"He was tall," She starts. "He smelled like freshly cut grass and basketball courts. He was my best friend." She paused, "I can't explain it all… I think you understand that. But I want everyone to know that Augustus was the best thing that ever happened to me. He's the reason I was ever able to get on an airplane. Augustus helped me live my dreams, and we made new ones to chase. That's the only way I can keep living without him."
As I close my eyes, Hazel's words mingle with the sweet sound of Tris' laugh. "She's right, Tobias," Tris whispers, and her face fades away as a tear falls from my chin to the floor.
I know I have to keep living.
I'm trying.
But I wish it wasn't so hard.
