This is after the choosing ceremony.

Andrew and I are walking back to our home in Abnegation. I see Mr. and Mrs. Black walking down the street near us, shock covering their faces. I remember that their son Robert transferred to Amity. They look as sad as I feel.
When we reach home, sorrow overcomes Andrews face.
"Why did they leave us Natalie?" He asks. Sadness in his eyes. "I thought we were good parents." He says and hangs his head.
"It wasn't us Andrew, it was them, I always knew Beatrice didn't belong in Abnegation..." I start but he interrupts.
"But, why, Dauntless?" He asks, taking a seat in a chair, putting his head in his hands.
"She wanted to be free, she didn't belong, she wanted to be able to let go, to not think of others all the time, Abnegation just isn't Beatrice's style." I say. I had known for years that Beatrice would leave us, I also was almost sure she was divergent, maybe that is why she left.
But Caleb is the one who surprised me. He was always so selfless, I really felt like my son fit in, that he would have stayed in Abnegation, I also thought he had feelings for Susan and might marry her, he even might have become Abnegations leader someday. But he left.
"Well how do explain Caleb?" He asks. I can tell he is struggling to keep his voice from rising.
"He was always a great student, he was smart, I am just as surprised as you are but their is nothing we can do about this Andrew. They left for a reason, that reason is because they didn't feel comfortable in Abnegation, not because we were bad parents or because we didn't raise them correctly, they just belonged somewhere else." He sighs and walks calmly upstairs but I know his mind is racing. Mine is too. I go into the kitchen to prepare dinner and I think about what Tris must be eating right now.
Probably a hamburger. I smile, remembering the taste. I hope she passes initiation.

I want to scream. And kick. And punch. And cry. But I cant. I cant show any emotion about the loss of both of my children at the choosing ceremony. The house sounds so quiet. Of coarse, it always was, but now it is more lonely. I saw the smile on Beatrice's face as she ran with the Dauntless. I should feel happy for her. I should feel glad that she is free. But I don't. I want her back, I want to hug her one more time.
I also saw Caleb walk away with the Erudite. He also looked happy. But I still wasn't. I just want my kids back, but I guess that wont happen.
Poor Andrew and Natalie, they miss their children so much.
Please review and just to remind you, this is just a one shot, thank you for reading! :)
