TRIS POV

I checked on him every day, to change the flowers on his bedside table, kiss him gently, and sink deeper into my helplessness. Every day, deeper, deeper, until I couldn't take it anymore. The doctors told me he had been under for too long, that my love was slipping away. You know how everyone says that you never realize what you have, and how much you love it until it is gone? Well, slowly, softly, I began coming to the infirmary less and less, wallowing in my depression. I never knew I loved him that much.

I used to feel young, joking, happy. Though the elixir of life still courses through my veins, and my flesh is still young, I feel as though I have aged twenty years, apparently that's what sadness does to you.

Eventually, I stopped even looking at the infirmary. Christina had to haul me out of bed every morning, dress me, and take me to the cafeteria, then feed me, where everyone averted their eyes away from me, steadfast in their silent oath to avoid depressed little Tris.

Lauren has grown bigger still, and the child is a boy. She and Aaron are engaged, and are to be married next year.

Every night as I sleep, he haunts my dreams. I want to forget him, wasting away in his coma, staying under too long. Sometimes I awake and the words five months play on my lips.

My new least favorite number is Five. I say this because it is the number of months that Lauren is along, the number of months my love has been away, and the only number between Four and Six.
