URIAH'S POV
Wait what did she say. Marlene had something to do with getting her mom put in jail for who knows how long and getting her sister taken away. I need to find out ASAP. I wonder where Christina went, probably went to cool off. I hopped in the car and drive to Marlene's apartment. I have only been there once and never again because both her roommates wanted to ask me out and things got awkward. I pull up to the apartments. I get out and walk to her apartment. When I get to the door I knock. When the door opens I see Marlene. She smiles.
"Hey, babe." She kisses me and pulls away." Come in." She says. I see one of her roommates. Brittney, I think her name is winks at me. I start to sweat.
"We need to talk," I say. She nods slowly. We walk to her room. I close the door.
"Marlene I know you heard about Christina's mom." I start. She nods.
"Poor baby." She says. I nod.
"Yeah but um did you know something about the situation before it went public," I ask. Here it goes.
"Are you accusing me of telling the cops." She says. I nod.
"Why." She asks.
"Christina said to ask you I know she wouldn't lie about this," I say. I can tell when she's lying. Christina used to be in Candor part of the school before she and Tris transferred to Dauntless around their sophomore year. She taught me to pay close attention to the things they don't normally do. Marlene starts rubbing her hands together, sign number one.
"Well, I don't know what she's talking about shes lying." She said." She's lying." I shake my head.
"No she's not she wouldn't but you are. I still don't know how but I know you were involved in it some way." I'm about to walk out when she grabs.
"Where are you going." She says.
"Anywhere but here." I storm out. Brittney stops me.
"What's the rush, Uri." She asks.
"Not now Brittney." I walk out. I need to talk to Christina. I hopped in my car and drove to her house she should be home by now. I get out of the car and run to her door.
"Christina," I yell. She opens the door.
"What Uriah." She says. She sounds annoyed.
"I went to talk to Marlene," I say. She nods.
"What did she say." She says.
"She denied everything but I believe you, she did tell on your mom and I am really sorry I know you don't want pity but I really am," I say looking down.
"Don't." She says. "Don't feel guilty."
"But you were right if I didn't know her or-." She kisses me. I kiss back. She pulls away.
"At least you shut up." She says. I blush.
"Look it's not your fault its Marlene's." She says.
"How did she find out anyways," I ask. Christina shrugs.
"I still don't know but she threatens to tell and look what happened I mean I'm alone now." She says. Shrugging like it doesn't matter.
"No, you're not you have Tris and me." She nods.
"Can I come in," I ask. She nods. I go in. She closes the door.
"So what now," I say. She looks at me.
"You tell me." She says dully. We sit down on the couch. I sigh loudly. I hesitate but I grab her and squeeze it. She looks at me and smiles.
"Thanks." She says.
"Hey, tomorrows Monday," I tell her. Which means school.
"I know." She mumbles. I pull her close. She puts her head on my shoulder.
"You don't have to go you know," I say truthfully. She nods.
"I know but I rather get it over with." I nod.
"So um it's getting late you know," I say.
"Yay I better get off to bed I guess." I roll my eyes.
"At my place." She looks at me.
"Uriah." I shake my head.
"I already ask my parents they said you can use the room connected to mine," I say.
"What about my house?" She asks.
"Um, we could sale it," I say. She looks into my eyes.
"What we just can't sell my house all my memories are here and where is all this stuff gonna go." She asks. Um, where could it go um oh yeah.
"My uncle has a storage across town Tris and Four could help us even Zeke." I might have to make a phone call or two.
"I don't know it's a lot to take in." She says. I nod.
"But Chris what else can you do plus this could help you to start the healing process." Damn, I'm not the best at words. She looks at me and...
