I sit down. Ever since I found out, I haven't been able to do much else. Eat, sleep, repeat. The others think I should be fighting, they say I'm their strongest fighter. But what for? There was one thing; one person I cared about, and now she's gone.
Uriah pokes his head in through the door.
I reply gruffly. My voice is not my own any more. It can't be. He looks at me, sympathy in his eyes.
No. I'm not okay. He knows that You're not okay,and you need to be.I was fine when Marlene died. Well, not fine, of course I was sad. But I got over it, or at least, enough to be able to cope. You need to as well he tells me. The speech again. I don't listen.
I shield my face with my hands, not letting him see me sad. But he knows.
I cut him off.
Before he can grab me, I run. He knows what's going to happen. I keep running, sprinting now, to get to the one place I need to be. The chasm. I never thought I'd be here again. Well, not without Tris. But soon, I will be with her. I've always thought being factionless is better than being dead, as you would be with people you know or recognise, you would have people to keep you warm. But the one person I need won't be there.
Death doesn't seem that bad anymore.
And then I jump. I see Uriah round the corner as I fall. His expression is shocked, like he didn't know what would happen. But there's nothing else I can do, now. As I fall, I murmur one word. It's unlikely that he will be able to hear me, but I do it anyway.
And then I hit the bottom. I feel pain for a second; the corners of my eyes go dark. And then, all feeling disappears. I can't see, I can't feel the pain.
I hear. It's Tris. She's here to welcome me. But it isn't Tris. It's Uriah, trying to wake me up. I won't now. I'm too far gone.
I see Tris. For a split second, she's there. I try to smile, but my body is too stiff.
I love her. And I'm happy I came to join her.
