Chapter Seven
I haven't talked to Zach in like a week so I decided to take a walk and clear my head. So today I went out exploring. I never really have explored the dauntless compound before so it probably was going to be interesting. The most fascinating thing here to me is the chasm. I love how it is so beautiful but it is also a killer. I decided to move on past the chasm and get deeper into the compound.
I was about to turn a corner when a heard a man and a woman talking. "There are rumors going around that there is a world outside of this place. If people start hearing about this they are going to be curious and will want to go exploring for themselves." The man says in a hushed tone.
"I know! I have seen some pictures and it looks pretty amazing but if people leave all the factions will start to crumble and then one day there will be no one to take care of this place." The woman whispers and yells at the same time.
I start to slowly back away from their conversation. I could go to a new place and meet new people. Maybe it will be amazing out there but I can only find out by being brave and leaving this place behind me. If I do leave and I do want to return I will have to become factionless and that does not fit well in my brain.
I go to the cafeteria to get some lunch. When I walk in I search the room for Katelyn but my eyes land on the back of Zach's head. I really just need to talk to him and get this over with. I make my way over and tap him on the shoulder gently. He turns around and gets a confused look on his face.
"Can we please talk?" I ask quietly.
"Uh sure, I will be back soon guys. " He follows me out of the cafeteria and down a couple halls. "I am so sorry for just running away the other night. I should have just sat there and talked it through with you." I look up into his eyes and regret it immediately. His eyes show me that he truly was hurt by it and some of the hurt was replaced by anger.
"Well I am sorry too but I don't want a lot of drama. I want to live a care free life! I just can't trust anyone with my heart anymore. Do you want to know what my tattoo is over my heart? Well I will tell you, when I was fifteen I thought I met the love of my life. I was happy and I thought she was happy but I was wrong. I fell for her too fast and I knew it but I didn't care. But one day I get this letter from her and she wrote that she wasn't happy. She wrote that I made her life miserable." I could see that he was trying to hold back tears. "Do you know what happened after that? I walked out of my room and decided to go looking for so that we could talk but I never got to talk to her. The last time I saw her was when they were pulling her out of the chasm." Now he started choking up and a few tears fell down his face.
"I am so sorry." I say sadly.
"No I am sorry for ever having to meet you." Zach then walked away quickly.
I felt as if I just got stabbed in the heart. Did I love Zach? No, do I still love Zach? Maybe it would be best if I sneaked out disappeared from his life forever so he never felt pain when he looked at me.
I walked like a zombie back to the dorm. I couldn't believe I just messed things up with the nicest, funniest, and the most beautiful boy I have ever met. I will wake up in the morning and decide if I am going to leave or stay.
Please review! Have a fantabulous day:)
