Chapter 24 ~ Tris

This chapter is nice in length. I think you all deserve it, based on my inactivity for these past weeks.
Enjoy this!

"Four?" I splutter, glaring at George. "You assigned me to Four?"
It's been months since I left the hospital.
I've changed. I've become a model and actress for Amar's company. I model for stores and I've acted in some movies.
I've changed. I've realized Tobias isn't the one for me. I've built a bridge over him and climbed it.
"I'm sorry, Tris," sighs George. "I told them, but Amar specifically requested you, hearing about your abilities.
I scoff, then defeatedly sigh. I haven't seen Tobias for months. I haven't seen Christina either, she and Tobias had just vanished into their own fairytale land.
Not that I minded. I was in deep love already, with an actor I met on a set, Gale Hawthorne.
"We're bringing you into a room to test your chemistry."
"I need to call Gale first," I mutter. "Need to talk to him."
When George lets me, I step aside, and dial Gale's number from memory.
"Gale," I whisper into the phone. My voice catches, and being the noticing boy he is, asks me about it.
"I'm working with Four."
That's all I need to say, and Gale knows.
"Just know, Trissypoo," Gale's voice on the other end reassures me. "Just know, I will support you."
"Thank you," I smile through my tears.
In the background, I hear someone yell Gale's name.
"Gotta go," he hurriedly mutters. "We're filming."
I walk back to George and tuck my phone into my purse.
"Tell Amar to call me Six," I instruct him. George nods, not questioning my strange orders.
"Get to Portia," George shoves me towards my stylist.
Portia has been my stylist ever since my first trip to New York City.
She's been a friend to me, and of course a better shopping partner than Christina.
I push open the door to the trailer, and sit myself in my chair.
"Portia," I call. "I need to be styled for a chemistry session with my newest co-worker."
Portia approaches the room, and immediately sighs, twiddling with a magazine in her hands. "You should see this."
She timidly holds it out to me, and I accept it.
"Page 32. Star Magazine."
While Portia starts to straighten my hair, I flip to the page that she instructed me to.
"Gale Hawthorne caught kissing Madge Undersee," I read aloud, desperately turning to Portia. "Please tell me this is fake."
With a look of sympathy etched in her face, she shakes her head at me. "Real."
I had only talked to him a few minutes ago. My heart tore into shreds, for the second time this year.
"Make me beautiful," I command, immediately wishing to forget about Gale.
Because of my ability to hide my feelings, I do.
"You look hot," Portia comments as she finishes. "Make Gale regret it."
As I step out of my trailers, paparazzi people are at my trailer. I smile at the cameras, telling them to tell Gale that I'm done with him because of cheating.
They're all here to discuss the Gale's cheating, and I tell them everything, and his one small secret.
"Oh and by the way, he used to like Katniss Everdeen," I announce, before slamming the door behind me in true Tris fashion.
I walk straight into D10, the room George told me to meet him.
Four, standing, is looking down at the floor, and I smirk at him as I step into the room.
Right now it's just me and him. Forget all the crew and cast surrounding us.
It's just me and Four.
"Hey babe," I whisper into his ear, making the hair rise on his neck. I smirk. "Miss me?"
He seems slightly shocked for a second, before regaining himself. "Yes, I did." His voice is husky and masculine.
And then I feel his arm wrapped around my neck, and his soft lips on mine.
And then I realize. I've missed this. I've missed Four. I walk over the bridge I built, back to where Tobias Eaton is waiting for me.

Awww these two kill me!
That's right, FourTris is back!
So pull away those butter knives and hate to me.
QOTC: What were your feelings for this chapter?
Me: I'm the author, can't really judge my own writing.
