Chapter 12 ~ Tris

Chapter 12 with Tris! Here goes! And sorry that it's fairly short...

But like always...

Enjoy! 💕

"PLEASE? Matthew... PLEASE!" I'm begging him. I need this one damn thing.

A strip of paper.

But not just any regular strip.

A plane ticket.

Matthew sighs, "Consider it your sixteen birthday present. To where?"

I squeal, "New York and back."

He glances at me from the side of his head. "I'll call our jets to arrange something."

I nod, "Could you also manage to get a ticket for To-Four's first concert?"

He laughs, scoffing even. "Of course, you silly girl. Four already gave me five of his tickets before he left."

I'm curious, "What for?"

"For some of our workers, or jet workers, or whatever."

An idea strikes me. "Could you bring along Portia and her boyfriend? And Christina?"

It's his turn to be curious, "What for?"

I grin and whisper in his ear, and surprisingly, he obeys.

"You guys take off in one week," he says before turning around to leave the room.

"Christina, want to come to New York with me?"

She squeals, "Are you kidding? Of course!" She holds up her fingers and begins to list off subjects. "Celebrities, fashion, city..."

I cut her off, "We're going to see Four live in concert."

I'm sitting on the edge of Christina's bed, humming to myself.

"Tris, should I bring this?"

We're packing into four large suitcases.

I look at the dress Christina holds up.

It's black with a flare skirt and a heart neckline.

"It's pretty," I tell her.

She nods and carefully packs it in.

Then she yells out "DONE!"

I sit on the suitcases and she zips all of them up.

We're staying at New York for two and a half weeks at Matthew's brother's house.

That was five days ago.

We're now ready to board the jet.

And I'm ready to get Four back.

"His concerts are in about a week," Portia says, cuddling next to her boyfriend.

Christina glances at me, "Shopping and touring before then?"

I close the laptop and glance out the window.

The clouds are so puffy and white in the blue sky.

"Sure."

Portia lets go of his hand, then says, "Okay, for you two's new looks and name and personality."

"Jayden!" Christina squeals all of a sudden.

Portia nods. "Christina will be Jayden, a blonde girl that's a cheerleader. We will add fake skin to make you look more different."

Christina's eyes widen, "Those exist?"

Portia then turns to me.

"Tris, you will be Olivia, a brunette that is quiet and an artist. She will be really pretty."

Christina pouts, "How come Olivia is pretty and Jayden isn't?"

Portia laughs quietly, "Olivia wants Four, doesn't she?"

That shuts Christina up.

Thank you for 50 votes, and also 100 votes on Far From You!

Anyone figuring out Tris's genius plan? And why Christina's involved?

Anyway, I'm going to put the QOTC down below:

QOTC: What stories of mine have you read?

Me: I'm the author, so ALL 😆
