Hello! I read this fanfiction called Weakness by quoththeblackbird and saw the author's note on daring us to right a story where Tris gets sick. So, I decided to write one because there really isn't a lot of fanfictions where Tris gets sick and Tobias takes care of her. I hope you all like this story!
I do not own Divergent; Veronica Roth does.
Chapter 1
I couldn't believe what I saw when I looked at the board. I came in first; I was officially a Dauntless member now. My friends, Christina and Will, made it too but I was upset when I saw Peter's name on the board. At least Molly and Drew didn't make it so that makes me feel a little relieved. I saw Tobias walked up to me and I smiled at him.
"Do you think a hug would give away too much?" Tobias asked once he got to me.
"You know what? I really don't care." I leaned in and kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck. Tobias wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. We continued to kiss until I heard a small cough behind me. We parted and I turned around to see Christina and Will standing there. Will's mouth was hanging open and Christina had an eyebrow raised with a small smirk playing on her lips. I knew that by the look on Christina's face meant that she and I needed to talk. "I have to go," I said, looking back at Tobias.
"You're coming to the party right?" Tobias asked; I was taken back by that. "What party?"
"Zeke's throwing a party for those who made initiation, it starts around 8. Will I see you there?"
Before I could respond, Christina answered for me, "Of course she'll be there." I turned to Christina and glared at her, which she returned with a look that says you-are-going-to-the-party-whether-you-like-it-or-not.
"I'll see you tonight," I told Tobias then gave him a quick peck on the lips. Christina grabbed my arm and dragged me to the dorms. Once we arrived, we sat on a bed and Christina turned to me.
"I want you to be completely honest with me, Tris," stated Christina and I nodded for her to continue. "Did you sleep with Four just to bump up your rank?"
That was the second time today that I was taken back. "No! Christina, you know that I worked hard to get my rank. I will never go so low as to sleep with an instructor to boost up my rank."
Christina stared at me for a second before she smiled. "Ok, I know you're not lying so I'm fine with it. When did you and Four start dating?"
"It was a little after Peter, Al, and Drew attacked me at the Chasm. We started talking more then we got together."
"Now I have a reason to take you shopping," Christina almost squealed and I sighed. "Come on, Tris; don't you want Four to notice you?" I blushed and Christina smiled even bigger. "Great, it's settled."
"I didn't even say anything!"
"I could tell by your facial expressions."
I groaned as Christina dragged me out of the dorms and towards the stores.
After hours of shopping and many stores later, Christina and I were heading back to the dorms to get ready for the party. We bought at least 10 shirts, 6 skirts, 4 pairs of high heels, and 5 dresses; I was able to convince Christina to not go into the lingerie store.
Once we got back to the dorms, Christina pulled me to one of the beds and made me sit down on it. She took out some make-up and started to put it on my face. Afterwards, Christina walked up behind and curled my hair. She then gave me one of the dresses we bought and pushed me into the bathroom to change. I changed and put on the dress then looked at myself in the mirror; shocked by what I saw. In the mirror stood a girl wearing a knee-length, spaghetti strapped black dress with midnight blue sequence around the waist. The dress was low-cut and it showed off my raven tattoos. The silver eye shadow brought out my greyish blue eyes as did the black eyeliner and mascara. My curled hair lay in ringlets around my face. I couldn't believe that this girl was actually me.
Christina came in and stood beside me. She was wearing a strapless red dress with black lace around the top, middle, and end of the dress. Her short black hair was also curled and she wore the same eye shadow. "You look gorgeous!" I smiled then I felt dizzy. My head started spinning and I placed my hand on my head, hoping that would stop it. The spinning only got worse and I had to place my other hand on the counter to steady myself. I stood there for a few minutes until the spinning stopped. "Are you all right?" I looked back and saw Christina staring at me, worry on her face.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy," I answered.
"Good, cause there is no way you are missing this party. Now let's go, the party is going to start soon."
I looked at the time and saw it was almost 8. I put on a pair of one-inch black heels while Christina put on three-inch red heels. We walked out of the dorms and headed towards Zeke's apartment. On the way there, I kept getting wolf calls and whistles from other Dauntless men. I blushed bright red while Christina just laughed at me. We arrived at the apartment and Christina knocked on the door. The door opened and Uriah stood there; I could smell the alcohol from him.
"Tris! Christina!" exclaimed Uriah. "Come in, the party has just started!" Uriah stepped aside and let us in. I saw mass bodies pressed together; dancing, drinking, and talking. Uriah left us and he disappeared in the crowd. Christina suddenly turned to me.
"I'm going to find Will, go find your man," Christina said, then left to seek out Will. I squeezed through the crowd while trying to find Tobias at the same time. I got through the crowd and found myself in the kitchen. There weren't as many people here than in the other room, thankfully. I walked over to the counter and saw it lined with drinks; I couldn't tell which was which, they all looked the same.
"You look stunning," a voice whispered in my ear.
I turned around to find Tobias smiling at me. "Thanks." I kissed him then turned back to the drinks. "Do you know which is which?" Tobias chuckled then reached out and grabbed a cup. "Here, this is the only drink that isn't alcoholic."
"Are you sure Zeke or Uriah didn't spike it?"
"Tris, I was here helping them set up for the party and I saw them pouring the drinks. I know which drinks are alcoholic or not."
I nodded and took a sip of my drink. "Did you have a drink?"
"I only had one, I'd rather be aware of my night spent with my beautiful girlfriend."
I smiled then placed my cup back on the counter. I grabbed Tobias's hand and led him back to the crowd to dance.
Later that night, everyone was either drunk or close to being drunk. Tobias and I wisely stayed away from the drinks so we were the only ones not wasted. We stood in the back and watched everyone make a fool of themselves.
"This would have been funnier if we had a camera right now," said Tobias.
I looked at him. "Can't you just get the tapes from the control room?"
"No, there aren't cameras everywhere in Dauntless."
"Oh." Suddenly, my head started spinning again and I moaned when the spinning turned to pounding. My head felt like someone was taking a hammer and bashing it against my head. I clutched my head as the pounding got worse.
"Tris?" I looked up and saw Tobias's concerned face staring back at me. "Are you ok?"
"My head really hurts."
Tobias wrapped his arm around my shoulder and started to lead me out of the apartment. "I'm fine, Four," I said, trying to wiggle out of his grasp.
"I'm not taking any chances."
I sighed and let Tobias lead me to his apartment. On the way, I started to feel cold and my throat started to hurt like crazy. I didn't even realize I was shaking until I felt a jacket placed over my shoulders.
"Four," I moaned but Tobias understood what was going on. He gently picked me up and carried me to his apartment, walking a bit faster this time. We got to the apartment and Tobias opened the door. He kicked the door closed and carried me over to his bed. Tobias laid me down on it and pulled the covers to my chin. He walked off then came back with another blanket and placed that on me as well. Tobias knelt in front of me and placed his hand on my forehead. I sighed as his cool hand lay against my burning forehead.
"Tris, I think you might be sick," Tobias answered, removing his hand.
I let out a weak laugh as my eyes started to close.
"Go to sleep, Tris. I'll take you to the doctor if you aren't better tomorrow."
"Stay with me?" I asked. Tobias stared at me for a moment then moved to sit on the bed next to me. He brought me into his arms and I placed my head on his chest. Tobias kissed my head and I fell asleep minutes later.
Please review and tell me what you think. And for those of you who have read my other story, Never Alone, I will try to post another chapter this weekend. Later :)
