I hope you all had a great Christmas! I can't wait until Divergent! Okay, so I have a game, the first person to guess where this quote is from gets a shout-out :D
"Raggedy Man, Goodnight."
Okay I'll leave you alone so you can read now.
When I rise early the next morning, I feel great, completely rested. It feels nice, after what happened yesterday. I turn over and see Tobias is already awake.
"Good morning," He says, I smile at him.
"I don't want to get up yet."
"Me neither." I lay my head on his arm and he wraps his arms around me. We don't talk, I just enjoy the moment. We don't pull apart when we hear a knocking on the door. The second time someone knocks, it is more rapid.
"Hello, anyone there! If you don't open up I'm coming in!" An angry voice shouts, Eric. I begin to get up, but Tobias just hugs me tighter.
"Go away Eric, we already know about the news!" Tobias shouts,
"What news?" I ask Tobias as the foot steps fade away.
"Oh, right, you don't know. Molly and Peter died, and Will and Christina got paired up together." He tells me,
"Really? That's great!" I shout, he nods his head and then he's quiet for a while, like he's thinking about something.
"I have something I need to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hands and look back at him. "I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though."
"That's sensible of you," I say, smiling too. "We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something."
I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear.
"Maybe I'm already sure," he says, "and I just don't want to frighten you."
I laugh a little.
"Then you should know better."
"Fine," he says. "Then I love you." I smile at him,
"I love you too." I say, he kisses me and then we get up so we can start our day.
"We have to pick our jobs today." He tells me, I scowl.
"Didn't you do that last year?"
"No, I only got my ranking."
"What rank were you?"
"First, like you."
"Tobias, you're not supposed to tell me yet!"
"Oh come on, nobody cares." I roll my eyes at him.
"What are you going to choose?" I ask, he shrugs his shoulders.
"I don't really know, what about you?"
"I um have no idea..." I tell him, he laughs.
"We'll figure it out." He assures me, in a few minutes we head out the door to go get breakfast. I don't eat much because I'm worried. I almost wish I didn't get 1st place, because now I have to choose first. I have about 3 hours left to think and I have no idea what to pick.
I look around the table and see Will and Christina sitting next to each other, I can see their fingers linked together under the table. To my left is Uriah who's getting glaze from a doughnut on Marlene's face. Lynn sits in silence, like me, watching Uriah and Marlene. When I look away from them I notice Shauna and Zeke aren't here.
I look around and see that nobody seems to notice Zeke and Shauna's absence.
"Where's Zeke and Shauna?" I whisper to Tobias, he shrugs his shoulders,
"Sleeping in?" He asks, that's when Shauna sprints in the room.
"Girl talk, now!" She shouts, pulling me out of the room. Christina, Marlene, and Lynn follow us into the bathroom. She starts hyperventilating,
"Zeke and I..." She tries to go on, but we have to calm her down first. "Zeke and I just found it, we... I'm pregnant." She manages to get out. The reactions range from excitement to horror. Nobody says anything, I I'm too shocked.
"Really?" I ask, she nods her head.
"We're absolutely sure, we thought there was a chance a little while ago, but now we know for sure." I congratulate her, but Lynn interrupts.
"You mean you're keeping it?" Lynn shouts, "You can't keep it! You're only 15!" I stare at Lynn, she of all people should understand, Lynn and Shauna were both born in Dauntless, this is normal here. Lynn is Shauna's sister, can't she just be happy for her?
"It's none of your business. I can keep the baby if I want to, our parents were only 16 when we were born!" Shauna shouts,
"Calm down, guys." Marlene says,
"Yeah, let's just talk about it." Christina sides with Marlene. Lynn groans and stomps out the door, glaring at Shauna.
"Shauna, it's okay, you can do whatever you want, it's your life." I comfort her. She nods and puts on a brave face, but I can tell she is close to tears. Shauna and Lynn always had a close relationship, they weren't just sisters, they were best friends. Of course Shauna is hurt by this.
After a little while we go back to the cafeteria to find the boys waiting for us with Zeke there. Shauna goes to hug him. We tell them all the story of what happened, and they say Lynn didn't come back. I decide to go look for her, I have to find out what made her act like that.
I wander around the compound for a while with no luck. I ask around and the only person who's seen her says she ran in the direction of the training room, yet when I go there, it's empty. After another hour of searching, I give up and settle down near the chasm, listening to the water hit the rocks.
I sit there for a while, so consumed in my mind that I don't hear the footsteps behind me.
"Get up." I hear a familiar voice say, I turn my head and see Eric.
"What do you want?" I ask,
"Time to choose your job." He says, pulling me off the floor.
"Don't touch me." I spit, and I walk away. I make my way to the pit where we will do the choosing with a bunch of emotions running through me. I'm angry, scared, nervous, confused, and upset. Seeing Eric reminded me of things I don't want to remember, and now as I go to claim first place in Dauntless initiation, I feel weak.
Not 30 seconds after I walk in the pit, I am being called up to choose my job. I make my way to the stage and choose...
So sorry for the cliff hanger, but I want you guys to tell me what her job should be! Please tell me any ideas! Please R&R, thanks for reading!
