(A/N: I do not own Divergent. Nor will I ever. I just own my ideas)
Uriah POV
I start to panic. What have I done? I just wanted to scare her, not almost kill her. Please Tris, be okay.
I start to see blood pool around Tris's head and I know I need to get her to the infirmary immediately. I lean down and gently scoop Tris up in my arms. I walk toward the front door and grab her keys before I walk out and put the ring around my finger.
I hit the elevator button and it opens with a ding. I rush in and then it starts to descend. Too slow for my taste at the moment. Every moment I am on this elevator, the more agitated and worried I get.
Finally, after what seemed to be forever, the elevator door finally stops and the doors pop open. I rush across the Pit toward the infirmary. Everyone moves out of my way. They know that if someone is carrying another person who is unconscious, they probably shouldn't be in the way.
I make it to the infirmary in record time and call out for a nurse. A short brunette nurse comes around the corner, "Sir, if you could just wait—" but she stops when she sees Tris. "Oh my god. Come on honey. Place her over here." She says to me and motions to the stretcher by the wall. I nod and she goes to page someone.
By the time I have Tris situated on the stretcher, 2 doctors and another nurse are there to take her away. I know better not to try and follow them. I have had my fair share of infirmary experiences and I know when and when not to follow the doctors.
I go over into the waiting room and pull my phone out. I find Christina's number in my phone and call it.
"Hey Uriah. Did Tris see my surprise yet?" she says happily.
"Yes, Christina she did see it and she loved it but that is not why I am calling. I am calling because I am sitting in the infirmary waiting to find out about Tris. I need you to come over." I say quickly.
"Oh Uriah. I'll be right there." She says back and hangs up.
I sigh. How could I let this happen? First day of being girlfriend and boyfriend and I put my girlfriend in the infirmary. I put my head in my hands and feel the tears start to come. I am about to let them out but I hear Christina approach.
"Uriah!" she calls. I look up and quickly wipe under my eyes before she can see them. "Uriah, what happened?" she says out of breath. I shake my head, "Tris tried to scare me so I played along and pretended to be scared and fall on the floor unconscious. When Tris was about to get someone because she thought I was unconscious, I sat up and yelled gotcha in her face and she lost her balance. She fell into her coffee table and hit her head. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." I say and I cry. Not caring who saw.
"Oh, Uriah." She says and hugs me. It's not like one of Tris's hugs; it's a sisterly kind of hug. I hug her back. She releases me and pulls me into a chair. We sit in silence for a while until someone comes over and breaks it.
"Excuse me sir, are you the one who came in with Tris Prior?" the man asks. "Yes. Is she alright? Please tell me she is okay?" I say pleadingly. "She is going to be just fine sir. She got a pretty bad cut on the back of her head that needed a good amount of stitches but luckily she didn't fracture any part of her skull. She might be dizzy for a couple of days and there is a small chance of short term memory loss but she should make a full recovery in a day or two." He says.
So many things are running through my head at once. She is going to be okay. Cut to her head. Memory loss. Dizziness. Now I am staring to feel dizzy.
"Can I see her?" I ask him and he nods and motions me to follow him. I turn around to ask Christina if she wants to come. "Go ahead, I can see her later." She says and walks out of the infirmary. I nod and follow the doctor back to Tris's room.
Inside, Tris is lying on a bed, asleep, looking very pale. She also has part of her head wrapped. The doctor leaves and shuts the door behind him.
I pull the chair from the corner of the room over to Tris's bed and take her hand.
"I'm so sorry. I should never have let this happen. I love you too much to lose you Tris."
Tris POV
I wake up to a splitting headache. I try to open my eyes but the light is too much to handle so I keep them shut. I hear the room door open and close but I don't know who it is.
I them hear a chair being moved and finally, a hand takes mine. I now know its Uriah. I want to tell him I'm awake but I'm in too much pain right now.
"I'm so sorry. I should never have let this happen. I love you too much to lose you Tris," he says. I am taken back, he loves me? Now I'm glad he doesn't know I am awake. I wouldn't know how to respond if he did. Do I love Uriah? We've only been dating for a day. How can he possibly love me already?
Unless he loved me to begin with.
"Please wake up Tris. I need you. You're the reason I laugh, I smile, and I love." He says again and now I decide I need him to know I am awake.
It takes all my strength but I manage to squeeze the hand that is holding mine. It's a small sign but I know it means the world to him. He jumps up and I hear the chair land on the floor with a thud. "Tris, please open those beautiful eyes, love." He says. Did he just call me love? I like it.
"Lights," I manage to squeak out and hope he knows what I mean. He does because seconds later, the light shining through my eyelids is no more and I open my eyes. Uriah is hovering over me and he breaks into a huge grin when he sees me.
