As soon as I made sure that one of my staff was looking after Vicky, I sprinted down the hallway to Christina's place. I was about to head straight in because I know she doesn't lock the door but then I remembered that she doesn't know who I am. I knock a few times before she answers the door
"Hello…Seven?" She asked sleepy and I just come in without asking and seat myself down on her couch "Ahh can I help you?"
"Chris, it's me?" she still looks at me confused so I show her my tattoo of the birds. I look up and see that she is just standing there with her mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"Tris?"
"I'm back" I say simply with a sad smile. After staring at me for what seemed like forever, a high pitch squeal met my ears before she engulfed me in a suffocating hug.
"…Chris…" I mange to choke out, she takes a minute before releasing me.
"How could you just leave and why didn't you tell me sooner that you were Seven and did I mention alive. Everyone here thought you were dead, I don't think I have been so sad in my life when I read the note you left him… except Zeke, he seemed pretty confident that you were alive and would come back to us." I try to hide my smirk and I obviously failed. Christina notices and questions me about it so I told her everything.
Catching Four cheating on me, leaving the note and why I wrote the note the way I did. My run in with Four and Zeke and how I kept in contact as he requested so that he wouldn't be insane like the rest. How I become a famous pop star so that if I wanted to come back then I wouldn't be recognized as Tris but as Seven.
After I finished, we just sat there for what seemed like forever in silence, before she burst in to something similar to a hungry tiger. I knew that I was going to get an earful but I didn't expect this. Christina was yelling about how could I not tell her that I was leaving and more importantly ALIVE. Why didn't I leave her a note to tell her or something and she wouldn't have shown the rest if I didn't want her to and so on for the next 5 minutes or so.
"So are you done ranting yet?" I questioned after she flopped herself back down on the couch next to me
"Yeah I think so… do you want to play a game of truth or dare, to welcome you back"
"Christina I'm not staying here permanently, I am only here for my tour then I am going back to my life outside the wall"
"But what about Four? What about your friends?"
"What about Four? I'm not with him anymore. And what about my friends? I have plenty back home and you" I smile sadly
"But what about Uriah and Will and everyone? They deserve to know that you are here and AALLIIVVEE"
"What's with everyone and me being alive? First Four saying that he thought I was dead and know you keep saying alive every time you speak"
"Well I am just glad that you are alive"
"CHRSITINA"
"Ok, ok, I'll stop saying alive" while putting her hands up in mock surrender "Wait… you talked to Four?" I wondered how long it was going to be before she questioned me on that
"I'll tell you after you tell me what went on here while I was away…"I could she was about to deny it but I cut her off "… and don't say nothing did because it is pretty obvious that something did"
"Ok fine. When you left the whole place was searching for you, we literally checked everywhere, even the chasm, it was about 2 days after you left that I found it. On one of my searches near the chasm, just in case what we all suspected about the note to be true. I found part of your t-shirt with your name on it, caught on a bit of rock. After we had found the t-shirt that the piece had come from, we held a funeral. Everyone showed up except Four, later when I went looking for him, I looked everywhere for hours but I found him in the last place I expected. Four was in your apartment, curled up on one of your jackets on top of your bed, he was crying while mumbling that he was sorry and please let him explain, turns out that he didn't want to cheat on you but he was forced because otherwise they would kill you, and before you saying anything, we all know you can take care of yourself but look at it from his perspective, they could put something in your food, drug you or when you are going for a walk by yourself they could gang up on you and throw you into the chasm…"
"How do you know that? He was probably lying…" I cut her off but she cut me off before I could finish
"He wasn't, we looked at the footage of him, when he was on his way to see you, they ganged up on him and they gave him couple of 'options'. They kill you then take him prisoner or he "cheat" on you and then he has to tell you and they would leave you alone. After we had heard all of that, everyone except Zeke" she gave me a glare as she said his name "came up with a theory that they had forced you to write that note then thrown you into the chasm"
It took a minute for me to process it all. Tobias wasn't actually cheating on me, he was trying to protect me… I think but the image of him is still floating around in my mind and even if he was just trying to protect me…
"Chris, what happened to those people that threatened me?" I asked suspiciously
"They just disappeared. Why?"
"No reason. I…I have to go. I'll see ya tomorrow"
I ran back to my apartment as fast as I could, I can't believe that I didn't think of this before.

Ohhh I wonder what she figured out. I hope that when I do reveal what she had figured out that you understand it because I am still trying to figure out how to word it. But if you do have any questions then feel free to ask.
