Disclaimer: Divergent and its characters belong to Veronica Roth. If the series belonged to me, Allegiant sure would have a different ending.
Tris (Half a year since Allegiant)
Half a year ago, someone very close to my heart died.
No, it wasn't a relative, it wasn't a friend.
It wasn't even someone who knew me.
Yet I loved her with my whole heart.
She was mine.
She was beautiful.
She was independent and strong.
She was young, but wise.
She was selfish. She was brave (so, so brave).
She gave her life for someone who betrayed her deeply.
And half a year later (six months later,
twenty-six weeks later,
one hundred eighty-two days later,
four thousand three hundred sixty-eight hours later)
I remember.
I remember.
I remember.
And it hurts still, badly hurts,
as if it happened yesterday.
As if she were here
(laughing smiling breathing living)
with me and then she was gone
gone
gone
gone
gone
As if it were yesterday...
NO.
She is not "just a book character"
She is not "just fictional"
She is not "fake"
She is my inspiration, my role model.
She is living flesh in my mind.
She is as real to me as any of your so-called "humans"
She is beautiful
stern
insistent
She loved
lost
grew
learned
forgave
sacrificed
And I will always remember her.
I love you, Tris.
A/N: Written yesterday, half a year after Allegiant was released. R&R please :)
