Allegiant (Divergent, #3)

by Veronica Roth

“So what you’re saying is that if we’re not Divergent, we’re damaged,” Caleb says.

Sir you've always been damaged

George will never get to reunite with his sister, and she died thinking he had been murdered by Jeanine.

Well thats the saddest thing ever

I’m genetically damaged.

SIR NO YOU'RE GENETICALLY PERFECT

But all he says is, “Can I kiss you?”

Screaming crying throwing up he's everything

You should know all about that—you should understand why this life would appeal to me after all I’ve seen and been through.

GO OFF

“So I suppose you’ve used this as an excuse in your twisted mind for what you did,”

GOT EM!!

T— Meet me outside the hotel entrance at eleven. I need to talk to you. —Nita

T!?! OH SO YALL CLOSE NOW!?! Hmmm

“While I appreciate you showing me this,” I say, and I feel sad, and tired, “I’m not sure why it had to happen in the middle of the night.” “I thought you might want to see it. And I had something I wanted to talk to you about.”

NAH THIS COULDA WAITED

“See, I’m not really on board with being classified as ‘damaged.’”

I knew she was up to something

“I guess the Dauntless are good for something after all . . . Four,” she says, smiling a little.

Yea i don't like her

If we were alone, I would ask why I can’t be here when she talks to them, or why she bothered to bring me in when I could have stood guard outside the whole time.

EXACTLY

“Don’t throw those things in my face.”

But you literally just did the same thing………

you can’t even see past your own desperation. You went along with Evelyn because you were desperate for a parent, and now you’re going along with this because you’re desperate not to be damaged

OH WOW GAGGED

“So is being suspicious of someone’s motives just because she’s pretty,”

AAH GAGGED

I punch him in the face.

FINALLY!!!!!!

I thought I was beyond this kind of anger, but as he stumbles back with his hands on his face, I pursue him, grabbing the front of his shirt and slamming him against the stone sculpture and screaming that he is a coward and a traitor and that I will kill him, I will kill him.

F*** HIM UP!!!

“We can’t have the same behavioral expectations for those with damaged genes as we do for those with pure genes, after all.”

BRUH EYE ROLL

“You demonstrated the quality I most need in my advisers,” he says. “Which is the ability to make sacrifices for the greater good. If we are going to win this fight against genetic damage, if we are going to save the experiments from being shut down, we will need to make sacrifices. You understand that, don’t you?”

JAIL

“I don’t want to do that kind of work anymore,” Caleb says. “Oh, shut—” starts Tris, but Matthew interrupts her.

Im Tris lol

I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that’s true of beginnings, but it’s not true of this, now. I fell in love with him. But I don’t just stay with him by default as if there’s no one else available to me. I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.

THIS.IS.EVERYTHING!!!!

He gives me an odd smile. “Why did you think there was so much physical devastation in the factionless sector? There was an uprising, and we had to quell it as cleanly as possible.”

No freaking way

“Oh, are we at the insult part of the breakup?” she says. “Because I got in a lot of practice after what happened with Will. I have several choice things to say about her nose.”

LOL STAHP

“Besides,” I say, “what’s wrong with her nose?”

Ok period i need to know

“The council has made plans. Big ones.”

Now is not the time to be vague girl

I notice, however, that Peter only pretends to inject himself—when he presses the plunger down, the fluid runs down his throat, and he wipes it casually with a sleeve.

HUH!?!

“I just want to thank you,” he says, his voice low. “A group of scientists told you that my genes were damaged, that there was something wrong with me—they showed you test results that proved it. And even I started to believe it.” He touches my face, his thumb skimming my cheekbone, and his eyes are on mine, intense and insistent. “You never believed it,” he says. “Not for a second. You always insisted that I was . . . I don’t know, whole.”

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

With a quirk of his eyebrows, he bends and wraps an arm around my legs, throwing me over his shoulder.

I would DIE for this MAN! DIE!

My self-control is about to disappear in five, four, three . . .

Yea im obsessed with him

“Remember during training, when I did this?” I say, and I reach around her to press my hand to her stomach.

Kicking my feet giggling

“She died a year later during a surgical procedure to fix some of the damage. It was a fluke—an infection.”

And now im crying

“I can tell you it will involve a lot of this,” I say, and I press my lips to his.

GO HEAD GIRL CLAIM YO MANSS

“I guess I feel like it’s the only way I can escape the guilt for all the things I’ve done,” he says. “I’ve never wanted anything more than I want to be rid of it.”

Ok thats actually so sad omg

I cross the room and retrieve our guns from the counter, but itching at the back of my mind is what Tobias said yesterday—that the Abnegation say you should only let someone sacrifice himself for you if it’s the ultimate way for them to show they love you. And for Caleb, that’s not what this is.

Im scared

“I want the serum because I’m sick of being this way,” he says. “I’m sick of doing bad things and liking it and then wondering what’s wrong with me. I want it to be over. I want to start again.”

Omg thats so sad

The fire, the fire. It rages within, a campfire and then an inferno, and my body is its fuel. I feel it racing through me, eating away at the weight. There is nothing that can kill me now; I am powerful and invincible and eternal.

YEAAAAHHHHH

“Don’t move,” David says, raising his gun. “Hello, Tris.”

NOOOOOO

“I didn’t,” I say.

ICONIC

And I go gladly into her embrace.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST WAY

“Be brave.” Then he swallows. And I watch Peter disappear.

Ok actually so sad

At the sound of his name—which I have told him at least ten times since he drank the serum—he raises his eyebrows, pointing to his chest.

Lol

BUT THAT WASN’T the first time I ever saw her. I saw her in the hallways at school, and at my mother’s false funeral, and walking the sidewalks in the Abnegation sector. I saw her, but I didn’t see her; no one saw her the way she truly was until she jumped. I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.

Im literally about to throw up

There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. But sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life. That is the sort of bravery I must have now.

Tears are flowing from my eyes like literally

It doesn’t do anything obvious. But it might be able to do something in here. Then she touched her hand to her heart. Beautiful things sometimes do.
