Waiting For You
XXXXXXXXXX
"Guys, get ready."
We all stand up, ready to jump the train, hands clutching at the sides of the car. I can still imagine Tris' small body standing boldly as the train twist and turns on the tracks. She laughs a deep fruity laugh after something stupid Uriah had just said and she turns to smile at me; but she's not here - they're not here.
We jump as the train passes the dauntless sector, onto the roof of the building, my body close to scraping the gravel on the floor. We walk towards the side of the building as Zeke catches up to me.
You ready?" He asks.
"Is there no other way?" I reply without a second thought.
"Well, yeah but you're gonna have to take the stairs. But common man, everyone's gonna do this.."
He sees the look on my face and he pats my shoulder twice.
"I guess we'll see you at the bottom." he says sadly, but now's not the time for his condolence.
I take the left and pull on the heavy door, aged with rust where no one had gone this way in a long time: everyone jumps.
Except me.
I walk down the concrete stairs, finding myself in my fear of confinement again, the walls feeling like they're pressing into me: it's not real, but this time there's no Tris to help me through either.
I reach the bottom and unlatch the door, putting all my weight into forcing it open.
"Four, you made it." Zeke shouted whilst helping Christina off the net.
"Is that the last one?"
He nodded, "they're all in the pit waiting for us."
We walked in silence to the pit, now full of more people than there were initially.
"Why is everyone here?" I asked curiously.
"They all wanted to show their appreciation to...um..." He bit his lip, "Just try to stay strong."
He sighed and gestured me over to a table where all our friends were.
"Where's Shauna?" I asked him, filling the silence over our table.
"She took the elevator down, she should be here already but I'm guessing she took the long way around." He answered, "why?"
I shook my head, "just felt a bit empty."
"She's not the only one missing..." Christina said through her sighs and the tears fell down my cheeks.
"What are we even doing here?" I muttered, "she's not here anymore and I don't want everyone to suddenly butt into my life. She didn't even know half of these people!" I said, a sudden outburst of anger bubbling up inside me.
"Try telling them to go away." Zeke sighed.
I stood up and walked off, not looking back. I didn't know where I was headed but my feet seemed to know the path.
I walked down the narrow bridge overlooking the chasm and stood there: arms crossed over the railing, water spraying lightly onto my face. If I looked down, I could just make out the secret spot that Zeke had showed me back when we were in initiation. I could see a tiny figure hopping slowly back and forth off the rocks down at the bottom, it was probably Shauna.
Wait, Shauna was in a wheelchair: how could she possibly be running.
I thought of all the possible people that have know the place: Zeke, Shauna, Tris, and me.
Tris.
No, it couldn't be: Tris was dead. Maybe Zeke showed it to one of his 'dates' that never went well, but either way something inside me was burning and dying to find out.
"Tris!" A man yelled as he chased after the girl. I closed my eyes, this wasn't real, it's not her.
"Tris!" He yelled again. I squinted my eyes, trying to distinguish his features: grey hair, white coat and an evil grin.
David.
No, I'm going bonkers. Tris was lying cold on the table back in the bureau, I saw her with my own eyes; I spread her ashes myself whilst zip lining, everyone was there!
The girl was limping, clutching at her stomach whilst running in the opposite direction to the man following her.
I banged my head onto the railing to make sure I wasn't asleep. Whether or whether not it was Tris, I had to help her.
I raced down the stairs that led to the secret opening, right where I saw her. I could just make out the figure, headed straight towards me.
She froze when she saw me before she fell to her knees, her body limp and weak. I ran over to her and caught her before she hit her head, her blonde hair fanned out over my legs.
"What do you want from her?" I said in my instructor Four voice, making him jump.
"She belongs to me. Hand her over."
I brushed away some of the hair from her face, my eyes wide with shock.
"What did you do to her!?" I shouted, startling him: I wasn't as weak as he thought.
"David, I am going to ask you again, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER?!"
"I did my own business, don't get involved Four!"
"I was involved since we crossed that stupid wall and into your piece of heaven! You shot her in the weapons lab, you killed her!" The words came out bitterly.
He looked around him, eyeing the dark water below him, I couldn't believe him. Question were whizzing around my mind and they all came out, desperate for answers.
"You had your mind erased David! How did you survive the memory serum?! You were there for Uriah's unplugging and you were completely brain dead!"
He stared at me, mouth agape and words on the tip of his tongue.
"Don't tell me he's alive too!"
"That's my own business." he said coldly and I ran my fingers through my hair unbelievably.
"Did you chase her all the way here?" he stared at me blankly, "David answer me or I swear I will kill you with my bare hands!"
"That won't be necessary," He smiled, "I guess you'll have to find everything out for yourself. I was running after her so that I could finally kill her, as a last token of gratitude." He smiled wickedly before he dived into the water, his head smacking against the rocks on the way down.
But my attention was on Tris.
"Tris, Tris are you hurt? Can you hear me?" My hands were shaking.
I picked her up bridal style and ran across the rocks to the door, taking a sharp right and climbing up the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me.
"Zeke! Now!" He looked over to the edge of the pit where I was running.
"Four, is that Tris!?" I ignored him and half of the others who were now staring at us in disbelief.
I rushed down the halls, Zeke hot on my trail and Tris' limp body barely within my grip, her head lolled to one side: she didn't look like she was breathing.
Zeke caught up to me and gasped when he saw who I was carrying.
"I knew it! Four, she doesn't look ok to me..."
"You think I haven't realised?" I interrupted him boldly. He pushed open the doors to the infirmary, ushering me inside.
"She needs help, and fast!" He shouted over the chatter of nurses.
"Lady, are you deaf?" He said, grabbing a nurse by her coat, "I said she needs HELP!" She ran over to us and managed to get hold of a bed where I gently placed Tris on, and they rushed her off, half scared at what Zeke might do if they didn't.
I sat in one of the chairs with my head in my hands, thinking of what had just happened in the last twenty minutes.
"I'll go get coffee."
I nodded slowly, not looking up.
Tris was here, but I'm not sure if she's alive or not. I hoped and prayed that she still is, I've already experienced what grief can do.
"Four," someone said, but I couldn't make out who it was.
"Four!" It was Zeke.
"FOUR!" He yelled again, snapping me out of my daydream.
"Yeah?" I finally replied, looking at him for the first time. I took a look around me, but I wasn't in the waiting room. In fact, I wasn't even in the infirmary.
"What happened?" I asked curiously. Then I remembered.
"Where's Tris?!"
He looked at the others, who were all surrounding me, and gave me a concerned look.
"Four, Tris is..gone."
"No, she was here! David was chasing her and I helped her, we helped her, you were there!"
"I don't know what I was doing but you fell and you must've banged your head on the floor, hard!"
I helped myself up, ignoring the hand spread out to me, confused thoughts swirling around my head: it wasn't real.
I gripped onto the edge of the Chasm railing where I must've fallen. I looked down at the secret spot to see no one there: there never was, there never will be.
