Marlene's POV
I wake up in my bed. I remember that it's Saturday and I look at the clock. It's nine in the morning. I don't know how I got here in my apartment but I do know that I had fallen asleep with Uriah on the train. I'm guessing he brought me here. I get up, take a shower, and get dressed. I decide to wear sweatpants and a comfortable tshirt because I'm not in the mood to dress real nicely today. I go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Walking in, I see Lynn sitting with Molly, Peter, and Gabe. I walk over to them and Gabe immediately begins to talk.
"Marlene," he says. "I thought you were coming to that party last night."
"Um no-," I laugh nervously. "I a uh-"
Lynn snaps her finger. "She was busy with Uriah," Lynn states.
Gabe just nods and I notice Peter staring at me. He's a total freak. I need to talk to Lynn about yesterday night. I wonder how she got home and I need to apologize about how I acted. "Lynn," I say. "Can I talk to you?"
Lynn nods but she doesn't move a muscle.
"Can I talk to you alone?" I ask.
"If you want to say anything to me," she says, "then you can say it right here."
I sigh and begin telling her how sorry I am about how I acted. How I didn't try and defend her. How I just let her jump off the train. I feel really bad about all of this but Lynn's sassy attitude doesn't change.
She sighs and gets up and leaves the table. I start to walk away. When I turn around I accidentally bump into Uriah.
"Sorry," I laugh.
He smiles. Oh lord his smile. "It's fine."
I smile back at him and he looks like he's about to say something when Peter walks up.
"Uriah," Peter says.
"What?" Uriah looks annoyed.
"Eric told me that he wants you to meet him at his office this afternoon around 5 o'clock." Peter states.
"Yeah okay whatever," Uriah says.
Peter just nods and walks away.
"Why do you think Eric needs you? I ask.
Uriah shrugs and changes the subject.
"Let's go," he says.
I follow him, not knowing where we are going. We walk down the halls in dauntless and through the pit. We end up at Uriah's apartment. He unlocks the door and motions for me to go in. I do so and he comes in after.
"What are we doing here" I ask him.
"I just wanted to get out of there," he says. "Everyone today is really freaking me out."
I laugh slightly and so does he. I sit on the couch and Uriah sits beside me. He wraps his arm around me and I lean against him. He sighs. "We should go out," he says. Well that escalated quickly. "Wait what?" I say. He nods and I can't believe what he just said. "Don't act like you didn't understand me," he says. I feel myself blush and he smiles at me.
"Are you sure?" I laugh nervously.
He nods again and I find myself smiling. He laughs and pulls me on top of his lap. I giggle and he kisses me on the forehead. We stare into each other's eyes for a while and then he begins pulling me closer to him. I move closer and then all of a sudden, our lips are pressed together. It feels like a thousand bolts of electricity are shot through my body. I run my hand in his hair during the kiss and he smiles. I pull back and lay my head on his chest. He smells so good. "I love you Marlene," he says. My cheeks are redder than ever but I reply with a smile on my face. "And I love you Uriah Pedrad."
***
I leave Uriah's house at 4:30 because he's supposed to meet Eric at 5. I walk back to my apartment. I open the door and start to go in. I think I hear something or someone but I realize that it's just the tv. I slip off my shoes and walk into my bedroom. As soon as I open the door, something from behind me puts a hand on my face. I try and scream but they cover my mouth. I can't see who's behind me. I try and kick my legs to get away but the person tightens their grip on me. I scream but only light mumbles come out. "Shut the hell up!" The voice screams at me. I can't figure out who it is. I keep screaming, ignoring the comment about shutting up. I kick the person and things around in the room. I hear a rattle and feel a cold circular touch on my temple. A gun. "You shut up or I shoot." I kick around and get slammed on the bed. Then I see who it is. Before I can scream I feel a sharp pain in my side. Then I black out.
