Just let it all out. We're going to get through this together, okay?" Uriah strokes her head as a form of comfort for her.

After her tears run dry and there are no more left to fall, Tris sits up and leans her body against Uriah. He can't help but feel his chest flip at the gesture.

"I'm sorry." She sniffs.

"It's fine." He lets her warmth consume his body and tightens his grip around her.

She doesn't feel the same way, though. Even he knows that, but it's hard to get over your first love especially when you've loved them for almost ten years.

"You need to be strong, especially for Robert. He'd want you to be strong. Do it for him, okay? Please?" His voice wavers as he says this. How is he supposed to tell her that he still has feelings for her. Especially now. He was planning to tell her right after breakfast, but after this little episode, he can't really now.

"Okay." Tris says after a while. "Hey," she sniffs. "So I was doing some research, and I think I want to pay a visit to the Hollywood Wax Museum." She rolls her body off the bed and reaches for her laptop, as if she didn't just cry for the last half an hour.

Her nonchalance about the whole situation frustrates Uriah and all he wants to do is yell, scream, do something, but he stays silent.

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea."

"I can call a Anthony, it'll be fun to hang out with them." She says and dials his number.

"This is Anthony's phone, who may I be speaking to?" A voice answers from the other line.

"What's up, Ian? It's Tris. I was going to ask loverboy next to you, I'm assuming, but are you guess free today?" She asks.

"When?"

"Like right now."

"Yeah. Hey Anthony, do you want to hang out with Tris and possibly Uriah?" Tris hears Ian says.

"Hey, look guys, Tris just called." Anthony says as Tris puts the phone on speaker.

"Sorry Anthony's taking to the camera, we're doing a video right now." Ian informs her.

"Oh nice. Yeah, I was planning to go to the wax museum and I was wondering if you guys want to come with us. It's going to be the four of us, unless you want to bring someone along."

"Nah, it'll be nice just the four of us. Should we pick you two up from the hotel you're staying in?" He asks.

"Would cause trouble?"

"No, don't worry. We're on our way right now. We'll see you in like twenty minutes depending on traffic." Ian states.

"Thank you so much, I'll see you soon."

"Bye Tris!" Anthony calls out.

It take Anthony and Ian half an hour to drive up to their hotel. Tris receives a text message from one of the boys to downstairs to the lobby.

"Hey guys." She hugs both the boys as soon as she seems them. Uriah stands behind her as she greets the men.

"Say hi to our fans, Tris." Anthony angles the camera he is holding to tape her face.

"Hi." She smiles and waves.

"So tell our lovely fans where we are going today, Uriah." Anthony says.

"We are going to the Hollywood Wax Museum to meet all our favorite celebrities. I'm probably looking forward to meeting myself because I'm obviously super famous and well known around the world." Uriah flaunts.

"Keep dreaming, hun." Tris pats Uriah on the shoulder.

After forty-five minutes of being stuck in the LA traffic, about fifteen wrong turns and getting lost a few times (by few, I mean seven times), the four of them finally found their destination.

"Tris. Would you rather kiss a baby dolphin or go snorkeling with little elephants, assuming they can swim and breath underwater?"

"Snorkeling with little elephants." Tris immediately replies. Then she turns to Ian and questions, "Ian, would you rather be pricked by a spindle and fall into your own tragic death or full on make out with Grumpy with tongue, from Snow White?"

"Messed up mind, Tris."

"Look who's talking." Tris shot back.

"Oh shush. Okay, hmm, that's a hard one. I'd rather make out with Grumpy, because as far as I know, I personally want to live an awesome life, being the awesome person I am."

"Dude, Ian, that spot's already taken." Uriah piped up.

"By who?"

"By the fabulous me!" Uriah said, giving out air kisses.

"Uh huh, sure. Comment down below who is better. Me or Uriah, I honestly believe that Uriah is not as awesome as me. I mean, can you resist me?" Tris says, flipping her hair, then turning back to the boys and rolling her eyes as the boys debate over themselves (in loud voices, may she add)

After purchasing their entry tickets, the four of them walk through each room. The wax figures start off with the past and present presidents of the United States. Being the oblivious person Tris is, she doesn't notice the way Uriah stands a little too close to her. He's so close, he can smell the shampoo of coconut and pineapples in her hair. As creepy as it may seem, he relishes this feeling that flutters within him.

"Look!" Tris accidentally smacks Uriah on the face. "It's Jack Black. Uri, can you take a picture of me and him for me, please?"

"Of course." Tris hands him her phone as she makes a silly pose. This results in a light chuckle that comes from Uriah.

"I wonder if the wax figures have butt cracks." She hears Ian from behind. "Is it possible to pants the figures?"

Ian says this a little too loudly which causes several heads to turn in their direction.

"What?"

A few teenage girls around the age of thirteen, recognizes the four adults and start hyperventilating.

"It is them! I told you I thought they seemed familiar!" Uriah and Tris turn around in synchrony as see a group of five girls staring at them in awe. Tris smiles Ç\and waves lightly as well as Uriah. He gives them a heart-warming smile that would make any girl swoon- all but Tris, ironically.

"Hiya!" Tris greets the girls.

"You're Smosh and Dauntless Duo. Oh my gosh, this is so exciting. I can't believe we are actually meeting the four of you in person." One of them says with a huge smile on her face.

"What's your name's?" Anthony asks. "You want to be on a vlog?"

