There are a lot of TFIOS references in this chapter.
The last chapter will be posted tomorrow.
Pi had so much fun and enjoyed writing this so much and I hope you enjoyed reading this. I'm not going to continue this now. I will tomorrow.

A few days later
"Hey, Tobias." I walk into his hospital room. He has only one IV hooked up to him and a heart monitor now. The doctors say he is getting a lot better.
Tobias smiles when he sees me. "Hey, Tris."
I walk over to him and sit down on the edge of his bed. "How are you?" I ask.
"Oh I'm grand. I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend." Tobias pushes his dark brown hair that has been getting a lot longer out of his beautiful deep blue eyes.
"That's great. Do you know when they're letting you out of this hell?"
"Nope. Not until they diagnose the rest of the brain damage I have."
I sigh. "Great." I mumble. "Just great. There's more?"
"Apparently. I don't know. I don't really understand any of this."
"Neither do I." I sigh. "Why does this have to be us? Why can't we just be a normal Dauntless couple? As normal as Dauntless couples can get, I mean. Why can't we just be able to go to parties and work normal jobs and get random tattoos like everyone else? Why do we have to deal with this crap?"
"Didn't you say we were different? Why is it just us?"
"All of the others like us were killed. One of my best friends, Uriah, died a few days ago." I fight back tears.
"I'm sorry Tris."
"He was your best friend, Zeke's brother."
"Zeke is my best friend? He's so weird though!" Tobias asks in shock.
"Yeah, so are you. You're just a different kind of weird. You don't like to let anyone know about who you are and your past. I don't blame you. You're quiet and strict, but you can be the kindest person in the world. Like you are to me. Zeke is just obnoxiously loud and crazy."
"I love you."
I smile. This is the first time he said that he loves me since his memory loss. "I love you too." I kiss him softly and he kisses me back. It is also our first kiss since his memory loss. It takes me back to when we were throwing knives and I found out that Four is Tobias. When he hit me with the knife. When he kissed me before we went into his fear landscape and I found out what Marcus did to him for his entire childhood. When we told each other we loved the other. It takes me back to our first public kiss. I feel tears build in my eyes. Tobias notices and pulls me over close to him and I bury my head in his chest.
"Shh Tris. It's okay."
I take a deep breath, breathing in Tobias' scent. "Okay."
"Maybe okay will be our always." He suggests.
I smile. "Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"God, Tris! Stop flirting with me!"
"No need. You're already mine." I smirk.
"Haha very funny." Tobias says sarcastically, but I can still see a smile hint on his lips.
"Okay."
"Okay."
I lay down next to Tobias and rest my head on his chest. "I love you." I whisper.
"I know."
"So modest, aren't you?" I roll my eyes at him.
"Exactly why you love me. I love you too."
I smile and shut my eyes, suddenly very tired, but I soon open them, remembering all of the dreams I've been having about Lynn, Tori, Christina, and my mother.
"Sleep. I'll fight off the bad dreams if they get to you." Tobias whispers.
I smile slightly, remembering the conversation we had that first night in the room after we were discovered as Divergents. "With what?" I ask, seeing if he will say the same thing as last time.
"With my bare hands, of course."
I smile. When he said that the first time, he remembered everything. "Okay."
"Okay." Is the last thing I here before I shut my eyes.
I have a dreamless sleep, sleeping in Tobias' arms.
When my eyes open, there is a nurse fixing the IV in his arm. Tobias has his other hand in mine. The nurse leaves after a minute. I squeeze it lightly to let him know I'm awake.
"Have a good sleep?" He asks.
"Yeah. Best I've had in days." I reply.
"Why don't you go get something to eat? You've been here all day." Tobias suggests.
"What about you?"
"I've got all I need right here." Tobias holds up the arm with the IV.
I shake my head. "I'm not leaving you."
"Too bad. You're not going to starve because of me. I won't let that happen."
"I'm fine."
"No you're not. Go. It's not like I'm going to die."
I sigh, knowing that Tobias won't give up. "Fine. I won't be gone for long though. Fifteen minutes, at the most."
"Okay."
"Okay."
Tobias kisses me before I get up to leave. I don't want to leave the room, but I have to for Tobias. If he wants me to, I will. Ever since the accident that lost his memory, I never wanted to be far from him, scared something might happen again.
I quickly run down to the hospital cafeteria in the basement of the hospital. This place is like a maze. There are so many hallways and a weird hall for this thing they call 'baseball.' I don't know anything about it, but it just looks and sounds stupid. After wandering through the hall, I finally find the cafeteria. I buy a hamburger and eat it as quickly as I can. It's not as good as the Dauntless hamburgers. Then I grab a piece of chocolate cake that looks like Dauntless cake, but tastes nothing like it. It is dry and not rich like the cake I grew to love. I eat it quickly and throw the paper plate away.
I run upstairs to Room 44, where Tobias was moved to yesterday. A nurse is outside and tells me to wait a minute before going in.
"Why? Is he okay?" I ask, worried something is terribly wrong.
"No, nothing's wrong. He's just meeting with his doctor and only one other person can be there with him." The nurse tells me.
I sigh in relief. Tobias is okay. I walk around in the hall for a few minutes, waiting to be let into Tobias' room. It feels like forever, but I can eventually go see him again.
I notice Will when I go back to his room. "Hey Will." I enter Tobias' hospital room. He is sitting next to the window and he waves at me.
I sit down next to Tobias and take his hand. He smiles at me. It looks very hard for him to. He has been taking Christina's death very hardly. I would too if it was Tobias who died. Luckily, Tobias seems to be getting better. He still can't do much, but he can communicate and eat fine. He can't get up, but he can move.
"Hey, Tris."
"Hey, Tobias. How are you?"
"I'm o-" Tobias starts choking and gasping for air. I start to panic.
"NURSE! DOCTOR! SOMEONE!" I yell frantically. A nurse comes running into the room. I start to cry.
"You have to leave. Well call you in once he is stable again." The nurse says to me calmly.
"No! I can't leave him!" I yell. Will gets up from his spot in the chair next to the window grabs my arm and pulls me out of the room, I'm yelling the entire time.
"I love you!" I yell just as I'm being pulled through the doorway. Will drags me out to the waiting room. I sit down and cry into my hands.
"Tris, it'll be okay. He'll be fine. You will be able to go see him in a few minutes." Will tries to calm me.
"Okay." I manage out. After about five minutes of silence, the nurse comes out. She has a very serious face.
"Tris, Will, I'm sorry. We didn't catch one thing. His brain shut down the part that controls his breathing from the concussion. I'm very sorry. Four didn't make it."
