Transcendent

Chapter 14

Tris POV
"Well our answer for you is..... that I'm sorry but you have to come back... I'm so sorry.." and that's all I hear because I drop the phone and start sobbing. I know now that it was all too good to be true.

I pack up a few of my things. I'll leave now, quickly and quietly, so no one notices I'm gone until tomorrow. By then I'll be long gone. I ... I just wish things were different. I know, I'll write a letter and leave it underneath Tobias' door explaining everything.

I sit down and begin to write.
Dear Tobias,
By the time you read this, I'll be long gone, on my way to New York. Yes, that's right I have to go back. I wish things were different but sadly there not. I wanted to tell you not to wait for me, because who knows how long you'll be waiting. We probably will never see each other again, so I wanted to tell you that I love you. But you have to move on. Find a girl that makes you happy, someone who can be there for you when I cant. I hope you understand that what I'm doing is with you in mind and the rest of the gang. Tell them that I'll miss them so much. And who knows maybe I'll be sent back to Chicago and I'll see you all again someday.
As long as I can dream, i dream of you Tobias.
Goodbye
Your Tris xoxo

I finish the letter and grab my stuff. I run to Tobias' apartment and stuff the letter underneath the door. By this time I'm crying, so he can't see me like this. If he does he'll think he has to wait on me and I could never live with myself if he did. I reach for my jacket because it's getting cold and I realise I left it behind. I run to my apartment quickly. I have to be on that midnight train, I have to.

Four POV
I hear the sound of paper crinkling and someone crying so I get up and walk to the door. Whoever was there is gone now so I pick up the paper and begin to read.

I can't believe it. Tris is leaving and she's not going to say good bye. I have to find her and stop her before it's too late. Where could she be. The train tracks! Of course!

I rush up! I need to find her before she leaves.

Tris POV
I grab my jacket and make my way up towards the train tracks. I'll probably never see this place again. Never see the dauntless again, never see the chasm again, never see the gang again, never see Tobias again.

I get up to the tracks and wait. Then a low voice calls out "Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?" I turn and see Tobias watching me. "You got my letter." I reply weakly. "Of course I did. Tris, you can't do this, you can't just leave, as if no one cares about you. Did you think it would be easier this way?" he asks. I turn as tears start to spill down my cheeks. I can hear the train now. I know I'll have to jump. I turn back around and I say,"Im sorry. I never wanted it to be like this." and I jump.

He shouts after me, his voice cracking, as if he's about to cry. I sink down to the ground. I cry violently now, as if I've never cried before. Then my phone rings. "Hello. Is this Tris Prior. We have some news for you, you may want to sit down." I reply that I am sitting down and they continue speaking,"Well we have some good news for you. It turns out that though you still will be coming back... your job contract only lasts for 6 more months, then you can be back in Chicago." I'm shocked. "Th-thank you." I stutter and I shut the phone off.

Only 6 months. I could be back here by Christmas. Everyone will have forgotten about me by then, Tobias will have moved on. But I could still be friends with them. Couldn't I?

Four POV
And just like that. She's gone. I'll never see her again. I turn away and walk back down to my apartment. I feel numb, as if a part of me has been taken away, a part that's really important. I'll never see her again. That sentence plays on my mind continuously as I fall asleep. I'll never see her again..