"Oh my gosh yes!" Another exclaims.

"I'm Haley, that's Samantha, she's Jordi, and she is Carter." They smile.

Tris asks one of the workers if they can take a picture for the girls. They do this for another four times since they're five girls with phones and they all want their personal pictures.

"Thank you so much! This really means alot to us." One of the girls- Carter tells them.

"Of course. We love meeting new fans. Have a nice day." Uriah waves at the girls as they finish walking through the museum.

Not so long after the girls leave, Tris receives a phone call. She feels the rectangular device vibrate in her pocket a few times before actually taking it out. She presses the answer- green circular button.

"Hello?" She says into the phone, not bothering to check the called ID.

"Beatrice." A voice sighs.

"Caleb? What's up? Is something wrong? Is Susan pregnant again?" She asks, frantically.

"What no!" Caleb exclaims. "Susan and I were wondering if you'd like to come and visit for the holidays." After Caleb's and Susan's wedding two years ago, they decided to move to New York.

"Oh." Tris signs in relief. "Thank God there's not another baby." Tris pictured Caleb blushing, and smiled. "Oh yeah, sure. When do you want me to fly in?"

"Um, you can come three days before Christmas, if that's alright."

"Okay sure."

Christmas is not for another two months, so she doesn't really understand why Caleb would ask her so early. But then again, Caleb was always the type of person to do something on an early hand, so it shouldn't surprise too much when he calls her extremely early.

"Yeah of course. I'll see you in a few months then." She says over the phone.

"Yeah, bye Sis. I love you."

"Love you too Caleb. Tell Arianna that her auntie says hi."

"Will do." Tris' little niece is a year old. She's the perfect mixture of Caleb and Susan. What perplexes Tris the most is that Arianna even has a little of Tris in her as well. She has the same long nose and almost the same shade of eyes, but just a tad darker.

After hanging up she hears Uriah ask, "who was that?" He sounded weird, and had an emotion in his voice that Tris couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Caleb." It had been as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He cannot be jealous. Gosh, this is so damn difficult.

"Oh." Tris gives him a strange look. It's not usual for Uriah to show emotion for her. He's so good at it especially since he's been doing it for over a decade.

"What did he want?"

"He was just wondering if I'd fly in for Christmas."

"Oh that's nice."

They finally reach the end of the museum and purchase a few souvenirs at the gift shop. The drive back to the hotel isn't as bad as it was to get to the museum. The four internet entertainers spent their whole back singing songs, loudly and extremely off pitch per say, along with the radio.

"Thanks, guys. Uriah and I had so much fun today. Thanks for the ride."

"No problem Tris. We hope you visit us again or Ian and I can pay a visit to Chicago sometime soon." Anthony waves.

"You better." Uriah smiles. "We'll see you."

After the two boys leave, Uriah texts Zeke that they just arrived back to the hotel.

'Stoppp bi hour room, k?' Zeke texts back.

"Fuck." Uriah says under his breath.

"What?" Tris looks at him with concern seeping through her expression.

"I think Zeke's drunk. I'm going to check on him and make sure he's okay."

"Okay, I'll come with you." After learning that Zeke's possibly drunk, it doesn't hit Tris too well. Tris doesn't do too well with alcohol, especially since the reason Tobias and her broke up was because he got drunk and cheated on her. What doesn't help Tris is that Tobias is her on this trip as well.

The walk to their hotel room is quiet and awkward, at least for Tris.

'Why did I agree to do this again?' She thinks to herself.

Uriah knocks on his brother's door and waits a few seconds before it swings wide open revealing a totally boozed Zeke.

"Oh what am I going to do with you, Zeke?" Uriah sighs.

"What's up brotha?" Zeke slurs.

"Okay, We're going to get you to bed. Where's Four?"

"I don't know! Somewhere..." It's really hard to understand Zeke.

"Okay, well I'm glad that you're okay Zeke. I'm going to head back to our room now." Tris slowly walks out of the room. But of course Tris always has the perfect timing and crashes into Tobias.

"Fuck." She curses under her breath.

"Shit. I'm sorry." A light blush rises onto her cheeks.

"No, it's fine. I should have been watching where I was going." She notices that he is eating a donut. "Zeke's boozed, so Uriah is trying to tuck him into bed." She tells him as she keeps her gaze focused on the floor.

"Of course. I'll go make sure he's okay." Tris licks her now dried lips.

"Okay cool." Tobias stares at her soft, plump lips hoping that he could just pin her against the wall behind her and kiss her dry.

"Okay, I'm going to go now." She starts to walk away, but Tobias stops her.

"Tris, wait. I know what I did was totally unforgivable and incredibly stupid, but it's what I think about every night before I go to bed. I wish I could go back in time and redo everything, but I can't. And I really miss you, but I know that we're probably not going to be anything anymore, so I was wondering if you'd still like to be friends. I know this is probably a low blow and-"

"Just stop talking, please." He immediately shuts up. "I think I'd like that, but I still need time to process everything. You can't just randomly come back into my life and assume everything will be back to normal. Sorry, that sounded really harsh. But the point is, I'd really like that, but not now. Maybe...soon. I don't know. I have to go, bye." She rushes back to her room and breaks down.

She hates this. She hates that Rob died, she hates that she left Four. She hates everything, every damn thing that she seems to upset her so easily.

Life is so hard, but it's going to get a lot more complicated. Especially for her.
