AN: Thanks for the support! I'm sorry for the long waits but please stay with me! Please review, it would mean a lot!

Tobias POV

Tris has been gone for almost a week. Five days. I don't know what to feel anymore. She thought I wouldn't understand. If she doesn't even share things with me, how would she know?

Everyone has been affected by Tris' stunt. Christina has been non stop calling her but Tris has only picked up twice to say 'I'm sorry' and 'I had to do it' before hanging up. I haven't tried to call her at all. I don't feel exactly mad or sad just empty. Zeke and Shauna have put wedding plans on hold once again. Zeke spends hours trying to find Tris with his computer skills. Shauna spends her time with everyone, comforting us. Uriah tries to keep everyone positive and the mood light. Marlene makes everyone drinks late at night, especially me. Will cooks dinner every night for us, filling us with foods that make us sleepy.

I think about everything I went through for Tris as I punch the swinging bag. Everything we've done to keep our minds off of their friend and my girlfriend. I don't even know if that's what I should call her.

I stop when the punching bag swings to violently and the pain in my hands finally hits me. I wipe my sweat on a towel and head to the locker room of the gym. I rinse myself off quickly in the shower.

I climb into my truck and drive to Zeke and Shauna's place for dinner. This has been my same routine for the past five days.

"How you doing, Four?" Zeke greets me.

"Good" I answer, only lying a little. I'm the last to arrive. Everyone already sits around the living room, paper plates waiting for food and glasses of wine half full.

"Hey Four" Christina says.

"Sup" I say, taking my usual seat on the corner of the couch.

"Shoes off" Shauna scolds me. I sigh and kick them off.

"There" I smirk.

"Are you five years old? Put your shoes away like everyone else" she demands.

"I'm four actually" I joke as I pick up my shoes. She rolls her eyes but her smile peaks through and everyone laughs.

"Dinner!" Will calls as per usual. We hurry to be first in line, paper plates in hand. Uriah is first but only because he pushed Marlene and I out of the way. He beams as Will dishes him the first serving of chicken.

"Cheater" Marlene mumbles under her breath, glaring at her boyfriend.

I get to the front of the line and Will serves me the heavenly smelling food. We settle down in the living room in our usual spots, digging in.

"Good food as usual, Will" Christina praises.

"Glad to hear it" Will says. We all murmur our agreements with Christina's statement.

"Ready for the Halloween party tomorrow?" Zeke asks slyly.

"I am so ready" Uriah says.

"My costume's so lit" Christina says.

"I don't know if I'm going" I say.

"What?" Marlene yells.

"Tris and I were supposed to go together. I don't even really like Halloween anyway" I reply.

"But your costume came yesterday and everything" Zeke says. I rub the back of my neck.

"Yeah, I just don't know" I say.

"You're going. It'll be good for you" Shauna says.

"Oh alright" I sigh.

My phone buzzes and I dig it out of my pocket. The screen is lit up by a call. Specifically, a call from Tris.

"Guys" I say, flinging my phone down.

"Don't answer" Will says. The call stops a second later. It lights up again- another call.

"Answer" Christina hisses.

"I-"

"Answer" Shauna repeats Christina's words. I sigh and accept the call.

The first thing I hear is Tris' heart wrenching sob. "You were right, I'm sorry."

"Tris-"

"I'm so so sorry. I- Hey I said back off!" She hollers the rest of her sentence, sobbing at the end.

"Tris are you all right?" I ask cautiously.

"No, I'm not. I shouldn't have left. I've only destroyed our relationship and put myself in danger. My phone is dying but I still care..." Her voice is cut off my three beeps. I'm guessing her phone died.

"What happened?" Shauna asks. They all look at me with wide eyes.

"She said she was sorry and I was right. I don't know where she is but it was loud and she yelled at someone to back off... She said she put herself in danger. Her phone died" I say numbly.

"Oh my god" Christina murmurs. We sit in silence for a moment, all thinking.

"Who needs a drink" Marlene says flatly.

