Hi! This is a new story, of a Dauntless girl after initiation. :) At first it was one-shot, but I thought it would be too long. Kind of sad, sorry! -F
I look around my room for hope. All I see on my bed is a hair brush, pillows, a ripped dress, my glasses, my cell phone, and my wand. My friend gave the wand to me. I smile when I see it. Hidden under my mattress, in a little space, are little note, notes I write to myself, notes from others. One slips out and falls on the floor. I lean over and pick it up.
"I love you, Charlie!" it says. It's from my boyfriend, Gregory, and I call him Greg. My full name is Charlotte, Charlotte Jamie Fletcher.
I wipe off my cheeks from yesterday's tears.
I hear a knock on my door.
"Hello?" I say. I am in my bedroom, and only one person has a key to my house but me, only Greg. He pushes the door open slowly, and walks over to my bed. I scoot over to the left so he can sit.
He sits down and smiles. "Hey, Charlie, how are you today?" he says calmly, then brushes the hair off my eyes.
Only he knows my secret.
"I'm...okay..." I say, and he lays down next to me. He hugs me and holds me closer.
"How is Samantha?" he says. She is my sister, and she is in the hospital. I don't reply.
"How would you feel.. if... I... disappeared? Just... suddenly?" I ask, and watch the nervousness on his face increase.
"Charlie... what are you saying..." he asks slowly. I watch a tear drop off his chin and I wipe off my tears, looking at all the wasted mascara.
"Hey, Charlie, I brought you something!" he says, and he pulls a tube out of his right jean pocket as he wipes a tear off my face with his thumb. I am only 25, and he is 27. I know it's not a huge difference, but it means he was through initiation two years before me, even thought that was the year we met.
"What did you get me?" I ask.
"I got you a tube of mascara. This one's tear-proof, but I don't want you to cry. I love you, you know?"
He wraps his arms around me. And with that, I fell asleep. Right where I belong, right in his arms.
