A/N: I am so very sorry about not posting yesterday! But I have a good exuse! First enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 38 Uriah
Marlene knocks on the door to Hector and Lynn's mom's apartment. I stand behind her with my hand on her shoulder. I don't even have to look at her to know she's crying. Lynn's mom opens the door.
"Marlene? What's wrong, honey," Mrs. Reed asks. Marlene doesn't answer, so she turns to me. "Uriah? What happened?"
"Mrs. Reed, we have something we need to show you," I answer. She gestures for us to come in. We sit down in their tiny living room. I just hand her the note. I'm really glad I came with Marlene, she never would have been able to do this herself. Mrs. Reed looks up from the note with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry," I say.
"Thank you for bringing this, but I have to show Hector," she gestures towards the door. I nod and lead Marlene out. Once we're in the hallway she stops and turns towards me.
"Thank you, Uriah. I'm glad you came with me." I kiss her gently. She kisses me back, but then she pulls away. "Uriah," she states. It doesn't sound like a question.
"What?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to hear myself say your name." I smile. She kisses me, again. I pull away this time.
"Are you alright?"
"No," she says plainly. "And I don't think I ever will be again."
"Mar," I say. "You can't blame yourself for this."
"Uri, I know I shouldn't, but I do. I can't help it. It's okay, though."
"No it's not. Mar, you're going to worry yourself sick."
"Uriah, you don't need to worry about me."
"I can't help it!" I've had enough. She looks up at me. "Marlene, Lynn was our best friend and we lost her. I can't lose you, too."
"I'm not going to kill myself, Uriah."
"I know, but it's only been a day and your already not yourself. I love you, and I need YOU." She kisses me. I realize I just told her I love her. She pulls away.
"I love you, too, Uriah."
A/N: Aww so sweet! I guess it would be sweeter if it were under better circumstances, but this is Divergent. Okay my excuse: I've written a whole story in two days! Exciting right? It is a Divergent fanfiction and I think it's pretty unique. I havent seen anything like it before, so you should check it out! It's about Zeke and Shauna in modern times. It's almost a Divergent High, but Tris, and the rest of transfers aren't in it. If it were "Divergent times" it would be the year between Four and Tris's initiations. It will be posted as soon as I find a title for it! I'll let you know when that is!