"All of us" Uriah says. Chatter picks back up but this time about Tris. Zeke and I remain silent while the others talk about her safety and what they would do if she comes back.

"Four give me your phone" Zeke finally says.

"Why?" I question.

"Just hand it over" he snaps. I sigh and pull it out.

"Here." I fling it at him. He takes it and walks away without a word.

"What's up with him?" Christina asks, staring after him.

"I'm not sure" I say, still trying to figure out what happened.

Marlene is done with the cocktails a few minutes later. Zeke still hasn't returned from wherever he went.

"How's work?" Will asks me.

"It's going good I guess. A little tiring but that's okay. Mia drove me a little crazy the one day I was there." I say.

"Understandable" he chuckles.

"I know where she is." Zeke is back, a laptop in his arms.

"You do?" Christina asks even though he just said he did.

"I tracked the call from Four's phone. She's in Las Vegas."

"Vegas?" Shauna says, shocked.

"Tris always hated Vegas" I mutter.

"Where was she going when she left?" Uriah asks.

"I think Chicago" Christina murmurs.

"Strange." Zeke says. I take another drink of my cocktail.

"I'm going to head out guys" I say.

"Are you sure?" Shauna asks.

"Yeah. I'll be fine" I say.

"Drive safe" Christina says.

"Bye guys" I say. They chorus their goodbyes as I grab my coat and shoes and head out into the cold night.

The devil costume taunts me every time I pass it. Tris ordered it and it only reminds me of her. I guess I'll have to wear it tonight. I sigh and grab it off the counter. My apartment is eerily quiet this morning; eerie and cold. I turn on Adele and the heat. Some reason Adele always makes me feel a little bit better.

I get to cleaning my apartment- my least favorite job in the world. I dust the living room and sweep the floors. I get to the kitchen and the little flashing red light on my home phone catches my attention. A message. Walking over to it, I press play and the robot voice of the imaginary lady starts her usual speech.

2 new messages. Message one: 9:30 pm, message two 3:30 am. Playing message one, her robotic voice drones.

"Hi, Four, it's Mia. I was just wondering if you were doing anything for Halloween. I'm going to this Halloween party on K street or something? I don't know but I thought I would invite you. Talk to you later." Mia's message ends awkwardly and I decide to text her later. Message two starts to play.

"Tobias, I'm sorry," Tris. "My phone died. I need to talk to you, please. If that's okay. I made a mistake. I wasn't myself. You're probably mad at me, but please. I need to explain myself and if you still want to be with me I would like that. Please call me, bye." I may have been mad at her but all I want right now is to wrap my arms around her and never let her go. She's like my drug; no matter what she does to me I still come back and maybe that's just because I'm in love with her.

I call her back. It only rings for a second before she picks up.

"Tobias" she says hopefully.

"Tris. Are you okay?" I ask. She sniffs on the other end.

"I'm okay. I flew to Chicago but I had to leave and the only flight I could get was to Vegas and now I'm in Sacramento. There were just some drunks but I'm okay" she promises me.

"You're coming back?" I ask.

"Of course. I'm sorry. I need to explain everything." She half sobs.

"Shh it's okay. I still love you. I just want to know about Peter" I say.

"I'll tell you. When I see you" she says.

"And when will that be?" I ask.

"Let's just say I'd better see you at the party" she says.

"Alright" I agree.

"Thank you for understanding, Tobias. I'll see you tonight. I love you, goodbye." She hangs up before I can respond.

Am I ready to see Tris? I sigh in frustration. The same thing happens every time. We fight, we apologize, everything goes back to how it was. No matter what she does I always take her back.

This is the last time.

"What are you supposed to be, Uriah?" Zeke snickers. We're all getting ready for the party at my place.

"I'm a unicorn, duh" Uriah says.

"Duh" Shauna teases. Uriah is decked out in a tutu, a white shirt, and long socks. Covered in glitter of course.

"At least Mar is a cuter unicorn" Christina says. Marlene is a more obvious unicorn than Uriah.

