(No longer on hold. I realized how many people are actually enjoying the story XD. Thanks for all the support. I love you guys!)

(The ending has been modified)

Lynn's POV

I wash Marlene's clothes. I fold her laundry. I clean her apartment. I cook her food.
She's my bestfriend and now she's gotten pregnant. I always expected her to be the first girl to pick up a guy, but I never imagined her getting pregnant at this age. Which I mean, it's not her fault because of Peter and all. But Marlene doesn't know if the father is Peter or Uriah. URIAH! My two bestfriends just casually having romance behind my back. I don't know what to do anymore. I help Marlene live, I give people tattoos in the tattoo parlor, I work at the fence sometimes, but life is boring. If I could go back and live life when I was younger then I would do it in a heartbeat. I miss being young and free. Not having to worry about defending dauntless from outside the fence. Life would be great. But it sucks now. I feel as if there's nothing to live for.

"Do you guys need anything?" I ask Uriah and Marlene. They're laying down in bed together and being lazy. Uriah doesn't have to work today so this is what they spend their precious time doing. I wonder if Marlene has even thought about the fact that that baby is most likely Peters. What will she do if Peter wants to keep the baby with her? Marlene will be a total wreck.

"No," Mar says.

Uriah looks at me and smiles. "I could use a piece of cake," he smirks. I sigh.

"Get your own cake," I tell him. "I'm not your maid. I meant if you seriously needed anything not just wanted it."

Uriah frowns. "Lynn just get me a slice of cake and don't be lazy," he says.

I let out a laugh. "Me? Lazy? That's you pansycake."

"Lynn get him a piece of cake," Mar widens her eyes and gets a sassy look on her face.

"I'm not getting you a piece of cake when you are fully able to," I snap back at Uriah.

Uriah rolls his eyes. "Quit being rude Lynn." There's seriousness in his voice.

"I'm not being rude-" I start.

"Yes you are," Uriah says.

"YOU GUYS TREAT ME LIKE CRAP!" I scream. "YOU ACT LIKE YOURE BETTER THAN ME AND THAT YOU DESERVE MORE THAN I DO. WELL GUESS WHAT? IM NOT HELPING YOU TWO WITH ANYTHING ANYMORE SO GET YOUR OWN LIVES AND QUIT TRYING TO HAVE CHILDREN!!" I storm out of the room. What have I done? Anger just overtook me.

Marlene's POV

"Uriah," I whisper.

Uriah stares at the door where Lynn just ran out.

"Go get her," I say. "We need to apologize."

"She's the one who should apologize," Uriah states.

"Just please go get her," I ask him. Uriah shakes his head no. Lynn was right. I treat her like crap. She's not a maid and she shouldn't be treated like one. She's my bestfriend and I need her in my life.

"Fine," I say. I get up out of bed and run to go find Lynn.

Uriah tries to stop me but I push him away. I run to the chasm and see Lynn sitting down beside it.
"Hey," I say. "Lynn."

Lynn turns around and looks at me. "I'm sorry for acting like a-"

"No," I interrupt her. "Don't be sorry. You're right Lynn. I treat you like crap. You're my bestfriend and I should act like you are. When nobody is there for me, you are. I realize that I take it for granted and I shouldn't. I am so sorry for everything I've done to you and-"

Lynn immediately pulls me into a hug. She's crying. I hold her tight.

I hear a voice from across the chasm and know exactly who it is. I don't answer, I ignore and continue to comfort Lynn. I hear footsteps and feel a tug on my shirt. I slowly pull away from Lynn. She's stopped crying now. I turn around and see Peter standing there. I haven't seen him since-
"Marlene," he says and an evil grin appears on his face.

I try and run away but he grabs me by the wrist and pulls me towards him.
"Let go of me," I jerk my wrist away and try to run.
Peter puts his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. He whispers into my neck.
"I missed this," he says.

"STOP!" I scream and try to get away from him. He forces me to kiss him on the lips and I stumble back. I hear loud bangs from all over the pit. Gunshots. The initiates aren't using guns today. Peter pushes me up against a wall and starts touching me all over. I try and scream, but everytime I do he pushes his lips against mine. I kick him and manage to punch him, but it has no effect.
"Things are going to change," he says. "All your friends are dead. This is a new dauntless now, ruled by Eric and I."

"What," I manage to ask.

"They're dead. That's what the shooting was," Peter states simply.

I look for Lynn and notice that she's gone. She wouldn't abandon me like this. Somebody's gotten her.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I scream and spit in Peters face. He laughs and takes my hands and puts them behind my back. I get slung against the wall and my head hits the cold rock.
Everything goes black.
