You and I

Chapter 7: Tests

A few minutes after Tobias pressed the call button a nurse walks into the room.

"You're awake. Good. Do you need pain killers?" I nod because everything hurts right now.

She puts the needle at the end of the pain killer supply into my forearm and releases it into my body as she tapes the needle down. I feel instant relief.

"Tris, I need to ask you some questions about what went on when you were kidnapped, okay." The nurse says as she sits on the edge of my bed, by my feet.

I nod, tears still making their way down my face.

"Do you know who did it?"

"Peter Hayes, but Marcus Eaton told him what to do." I speak quietly.

"You mean the Abnegation leader Marcus Eaton?" She's shocked.

I nod.

"Why would he do that?"

I look up at Tobias and I know he probably doesn't want her knowing.

"We don't get along well." I answer.

"Why not?"

"Does it really matter?" Tobias is angry.

"Okay. We know he beat you and whipped you. I can tell from the scars and bruises. But I really need to know if he raped you."

I nod.

"Did he use protection?"

"No. He said he didn't have a condom."

"Okay, we have to test for pregnancy and STD's. I'll be back in a minute I just need to get a blood test needle." She leaves the room and I'm terrified.

What if I'm pregnant?

With Peter's baby?

I could handle it if Tobias was the dad but we haven't even had sex yet.

What if I have an STD?

I could die.

"Hey, Tris. No matter what I'm going to be with you all the way. I promise." Tobias tells me, his hands resting on my shoulders.

"But if I am pregnant it won't be your baby. You're going to want to leave me. I'll be alone. I-I can't live without you Tobias."

"I'm not going to leave you, Tris. I promise. I can't live without you either. If you are pregnant then we'll get through it together. We can pretend that I'm the dad, I don't mind."

"You'd really do that, for me?"

"I'd do anything for you, Tris. I love you."

"I love you, too."

That is when the nurse walks back in with a tray in her hand. She sits on the edge of the bed again, closer to me this time. I hold out my arm for her and she ties something around the top half before drawing blood out of my vein in the crease of my elbow.

When she's done she leaves the room again, telling us we should get the results within the next hour.

We sit there. Waiting. In silence. His arms wrapped around me as he sits next to me on the bed. Me crying silently.

I'm terrified.

I'm scared.

And it is an hour later she walks back into the room and sits on the edge of my bed again, but by my feet.

"Well, you haven't got an STD and there aren't any signs of pregnancy. It may be the wrong time of the month or you just haven't conceived yet. So I would like to book an appointment for you in two weeks to do another test, just to make sure. If it's still negative then you aren't pregnant. I could go and get you a morning after pill, if you would like. It will lower your chances of conceiving if it is just that you haven't conceived yet. It has a ninety percent chance of working so the odds are high that you won't end up pregnant."

I just nod, relieved that I haven't got an STD and am showing no signs of pregnancy.

I want the pill because I couldn't handle having Peter's child and not Tobias'. Even if Tobias means what he said about being there for me then I wouldn't be able to handle knowing that it's not really his child. It might break me. Or us.

She goes to get me the pill and I take it without any hesitation.

"Well, I would like you to stay in for tonight but if your wounds are healing okay I will supply with pain killers you can take home with you tomorrow." She explains.

I nod and she leaves.

"Where's everyone else?" I ask Tobias.

"They're in the waiting room, have been since you got here. They feel guilty about saying those things Tris. They really do."

"Go and get them."

He nods and kisses me before leaving.

He returns a few moments later with everyone who played Truth or dare with us following him. They all look sad. And sorry.

Christina rushes over to me and hugs me tight.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have even brought it up."

"Its fine, Chris."

"No, it's not. It's not my place to interfere. You have sex when you're ready, not because someone forces you."

Tears come to my eyes again and I start sobbing.

"Shit. I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" She questions as she pulls back.

"Christina, what did you say to her?" Tobias says angrily as he wraps his arms around me again.

"I was apologising and said 'you have sex when you're ready, not because someone forces you' that is when she started crying." Chris explains.

"Tris, it's okay. It's not going to happen again. I promise. I won't let it happen again. I love you. I won't let anyone hurt you again." He whispers to me.

"What happened to her? Why's she acting like this?" Chris asks, concerned.

"It's none of your business Christina." Tobias growls.

"I'm her best friend. I want to know what I did wrong. She can tell me anything."

"Chris, they obviously don't want to talk about it…"

"I don't care, Will. I want to know what I did wrong. I want to know what happened to my friend."

"Will's right Christina, we came to say we're sorry and to see if Tris was all right. Not to bombard her with questions about what happened. She'll tell us in her own time." That was Marlene.

"I just want to know what the bastard did to my friend. I want to know who it was so I can go beat them to a pulp."

"I know, Chris. We all want answers but they'll tell us in their own time. Just give them a break. They've been through a lot recently." Will again.

"Fine. But Tris, let me know when you're ready to talk." Then I hear the door slam.

"I should probably go after her. Feel better soon, Tris." Will says before leaving.

I just cry harder.

Why?

Why me?

Hey Ravens.
