Hey guys! I'm sorry that I happened updated in a while; I've been a bit busy with school and i also reread The Fault in Our Stars and a lot has just been happening to me. To be honest with you all I was considering ending the story with this chapter and trying to decide if I should stop updating but I received some private messages and some other reviews that really brought my spirits up and motivated me to continue the story.
Chapter 10
Tris
"Stay awake Tris, please, please don't let me lose you again." He says as tears fall from his face and hit my chest. I don't have any clothes on and I can feel the blood dripping from all areas of my body.
Christina, Zeke, and Uriah went back to the dauntless compound dragging Peter behind them with the ropes that were holding Tobias back from beating him to death. Tobias is shaking and he carries my body extremely close to his. His grip is tight and I can feel the bruises aching.
"Tobias…" I mumble. "I love you and I need you to take me home."
"You're going to the infirmary," he says shakily.
"No, please, Tobias, listen to me…" I daze off before I can finish the sentence.
The last thing I hear is Tobias as he whispers "I love you too Tris… always. You are safe, you are with me now and I am not leaving you. You are protected."
Tobias
I walk swiftly and carry Tris tightly in my arms.
As soon as Tris falls asleep I pick up my pace, and run as fast as possible. With every step I glance back down to Tris to make sure she is actually here with me. I keep reimagining Peter and what he was doing to her; I will find him once Tris is awake and stable. She has bruises running up her sides and all over her small body. I feel her blood dripping onto the blanket and my hands becoming damp from beneath her body. I still feel tears running down my face, I can only think about wrapping Tris up into my arms and kissing her soft lips.
I couldn't protect her, I feel completely useless. I was supposed to save her and I couldn't.
**page break**
We reach the dauntless compound, as we walk I ignore the whispers and rumors about Peter. I run towards the infirmary and continue whispering to Tris. "It will be okay…" my voice trails off and I feel more tears run faster down my face. "I need you Tris. I need you to be okay. You die I die remember? It's my fault, I couldn't stop him. I… I'm sorry. You didn't deserve this."
The hallways seem narrow and dark. I feel my knees becoming weak, I try to keep my balance and remain strong. I reach the Infirmary and run to a transportable bed. "HELP, she… she is dying. PLEASE HELP, she lost consciousness." Tears stream down my face. A nurse quickly runs up and keeps telling me to calm down and breathe but I continue to scream for help.
The nurse grabs the bed and pushes Tris to an empty room. She hooks her up to a heart monitor and pulls the blanket off of her body. I begin to cry in terror as I see whelps and large cuts. The nurse begins to wipe away blood from her body with wet cloths and begins sowing up her cuts. The sheets on the bed are already drenched in blood, and I put my hands over my eyes as more tears find their way onto my shirt.
