Love at Divergent High

Chapter 53: Hearing

Tobias' POV:

Black. That is all I can see. Black.

I don't know where I am. All I know is that Marcus took me away from Tris, on the morning after we tried for another baby. He beat me, a lot. Then blackness. I don't know how long I've been away from my wife, my daughter, my friends. I just know pain. Pain and blackness.

I hear doors opening and closing. I hear beeping, probably from a heart machine thing that measures your pulse or whatever. That makes me guess that I'm in a hospital somewhere. But, why would Marcus bring me to a hospital? He hates me.

I don't know how long I've been in hospital. But, I do know when Tris enters the room for the first time. I can smell her beautiful scent. And I can hear as the chair scrapes along the floor so she can sit with me. I can feel as she puts her hand in mine. I know it's her, the hand is familiar, the scent is familiar, everything is familiar.

After god knows how long of her sitting there, silent, apart from the sniffling which tells me she's crying, the door opens again.

"Are you his wife?" A nurse says.

"Yeah, is he going to be okay?" My Tris asks. Just by her voice I can tell she has been crying a lot.

"I don't know. He's been through a lot and he's lost a lot of blood. But I think he's going to be all right. He looks strong and I doubt he's going to want to leave you and your daughter behind that easily. He'll pull through." The nurse says. It's silent for a few seconds. "Why don't you try talking to him? That often works with patients in his sort of condition. Tell him what's been going on. Tell him how much you love him and miss him. Tell him any news that you might have or whatever. I'm sure he'll wake up. You just have to help him a little bit."

"Thank you." Tris says.

"No problem. I'll leave you two to it." The nurse says.

I hear as the nurse leaves the room.

It's silent again, but not for as long as it was last time.

"Tobias, I love you, so, so much. You are the most amazing man I've ever met. You're the best husband I could have ever dreamt of having. You are the best father to our little girl. You're an amazing friend to our friends. You're kind. Selfless. Brave. Honest. And intelligent. I love you more than anything. I love you and will love you for infinity and beyond. Our little girl loves you as well, she needs her daddy to help her with homework and to warn off any boys that may fancy her. She misses you. She needs you. I've also missed you. I also need you. You know on her fifth birthday when we tried for another baby? Well, it worked. I'm pregnant again. Our new baby needs a daddy as well. I-I can't d-do this w-without you T-Tobias. I need you. Our family needs you. So p-please don't l-leave us, because we all l-love you. We all n-need you." Tris says before starting to sob.

I can't believe it. I'm going to be a dad again. She's pregnant. It worked.

I have to wake up. Soon. I heard a nurse say to someone that if I don't wake up within a month of being in the hospital they're going to kill me. They're going to pull the plug that is keeping me alive and helping me breathe. They obviously haven't told Tris that.

I need to wake up. For her. For Eve. For our baby. For our friends.

I need to wake up.

"Oh, how sweet. Looks like I'm going to have another grandchild." I hear Marcus snicker.

"Marcus? How the hell are you here?" Tris asks, angrily.

"That's no way to speak to your father in law." He says.

"You're not anything to me. I hate you. So does Tobias." She tells him.

"Whatever?" He says. "You have ten seconds before I kill you and that brat of a child you're carrying. What are your last words?"

No. He can't shoot her. He can't shoot our unborn baby.

I need to wake up.

"You're not going to kill me." Tris says.

"You really think so." He says as he clicks the bullet into place. "What are your last words? You have five seconds."

She doesn't say anything.

Bang!

Tris' POV:

Bang!

I don't feel pain. Marcus shot at me. But, I don't feel pain.

I look at the floor and see Will lying there. Blood coming out of his shoulder. He's awake and breathing, luckily.

I rush over to him and kneel on the floor next to him.

"Will, you all right?" I ask.

"Yeah, I couldn't have you get shot now could I?" He says, clutching his shoulder.

George and Lucy come into the room and chain Marcus' hands together behind him, forcing him to drop his gun. They start to drag him out of the room.

"I WILL FIND YOU, I WILL KILL YOU, TOBIAS, YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR FRIENDS! JUST WAIT AND SEE PRIOR. I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" That is the last thing I hear him say.

Christina comes in and takes one look at Will before bursting out into sobs.

"Chris, I'm okay. I promise. Just get me a doctor." Will says. Christina nods and leaves the room again, still crying.

Two hours later and it is just Tobias and I in the room again. Will is being checked out. Christina is with him. The others went home again after speaking to Tobias for a bit.

He is still asleep, and I don't know when he's going to wake up.

Hopefully he will wake up soon.

"Tobias, please wake up soon. We all need you, and we all love you, so, so much. You were gone for three weeks before someone found you, in the woods, unconscious. I can't live without you for a second longer. You are my everything, Tobias. You are the person I go to when I'm upset. You are the person that holds me together during tough times. You are the only person I will ever and can ever love. Of course I love our children, and our friends. But you are the only person I can love like that. You are my one true love. You are my soul mate. I need you. We all need you. I can't be in the delivery room on my own. I need you there. To hold my hand. To embrace me. To whisper soothing words in my ear. I only got through I last time because of you. Because you were there for every moment. Just please, please wake up. I love you." I say as tears pool in my eyes.

It is silent. So silent. So, so silent.

The only sound in here is the beeping of the machine.

He squeezes my hand.

A tear falls down my cheek.

Hey Ravens, sorry for the wait. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

I will update as soon as I can.
