Tris pov:

After the running out of the school, I walk to the local park and sit down. I realize I still have the guitar wrapped around my body.

I pull it in front of me and begin singing one of my songs. I wrote it a little while back about nobody in particular, but it could be about Tobias now I guess.

It's called ' wings' ( Originally by Birdy)

Sunlight comes creeping in

Illuminates our skin

We watch the day go by

Stories of all we did

It made me think of you

It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars

We danced on top of cars

Took pictures of the stage

So far from where we are

They made me think of you

They made me think of you

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly

Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

I'm in a foreign state

My thoughts they slip away

My words are leaving me

They caught an aeroplane

Because I thought of you

Just from the thought of you

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly

Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

If these wings could fly

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly

Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

I hear clapping and open my eyes and see the people in the park watching. I blush and look down.

A man walks up to me and says

"Hello, I am Max Martin, a music producer, I have worked with Britney Spears, The backstreet boys, you name it! Listen kid, you've got real talent and I want to offer you a record deal."

I stand up with a huge smile on my face and ask " Are you serious?!"

" Yes I am very serious, you in?"

" Yes! And by the way my name is Tris." I say.

"Okay, well we need to go to L.A so, we need to be on the plane there tonight. Better get packing Tris. Meet me at the airport at 6:00 pm tonight.

See ya soon." I happily walk home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am at home packing when there is a knock on my door. I groan and walk down stairs. I open the door and nobody is there. Stupid kids.

I turn around and hear sounds coming from the kitchen. I grab the broom that is next to me and slowly walk in the kitchen. I see Uriah standing there with a box of cold pizza in one hand, and a half eaten pizza in the other from my refrigerator. " What the heck Uriah! What are you doing here?" I scream at him. "Oh hey Tris, your door was open so I just walked right in, didn't you hear me knock?" He asks.

" Yes- I- URGHH! What do you want Uriah?" I ask him frustrated.

" Oh, I just wanted to say that I believe you. Like that you didn't sleep with Matthew. I know you wouldn't do that Tris. You love Tobias too much. I can see it in the way that you look at him, because Marlene looks at me the same way. He still loves you, just know that. He is just really broken and confused right now, give him some time." Uriah says. " Wow Uriah that was really deep. Thank you for believing me." I say with tears in my eyes, I walk up to him and hug him. " Ya no prob, now let's play tag." He pokes me and shouts " you're it!" While running up stairs. And he's back.

I chase him up stairs and I run into my room and see he is standing frozen, looking at my empty room with only boxes full of my things. " Tris? why is your room like this?" He looks at me and I look down sadly and say

" Uriah, I... I got a record deal and am moving to L.A tonight."

" WHAT?! You can't leave! No. No. This is just a dream and I will wake up any second. You and Tobias are together and you aren't fighting and you aren't moving. This isn't real." He says, more to himself than to me.

" Uri, I'm sorry. I need to move on. Tobias doesn't love me, Christina doesn't want to be my best friend and none of the gang will talk to me. It's for the best." I say.

He walks up to me and embraces me in a hug and say " I'm going to miss you so much Tris."

"I'm gonna miss you too Uri. You gotta go, I need to finish packing. He nods and says goodbye.

Once I am done I look around my house. It's so empty. People will be renting it out, but I'm not selling it.

I am also not going to tell any of the renters about my secret recording studio.

I walk out and to the airport.

I get in the plane and sit next to the window looking out as the plane takes off.

Here I go

Hey initiates! Fourtris has broken up, Tris is gone, what will Tobias do when he hears that Tris is gone? Even better, what will his reaction be when he finds out what really happened with Matthew and Tris?

QOTD: How old are you?

My answer: 13
