I'm back in Chicago and I haven't talked to T-Four since the photoshoot which was 3 days ago.
He's tried calling me and texting me but I don't answer.
I'm laying in bed when there's a knock on the door.
"Tris?" I hear Chris' voice
"Come in" I say
She comes in and sits on my bed
"How are you?" She asks
"I'm grand swell fantastic" I say sarcastically
"Well Fours been trying to get me to tell you to go back to him. But I didn't listen cause I know he's a cheater" she says
"Thanks Chris" I say
"You know there's plenty of fish in the sea. That is if you want to get someone else" she says
"I don't know if I want someone else but guys never learn. I think he'll do it again" I say
"Yeah probably. But I think you should talk to him. At least try and be friends" she says
"Why would he do it though? She wasn't even holding him. He told me that 'oh she was holding my wrist' when she wasn't even touching him except his lips" I say
"I don't know Tris. I wouldn't go back to him but you know you can't just kick him to the cirb out of your life" she says
I nod.
"How about we go see a movie?" She asks
"Yeah. What movie?" I ask
"How about Will Ferrells new movie with Kevin Hart 'Get Hard'?" She asks
"Yeah that sounds good" I say
We get up and she puts an arm over my shoulders
"Thank you" I say
"What are best friends for?" She asks
We get to the theater and get in line
It's our turn to go and the last person I want to see works here
Four
"Tris?" He asks
"2 for 'Get Hard'" Chris says
"Tris please come back to me" He says
I don't say anything
"Four just give us the tickets" Chris says
He sighs
"The tickets are on me. I love you Tris" He says
Neither of us say anything we just walk in and buy popcorn. We sit down and watch the movie
~ Time lapse after the movie~
"That was hilarious" Chris says through laughter
"Yeah it was" I say
"Come on let's get some ice cream at Baskin Robbins" she says
I nod and we go to the car. But Four is leaning against it
"Tris. Can we please talk?" He asks
I look at Chris and she nods
I gesture him to come over here. He walks over and Chris waits in the car.
"Tris I'm so so sorry. I love you. I need you. Please take me back" He says
"I'm sorry Four I can't. You kissed her and you know she wasn't holding you. You didn't pull away. Maybe we can be friends but we are not getting back together. Maybe if I forgive you we can. But right now you are just a friend from school in my group" I say
He sighs and looks at the ground
"You're right. I didn't pull away. For that I'm sorry. But I can't help it. I'm a guy and-" He says but I cut him off
"I don't give a shit if it's because 'you're a guy'. You were my boyfriend! I don't kiss other guys and I have plenty who want to kiss me. I'm a wanted girl by many people. I don't need you to stay alive. Maybe to be a little happier but I can live with misery. The question is. Can you?" I say
I don't let him answer nor did I want him to. It was a rhetorical question
I walk away and he grabs my wrist
He pulls me into a kiss
I immediately pull back and slap him.
"Did I not just say that we aren't together and I don't want you kissing me?!" I yell
He sighs
"Tris I need you to be happy. No I can't live with the misery but I'm gonna try my best to. I love you and always will. I will be your friend I guess. Please think about us" He says
"I don't want to think about 'us'. I want to get over you and find someone else. It won't be hard either" I say
He hugs me.
"I love you. I don't care if you're trying to hurt me with your words. I understand that I fucked up. I really want a fresh start even if it's as friends" He says
"Friends" I say
He nods and I walk to the car.
