Tris and Four Become Three
AN: This story is if Tris did not die in Allegiant. Please do not criticize if you think I've got my facts wrong, because I know she died. In my story she doesn't.
Tris POV
People say that your whole life flashes by when you're about to die, but I know for a fact that that is not how it works. After David shot me, I thought for sure I was as good as dead. There was no montage of my life. With my last dying strength, I pulled myself back into the safe area. Even after I got out I was bleeding so much that I thought there was no chance of recovery. After awhile I blacked out from the blood loss. The next thing I knew I was awake in the hospital, being treated by nurses. There is nothing more disorienting then waking up in a strange bed with strange people surrounding you. It was almost all I could take to avoid screaming my lungs out right then and there, but when I saw Tobias, all I wanted to do was never let him go.
Tobias POV
Nothing can ever truly prepare you for when you believe a loved one to be dead. Nothing could have prepared me for the sight of a passed out Tris lying on the floor, soaked in her own blood. I have never ran so fast in my life as I did to get to her side to stem the bleeding. I picked her up as calmly as I could, while inside a storm was raging. Getting her to the hospital in time was probably the only thing that saved her life that day, and I will forever hold it as the most important thing I've ever done.
For ten days she slept, and I didn't move my eyes from her for a second. Finally, when she did wake up, my heart leaped for joy. She tried to jump into my arms, but quickly thought better of it and laid back down.
"Hi." She said.
"Do you realize how close you came to giving me a heart attack?"
"I know Tobias! I'm so sorry, but I had to make that sacrifice. I understand if you're angry." As she was speaking she looked down in shame.
"Oh my God Tris I'm just glad that you're alive!" She looked up sharply.
"You aren't mad at me?" She questioned.
"I'd only be mad if you had died and left me, but since you're still here, I'm going to cherish you forever." If she only knew how much she meant to me. Our conversation was interrupted by the doctor walking in.
"How is she Doc?" I asked.
"Well Miss Tris, you had a great deal of blood loss and you're lucky you didn't lose your life!" He said with a pointed look. Tris tried her best to look sheepish. I didn't buy it at all.
"When will I be able to get out?" She demanded.
"You recovered quite some bit while you were asleep, and the bullet didn't do a terrible amount of inside damage, so you should be able to leave tomorrow." She looked surprised but happy by the early date. Glancing over to me, she smiled.
"How long has it been since you've slept?"
"Oh, two days or so?" She looked appalled.
"No way! Go home and get some rest I demand it!" I almost made it out of the room before I passed out on the couch.
Next Day
After I awoke from my slumber I found Tris up and packing.
"What the hell are you doing out of bed?"
"Tobias, I'm okay! The bullet didn't even do that much damage! I'm fine."
"Well at least let me help." After we had gotten everything together, signed the release papers, and gotten to the apartment that I had rented/stole, we were both ready to just sit and relax. Pulling her onto my lap, I nuzzled my head into her neck. She laughed.
"I'm not going anywhere I swear." I just nodded in agreement. Suddenly an idea popped into my head.
"Tris?"
"Yes?" She asked, startled by my sudden outburst.
"Will you marry me?" She turned to face me with an incredulous look on her face.
"Are you serious?" I shook my head in excitement.
"Oh my God YES! Of course I'll marry you!"
