Haiii guys, sorry for the late update, I didn't have internet while I stayed with my grandma.
Thanks to all of you who leave reviews on my chapters, it means a lot.
It took me about 4 days to write this chapter, I rewrote it about 3 times. I wasn't very satisfied with it.
So the other night I stayed up till 1am to watch Jimmy Kimmel with Shai and Theo. When it was over I couldn't sleep it was so amazing and i was too excited. Did anyone else freak over the teasers and final trailer.? #ahhh
Please leave reviews and pm me. You can pm me even if you would like to talk, I love talking to you guys.
Welp here's chapter sixteen, the emotions will build.
Chapter 16
Tobias
The bruises cover her small body, they remind me of the pain I couldn't ease. Her blood covers my lower shirt and slowly glides down my legs. I've never felt so broken, uncompleted. I lift her closer to my chest. Her body trembles in my hands, the blanket covering her stomach drips dark blood and splashes onto the hallway floors. She looks as though she is asleep but the blood covering her head to toe proves that she is not. Tears brush my cheeks and mix with the blood also covering my body. I hug her tightly and listen to her heartbeat. I need to know that she is alive and still with me.
I run down the long narrow halls, my knees feel weak and unsteady. I pick up my pace. The long stairways and halls feel empty and lonely.
I look down to Tris, her soft blonde hair, now drenched in blood, her wide alert eyes, now shut and motionless. I straighten my posture so I don't stumble and fall. "I really can't live without you. You're the only thing I have. You can't let go, not now."
I should have known to keep her in the hospital longer. I should have known that she wasn't strong enough yet. I see someone at the end of the hallway and begin screaming. "HELP, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME." The one person I love, the only person I can ever trust, I'm losing. The person turns and lets out a loud gasp. Another person from around the corner runs towards us. Zeke and Esme
"ZEKE," I begin to shiver violently and shake Tris in my arms. I cry out in agony "s-she lost lots of blood. S-she isn't going to make it Zeke." I try to run towards them but my body doesn't want to move. I fall to my knees and hold Tris up close to me. "Why? Why Zeke does this happen, is it me? This is my fault, this wouldn't have happened if I could have stopped Marcus and Peter." I begin screaming and shaking Tris. I lift her body up and listen for a heartbeat, "Zeke ITS MY FAULT."
"Tobias, calm down. It will be okay, we need to get her to the infirmary, like now. Here," He kneels down and lifts Tris' motionless body out of my arms.
I pick myself off the ground and run with Zeke and Esme.
We reach the infirmary in what seems like years and run towards the emergency room. Nurses run after us into the room and begin to hook up a heart monitor. "Uh how long, h-how long has she been bleeding?" the nurse asks looking at Zeke for an answer.
I turn to look at her "I was sleeping next to her, I woke to loud screaming and whimpering, beside me I found her bleeding out. I don't know how long, but the sheets were already completely soaked with uh her b-blood." Tears escape my eyes.
The nurse quickly runs to the side of the room and grabs large amounts of rags. She stitches her stomach. The cut is large and very deep. I look away and focus on my breathing.
"She must have stretched out and ripped the cut open, or scratched it while sleeping. It is very swollen and infected. It also seems as though some of her bruises have become infected and darkened in color. She has lost almost forty-five percent of her blood. Above forty percent is dangerous and is about the maximum amount of blood that a person can lose before the body can no longer compensate. Her body is also extremely small and that large of a blood loss can really cause damage. We don't know if she will make it much longer but we are trying our hardest." The nurse genuinely looks very upset, even though she must look concerned and act as though she cares. I turn away not wanting to face the truth. Tears make their way down my cheeks and meet my t-shirt.
The nurse turns and walks out of the room, I climb into the bed once again and lay beside Tris.
I brush my fingers through her hair, the blood has dried and her hair is now colored dark red. I lean down and whisper in to her ear, "how is it that we are always in the hospital?" I look down at the blood stains on the hospital bed. "Tris, I feel like I'm hurting you. I'm the reason this happened, I feel like the ones I love are the ones that I tend to hurt the most." Tears roll down my cheeks. "I need you to be okay Tris, I can't live without you. You're the only person I can ever trust, without you I'm nothing."
I turn to look up at the ceiling. I feel a small hand grip onto my t-shirt. I look over and meet her eyes with mine. Her eyes widen, she lets out a loud cry. "Pain, the pain Tobias." She clenches her teeth and squeezes my t-shirt.
I quickly turn to my side and press the emergency button. A tall brown-haired doctor comes running in. He looks over to Tris who is screaming in misery. He removed a needle and bottle of liquid from his pocket. He quickly leans over the bed and injects the medication into her neck.
Her body stiffens for a few minutes then she releases her grip and her eyes relax.
The doctor looks over to me, "Hello, I'm Dr. Sutton. This medication," he holds up a small glass bottle, "should help her relax and hopefully rest which in return should build her strength. Please inject this into her neck every 2-3 hours for the best result. If she doesn't regain her strength quickly then we feel as though she will surely not survive and heal properly."
"Uhm okay, I will make sure she takes the medication, thank you." He hands me the bottle then leaves the room.
She rests her head on my chest, "what happened Tobias?"
I straighten and look down at my shoes. "Uh the stitches on your waist ripped open, the cut widened and was very deep."
She sits up in shock. She looks at me head to toe and examines my body. "Why is your shirt and pants covered with blood? Is it uh, m-my…" She gives me a horrified look.
"Don't worry about my clothes Tris, you are what's important right now." I touch her bruised jaw gently. "One thing is for sure," she looks up at me, "we always find our way bad to the hospital."
She begins to giggle but stops and grabs her waist in pain. I hug her tightly, "Oh, baby, I'm so sorry."
I look down and our eyes meet, she gives me a small smile, "did you just call me 'baby?'"
I've never been someone to call another person 'babe' or 'baby.' I nod slightly nervous.
Her smile widens, "I like it!"
I smile back and kiss the top of her head, "I think you should get some sleep Tris." I say in my four instructor voice. For some reason I always use my instructor voice when I get nervous, it became a habit.
"I think I've had enough sleep Four."
I give her a cheesy smile, "I think you need more Six."
"Fine, I'll sleep but only if you lay with me." She wraps her legs around mine.
"I wouldn't agree with any other way." I lace my fingers with hers. The medication must have kicked in because she falls asleep quickly. I remind myself that she is safe.
