Allegiant: Is This The End?

Chapter 2

Tris

I feel so great when I wake up. I see Tobias sitting with his back facing me. 'Good morning, Tobias.' He looks a little tensed. He faces me and kisses my forehead slowly.

 He replies, 'Good morning, Tris.' Something is different about him then I notice 'Why did you change your clothes?' I ask. His replies, 'I wasn't feeling very comfortable so I decided to take a shower, you should change too.'

 'Yeah, you are right.' I go to take a shower and wear simple clothes. I come back and meet a smiling Tobias. We walk together to the dormitory, our hands are entwined and Tobias is smiling. I love that smile.

 Today is an important day, isn't it? After all of this over, Tobias and I will finally have our happy time begin.

 Christina, Caleb, Cara and Peter are still sleeping in the dormitory. We didn't get time to go back to the dormitory, yesterday. Everything is so peaceful and I have a feeling that everything is going to be alright but at the same time, I feel uneasy too.

Tobias says, 'I am feeling hungry, you want to eat something?' I reply, 'No, I think I will visit Uriah.' And I wish I had not said that because a wave of guilt is swept across his face.

 'It was not your fault Tobias. Please stop blaming yourself. All of us have accepted that fact, why don't you accept it?' Then I kiss him, it was short and sweet.

 He just stands motionless and gives me a warm smile, before going to the cafeteria and I walk towards Uriah's room.

 The doctors had asked for our permission to unplug him yesterday.

 We decided to tell Zeke and their mom to see him one last time before they unplug him in another words take away his life from him. The tears forming but I hold them back. I have flashbacks of all the time we spent together with Uriah, he was, is a great friend.

 The tears are threatening to spill. I break into a short run and when I reach, I get the shock of my life.

 Uriah is wide awake. I take a deep breath and pinch myself. The pain is real so that means it is not a dream.

I realize tears are coming down my face; they are tears of happiness silly. He is still in the hospital but he is alive that is what is important.

 'Hi Uriah!' Uriah looks at me and gives me a smile. 'Hello Tris, why are you giving me that look as if how-did-this-happened?'

'Since how long you have been awake? How are you feeling?' 'Quite a while now and for your other question, I feel like dancing, no... I feel like I am zip lining nah I feel like a puppet who is hooked on to wires.' I giggle. Uriah will remain Uriah, no matter what.

I am relieved, now Tobias would stop blaming himself. Then I realize I need to tell others and Mathew to inoculate Uriah against the memory serum too. 'Bye Uriah', I say. 'Bye' and I run towards Tobias.
