Christinas P.O.V. WARNING!!! FEELS BELOW!!! Haha that sounded odd.... BUT BE PREPARED TO CRY!!!! --- The next morning, my body is there, in Fours bed, but I am not. I am dead. No! I cant be dead. I cant. Cant. Please. PLEASE! No. I try to lift my arm, but I do not succeed. I. Am. Dead. FOUR!! I try to scream. I scream as loud as I can. No sounds come out of my mouth. Please please please let this be a dream or just a feeling. Please. Im not ready to die! Christina. No. No. No. Fours eyes spring open and he takes my pulse. Help me! I scream. He is weeping. I AM NOT DEAD. HA. I know Im not because I can vaguely feel my heart beating. But I want him to think I am. I want him to see what its like. I keep my eyes closed and prey he doesnt notice my breathing. He gets out of the bed. When I hear the door slam, I laugh. I get out of the bed and run to my new hide out. Leave all my stuff, my life. This place is where I spend the next two years. Once, I went to his secret little pond. He was there, crying, holding the animals he named after me. Im okay, I whispered. I let the wind carry it toward him . He heard me. I ducked quickly in the brush. Morgan sees me. She nudges my hand with her tiny little head. I laugh lightly, petting her. --- Two years later... I wonder how hes been. Has he moved on? Has he found someone else? I decide to see how long it takes me to be noticed. I put on white jeans, a light green sweater, and my boots. The outfit I was wearing when he told me he wasnt dead. I go to the pond first. He is there, crying. I notice the flowers laid beside a little white stone and I have tears in my eyes. He built me my own little grave. He hasnt forgotten. He hasnt moved on. Morgan comes up to me, as she does every time I come here, and nudges my hand. Morgan, I whisper. Hug Four. She hops into his arms. Buster comes up to me next. Ive grown quite fond of him. How you doing, Buddy? I say, shaking his paw. He bear hugs me. Go bear hug Four, I say. He does. Then, of course, Tris the deer head butts me. Go head butt Four, I say. She does. He laughs. Still just as weird, he says. Its good to hear his voice again. I love you, I whisper, and he hears it. I swear Im going crazy. Im turning into Zeke. HELP. He says to Buster. So Buster licks his face. I laugh. Not so pleasant, is it? I whisper. I walk back to the compound. Tris sees me first, and yanks me into her office. Are you real? She slaps both of my cheeks. Yes, Im real. Hug me already. I say. She hugs me so tight I cant breathe. Its so good to see you! She squeals. Keep it down, okay? I want to see if he notices me. I say. He goes to meetings in tears. He never stops crying. He hasnt gotten rid of a single one of your things. Hes going to notice. She says. I saw him today at his little pond out in the woods. He was crying. I say. Go walk around. See if he notices. Tris says, pushing me out the door. The terrible thing is I see him, walking in from the pond. I walk ahead of him. II swear Im seeing things... He mumbles. Maybe not, I counter, not turning around. He ignores this. Its time for breakfast, so he walks into the dining hall. I follow him. Uriah, Zeke, and Tris are there. I put a finger to my lips and stand behind him. They nod slightly. So I guess tomorrow I have to test people for a new Candor rep. He says. No, you dont. Not if youd turn yourself around, I whisper. Im hearing things now. Maybe I should move. He says. Bro, look behind you, but try not to wet yourself and or scream, Zeke says. What did you do? He asks. Nothing. Just turn around. Zeke says. Whats behind me? Four says. Something beautiful, Tris says. I swear if you bought me a unicorn, Four says. JUST TURN AROUND. Uriah says. Four turns around slowly. He just stares at me. Am I dreaming? He says. Well, I dont know what youre doing, but Im standing behind you. I say. Are you seriously standing there right now? Zeke, did you make a stuffed animal out of my dead girlfriend? Four says. I stuffed nothing. Zeke says. Are you sure? Four says. If I was a stuffed animal, could I do this? I kiss him. Im not losing my mind? Four says calmly. Nope. I say. Well then I think I am about to die. He says. Oh shut up and hug me already. I say. He pulls me into his lap. I missed sitting like this Well now I dont have to test a bunch of Candor, he says. Perfection. --- ~Mockingrose
