Ch. 2: Back To Chicago

Tris POV:

We are getting ready for our departure and all my celebrity friends are here I send me safely.
I hug them all. Adam Levine is my favorite, so he takes a picture with me and gives me on his albums. I smile and bored the plane.
------
Crystal wakes me up.
"Mommy. We landed. Come on let's go."
I smile. I pick up my stuff and walk off the plane.
People begin to bombard me. I smile and laugh. I take pictures and sign journals, posters, and pictures.
"Can I take a picture with you?" A deep masculine voice says.
"Uh sure."
I turn around and see Uriah.
"Uriah!" I say and throw my arms around him.
"Tris!" He exclaims.
"Man I missed you. Where's everyone else?" I ask.
"Well...we are beginning college in a few weeks. But we're having a party later, you should come."
"I will."
Crystal is hiding behind my legs.
Uriah squats down to her level.
"Crystal. Haven't seen you since you were a baby. I'm your uncle Uriah." He says.
"Hi." She mutters and blushes.
Uriah looks at me.
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." He says.
I hit him lightly while he chuckles.
"Oh! My! God! Is that Tris Prior I see?!" A woman yells.
I turn around to see Christina.
I hug her.
"I've missed you!" I say.
"I've missed you too." She replies.
"Now that we all missed each other, Can we just get to dad?" Charles says and we laugh.
--------
Christina and I pick out dresses for tonight.
I pick a short black, spaghetti strap dress and my black red-bottom heels.
I apply mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick. Waterproof. I keep my hair on my shoulders.
We drive to Zeke and Uriah's house and the lights are off.
I open the door.
"WELCOME BACK!" Everyone yells.
I smile and tears of joy start to come from my eyes.
I hug Zeke and Uriah, then Shauna, and Marlene, and Will, Peter, and Lynn.
One person is missing. I start to ask.
"Wait where's--"
"Tobias?" A male voice finishes for me.
I turn around and see a taller and more handsome Tobias.
"Tobias!" I say throwing my arms around his neck
He picks me up and spins me around.
"Tris, you look gorgeous. I missed you." He says.
"You don't look that bad yourself." I say smirking.
He grins at me and I return it.
Christina pulls me on the dance floor and we dance together.
After a while, I leave the party. As I'm walking out I see Luke. I hug him.
"Tris. You look stunning." He says.
"Thank you. Well I'll see you around."
"You too."
I walk to my house which is right down the street. We brought Christina's car.
I open the door and Charles is in the couch sleeping.
I walk up the steps slowly. College start in two days and I want to be ready.
I lay on the bed thinking about college and Tobias.
--------
I walk up the next morning at 10a.m. Crystal is jumping on my bed.
"Crystal." I say.
"Mommy. I want to see Daddy. Where's Daddy?" Crystal begins.
I sigh and call Christina.
"Hey what's Tobias' number?" I ask.
"441-642-4610." She replies.
"Thank you."
I hang up and dial the number.
"Hello?" Tobias says.
"You have a fan." I say.
"Tris Prior is my fan?" He asks sarcastically.
"No! Crystal Eaton."
"Just as great."
"Let's meet at Sunset Park. In an hour."
"Sounds good."
I hang up the phone. I get Crystal ready and then I change into faded denim shorts, a black tee, my black vans, and sunglasses. I put my hair in a messy bun.
Crystal and I walk to Sunset Park and see Tobias.
"Daddy!" She squeals.
"Hey Princess." He says.
I smile at them.
Crystal runs over to the swings and she starts playing with the other kids.
"So Ms. Hollywood, I saw you at the Red Carpet Academy Awards." Tobias says.
"Yea. Its been a fun four years but I have college to get ready for." I say.
Then I see Crystal fall on the ground We run over to her.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"It just hurts." Crystal says.
"Come on, let's go get you cleaned up."
I put a band aid on her scratched knee.
"See? There you go. You can go back to running." I say.
Tobias is staring at me.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing."
My phone buzzes. It's Mia, my friend from Hollywood.
"Tris. Guess what?"
"What?"
"You are having a photo shoot in two weeks and then the Labor Day event."
"That's great."
"Bring your friends."
"Yay!"
"Bye text you later?"
"Always."
I hang up.
I go on the swing set and Crystal sits on my lap while Tobias pushes us.
We laugh.
"Eh. Tris. I have to go. I'm meeting Zeke somewhere." Tobias says.
"Right. I'll see you around."
Crystal and I walk home. I leave her with my mom and head to the mall.
I see Christina.
"Chrissy. Shopping? Shocking." I say.
She hits my arm playfully.
I buy clothes, supplies for college, and food.
I am having a little difficulty with the bags. Someone tall helps me.
It's Luke.
I smile at him gratefully and he smiles back.
He walk me to the house and we set the things down in the kitchen.
He kisses my cheek as he walks out.
I smile.
______
College starts today. I am gonna be staying on campus. Crystal is crying her eyes out.
"Crystal, I will visit you every weekend and holiday and I promise I'll be with you for your birthday."
"Promise?" She asks holding out her pinky.
"Promise." I say linking my pinky with hers.
"I love you Mommy."
"I love you too, Crystal."
I give her to my brother. I hug my family and then run off to find my roommate.
I open the door and I see Christina.
"Christina!" I yell.
"Tris!"
We squeal. I bring my stuff in.
"Now let's go look for some clubs." She says.
We walk into the courtyard and it is filled with people.
"Let's go over here." Christina pulls me to the cheer leading table.
"Let's sign up." She says.