"That's because I'm better" Marlene teases, kissing a scowling Uriah. Christina is a cat, Will a farmer, Shauna an ice cream cone and Zeke a donut.

"What are you, Four?" Will asks.

"I'm a devil apparently" I say. I'm wearing a maroon button down and black pants. I hold the mask that goes with the costume, not wanting to put it on yet.

"Not bad" Will laughs.

"Who's ready?" I ask. everyone choruses back their answers overwhelmingly.

"I have room for four in my car" Zeke says.

"It's my car" Shauna scowls.

"Whatever."

"Uriah and I will go" Marlene says.

"Shotgun!" Uriah calls.

"I'll take Will and Chris in my truck" I say.

"Sounds good, leggo" Zeke says, waddling out the door in his donut outfit.

Christina, Will, and I make small talk on the way. Christina laughs at me when I get lost and Will tries to tell me where to go. Eventually, we arrive late. The party is at a big house on the coast owned by Will's sister. She greets us at the door and we head inside.

Halloween decorations line the walls and small Halloween snacks line the counters. I put my mask on at last and explore the place with Zeke and Shauna.

"This place is huge" Shauna says.

"I never knew Will's family was rich" Zeke says as we look out at the water from the balcony.

"I wish I could get a place like this one day" I sigh.

"Same" Shauna says, deliberately looking at Zeke. I laugh as he purposely ignores her stare.

"Come on, let's get some drinks" Zeke laughs, taking her hand. We leave the balcony and head inside. There's even a bar here and an apparently hired bartender.

"Is that Mia?" Shauna questions. I follow her gaze and indeed find Mia, staring at me. She comes over as she sees my stare.

"Hey, you never responded about the party," she says, "but I guess you still found it."

"Um, yeah, sorry. I just had a lot going on and I forgot" I say, immediately feeling guilty.

"So where's Tris?" she asks. I clear my throat.

"I'm not sure" I say awkwardly. She nods understandingly.

"We're gonna get some drinks" Zeke says despite the drink already in his hand. Him and Shauna go off, leaving me with Mia.

"Wanna dance?" she asks. I smile and lead the way into the crowds of people. My version of dancing is bouncing slightly but Mia goes all out, dabbing and all. People move around us, but someone bumps my shoulder as she makes her way through the crowd. She looks back and smiles, her mouth moving to say sorry. I freeze.

I would recognize that smile anywhere. Tris disappears and I still stare after her.

"Everything okay?" Mia yells.

"Yeah, I just have to do something" I say, not bothering to know whether she heard me or not. I move through the crowds of people just like Tris did. I look around but I can't find her anywhere. I sigh as I break through the crowd to see no Tris. I grab a drink and plop on he sofa.

I swear it was her. In a short red dress and a mask; a devil like me.

I finish off my drink as Christina finds me on the sofa. "No Tris?"

"I thought I saw her but I've looked everywhere" I sigh.

"Did you look in the backyard?" she asks.

"Yup."

"The kitchen?"

"Yup."

"Upstairs?"

"Nope" I say, bolting up. She points the way and I speed off. I race up the large staircase and there, against the railing is the devil. She leans over the second story hallway railing slightly, looking down below.

I stand next to her without a word.

"You found me" she smiles, looking at me. I thought I didn't need Tris. I thought I was just being foolish chasing after her. But when I look at her here, I feel whole again and I already know I won't be mad at her no matter how much I want to be.

"I always will." I remove her mask and capture her lips with mine. Our lips move in sync just as they always have and always will. She pulls away and looks up at me.

"You should be angry with me" she murmurs.

"I was. But I love you, Tris Prior. And love beats anger any day" I say back. She smiles.

"I need to tell you everything." Tris grabs my hand, leading me to a bedroom. Despite everything she's done, it still feels right to be with her.

AN: Okay, first of all so so sorry for the wait. This chapter might have been a bit confusing but it will all be explained in the next chapter. Sorry for any typos as well. Please leave a review. To be honest, if I was reading this chapter I would be very mad at both of them ;)
