I let out a frustrated scream as I pull at the clothes hanging in my closet. I pull down shirt after shirt before throwing them in the floor immediately. "I have nothing to wear."

Christina rolls her eyes. "Tris. It's not that big of a deal."

"Not that big of deal?" I yell louder than I mean too. "Christina. I'm meeting Tobias tomorrow."

"I'm aware. You haven't stopped talking about it since Christmas, but I'm sure he doesn't care what you wear. He loves you."

"Please just help me." My voice is desperate now. I know that I could show up to the airport tomorrow in my worst outfit with my hair a mess. He wouldn't look at me any different, but I still want to look cute.

Tomorrow everything is going to change. He'll be here -with me- even if it's only for a short time.

All of a sudden, I feel something wet and sticky roll down my cheek before I have a full-on break down.

"What?" Christina asks annoyed, putting my clothes back on hangers.

I wipe the tears off my face. "I get to wrap my arms around him in less than 24 hours, Christina. I get to hug him and hold his hand. I get to actually feel his presence." I squeal and choke on my tears.

I'm so excited.

His plane is supposed to land at noon (my time) tomorrow, and my mom's going to drive me there to pick him up. Also, I needed a videographer. So she's doing that job too. 

Christina walks closer and wraps her arms around me. I hug her back with a smile on my face. She pulls away after a few minutes and pulls me by hand. She sits me on my bed.

"Now," she says. "Let's find an outfit. It's almost time to impress your man."

I ended up finding the perfect outfit with her help. I decided on a light pink Adidas shirt and black cropped leggings. It's simple, but it's cute and trendy.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight considering I'm still scrolling through my phone with the digits '12:00' shining from the clock on my bedside table.

12 more hours.

I keep thinking about that phrase adults tell you as a child when you can't sleep due to excitement. 'The sooner you fall asleep, the sooner tomorrow will be here.' That's not working... at all.

My phone vibrates and I squint at my screen. A FaceTime requests appears on my screen and I click accept, too tired to think before my actions.

It's midnight.

When my eyes fix on the person, a smile appears on my face. "Hey," I croak, slightly confused as to why my boyfriend's face is on my screen.

"I see you can't sleep either." He chuckles.

I roll over and set my phone beside me, lying on my side with my face squashed against my pillow. "You got that right." I yawn.

"Tris. You're exhausted," he said. "Go to sleep. The time zones totally slipped my mind. I'm sorry if I woke you up."

"No!" I say a little too fast. "I'm too excited to sleep." I'm not even sure if he can understand what I'm saying. My words are slurring together.

"Babe," he says softly. "Go to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." At that, his face lights up.

"I like the sound of that." I feel my eyes slowly drooping closed. 

"Goodnight baby. I love you." That's the last thing I hear before I'm submerged into the depths of sleep.

A/N: They're meeting next chapter! Who's excited? I know I am.

Also, I need your opinion on this. This story is nowhere near being over. I have so much planned for Fourtris it's not even funny. How should I do it?

A.) Put everything in this book, and it be really long. (Probably at least 70 chapters if not more.)
B.) Make "Break the Distance" a series. (More than likely a trilogy.)

Please comment A or B because I want y'all to enjoy this. :) IF OPTION B WINS, THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE LAST IN BOOK ONE.
