Divergent Christina+Uriah Fan Fic

Part Three

After we had spent an hour outside, myself being warmed from Uriah's body heat, Uriah took me to the chasm. It was getting very late, and I was starting to drift off. Every time I would just look up at his face, and my body wouldn't allow itself to shut down.

I kept resisting the urge to grab his hand, or touch him in any way. This was our first night knowing that we both cared for the other. I didn't want to push him away accidentally. I didn't want to ruin myself again. If I lost Uriah, I'd lose myself. If he died, I would die. I wouldn't be okay with seeing a world without him. What sort of life is one without love? I've no goals to meet, friends can fade, and I'm not in the best situation to be with my family.

"Listen to the water Christina," Uriah said quietly.

I look at the enraged water, and listen to its screams. I remember hanging over it, praying to someone- I wasn't sure who- that I'd be saved. Back then, I held on only for Will. Now I'd have to hold onto my life for Uriah.

"What about it?" I asked. My thoughts wondered constantly.

"It's loud right? Well, if the waters weren't strong you wouldn't be able to hear it well. You're like these waters, Christina. You're strong, and you stand out because of it. You were the first chasm that ever captured my attention. Ever since, your beauty, words, everything- has been pounding in my head. Now I wouldn't ever jump into this chasm, it's too stupid, risky- you've surely heard that whole speech when you first got here. But you know what? You're a risk I'm willing to take. I want you Christina, and I pray this isn't a one night thing. I'll want you forever. Until I fall with the Dauntless, please don't leave me," Uriah said, his heart poured out, and his eyes desperately searching for me.
