A/N: Hello everyone! I have this idea in my head for a new story. I don't know how long it'll be but we'll see.
Tris POV
Today I return to Chicago. It's been three long years since I was last there. Three painfully long years. But I couldn't go back, it was too hard. I couldn't bear to be in the same place as him. Tobias. Three years ago we mutually decided to end our relationship. We were both in different places in our lives and had difficulty trying to be on the same page. Afterwards I decided to start fresh somewhere else. I ended up moving to Seattle after being offered a job. About a month ago the business I worked for went under. It couldn't stay afloat in this economy. So now here I am: heading back to Chicago.
I contacted Christina not long after I lost my job. She was understandably upset with me for not having contacted her in three years but she reluctantly agreed to give me a second chance and help me out now that I'm returning to Chicago. Now that I'm going back I've realized just how much I've missed her. She was my best friend and I hurt her. She wasn't the only friend I left behind though. When Tobias and I broke up I thought I was doing the right thing by sacrificing and not letting our friends choose between him and I. Therefore I left so Tobias wouldn't have to lose our friends. I've never considered myself selfless enough but I guess I was only fooling myself while everyone else around me saw how selfless I really was.
PAGE BREAK
When the plane lands I get off and head to baggage claim. Christina can't pick me up so I will have to take a taxi to her apartment. After retrieving my suitcase and duffle bag I head outside to the pick up and drop off area. I hail a cab and give the driver the address that I wrote on a piece of paper.
About 20 minutes later the cab arrives at an apartment complex. I pay the driver and walk up to the front door. Christina told me that I'll have to buzz in. I press the button for her apartment and wait for her to answer.
"Tris, is that you?" I hear her voice say through the speaker.
"Yes, it's me" I respond
"I'll be right down."
"Okay."
Not a minute later I see her run down the stairs and open the door. She immediately surprises me by enveloping me in a tight embrace. I don't know what to say so I say the only thing I can think of.
"I'm so sorry, Christina. I missed you so much."
"It's okay, Tris. I understand. I missed you too. Come on. Let's go up."
We walk up two flights of stairs to her apartment. I guess she moved after I left so I've never been here before. We walk in and she shows me to my bedroom.
"I hope this will be okay for you." She says.
"It's perfect."
I'm home.
A/N: There's chapter 1. I know I have another story in progress so I'll try my best to update both this one and that one as soon as I can.
