A/N: Hey guys! It's been a couple days, hasn't it? Enjoy Chapter 29!
Tris POV:
I shake my head and laugh lightly, wincing a little bit at the pain that laughing brings to my lungs. "I just can't believe you're pregnant," I laugh.
"I'm just glad your not mad," my mom laughs back.
"So can I tell the others? Four and Christina and Marlene and Uriah Will and Shauna and Zeke I mean," I ask.
"Yeah, I don't mind them knowing, I just didn't want to tell you while they were here just incase you took the news badly," my mom says.
"I'm really sorry to have to leave you like this, but I really need to get back to work now, Tris," my dad says.
"And I'm volunteering at the animal shelter in about thirty minutes so I best be going too," my mom says.
I kiss them goodbye and my friends walk back into the room with questioning looks on their faces. "My mom is... ah... pregnant," I mumble. Tobias immediately rushes to my side to ask me how I felt about it. "Relax, Four, I'm fine with it," I say, chuckling lightly and being careful to use his nickname around the rest of our friends.
He sits back down in the chair that he was resting in before my parents came in. "Does Caleb know about this?" I ask.
"Umm, we told him about it but he had some major Academic Bowl or something he had to go to so he didn't stop by but he said to tell you to feel better soon," Marlene says.
I roll my eyes. "Of course he had some school thing. Of course his stupid academic bowl was more important than his sister getting surgery," I mutter bitterly.
A couple of my friends start to give me a look of sympathy but I change the subject. "When are you getting out of here?" I ask Christina.
"I could ask you the same thing," she laughs. "But I'm free to go the day after tomorrow."
"So not to much longer. When am I getting out?" I ask, turning to Tobias, knowing he'll know the answer.
"The day after Christina gets out."
I groan. "I need to walk around or go for a run or something," I mutter, trying to stand up.
"No!" Tobias says loudly, throwing his hands out to block me from getting up.
"Jeez, what's the big deal? I'm just standing up."
"You aren't supposed to stand up until tomorrow or it could mess up your stitches or surgery or something! I don't know what but the doctor said you can't get out of bed until tomorrow unless a nurse or a doctor is there to help you and supervise you!" Tobias says frantically.
I groan again. "This sucks, now I can't even stand up!" I mumble, not laying back down again.
"I know it sucks but please just do what the doctors say? It'll help you get out of the hospital on time," Tobias pleads.
I reluctantly lay back down and prepare myself for the next few days to come.
{~~~~~^^^^^PAGEY BREAKY~~~~~^^^^^}
The next few days go by slowly, but it's better than I thought it would be. Tobias barely ever leaves my side and quite honestly it's getting annoying. Caleb came to visit yesterday and it was sort of awkward because he kept giving my friends weird looks, especially Tobias. If only he knwe we were dating...
Christina just went home yesterday and everybody should be arriving here soon because the second I get out of the hospital we're going on a trip to Christina's cabin. Her parents are really well off in money, so a couple of years ago they bought a cabin.
Every winter, spring, and summer, they let Christina stay in the cabin and bring her friends with her. What they don't know is that on at least one of the nights, she has a huge party and invites the whole school and people from other schools, too, and that at those parties there's almost always alcohol and drunk people doing things that could get teenagers in major trouble. It's not the safest party in the world, but according to Uriah and Zeke it's the 'best party ever dude,' and Christina's extremely proud of them, so even though I'm not a big fan of parties I'll go because it would mean a lot to her. Plus, it should be an interesting experience and if I'm already at the cabin what else would I do? Hide up in a room the whole time? No. I'll go to the party. Maybe I'll even wear whatever Christina wants me to wear. For some reason, I feel like the surgery I had has made me into a new person. A more daring, dauntless person. And I think I like it.
When my friends finally get here, we load up into Christina's car. Quite illegally, I might add, because Christina and Will are in the front seat, leaving Uriah, Marlene, Zeke, Shauna, Tobias, and I all piled into the back seat. All of the girls are sitting on their boyfriends laps and Christina cranks up the radio to some crappy pop song. We're in the middle of nowhere and nobody's around to hear the music, so Christina turns up the volume so much that I wouldn't be surprised if I went deaf by the time we got there. We all laugh and sing off key to the songs that come on.
As different and strange as this sort of thing is to me, I have to say I love it! Being obnoxious and loud and just having fun with friends is something I've never really experienced before, so this is all new to me. I'm so glad I met Christina that first day, though, because I don't think I could've ever asked for better friends than these people surrounding me in this car right now. I'm super excited for this vacation at Christina's because it'll finally give me a chance to live the wild, crazy life I've always secretly wanted to live but have never had the chance to because of multiple reasons. I can finally start, and I'm ready.
