Divergent High

Chapter 39

Tobias POV;

Tris started to act distance from me ever since what happened. When I attempted to comfort her, she would push me away and just give me a warming smile as to say "I'm sorry."

When it was time for bed, she told me that she was going to sleep on the couch that night, because she wasn't feeling good. I tried to object, but she wouldn't have it.

I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling. God, the bed felt so empty without her. Just thinking about her being a few rooms away from me, instead of next to me, made me feel queazy.

Did I do something wrong?

I stand up, stretching out my arms as far as they could go. In the mirror, a reflection of me in long gray pajama bottoms and a black t-shirt come into view. My hair was a mess and small lines were forming beneath my eyes.

Rubbing my eyes gently, I stumble out of our bedroom. Then I hear something that breaks my heart into cracks.

I hear the sounds of Tris's muffled crying coming from the couch.

"Tris?"* whisper, making my presence known. I see her glance up at me, tears running down her face. I absolutely hated seeing her like this.

Worse of all? it was probably my fault.

"Tobias..." she whispers, coming out almost as a mumble. Cries escape from her mouth, filling the silence. I sit next to her, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and pulling her towards me.

"Tris? Whats been going on. You've been acting strange ever since we drove home. You can tell me anything."

She sniffles, staring intensely at her gray socks.

"If I tell you.. you have to promise not to be mad, okay?" she asks, her eyes quickly darting at me.

I shake my head, running my finger through her messy hair.

"You know I don't make stupid promises."

She sighs, closing her eyes tight.

"Eric... Peter... t-they..." but she started crying again before she could finish.

"They what?" I say, angered by just the sound of their names.

"T-they touched me."

It takes Tris's tight grip on my shoulder to not make me loose it. How dare they touch my tris. I should KILL them both, toss them off of the schools building.

"Tobias." Tris's quiet words spoke. I don't say anything, but I relax, letting the Tension from my body leave and build up inside my head.

"Why don't we go out and... do something?" She says, a small smile forming on her lips. I smile, playing with her hair.

"Sure. . . but don't think I won't let that go."

"Tobi-" she starts, but I don't let her finish.

"No Tris. They hurt you, physically and mentally. Do you know how much that hurts me? How it hurts me to," I exaggerate my hands in the air, "To know that my two worse enemies touched you? I won't ever let that go, and you can write it on my grave."

Tris's vision is no longer on me, but gazing on the floor. I feel a slight pain in my chest by saying it, but it's the truth.

I smile, pulling her closer. "I love you Tris, and I hope you know that."

Her eyes are closed, but a smile starts to form on her lips. "I love you too, Tobias Mason Eaton."

I lean in slowly, my lips covering hers. She wraps her arms tightly around my torso, deepening the kiss. We sit like this for what seems decades until she starts to tug at my shirt.

"Tris... are you sure about this? With everything that just happened I don't want you to feel pressured into things."

She runs her finger down my abs, back and forth from the belly button to my pecs.

"It's okay Tobias. I'm okay with this."

I kiss her forehead, mixing my fingers into her hair. "Alright, but please tell me if you need to stop. If your too uncomfortable I-"

she laughs, pulling me into a large kiss.

I shut up, and it's history from there

Uriah's POV:

"I'm coming for you Uriah!" Marlene shouts, causing me to stumble from my hiding spot. I see her glance my way, pointing a finger at me.

"Aha!" She gleams, pouncing on me. We fall down making an 'umph' sound, our laughter filling the bright skies.

"We are so childish." I point out, and she kisses my nose. "But if being childish earns me this. then so be it!" I snicker, and Marlene swats my arm.

"Let's play tag!" she exclaims, "You're it!"

She starts to bolt away from me, myself taking a while to get up. Marlene is fast, but I'm faster.

"Slow down Mar, I'm going to get you anyway!" I shout, followed by a bunch of giggles. We run to the railroad tracks, where I eventually catch up to her, but let her stay a couple feet ahead of me. She's looking back at me, laughing.

"You'll never get me!" She calls out. I stop to catch my breath, staring down at my feet. I look up to see thick black smoke fill the air. A train.

"Marlene!" I yell, but the train roars were much louder then my screams. She's still laughing at me, until I point at the train. She whips her head, standing in shock.

"Marlene mo-" but it was too late. I was too late. Marlene layed, a pool of her own blood forming on the tracks. I drop to the side of the tracks, the train rushing by me.

"Marlene!" I scream again, earning the confidence to run to her. She looked awful. Her faces was bruised and bloody, cuts from the rocks everywhere. Her bottom half was cut across her so bad that her spine could be seen through her front half.

"Mar mar?" I let out a small whisper. I knew she was gone all ready, her body soulless. The color in her eyes were gone, her mouth wide open spilling our more blood.

I lay with her, probably for hours, but I didn't care. I wanted her back. I wanted Marlene to wake up and say it was a joke, and that she's alive. I want to take her home and wrap her .j my arms, sitting by the fire place.

But she was too late, I was too late.

We were both too late.

I called Zeke eventually, my voice fairly silent. He's quiet, but he finally comes with Will and my mother.

"We called the police." Zeke whispers into my ear, but I couldn't process words to reply back.

My Marlene is gone forever, and it was my fault.

------~~~~------~~~~--------
I'm back everyone ^.^

Like I said last chapter or two ago (I think 0.0) I will be ending the story on the next chapter. Of course, I'll be writing a sequel but it won't be for a while. I'm currently working on another book (posted on my best friend hopie_dopie_22 Page) and it's called Almost Anything And it would mean a lot if you would all check it out.

So after the next chapter, a sequel will NOT be posted until at least June 20 or around there.

Thank you all, see ya around :)
