Zeke and Shauna put there fists in the air, whooping as loud as they can,

Christina yells something about Tris as loud as she can, Caleb is smiling at the ceiling, and I'm just standing there. Amar puts his hand around my shoulder "you know four. She was good for you. And she changed you in ways you don't know."

I look at his with my eyebrows creased together, confused. But all he does is shake his head and smile.

"Four. Did you love her?"

I croak out my answer, my throat dry. "Yes."

"And do you still love her now?"

"Yes."

A tear spills down my cheek.

"That's all that matters. You know, she probably misses you like hell up there. But she has her parents, will, Marlene, Uriah..and you have us."

I can't help it. I smile. Not because I'm happy, but because it's true. At-least I want it to be.

Amar let's go of my shoulders and I walk back to my friends.

Zeke looks at me, and for once, he doesn't tease me. And he doesn't say anything about the tear on my cheek.

"Hey four, wanna face one of your fears today?"

He smiles that dangerous, fearless, dauntless smile. I look back at him, knowing what he means. She loved doing this.

I nod.

"Absolutely"
