The next day started out the same as any other day had been for the past year. I got up at 5 am and immediately made my lay to the top ledge to begin my task of standing still looking out over the dead horizon for no damn reason. Jason whole despair attitude from the previous day had compltetely vanished and his ready for work enthusiasm was shining from him. "I dont get why you have to pout and groan so much" He laughed as i groaned trying to fix my belt which was caught in my Pants. "Its early in the morning, Im fricking tired ok!" I exclaimed flinging my belt off my pants in disgust, Might as well not even wear it. "Calm down Ellen, I know you hate it up here but its not nice for me being in your complany when your so moody" he argued. "I am not moody!" I protested "Im just sick of being stuck in this stupid faction with this stupid ass pointless job". Jason looked dissapointed. The kind of look your parents give you when youve done something bad. "Dont give me that dissapoinment look" I complained. " Ellen I may only have a few weeks of life left, if even that. I want to make the best of it. I dont want to have to wake up in the morning and listen to you constantly moaning about your life. Im in danger of death. Actual death! So stop complaining like a little princess!" Jason yelled. I stood there in Shock and was thankful we were on the top ledge so no one else could here. I had never heard Jason shout like that. "Im sorry" I said now feeling ashamed. I cant beleive i could have been so insensitive. "You know sometimes i think your too honest" Jason pointed out. "Your a full on candor smart mouth most of the time" . I gave him a dig. "Hey give me a break Im technically candor if you wanna go all aptitude on it" I laughed. "Listen can we just not fight and have a good time, I dont want to spend my final days fighting with you" Jason said. "These arent your final days idiot. Your not going to die. What happened to your positive thinking way of things" I asked. "Theres a difference between being positive and being realistic" Jason answered. I rolled my eyes. No matter how hard I tried I couldnt convince Jason that he was not going to die. I wouldnt let that happen. Because I loved him. Not that Id ever tell him that. He didnt feel the same way. Well i doubt he did. He was jason the Divergent. And I was Ellen the Dauntless wannabe. We spent the next four hours playing thumb wars until it was time for our break. When we were eating lunch with our fellow collegues Brian the head fence guarder stood up and got all our attention. "Listen up people. We have been told to abandon our fence juties and return to the city for a few days. We have been given a special task to do which we will be told when we get there, There will be replacment coming in from the city to take over while we are gone. We leave this evening". He had kept it abrupt as he usually did and now everyone was exited. We didnt get to go into the city that often. Our only holidays were once a year for 2 weaks and it wasnt enough so the thought that we were going to get away from work was amazing. To most people but not to me and Jason. Because if we were in the city it would be easier for someone to find out about Jason. He wasnt able to blend in. Anywhere he went he attracted attention because he was so interestinly different in his ways of thinking and speaking. He couldnt disguise it. We exchanged a knowing look and i smiled trying to say that everything was goin to be ok and hoped he couldnt see through the fear in my eyes.
