Tris P.O.V
One week later
"What are you doing?" Tobias asked.

"Watching Star Wars." I said lying on the couch.

"In your pyjamas it's 2 a.m. And you also have to get ready."

"For what?" I sit up straight.

"You forgot my friend will be visiting us." He said.

"But today is Sunday. It means lazy day. Lazy day means no guests and no work only rest." I explained.

"But I told you about it on Friday and you said while playing Candy Crush as I may recall, "I will be really happy meeting him." So that means you had no objection." He said.

"Fine, I will go and change." I groaned and went to find something to wear in the end I wore a yellow, three-quartered sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans.

While, I was making my hair the doorbell rang. Tobias opened the door and greeted his friend. I went out of my room and saw a really familiar face sitting on the couch. Peter.

Peter, Tobias' friend, worst enemy of mine. I want to kill him right now. He was invited by Tobias.

"Tris, this is Peter. Peter this is Tris." Tobias said.

"I know you are shocked but try to act normal you don't want attention driving towards you." Haze whispers.

Act normal. I reach my hand out to greet him. "Hi, I am Tris. Tobias' wife."

And he shook my hand,"Please to meet you".

I take my hand back as soon as he greets me. "Where had you been?" Tobias asked as we all sat down.

"In New York. Got a new job"

"What kind of job?" I said.

"I work as a scientist for Jeanine Mathews," He said.

Really, you quit that job you had in high school.

"Yeah I know her. When did you move to New York?" Tobias asked.

"Five months ago." He said.

What a great liar you are Peter. What a great liar.

"Would you like tea or coffee?" I said.

"Coffee, please, with brown sugar and with a bit of milk," He said.

If you want I will add poison too. I go to the kitchen and make coffee for him with anger. How could time be so cruel with me?

Once, it is made I hand him the cup. And sat down beside Tobias. Just then, Tobias' phone rings and he says,"Excuse me, I have an important call." No, please don't leave me.

So it's the two of us left in the room. "You have changed, Beatrice," He said sipping from the cup.

"And you have also, and for you I am Tris." I snapped.

"You still remember everything, despite taking that memory serum?" He had a devilish look on his face.

"Who wouldn't be happy to remember their enemies?" I said.

"So you still remember those good old times."

"For you, those days are like a good glass of wine but for me those are like spoilt milk." My face was filled with anger, I gritted my teeth tightly.

"Really, but you did enjoy those times." He said.

"I swear to God I will kill you ri-" Just then Tobias entered the room.

"Yeah, what were you saying?" Tobias said.

"I was saying that I am leaving, I have to take my brother to the zoo." He said.

"Altleast -" Tobias said.

Don't say to stay for dinner. I will kill you in your sleep if you said that.

"Stay for dinner." Well done! Get ready to die. And if you said yes I will kill both of you right now.

"No man, next time." He said standing. Thank God.

"Okay, Tris would you escort him to the door." Really? You are such a.......

"I will see you next time," he said with a smile when we reached the door.

"Never come here or I will kill you." I whispered to him.

"Never say never." He said and I slammed the door closed.

"Wasn't he nice?" Tobias said.

"Yeah he was," I lied and gave him a small smile. Dude, you call him your friend you don't know anything about him as much as I do.

I wake up to my phone singing in the middle of the night.

"Hello". I said yawning.

On the other side of the line I heard sobs and a low whisper," Tris."

"Christina, what happened?" I said.

"You.......have.........to.........come." She burst into tears.

"I am coming, Christina." I said and hung up the phone and wake Tobias.

"What happened?" He said.

"It's Christina, I don't know what happened, but she was crying and told us to come." I said taking my clothes to change.

We both rushed to her apartment.
