Divergent ~ zombie apocalypse

Chapter 16

Tris's POV

I wake up in Tobias's arms.

I tug on his shirt. Trying to wake him up. I push my body to level his and breathe loudly in his face.

He stirs and his eyes flutter open.

He smiles and we go downstairs.

Zeke speaks up "vote to stay here?"

Everyone agrees except Christina.

"This place is so old and disgusting. We should find a mansion to live it. Where we could each have our own rooms and alcohol and maybe a piano and," Zeke cuts her off.

"Sure but this place is safe."

"But in Florida they have great security systems. I bet we could get into one though, it shouldn't be that hard."

He scoffs "Christina if you can get to Florida without us getting killed I will agree to it."

She sighs "whatever."

Uriah and Marlene run down the stairs hand and hand. Uriah grabs a gun.

"YES WE'LL BE CAREFUL," he screams and runs out the door.

-----------------

Marlene's POV

Uriah lays down in the grass.

He laces his fingers with mine.

We always do this. He would grab my hand and he would close his eyes and think.

He said him and his dad did it when he was younger, except he didn't hold his dad's hand.

I would sit and stare at him. and think about memory's.

We were thirteen when we had our first kiss.

At lunch a girl sat next to Uriah. She grabbed his hand and smiled. Clary Fray. I was jealous I admit. So I stormed off and went home.

I climbed in our tree house.

After school he came into the treehouse and called for me.

"Mar?"

I turned to face him.

"It wasn't a big deal okay."

"Wasn't a big deal," I scoff, "if it wasn't a big deal then why are you dating her."

"I don't want too-"

"IF YOU LIKE HER SO MUCH WHY DONT YOU JUST KISS HER." I snap

"Mar why are you so upset?"

I sigh. "I don't want you to kiss anyone before I do."

"Than kiss someone."

"I don't want to." I shoot back.

"Uh Marlene, I don't even like her."

I huff "yeah right."

"I don't want to kiss her, I wanna kiss you."

I stare at him.

"It seems conferrable, like you wouldn't tell anyone. Not even Lynn. Like I could see how it feels and not worry about after, if you would tell anyone."

I don't move.

He shrugs and sits next to me.

I lean into him. It was a sloppy kiss. He had braces and I wanted to lay my hands somewhere anywhere on his body but I didn't. Making it awkward. It was a long peck then pulled back then kissed a second time then we pulled away again blushing.

(Avery) We were 7, we were playing tag. Shauna Zeke and Uriah on one team. Me and Lynn on another.

I run up to the tree house Uriah chasing me.

I climb the stairs and he follows me.

I realize that the only way out was to either jump or get tagged. But I don't have time to react.

He pushed me off the ledge.

I was scared obviously. And started crying almost immediately.

"Mar please don't tell." Uriah pleaded.

I didn't have to. Zeke practically sprinted inside to tell their mom.

I cried for 5 minutes from surprise. 10 minutes for the pain. and 20 minutes because Uriah pushed me.

Uriah.

His mom grabbed me and held me inside while I was crying.

When I was done she wiped my face. "Where does it hurt Marie."

I pointed to my heart.

She nods "because Uriah did it?"

I nod.

*

We were 15. My mom died five years earlier. I shut almost eveyone out. Uriah, Lynn, everyone.

I was in my room. a kitchen knife in my hand. Door unlocked.

I breathed heavy.

And cut.

I cut so much.

I was bleeding, it hurt like hell. I was crying.

Uriah opened the door. Wide eyed.

He ran up to me. Grabbed the knife and threw it on the ground.

We grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer.

I blush.

He doesn't say anything, doesn't scowl, just presses his lips to the bleeding scares.

I feel them go away. not the physical ones, but the mental ones.
