Tristan POV
On Friday night around 10 PM I was doing homework that was assigned before break. At about 11:30 PM I finished. I walked over to my bed and sat down. I turned my phone on and then opened FaceRange. I looked at all of the new posts from the people I follow. When I was scrolling through them, I saw a picture of Miles and some girl making out.
"Seriously..?" I said under my breath
I started crying and buried myself under the covers.
I woke up around 11 AM. I looked at my phone and saw that I had 2 missed calls and 3 texts from Miles. I threw my phone on the ground and then tried to go back to sleep.
Around 1 PM, I woke up from my nap because somebody was knocking on the door. I went downstairs and opened the front door. Miles was there.
"What?" I asked, sounding pissed
"Why are you mad?" He asked
"I'm not mad. I'm pissed."
"Why?"
"Because of you."
"What did I do?"
"I'm not surprised that you can't remember." I said while grabbing my phone out of my pocket and showing him the picture
Then I shut the door and went into the kitchen. I got a piece of bread out of the cabinet and put it in the toaster. When it popped out I got a butterknife and put some butter on it. I ate the toast and then called Zoë.
"Hey, Tris." She said
"Hi. Wanna hang out?"
"Sure, be at your place in 30."
"Seeya." I said
"Seeya." She said
Then she hung up. I waited in the living room and then she knocked on the door. I answered and then she asked "Ready?"
"Yup." I replied
"Did something happen between you and this guy? Because you don't look as happy as you were the other day." Zoë asked
I waited a few minutes and then said "He got drunk.. and cheated on me.."
"Oh, Tris.. I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
On Monday at lunch, Zoë and I sat at a table together.
"Tris, why aren't you eating?" She asked
I shrugged and then said "Not hungry."
Then Miles walked over.
"Tris, can I please talk to you?" He asked
"No." I said, not looking up at him
"Please, Tris."
"Miles, No."
"I'm sorry, I was drunk.."
"I know, Miles."
"Okay.." Miles mumbled while walking away
"Wait.. So Miles is the mystery guy?" Zoë asked
"Yeah."
After school, I was at my locker getting my books that I needed for homework. Right when I was about to go Miles came up behind me.
"Tris, can I please just talk to you?"
"Fine. You have 10 seconds."
"I know it was wrong and that I don't deserve to be forgiven." Miles said
"9."
"But I just want a second chance."
"8."
"I'll do anything. I know I've messed up a lot with my past relationships."
"7."
"But I can't lose you."
"6."
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"5."
"I don't deserve you and I will probably mess up a lot."
"4."
"But I'm willing to change.."
"3."
"For you.."
"2."
"And I.."
"1. God, I don't know how I'm supposed to ignore you.. You're so cute." I said before kissing him
"So does that mean I have a second chance?"
"Yeah. Don't blow it."
Then we started making out.
"Someone's gonna see us.." I said between kisses
"I don't care."
We made out for a few more minutes and then we heard a familiar voice.
"Miles?"
We stopped kissing and turned around.
"Maya?" I asked
"Why are you kissing Miles?"
"Because he's my boyfriend. Duh."
"But Miles isn't gay.." Maya said
"I'm bi." Miles said
"So.. You two are together now?" Maya asked
"Yeah." Miles and I said in unison
"Since when?"
"The thunderstorm." I said
"Oh.. Okay.."
Around 9 PM, I got a call from Miles.
"Hey." Miles said
"Hi.." I said
"Everything okay? You sound different."
"Yeah. Just tired."
"I can go if you want."
"No, it's fine.. Can I ask you something?" I said
"Anything."
"Why are you dating me?"
"Because you make me happy and I like you.."
"How can you like me? I'm fat and ugly."
"No you're not, Tris. Why would you say that?"
"Never.. Never mind.. I'm gonna go.. Bye."
"Bye.." Miles said
Then I hung up and went to sleep.
I woke up at 7:30 to the sound of my alarm clock. I took a shower and then got dressed. I went downstairs and opened the fridge. I shut it a minute later.
Coward. You can't even eat without being scared.
I ran outside and walked to school
"Wanna have lunch together?" Miles asked as we walked to the cafeteria
"Oh, uh.. Sure.."
Once we got to the cafeteria, we got our food and then sat at a table. Most of the time, I just sat there poking at my salad with a fork.
"Tris, are you okay?" He asked
"Yeah.."
"Sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine." I snapped
"Sorry.."
We sat there for a few more minutes and then I started talking.
"I'm.. I'm sorry Miles.."
"It's fine."