"Thank god, Tris. I thought I lost you," he says and leans in to kiss me. I kiss back for a moment but it ends all too soon because a nurse walks into the room. He pulls away and turns and picks up the chair that fell and plops into it. "Ms. Prior needs her rest. The earlier you want her out of here, the more sleep you need to allow her to get." The nurse says to Uriah.
He just nods and she walks out. "I guess I have to leave Tris. I'll be back later but she is right. I want you home as soon as possible and if that means me leaving for a little bit, then that's what I will have to do." He says with a smile.
Uriah gets up and kisses me on the forehead before walking out.
I lay back into my pillow and fall asleep instantly.
Four POV (before infirmary)
I am walking toward one of the bars in Dauntless when I see everyone moving to the side. I stop at the edge of the path and see a man carrying a woman. Wait. No.
That's Uriah. Carrying Tris.
How could Tris be injured already? She has only been out of initiation for a day. I look back through the path toward the elevator of the leaders. I realize that if I want to find out what happened, I am going to have to get in there and to her apartment. And since I guarantee that I won't be able to see Tris anytime soon, I decide I might as well do it now.
I walk toward the control room, hoping to find Max in his office which is only two doors down. When I get there, the door is open and Max is doing something on his computer.
I knock and walk into the office. Max looks up from his computer and looks surprised. "What brings you here Four?" he asks. "Here to fill that leadership position that just so happens to be open?" I look at him confused. "What leadership position? Tris just took Eric's and Riley is still here isn't he?" I question back.
Max shakes his head, "Eric as exiled to the Factionless and Riley was killed this morning." I am taken back. "Why?" I ask. Max looks up at me again and smirks. "Well you could find out if you agreed to become a leader. I wouldn't normally be so persistent but I know that if I had you and Tris on my team, we would do very well." He says and I know he is right.
I sigh, "Fine. I'll become a leader. Happy now?" I ask sarcastically. "Yes, very," he says and turns around, grabbing a paper behind him. "All I need you to do is sign this paper right here and I will give you your keys." He says and I take the paper from him. It is exactly like the one I had to sign at my job ceremony. Although, now it says leader instead of control room.
I sign the paper and hand it back to Max. He hands me my keys and looks at me as if expecting me to leave. "You know, I still expect to find out why Eric was exiled and Riley was killed." I say crossing my arms. "I know. So if you would sit, I would tell you." He says gesturing to the chair. I know he wouldn't tell me sit unless it's serious because he knows I hate to sit so I do.
"Thank you. So before I tell you why, you must know that Eric was not exiled. He was also killed. Along with, Riley, Jeanine Mathews, Jack Kang and..." he stops. "And who Max?" I ask already knowing the answer. "Marcus Eaton." He finishes.
I suck in a breath even though I knew he was part of it. It was almost all the individual leaders of the Factions. Dauntless is the only one with 3 leaders because we are so big and Amity truly doesn't have a leader. Unless you count Johanna.
"You must understand that they were killed for good reason. Eric and Jeanine started war plans about 6 months ago. Their plan was to use it to kill all the Abnegation along with reveling the Divergent in the process. Jack, Riley, and Marcus were also involved in the planning. They wanted to extinguish all Divergents. Everyone knew everything except for Marcus. He thought the plan was to only get rid of the Divergents, which was enough motive for him." He pauses to let it sink in. If they were planning on getting rid of all the Divergents, Tris, Uriah, and I would all be dead in a heartbeat.
"I was never included in this because I do not believe that the Divergents are a threat to us. So what if they have their own way of thinking. We have to have some way to distinguish our people. With that, Amity was also obviously not included in the planning because they do not have a true leader and a war would be completely against their manifesto. All the people who knew exactly what they were planning were also killed, but there weren't many. Erudite was in charge of almost the entire project so that is why they could convince everyone to work on it. They all thought it was research. Along with that, all of the computers EVERYWHERE were erased. I am currently having all the personal information of every person of the factions being inputed by the Erudite. They don't know a thing. We will discuss this more when Tris is available but for now that is all you need to know." He says and a thought pops into my head.
"About Tris, I saw her being taken to the infirmary by Uriah about an hour ago. I was wondering if I could have a key to her apartment to check the cameras inside because there isn't a way to access them through the control room." He nods and pulls out a spare key from his desk. "Please check on her in the infirmary soon though." He says while handing me the key. I nod and leave.
A/N: What did you think? Also, when do you think Four's feelings should be admitted to Tris? Let me know by reviewing or PMing me.
Also, good job to all the people who guessed the quote correct at the end of chapter 3. If you didn't know, it was from The Fault In Our Stars
