A New Love

Chapter 3

I stand there too shocked to do anything. Uriah puts a hand on my shoulder,  snapping me out of my thoughts. He whispers in my ear "Go back to the apartment I'll deal with this" "But..." I begin to protest. "No go back. I will be there in a minute. " I sighed and left but not before giving Four and Marlene one final glare.

I round the corner to go back, but I as I hear what Uriah is saying to them.  "Why would you do that to Tris? Four, she is smart,  funny, beautiful, and was a great girlfriend to you. And Marlene, you're supposed to be her friend.  What is..." BAM! Uriah was cut off by the slamming of the door

Heavy footsteps sound down the hall as Uriah leaves the apartment. He makes it to where I'm standing with a scowl on his face. When he sees me his face softens and we head back to his apartment. The walk there was silent, neither of us saying a word.

We finally reach Uriah's apartment after what feels like hours. Uriah opens the door and we go in and sit on the couch. I do my best not to, but I start to let the tears spill. All the feelings from fighting with Four these last few weeks and now this. I can't help but to let a few escape. As the tears are rolling down my face I let out a small sob. Uriah looks over and pulls me into his lap. Buring my head into his shoulder I cry harder.

After a few minutes I'm done crying and I look up embarrassed. I look at Uriah's face and immediately look back down, feeling my cheeks get hot. Then, I remember that I am still sitting on his lap and I get the tingley feeling again. A finger tilts my chin up to where I'm looking at Uriah again. He wipes a stray tear off my cheek and says softly "It's OK Tris. It's OK to cry. But, you don't to be embarrassed about it. At least not here." I nod and lay my head back on his shoulder.
