A/N: Hey guys! So this is a remake of the other story of the same name that I deleted, so i'm just rewriting it basically. Takes place after Allegiant and Tris is alive! Oh and Uriah.
Tris awoke in a daze, blinded by the bright light and the whiteness of the room she was in. She was in a great deal of pain and for a moment couldn't recall what happened. She had an IV in her left hand which was connected to a plastic bag with a clear liquid dangling from a silver pole. Several places on her torso and her back were bandaged tightly with white gauze.
That's impossible. Why am I alive? She thought, sitting up.
Someone grunted, causing for her to turn and see Tobias asleep at her bedside.
"Tobias." She said, shaking him awake with her free hand.
"Tris! Thank God you're awake. The doctors thought that you would never wake up." He said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"I don't understand. How am I even alive?"
"The doctors worked around the clock to save you and keep you alive. You had a pretty high fever and after a few days, the wounds got infected so they put you in a medically induced coma while they treated it."
"How long was I out?" She asked, knowing that she had been out for at least a week.
"About two months." Tobias answered, taking her hand in his.
Tris didn't have time to respond when a young, brunette woman entered.
"Glad to see you're awake, Tris. I thought you'd never wake up. I'm doctor Marin. I was in charge of treating you these last couple of months," The young doctor answered, smiling softly at her, "how do you feel?"
"Sore." Tris answered, sitting up once more, cringing at the pain that shot through her.
Doctor Marin nodded, "I'll prescribe some pain medication before you and your friends head home."
Tobias' gaze snapped in the direction of the doctor, confused, "What do you mean?"
"They decided to give the faction system one more chance. However, you're welcome to stay here if you don't want to go back." She answered, sighing as she went towards the door, "I'll send your friends in. I'm sure they will want to see you and you can make a decision together." She added, leaving the room.
Moments later, Christina came barreling through the door, Zeke and Uriah walking in behind her. Uriah had woken up at the last minute before his family decided to pull the plug, which made everyone sigh in relief.
"Christina. Can't. Breathe." She choked, giving Christina the signal to release her.
"What do you think? Should we go back?" Zeke asked, looking down at the white tile floor of the hospital room.
"Honestly? I do. That place has caused so much pain, but we also had some good times too. The good times out weigh the bad times by a long shot. We could also use some closure, you know? Come to terms with everything that's happened." Tris said, shrugging as she tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
"I agree. We can't dwell on the past. We need to come to terms with it."
"You just agree because she's you're girlfriend!" Uriah exclaimed, speaking for the first time since entering the room and smacking Tobias upside the head, only receiving a glare in response.
"So, we're going back?" Christina asked, crossing her arms and looking at her friends.
Tris nodded, silently wondering if this was just another mistake that she couldn't afford to make.
A/N: Let me know what y'all think! Please review :)
