Finding Home

Part Five

A/N: Sorry it's been terribly long since I've updated this story. I've been really lazy these days and busy as well. This is unedited, but I hope you enjoy this chapter nonetheless. I promise to update my other story It's Complicated real soon.

Three years ago...

She sits in her usual table in her favorite coffee shop that she goes to. It's been two months since she broke up with Four and so far, she has not been handling it so well. Like all breakups, Tris find ice-cream, junk food, and the TV very comforting. She's been buried in her bed the few months refusing to talk to anyone. It's a little frustrating, especially for Uriah. He's been trying to get her to make videos for their channel because he believes it may be therapeutic. However, all she has been doing is refusing.

Outside, the clouds are a threatening gray color and wind is starting to pick up in the air. Little droplets of water start to drop from the clouds because they are too heavy to be held up in the sky any longer. Traffic is a havoc and constant honking of cars fill the empty sound of this city.

To Tris, she finds it calming. Other people never notice the true beauty of the fall season, but her. She loves it. She lives for it.

A man, around six-feet tall notices the blonde beauty. His eyes skim over her clothed body. The tight blue jeans that really show off her nice legs, her oversized sweatshirt that belonged to her ex-boyfriend, no fiancé. He watches as her eyes quickly skim through the pages of her book.

It's been two months since the break-up with Tobias and her, and Christina practically forced her out by stealing her keys and not allowing her to come back to their apartment until she went out for at least three hours.

"You okay there? You look a little lonely." The male finally managed the courage to approach the woman.

"Uhm yeah, I'm fine." She clears her throat. "I'm sort of used to the loneliness by now, I guess."

"Rough break up?" He sits in the seat right across from where she is currently sitting.

"Yeah." She smiles at him. "How did you know?" Tris sets the book aside looks at the man in front of her.

His short blonde hair frames his face. The side of his head is slightly trimmed and the top is a tad longer. It's almost the same color as hers. but darker, more of a dirty, dark blonde. The man has dark green eyes and a slender body. She finds him a little nerdy, but in the cute and nice way.

"I've been the same path. I was the biggest oblivious idiot, she cheated on me on our six month anniversary."

She sighs. "Is it bad I can totally relate?"

He gives her a toothy smile and she notices the large dimple that appears on his left cheek when he does so.

"I'm Robert." He sticks his hand out and she reluctantly shakes it.

"Tris."

"I know. So, do you like romance novels?" He notices the book she was reading before he interrupted her.

"Yeah. It makes me feel bad of my failed love life." Tris jokes. "No, but really, I love romance novels. Usually, I'm more of the sci-fi nerd, like I absolutely love sci-fi. However, I am also all about the classical novels." She explains.

Robert smiles. "I can tell." He points to the book, 'Pride and Prejudice'.

"What about you?" She asks and takes a sip of her tea.

"This is going to sound so corny, but I love Shakespeare and like Steinbeck, I also really like Harper Lee's work."

She swears, never in a million years did she ever think she'd meet someone who loves them just as much as she does.
