She carried a warmth in her heart always. She, with eyes that made you feel safe in the deep ebony. She, who never thought she would get past one day but always found a way. She, who never saw a ray of hope. But that never made her give up on everyt...
Even though I was so excited, I have never felt this mix of emotions. I was so happy for Tris and what he had accomplished. Especially, in this small town, this was an opportunity of a lifetime. Boston. City Life. I can't believe he's going to be so far away. I have been dreading this day since I was conscious of how the world works. Him leaving. Me with mum and dada. Don't get me wrong I love them. But my parents are too difficult. I just don't know how I will deal with them alone.
Lost in these puzzles, I didn't realise that it's already 4 pm. Tristan has his flight at 5:30 so we should probably be leaving in a few to wave him goodbye. That thought sent shivers through my body. I just love him too much.
I decided on wearing a modest light blue pair of jeans with Tristan's Varsity jacket over my white tube top. He never complained when I took his clothes. They make me feel safer. He knows that. He always knows. And that's why, the thought of not having him with me makes my heart it a little numb. Nonetheless, I don't want to ruin this for him. Moving on, I put on a pair of my favourite sneakers and add a few rings to accesorise. I love my rings more than life itself. I am too much of a jewellery person. I add a pair of ear studs to go with the look. I let my hair down. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. For someone who is always so critical of her appearance, I would say that I look decent enough. I just wish that mom would let me dye my hair. I have been looking forward to a rose gold highlight now more than ever.

Anyways, as I was standing there, almost insecure of how my belly wasn't flat enough and how I was too tall for a 9 th grader, I feel myself being engulfed into a comforting embrace.
"You always look beautiful Tizi. Don't ever feel anything less than that when I am not here to remind you."
I turn around to face him and again, not getting enough of it, give him the tightest hug of all times. The one that screams that I am too scared to let go.
"What am I gonna do without you Tris?" I say with tears threatening to come out of my eyes.
"Well to say the least start doing your chores regularly. Then you can drive mom around you know and probably work hard I'd say. Just do things you never did."
"You're an ass Tris" I say punching his arm playfully.
"But you love me anyway." He says with a wink walking out of my room.
I already know that he is gonna come ba-
"Oh I almost forgot, we are leaving in 5 minutes so get your ass down if you do wanna wave me off little duck" and he's off.
I absolutely hate when he calls me that. (Inside joke)
Anyways, I take one last look at myself, and not letting my mind wander off, I make my way downstairs. I see my dad impatiently looking at his watch while my mom tries her best to not say anything that she might regret later. They're both Virgos so I would be surprised if they both weren't anxious because of the delay.
