One Choice Will Change You II Divergent AU

Chapter 43

"Jake and I had our first fight," I tell her

"That's tough, what was it about?" She asks

"He says I made the wrong call acting like that on the train. That I almost got myself, and everyone else killed" I say

"Oh," Katherine replies

"I mean, I guess..." I start, but then stop

"What?" Katherine says

"I guess, he's not wrong," I say

"Hm," Katherine says "Well I am definitely staying out of this"

I laugh a little and says "Yeah"

"You guys will be fine though. He loves you, you guys will pull through"

"Thanks, Kath" I smile at her

"No problem Rose," Katherine says, slinging an arm across my shoulders

"What are you two talking about?" Jess says coming up to us, slinging her arm across my shoulders too from the opposite side

"Jake," I say

"Ah, ya I saw. Looked messy" Jess says, looking forward

I keep my eyes on her until she realizes. "What?" She asks

"You have no chill," Katherine says

We all laugh and keep walking to the warehouse, talking on the way there. When we reach close enough I move to the front, and Jess and Katherine follow behind me. We walk in, and just like before I see the factionless swarming around inside.

"Ah, look who decided to come back," The man from when we first came says

"Nice to see you again too, sir," I say sarcastically, joking with him

He laughs a little and then, a black-haired lady appears in front of me.

"Rose," My mom says "You came back," She says smiling

"Yes, I did. Tobias couldn't make it, but he says hi" I say. I know he didn't say hi, but it might make her feel better

"Ah," She says smiling again "Well of course I'm glad you came but was there something you needed or?"

"No, I just thought it was time I saw you again. You're here now, and I can't ignore it forever. Might as well get to know you again right?" I tell her

She smiles and pulls me into a hug, so I hug her back. "That was all I've ever wanted to hear," she says.

I smile at her and she says "It looks like you've changed a bit from the last time you came" She says, touching my hair, keeping a hand on the inside of my elbow

I laugh and say "It's just some blue dye"

"Oh, how rude of me, are these your friends?" She asks, pointing to my friends behind me

"Yes that's Jess, Katherine, Jake, Jonathan, Emma, and Dean, who I forgot was here," I say pointing to each of them

"Wait yeah, why are you here?" Jake asks Dean

"You don't think I wanted to see the long lost mother. I had to see if you were telling the truth or not," Dean says "Plus I'm friends with Jess so I came along"

"Ah" Is all I say.

"Oh come, let's talk. Would you guys like something to eat?" My mom asks

"Oh no, we just had dinner," I tell her. I don't want to take any food away from the factionless, and I think everyone else thinks the same, so they all say 'no' as well. We walk over to where there are couches and sit down, Jake sitting next to me. We don't say anything to each other, so I'm glad when Katherine begins to ask my mom questions.
