Chapter 8

"Tris?"
James' voice woke me from a dreamless sleep. "Tris, you need to make a new video."

I groaned and grabbed my phone but he slapped my hand away. "You're not going to postpone another video tris." He said. "It's been two weeks. You need to get over him."

Although all I wanted to do was crawl up in a ball of self pity, I knew I did eventually have to get over the fact we weren't meant to be. I still didn't know who the boy in the picture was but he's posted four more of them. It felt as if he was doing it on purpose to get back at me. Every time I post a picture of me and Ryan, he posts one of him and that guy.

Me and Ryan announced we were together the day after the article about Brad and I was released. Quite a lot of articles were written saying I was 'using Ryan in spite of Brad and I breaking up' when the truth was, I was practically with Ryan before I even met Brad. I hadn't been on social media all week because everywhere I went, there was 'Tradley proof' or people's theories.
"Tris." James bitter tone snapped me out if my thoughts.
"I'm getting up Jesus."

"My names James but whatever." He said walking out.
I sat up and rubbed my hands over my foggy eyes. I swung my legs over the side of my bed and wearily pulled myself up. Walking into the kitchen I saw James leant again the counter with a slice of toast held in one hand, the other occupied by his phone.

"Why are you here?" I asked huskily.

"To wake you up. Oh and I ran out of bread and wanted toast. I'll stop by tomorrow. I expect a video by six tonight. That gives you..." He looked up at the clock. "Nine hours." He said and walked out. A few seconds later I heard the door shut and I let out a groan, undecided on whether to go back to bed or actually do my job. I obviously chose the second option because I need money to survive.

I dragged my feet across the hall to the bathroom and got ready. (Yet again I won't bore you.)

Once I had got out the bathroom I sat down in my room and turned my camera on.

"Hey guys it's Tris and this is basically just going to be a video where I explain what has happened from the moment I met Brad to now. Ok so it started when I bumped into him and you guys fell in lo-"
I was interrupted by a knock on my front door. I left my camera rolling and got up to answer the door.

"Um. We uh need to talk Tris."
