ANY ideas please send them to me. Another thing, I'm curious, how old are all you guys. I'm 14 btw :)
"When can we join in the fight?" I ask.
We have just stopped at an abandoned house to decide what we should do next and the stretch our legs. Tobias leaves the room and mutters something about checking out the area.
"We need you take to a hospital." Christina says.
"Why? I've got some ointment. I'm covered in bandages and you already injected me with something. I'm fine." I say.
"I injected you with some strong pain relief and the blisters are just side effects of it." Shauna states.
Blisters are only side effects of it? It must be more damaging then I thought.
"You know we said the gas is stronger? You Inhaled quite a lot of it, that amount should kill you. You should've died. The gas attacks your insides, it gnaws at your muscles and messes with your brain." Tom says.
I'm nervous. This gas is powerful enough to mess with my brain.
"We don't know exactly what it does yet, Tris. You to be checked out." Zoe says harshly.
"I'm fine." I shout.
"You're not. It just might not be harming you yet." Colin sighs.
We have been waiting for several minutes for Tobias to come back and the others spread out to find him. They left me here with Christina. They think I'm crazy now. All of them are just waiting for me to freak out or do something strange.
"You can remember us, can't you?" Christina asks.
"Yeah. I just can't remember Tobias." "That sucks." She sobs.
"Yes, it does. I do still kind of like him, even though I barely know him." I admit.
It's strange now. I know he wants to go back to whatever it used to be like, but I can't, he is a stranger to me.
"Of course you do. You used to date him, he is basically your other half. Even memory loss and this brain-damaging thing won't keep you from loving him."
She right.
"Does Tobias know about my illness?" I question.
"He knows as much as I do." She answers
I was hoping he didn't, now he is going to be weird around me. Caring about me but also keeping distant, in case I go crazy.
I try to stop thinking about Tobias and my damaging disease by asking about Colin.
"Well we've been searching for you guys and we don't really have enough time to do anything and we can't even talk because I'm driving." Christina sighs.
"Do you love him?" I ask.
"Well he's no Will," Cristina says, "but I think so."
I feel guilty, I killed him. It my fault he's gone in the first place. I'm about to apologise again but I know she won't want to hear it. I try anyway.
"Chris– Tris, I don't need to say sorry, you are already forgiven" she cuts me off.
The best thing I can do now is let Colin and her be together. Everyone has come back now, they wait near the car. Christina says she will pack up our stuff, so I get up and go to the others. When I get over there everyone is hot and bothered, which is weird because I'm really cold. Maybe my body is already malfunctioning. I decide it's best if I just ignore it.
"Guys, can we change places in the car?" I ask.
I can see Tobias tensing, he thinks I want to sit with someone else, anyone that not him. The rest shrug or agree.
"Four and I will sit at the back and Christina wants to sit next to Colin in our previous seats." Tobias looks up at me and we share a smile while Colin blushes a little.
"Me and Shauna are at the front and I'm driving. I guess you and Zoe want to sit next to each other too?" They nod in agreement.
"Dale, you can sit with us." Tom adds.
They climb in the car while I get Christina.
She's still finishing packing up a few jumpers that we left here. One of them is near my feet.
"Christina catch." I slur.
I bend down to pick it up and try to throw it to her. I don't know where it lands because my vison is clouded with bright spots. I can feel myself start to fall but Christina catches me before I touch the ground.
"Tris? What's going on?" She asks frantically.
My vision clears and I stand up by myself. My hands are shaking, I conceal them behind my back. I can feel my heartbeat thumping loudly in his ears. My stomach churns. My body is already deteriorating.
"Nothing. I felt a bit dizzy, that's all." I lie.
She gives me a suspicious look but accepts my statement.
We start walking towards the car. "You're sitting next to Colin now."
She smiles and rushes ahead to the car. Tobias opens the boot door for me to get in (the seats face backwards so we can see out the boot). He helps me up and sits me into my seat beside his. I shuffle closer to him so our knees touch.
"Are we going to team up with the Dauntless now and fight the Fringe people before they gas everyone?"
"Yeah, we are heading back there now."
Good. I don't want any more people to die.
"How are you? Gas done anything weird yet?" He tries to ask it casually but it fails because he is so anxious.
"Nope. I'm just a bit colder than usual." I lie.
He takes a blanket out of his bag and covers us both.
"Earlier, you called me Four." He states.
"That's your nickname right?" I ask confused.
"Yeah but I never told you that and the other guys call me Tobias now." He says happily.
"I wish I could remember more important stuff, like the time we first met or our first kiss."
"It was a great kiss." He teases.
"Which I will never remember." I add, sadly.
"I could re-enact it, if you like?" His face moves closer to mine.
"I would love that." I whisper.
And then he kissed me.
