Wounded Love - Aleternative Allegiant/Divergent Trilogy Ending

Part 2

When I open my eyes again, I see I'm surrounded by all my friends and my one family member. I guess after Caleb's selfless act of coming in to grab my body before it was too late, does actually show he cares about me.

And maybe even loves me.

He only admitted that to me once when we didn't even know what love truly was.

Tobias, Caleb , Christina and even Peter are surrounding my bed laughing and smiling down at me probably cracking some disturbing jokes. I don't understand why Peter is in here, and I'm assuming Christina read my mind.

"He's only in here because he doesn't know where else he is going." Everybody laughs except me and Peter.

"Um..what exactly does that mean?" I ask.

"He's a coward." Tobias speaks up.

"That vial of memory serum I had for Marcus or Evelyn, well he took it so he could start his life over instead of facing the reality he made for himself."

What a coward.

But I do actually think this might be somewhat better for Peter. At least he won't be a Candor smart mouth who enjoys attempting to kill people who are better than him out of his jealousy, anger and fear.

But even with his new personality, I still won't be able to look at him differently or even as a friend. To me, he will always be Peter. And I truly do not like Peter and I never will. No matter how nice this new Peter is to me, I'll never change my emotions towards him.

I try to sit myself upright again. Mostly because I want to be close to my friends. And because I want out of here. I need to see what I've done. I've been in this place too long already. Even though two days for a couple

bullet wounds is considered a short stay, I still have to see the mark I left on this world for myself. So I speak up.

"When exactly do I get out of this hell hole?" I sound moody but I really don't care.

"Dang what got into you little miss cranky?" Christina says with a chuckle. I missed this Christina. This is the Christina I met on the train to the dauntless compound for the very first time. She is finally starting to come back for me.

We're back to normal.

"Nothing got into me, I just want to go home."

" Well hate to break it to you sister but we have to find ourselves our home again." Tobias says with a smile.

Then my nurse comes back in to give Tobias instructions on how to take good care of me. I finally got discharged and then we're off. In search of our new home. But first we have to take a couple of stops along the way.

* * * *

Luckily, even with all my blood that was lost and bullets the were embedded into my flesh, I'm still able to walk. I would hate to be that much of a burden to Christina, Tobias or Caleb by having to be pushed around

everywhere I went.

The first stop I needed to take before looking for my new home with Tobias was to see Uriah. Good old Uriah who is living off a machine.

Tobias, Caleb, Christina and I all head down to the extensive care unit. And there he is. Lifeless Uriah. It seems like just yesterday I met him during the initiation process during my zip lining adventure. The moment I realized

I wanted to be as free as I felt on the zip line all the time. The moment I realized I wanted to feel that rush for the rest of my days. And the moment I knew for sure that I, Beatrice Prior was dauntless.

I can see the hurt and grief on Tobias's face already. More guilt. I want to reassure him that Uriah being in this state is not his fault necessarily, but he'd just blow off my statement anyway. I doubt he needs reminded for the tenth

time from me.

Without thinking, I walk into Uriah's room and see his mother sitting at his bedside with small tears rolling down her cheeks in a slow orderly motion. While his brother Zeke just looks lost while sitting by his brother with a

still, blank emotion on his face. I give them both a smile and go closer to Uriah with Tobias closely behind me. I kind of like how he doesn't want me to be out of his grasp any longer. I find it attractive to see this soft side of him.

Once I get close enough to Uriah, the tears start to roll. I didn't get to know him or visit him as much as I had wished, but I know today has to be goodbye just by the expression of his mom, Zeke and the doctor in front of us.

I step back and let Christina and Caleb say their goodbyes and then Tobias. He starts to cry. Tobias. My former DAUNTLESS instructor is crying over just another one of his initiates. But I guess when you basically were abandoned or hurt by your family, you get attached to many people you come in contact with. We were some of his only friends who didn't leave. Luckily I'm still here with him.

Tobias is right by his side. His friend. Over all the events that had happened these past few months, Uriah was there for him when I couldn't be. It would basically be like me having to say goodbye to Christina. Or even worse, my brother. With that in mind, I start crying some more and Christina embraces me in a tight and long hug. I guess out of this whole twisted world I've been living in my entire life, I have learned that in my mind, blood and love come before a faction or home any day, because honestly, as long as I have my friends and my one family member by my side I could live anywhere and still feel home. But my life wouldn't be whole without my partners in crime by my side.

Tobias steps back from Uriah and holds me for what feels like ages. I have never seen Tobias in such a vulnerable state. It's different but nice at the same time. It shows he's human and can love just as much as he can hurt.

Uriah's mom and brother tell the doctor it is fine to pull the plug. The five of us form a semi-circle in front of Uriah's bed and all say we love him and will miss him along with all our tears dropping down our blushed cheeks. The doctor pulls the plug, and the monitors go flat. Uriah is gone. His cheery peppy smile will never be seen again in front of my eyes. Only in my memories, and possibly my dreams. He will be dearly missed but always remembered. Another lesson I've learned from this society is you have to carry on and move on quick, rather than living in your grief. I learned that when I witnessed my mother's murder right before my eyes and almost got shot on site. I still miss her to this day and not a day goes by that I don't think of her or all the things she did for me.

In our attempts to move on, we all say goodbye to Uriah again, Zeke and their mom. I give all three of them hugs as a symbol of my sympathy and a symbol of my love. When I hug Zeke and his mom they both whisper a thank you into my ear. I assumed it was to do with being with Uriah this entire time, but instead they were thanking me for my courageous acts of selflessness to free our society and create peace. And with that, we all exit Uriah's room and head towards the hospital exit now moving forward with our lives, in search for a better one.
