Tobias was the fat kid in high school. But somehow he was friends with the beautiful, popular Bea Prior. After a night that was supposed to bring them together goes wrong, he abandons his hometown with determination to prove himself. He comes back five years later as Four Eaton, an important businessman of New York, and not to mention handsome. Is the friendzone really inescapable?

Sequel to 'I Try.' You need to read that one first to understand this one at all. Completed!

*One-shot* Tris fell in love with her best friend. She was upset for a while because he didn't share the feelings. She never acknowledged that she didn't feel at home in his arms, but in Tobias's she felt like she was.

*One-shot* Tris and Tobias get into a fight, and then they make up later. Fluffy.

Tris works at the Chicago P.D. at the age of 22 years old as a detective. She loves her job, but cannot stand her partner, Four. He's always hitting on her since he's cocky and single, but not a player. Around others, he's the opposite. He teases her to get her attention, but neither of them realize it. The thing is, she does it back. "Sometimes a true love starts as a false hate."

*One-Shot* Tobias is in Afghanistan, and he is supposed to return next month to his wife, Tris, and daughter, Maysie. His permanent homecoming is earlier than expected, and he surprises them when they're at the carousel. And you know what they say: There's always magic in a carousel.

*One-shot* Two months ago, Tris and Tobias broke up. Their paths cross once more, and they have the chance to come together again. But will they take it? (Spoiler alert: They do.) They spend the evening together, and old memories will reminisce. "Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."

Tris was in juvy for about a year. She's had quite the high school experience, just not a good one. She's part of the San Francisco Symphony at the age of 23 playing bass, a big achievement for being that young. Leaving her 'friends' for a topnotch musician school, she loves her new life there. But there's Four, making it 10 times more confusing. (First 10 chapters high school)

*One-shot* Tobias proposes to Tris. This is roughly five years after 'I Try' and 'I Will' if you've read those. You don't have to read those to understand this, but many asked me to write it. Go check 'em out if you want to before reading this.

Tris isn't very... open with people after the accident. She's afraid of losing someone she cares about. Why care if you'll lose them anyway? She finally makes a few friends, but she tells herself she can't trust them. Everyone else thinks she's some goth chick, but she just wears black to go unnoticed. (There's an actual plot line, not just a senseless high school story.)
