Second Chance

Chapter 16

              We then hung up. I know what was bothering her. I just need time to do something before her wish comes true.

*Tris's POV*

The break has been a blast. It's still not over yet. I know my friends are having a fun time. They love it here. Mostly, they love Granny's Cafe. I know they would love it there. They are also trying to figure out who the shadow man is. It's something I must say.

Since this break began, four of us have been in contact daily through text or call. Most of the time, it's talking on the phone. I won't lie. Those moments are the things I look forward to in my day.

Today we are all going shopping for gifts and everything. This is going to be interesting. I have a longer list to buy for. So, I should get started. We were in a small shop. I was looking at a few items. Chris was beside me.

"So, even if he's not here. Are you still buying Four a gift?" She asked me.

"Yes. I can give it to him when we get back to school." I told her.

"Oh, how sweet. What if Four doesn't get you something?" She asked me.

"I don't care." I told her.

"That the Abnegation in you." She told me. We then started to laugh.

I walked away to look more into the store. I then heard my phone buzzed. I went searching in my purse. I finally found it. I looked at it to see Four was calling me. I couldn't help but smile. Speak of the devil.

"Hey, Four." I said when I answered.

"Hey, you. What's going on?" He asked me.

"You know, Christmas shopping with our hellion friends." I told him.

I heard him laughing at my comment. He then said,

"Oh, that is so much fun. Hope they are not causing too much trouble." He told me.

I snickered a little bit at his comment. I then said,

"Surprisely, they are behaving. But I think I may fear what they are buying."

"I know I would. These are Dauntless. Never good." He told me.

"So, what's going on with you?" I asked him.

"You know, enjoying winter break. But feel like something is missing." He told me.

"Really? What's missing?" I asked him.

He didn't answer right away. He must be thinking about his answer. I could hear him breathing on the other line. He then said,

"You."

I now know my cheeks are turning hot, and I have a massive grin. He misses me. I then said,

"I miss you too. But I will have a gift to give you when we see each other again." I told him truthfully.

"Okay. I have one for you too." He told me.

I could see everyone getting ready to leave. I was all right with it. I was done looking in this store anyway. I got what I wanted. I then headed to the front desk to check out. I then said,

"Okay then. So, we will exchange when we get back to school."

"Yeah. When we see each other again." He told me.
