Chapter #8:Comfort Food
Tris POV
I have a million questions in my head that I want answers for. Why didn't he tell me?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, like I don't know, maybe our first date?" I blurt out. He looks guilty down at his hands.
"We are both so young, I thought that you wouldn't want the responsibility of dating someone with a kid" He looks a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Its actually really cute.
"Is that what you think of me; someone that wont date someone with a child" I question.
"I don't know i'm sorry, I was going to tell you but I wanted us to get to know each other more" He has a point.
"I love kids, I wish you would have told me" I look up at the ceiling. "Look i'm okay with you having a kid but you failing to tell me is what really bugs me" I start to get angry.
"I messed up i-" I interrupt him before he can finish.
"I need to go" I hold my hands up as if stop him from following me. I grab my bag and walk out of the restaurant leaving Elliot behind.
The walk back to the apartment was 20 minutes, since I didn't let Elliot drive me home. When I get home I drop my bag on the kitchen counter and head into my bedroom, I decide I need girl talk and call up Christina.
"Hey Christina" I say once she picks up.
"Hey I thought you were on a date with Elliot" She sounds worried.
"Thats what I want to talk about. Can you come over?" I ask, i'm desperate for a friendly face.
"Sure be there as fast as I can" I hangup and change into comfy clothes; black leggings, a brown tee and a giant beige cardigan and a deep brown with some orange infinity scarf. Once I'm changed I jump into bed and wait for Christina. I text Christina telling her to just come to my bedroom without knocking because I don't want to leave my bed. I pout just thinking about leaving this warm heaven.
I hear my bedroom door open and Christina's head pops through the crack.
"Hey sweetie, whats wrong?" She asks while snuggles in bed with me.
"Don't wanna talk" I mumble into my blanket.
"I brought food" My head instantly pops up from the blanket and I see Chris holding a McDonald's bag. I grab it.
"Oh my god, I love you" I pull out a big mac from the bag and dig in, eating the whole thing in like 5 minutes.
"So what happened with Elliot. I thought you guys went to get dinner but your ate that big mac like you haven't eaten anything in like 10 days" Chris asks when I finished my big mac and i'm now working on the fries.
"Elliot has a child and failed to tell me" I blurt out all at once. Christina start choking on the food she's eating.
"What?!" She screams. I just nod my head agreeing with her emotion.
"Four saw him with his daughter at Playdium Arcade's when he was baby sitting Lily's niece. He thought I already knew, can you believe that" I begin to get angry "I'm so mad at Elliot for not telling me! I thought he was different" I let out a huff then pull the blankets over me again. Trying to hide from the world.
"It's okay, do you think Four told you so you wouldn't go out with him again?" She asks.
"No, like I told you he thought I already knew" How embarrassing. For the next little while Christina and I just talk about random things to get my mind off things.
"What do I do?" I ask once we finally come back to the whole Elliot thing.
"I don't know, I think you should give him another chance. It was a little white lie, everyone tells them once and a while" She gives me a small smile.
"True, what happens if I can't handle dating him with or without a child? What about the child's mother?" I start to get nervous. Could I be a step-parent?
"Don't worry so much. I'm sure that the mother isn't in the picture if he was dating you"
"Good point" I give her a smile. I can do this.
"Maybe you could get a journal and write everything you feel down?" She suggests.
"Thats a great idea.. Thanks for being there for me" I give Christina a hug.
"No problem, what are best friends for" We both smile at each other. I hear my phone ring again. Its been ringing every couple of minutes for the past hour.
"Maybe you should get that" Christina says pointing to my phone, I nod my head. I see 3 unread messages from Elliot.
"I know I messed up, i'm sorry"-Elliot (8:39)
"I hope you can forgive me because I really like you company"-Elliot (8:31)
"Do you wanna meet up and talk"-Elliot (8:45)
I decide to text him back.
"I'm sorry for the way I walked out on you. I'm the one that should beg for forgiveness. I would love to meet up sometime"-Tris (8:48)
"I'm the one that should be sorry. Anyway lets move on, do you wanna meet sometime later this week?"-Elliot (8:51)
"Yeah sure"-Tris (8:52)
"Great see you soon"-Elliot (8:53)
"See you soon"-Tris (8:54)
For the rest of the night Christina and I watch classic chick flick's movies and eat candy. I ask her to have a sleepover like old times, we laugh and giggle until we both fall asleep and I dream of deep blue eyes. Four's or Elliot's, I don't know.
