Chapter 14
Tris
"Do it now!" Evelyn screamed. Without hesitation he pulled the gun out, aiming it at me. I stood still, staring into his handsome blue eyes.
"Please..." I begged him, tears falling down my cheeks, "don't do it."
But it was no use. He clicked the trigger and aimed. I placed my hand over my belly, right where our child is.
And he fired, without a second thought.
I shot out of the bed, sweat dripping down my forehead and tears lining my face. I ran my fingers through my hair and got up, my toes brushing the cold tiles. I placed my hand over my belly again, this time no bullet hole. I looked back at the sleeping figure of Tobias before I slipped out of the room, one more tear rolling down my cheek.
It wasn't real.
I rubbed off the tears with the sleeve of my top as I walked the silent halls down to where the sculpture had been, and stood there: admiring the falling water again, just like we used to when the days felt like they were dragging on. The memories came flooding back and my gaze shot to the wall that had exploded behind Uriah, now repaired and patched up with paint in a few places.
"Can't sleep?" I heard a voice say. I looked over to see Uriah, walking in his hospital gown towards me, bunny slippers on his feet.
I stifled a laugh, "Yeah, something like that. Hey, what's up with the slippers?"
He looked down and smirked.
"Well, mom didn't want me going around this place with my bare feet so she got me 'slippers'" he said, rolling his eyes.
"I think they suit you."
"Thanks?" We both laughed. He came next to me, placing his arms over the railings and staring at the rock.
"So, how comes you're up at this hour?" I asked curiously, filling the silence.
"Same thing applies to you!"
"Hey I asked first!"
He sighed, "Fine. Well, basically ever since I came out of the coma I've been having..." He looked down, blushing again, "nightmares."
I raised my eyebrow. "Is this the right time to say 'Pansycake'?" I laughed at the look he shot me. "But no kidding, I haven't been too far off myself." I said, looking down at the railing I was holding.
"Aww, is my Trissy having bad dweems?" He mocked.
"Shut up Uri, you've been having them too!" I snapped and he raised both his hands in mercy.
"You wanna go grab a drink?"
"Yeah," I smiled.
He put his arms around my shoulders and we walked to the cafeteria.
...
"I can walk you know." I said, rolling my eyes as we got the the door.
"Yeah, just thought I would guide you to the cafeteria."
"I can find my own way here thank you!"
He laughed at me as I stood there, arms crossed over.
"Shall we?" He gestured to the door, arms spread put as if guiding me inside and I walked in, tossing my hair over my shoulders as I did.
"Women." He whispered as I giggled.
Tobias
I woke up to the sound of the door closing and I instantly knew it was Tris.
I looked over to her side of the bed to check: yep, she was gone.
She must've had a nightmare again: It was the one place I felt helpless, like I had to just sit and watch her fight the battle in her head without being able to do anything. I sighed, deciding whether I should catch up to her or leave her with her own thoughts for a few minutes.
I rolled over and checked the time: 1:38am. Ugh, I groaned as I put my arm over my eyes, shielding them from the cold air. It was only December, but the winter air was settling in. I never liked winter: so cold and bitter, but most of all: lonely. I didn't like the way that there was nobody out on the streets, or the fact that the day was getting shorter and shorter by the hour.
I kept my eyes closed and drifted off to sleep again, no Tris by my side.
Tris
I sat down at the table and waited for Uriah to bring the drinks.
"Uriah! You're taking for ever!" I shouted, but there was no reply.
"Ugh, here we go with the "where's Tris" thing again." I rolled my eyes.
I turned to face the serving area, but there was no one there.
The light were turned off and I walked in the darkness to the front of the hall, before I heard a bullet.
I ducked down behind the bar, shielding my head.
"Gotcha!" Said a familiar voice.
Uriah. He laughed as he pointed to the pretend gun he had in his hands.
"Uriah if you ever do that again I swear I will kill you with my bare hands!" I yelled, but he just rolled on the floor laughing and before I knew it I was laughing with him.
Tobias
I shot up as soon as I heard the bullet.
Tris.
I ran out of the room, not even bothering to put on my shoes. I didn't know where to look, but I guessed my best choice was the dining hall.
I pushed my way through the door to find Uriah on the floor laughing his head off and Tris with her head in her palms as if she was embarrassed; I began to get the picture. Her head turned instantly as she heard me approaching.
"Wow, what happened here?"
Uriah stopped laughing and lifted up a gun, before he burst out into another fit of laughter.
I ran my hands through my hair letting out a sigh of relief and I went to sit down next to Tris.
"So, what woke you up?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
She raised her eyebrow, "You think I don't know you know?" She replied: she knows me too well.
"Worse than last time?"
She nodded, looking down. I lifted up her chin with my fingers so we were millimetres apart, her eyes full of sadness.
"It'll be ok, we'll get through this, together."
She nodded again before coming in, pressing her nose against my own. I leaned in to kiss her and she gladly took it, pressing her lips onto mine.
"Get a room! Eww guys!" Uriah shouted out and we broke apart, both of us breathing heavily but our gazes never parting.
"Uriah, don't act like nothing happened with Christina this afternoon." She looked over at Uriah, smiling wickedly. He blushed as he got up, brushing himself off.
"You weren't supposed to see that!" He snapped.
"Tough, I did." Tris laughed, "And I can use that when you annoy me, so you better be extra nice to me." She smiled sweetly at him, but a sickly sweet.
I chuckled: that's my Tris!
So that was basically it: it wasn't very long but as I said I really wanted to post a new one before Fourtris day so you could give me any ideas for tomorrow! and it can be anything, from something like wear a something item of clothing to like idk, jump off a roof or something i don't know! ;D XD (not like that but still!) hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will start writing the new one tonight hopefully.
love you all, D.D xxx
