Tris POV
I wake feeling deep aches all through out my body. I'm panicked for a second wondering why I am in so much pain, I didn't think you would feel pain after death. but then I remember. I survived the death serum, and I survived being shot. My eyes finally adjust to the dark room I'm in. I look to the left and see a dark figure sitting in the chair beside me, my heart rate quickens, but then I hear his voice.
"You're awake"
and all at once the tears start, I barely even noticed them until Tobias took my hand and had a look of worry on his face. I never thought I would hear his voice again. I never thought I was going to live. Yet I am in a room with him, so I must be. Or maybe this is my heaven.
"Am I alive?" I croak.
I see him grin slightly before kissing my hand lightly.
"You're alive, Tris."
I barely hear his words due to the ache I feel when his lips are against my skin. I blush slightly as if he can hear my thoughts, but the confused look on his face tells me he can't. I have the sudden urge to jump out of my bed and kiss him until the sun comes up, but the pricks of pain I feel just from breathing tell me that would not be wise. Then I think of Christina, and Caleb, Uriah.
"Uriah. Has he woken up yet?"
With that he smiles.
"When I brought Zeke and his mother back, I thought it was so they could say goodbye, but we got here and the Doctor said he's a fighter, because he's coming back to us. It may take awhile, but he's going to live Tris."
More tears spill from my eyes, leaving wet streaks on my cheek. I would usually push them away, be ashamed of them but I leave these ones for everyone and anyone to see, because they are tears of pure happiness. My friends, who're now my family have seen enough loss. Uriah would have been a great one. His smile could pull you out of the darkest places in your mind.
"I want to go see him." I let out.
"I know you do." Tobias says.
"But just as he is healing, so are you. You're lucky to be alive, please take it easy."
I see the hurt in his eyes, and I remember. That I chose to go on the suicide mission instead of letting Caleb go. I know he's not said anything yet because I just woke up. I'm glad for that, but I can't let it go now.
"I'm sorry Tobias. You have to know I never wanted to leave you, it wasn't another death wish. I just knew, I knew I could do it-"
"Stop. I know Tris. I don't want to talk about this I want to just enjoy this. We're safe right now. For the first time in a long time, and we have eachother. Can we just enjoy it?"
His pleading tone tugs at my heart and I know to let it go for now.
