How? A Divergent Fanfic

Chapter Thirty-One (Uriah's POV)

AN// Hi guys! Sorry for not updating, but here's a little bit longer chapter to make up for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I wake up I only notice one person absent from the room, Tris. She's always the first one to be up out of all of us though, she probably wanted some alone time, seeing as Four -- Tobias, I'm still not used to the change in name for him, never lets her leave the room by herself.

Marlene stirs restlessly in her sleep, in the bed next to mine, she's been having nightmares a lot lately, but it's not something she wanted to talk about, every time I try to ask her about it she shrugs it off as if it's nothing, but I can tell it's something.

I respect that she doesn't want to talk about it, but if it's bothering her so much she can't sleep then I feel like I have to help her. I care a lot about her, when she's hurt, I'm hurt. I don't think she understands to the extent of how much I love her.

She may not be able to say that now, but I'll give her time until she's sure that she does love me too, but I'm sure once she's ready there won't be a doubt in her mind about saying that.

Tris and Tobias always say it and I feel a twinge of jealousy towards how easily it comes to them. They have been dating for -- what did Tris say again? The thought slips my mind, until the memory resurfaces, four months, I remember, four months they have been dating, Tris was unconscious for two of those four months though.

How are they always so confident around each other?

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Tobias sitting up in the bed diagonal to mine, stretching as he does. He looks over to the side of the bed which Tris is absent from.

He immediately notices and stands up from his bed, causing a loud creaking noise to run through the room. Tobias grits his teeth possibly thinking it could wake up Zeke who is in the bed next to his, a Zeke who doesn't wake up on his own is not a good Zeke.

He of all people should know this considering his mistake of throwing water on him last year before the new initiates came.

It was hilarious to watch, Zeke chased him around the compound for thirty minutes or so until an out of breath Four came back screaming for his life. I don't think I've ever seen Four as scared as he was that day.

Four walks over to the bathroom, when he comes out his hair is more tamed than it was before and he has changed clothes. He speed walks to the door, but I stand up and catch his arm before he can get there.

"Where are you going?" I ask him, but I have realized that he said something at the same time I did.

"No, what the hell are you doing?" Four growls quietly so that he wont wake Zeke.

"No, where are  you going?" I ask, talking as quietly as i can, but that he could still hear me.

"I'm going to take a walk,"  He explains, wringing his arm out of my grip and continuing on his path towards the doorway. I wonder why he never leaves Tris alone. I mean yes, she does put her life in danger, but maybe she wouldn't if he gave her some space.

I turn back towards Marlene, I missed her so much, I hated the fact of her being dead so much that I used to think that if I missed her enough that maybe, just maybe she would come back.

My wish had come true, I'm so glad I get to see her again. The thought of never seeing those eyes again, or feeling the warm bubbling sensation I get in my stomach when her lips are on mine was and is just too much to bare.
