Love at Divergent High
Chapter 26: Friends and Brothers
I wake up the next day to find Tobias looking at me with a small smile on his face. I give him a small smile back but I get the familiar urge to vomit so I get out of bed and run to the en-suite. I puke into the toilet. I start thinking about my mum and how she is never going to see her grandchildren grow up and I start crying again. Tobias comes in and starts rubbing my back and holding my hair out of the way. When I'm done I lean against the wall and he pulls me into a hug as I cry.
"Hey, it's okay. It's going to be okay." He says as he strokes my hair.
"I want my mum." I cry.
"I know you do. But I'm here; I am always going to be here. So are our friends. And your dad, and Caleb, and Susan and Ella. We are all going to be here." He says.
I continue to cry for what feels like hours but is only a few minutes. "Why don't you get ready and I'll get you some breakfast." He says.
"Okay." I say. He helps me up and flushes the toilet before placing a kiss on my forehead and leaving the room. I get ready, like he told me to. After washing I get dressed into some light blue leggings and one of Tobias' jumpers which are way too big for me. I tie up my hair into a messy bun.
I then go downstairs to find Tobias making French toast. I smile slightly before sitting at the table by the window.
After a few minutes he comes over to me with some plates of French toast. He puts one in front of me and the other where he is going to sit. He sits in his chair and takes my hand in his. "Everything is going to be all right." He says.
"I know." I whisper.
"Zeke just texted me saying they are going to be here soon. They left the house a few hours after we did." He says.
"Okay." I say quietly before eating my French toast, which tastes amazing. "Did, the doctor say anything else last night? I left before I could hear the whole thing." I ask.
"He said that she had died from the amount of blood in her brain. Then he went on to stay about Andrew's condition. He has a broken leg though everything else okay. He should be allowed home next week as that gives them time to see if the crash did anything they haven't noticed yet. Then he left, after saying 'Sorry for your loss.'" Tobias states.
"That's when I'm guessing you left." I say.
"Well, I told them I was going to find you, and then I left." He says. "Caleb and Andrew were crying and Susan was trying to be strong for them both but I could see tears in her eyes that I'm sure started falling." He says. I nod.
We eat the rest of our breakfast in silence and when we're done Tobias cleans the dishes. I go and sit on the sofa in the living room and watch TV in silence. I put my hand on my stomach and make a silent promise to my baby that I will give it a good life and that I will make sure it is loved and cared for by everyone that it has left in its life. I promise to try and not be a terrible mother and that I will be strong for it. I promise a great many things to my unborn child before going back to watching TV. My hand still resting on my flat stomach.
As I am watching TV I hear the doorbell ring and Tobias opens it for me. "Where is she?" I hear Zeke ask.
"In the living room." Tobias answers.
My friends enter the room with sad looks on their faces. "Tris, we're so, so sorry." Marlene says sadly, and that is when I start crying, again.
One by one they all come over to me and embrace me. Soon we are all in a group embrace, me crying as they hold me. "Promise me that you guys won't ever leave me. I don't know what I'd do without you." I sob.
"We promise Tris. We are always going to be here for you. You're our sister." Zeke says and they all nod. Ashton, who is being held by Marlene, holds up his hand and wipes away my tears with it. He has a sad look on his face. I laugh slightly and so does everyone else.
We spend the rest of the day watching TV and eating pizza and other foods. We talk and laugh about many random things.
At around five at night Caleb, Susan and Ella come home looking exhausted and sad. Caleb comes to me and embraces me. "I'm sorry, Beatrice." He cries into my shoulder.
"I'm sorry too." I cry.
We cry with each other for what feels like hours. Maybe it is hours.
My friends decide that they want to spend the rest of the holidays here, so we all watch movies and at around eleven we all go to bed after picking out our bedrooms. Tobias and I go in my parents' bedroom, at my request. I want to feel close to my mum, smell her scent. It comforts me and helps me relax.
With the help of the comforting arms of my fiancé and with the comforting scent of my parents I fall into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
