Living On

by Q-girl900

The war is over. Those who made have rebuilt their lives. It's time for them to start Living On. (Marlene and Will are still alive and Shauna is not paralyzed. Each chapter is told from some one elses POV. I know there is a lot of these out there, but I decided to give it a shot. It's rated T. Has some Other Characters in it.)

37. Chapter 37 Uriah

A/N: Hello!

Chapter 37 Uriah

After Zeke leaves I go back into my room. Marlene is still asleep. Lay back down next to her. I missed her while we were broken up. I still don't know what I did wrong. I forgot an anniversary or something. I love Marlene, I really do, but I'm not the kind of guy to remember stuff like that. I'm glad we're together again. She starts to move around, so I roll to look at her. Her eyes flutter open.

"Hey," she says shyly.

"Hey." She refuses to meet my gaze. "Marlene, are you okay?" She nods, but she still won't look at me. She's obviously uncomfortable being in bed with me. I get up, hoping to make her less uncomfortable. "Did you hear Zeke and I talking," I ask remembering what he said about her being in my bed.

"Um… well… maybe part of the conversation," she says. "I could only really hear Zeke talking you we're kind of quiet." I shake my head. 'I'm going to kill Zeke.'

"Marlene, Zeke was just being Zeke. I'm really sorry." She only nods, so I sit back down next to her. "That's not what's bothering you, is it." She shakes her head no. "Lynn?"

"I just can't believe I didn't see it."

"Mar, no one saw it. Not even Shauna."

"But, I was with Lynn all the time! She never said anything! And she never showed that she was unhappy. Well, it was Lynn she was always unhappy."

"Marlene, I really hate saying this because I loved Lynn. We all did, but she could have dealt with this in another way. She could have said something, but she never did." I expect her to be mad at me. To get up and leave. But once again Marlene surprises me by kissing me. It startles me at first, but soon I find myself kissing back. She pulls away, but doesn't look at me. She gets up.

"I have to go."

"Mar, I-," I begin.

"No Uri, I'll be back. I promise. There's just something I have to do," explains. I feel better when she says she'll be back. She starts to go, but I stop her.

"Marlene, what are doing?"

"Uriah, it's just a thing… I've got to do."

"Then, I'm going with you."

"No, Uri. I have to do it myself."

"Mar, please."

"Fine," she agrees. We walk out of my apartment together. She doesn't seem mad that I'm with her. She seems almost relieved. She leads us down some hallways I don't recognize, but I know exactly what we're doing when I see where she stops.

A/N: Cliffie! Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
