Tris' POV
The last thing I remember is Jeanine Matthews Looming over me with a syringe in hand and everything going black. Everything felt surreal after that. I kept seeing Tobias' face and thought it was just a dream. I feel like crap. I feel beaten down. I fell almost broken like I am just barely hangin' in there.
The next time I wake up my eyes won't open. They feel like lead and all I can do is hear the conversation around me.
"Why won't she wake up. It has been almost a week." It's Tobias. I can tell he is crying.
"She has been put under alot of stress and physical harm. Her body put it self into something we call a healing coma. She could be out for hours, days , weeks or even months more. She just needs a little time to heal. She will be ok Mr. Eaton. Just give her some time."
I'm in a coma? I will my self to open my eyes something even move my fingers to show Tobias that I am ok. But nothing works. I hear the door open and close again just like it did when the nurse left.
"How is she?" I hear my dad's voice.
"Why won't she wake up?" Tobias barely croaks out.
"Its ok sweet heart she will wake up when she is ready." My mom is here too.
I have heard enough of the crying. I think harder and will further. Then it happens. I move my fingers just a little bit towards my body.
"Did you see that?" Tobias asks
"Tobias sweetie sometimes our mind plays tricks on us especially when it comes to loved ones." My mom coos.
"Wait. Just wait she'll do it again." I don't think i can. It took so much energy to do it once. He grabs my hand softly. "Tris. Honey if you can hear me move your fingers again. Or squeeze. Please?" The way his voice sounds so sad yet hopeful. I will my fingers to move again. I barely grab his pointer finger before realeasing it.
"Oh my goodness. Andrew did you see that she can hear us." My mom is on the verge of tears.
"I saw Honey. I saw." My dad saw too. I hear Tobias start to cry again but i think they are tears of joy.
Tobias' POV
She did it. She squeezed my finger. It wasn't much but it lets me know she is still there. She is still my stong Tris.
About a week after she squeezed my hand she opened her eyes. I told her everything that happened. They put her on some pain meds and vitamins so she could get her strength back. We went home a few days later. The pain meds mixed with the vitamins were causing her to have some bad nausea though. She pushed it aside. She wouldn't let me take her to the doctor to get nausea pills. Like I said she hates hospitals.
-Page-Break-
I woke up this morning to hear the all too familiar sound of vomiting. I got out of bed and quickly walked into the bathroom and pulled back Tris' hair and rubbed circles on her back.
"Toby. Can you get me some water? Please?"
"Yeah." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass and got her a cold cup of water. When I got back into the bathroom she was vomiting again. I set down the water and went back to what I was doing earlier. She had stopped taking the pain meds and claimed she was feeling better. I knew she was just trying to be selfless. I got a little worried when she stopped taking the pain meds and the vomiting persisted. Still she refuses to see a doctor. She keeps telling me I worry too much and that she will be ok. I am worried about having to go back to work tomorrow. I don't want to leave her alone but I have to start earning points again.
Tris' POV
I haven't stopped vomiting and Tobias has to go back to work tomorrow. He keeps getting worried and I hate to stress him out.
The next morning I got to sleep in for once. Toby left for work already since I was still asleep. He left me a note saying he would be back to check on me by lunch break. It's now or never. I went to the store and back as quickly as possible and walked into the bathroom with a pregnancy test in hand. I followed the instructions and waited. Five long minutes to be exact. I picked it up off the edge of the sink and stared at it. The pink plus sign stared right back at me. No no no. I am only almost seventeen. I can't have a baby now! I have to go to the infirmary and have them do a test. This could just be a false positive. Right? I can't go now I have to wait for Tobias to go back after his lunch break. It's almost noon and if I go now I won't be back on time.
Just as if on cue Tobias walks through the door.
"Tris where are you?" I quickly hide the box under the other trash and the test in my back pocket until I can hide it somewhere else.
"Just a second." I yell back. I walk back into our room and he is not in there. I walk over to my bedside table and hide it under my various training papers. This will have to do for now. Then I go greet Tobias for some lunch.
