Hi, all! I'm back with another chapter! This chapter is kind of boring and I promise that the next chapter will have more fluff. Hope you like!
I don't own Divergent, but kind of wished I did.
Chapter 2
I woke up the next morning with Tobias lying beside me, an arm draped around me. I still felt cold and my head was pounding but now, my stomach was turning. I started to feel nauseous and bile started to creep up my throat. I shot out of bed and ran towards the bathroom. Just in time, I thought before I knelt in front of the toilet and started to throw up last night's dinner. I felt someone pull my hair back and a hand rubbing my back. After I was done throwing my guts out, I leaned back into Tobais's arms and Tobias wrapped his arms around me.
"Guess you're not feeling any better?" he asked. I moaned; I didn't really feel like talking. "I'll take you to a doctor." Tobias got up and then helped me up as well. "Do you want to take a shower before?" I nodded. "Ok, I'll get you something to wear while you shower." He left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
I turned on the shower and, while I waited for the water to get warm, I walked over to the sink and rinsed my mouth out. I then stepped into the shower and started to clean myself of dirt and sickness. The only thing that bothered me of the shower was even though I turned the water to hot, the water felt cold to me. I hate being sick, I thought to myself as I finished washing the suds off my body. I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around me. I then saw a bag on the sink and a note attached to it. I picked up the note and started to read it.
Christina dropped by and handed me the bag. She said that she knew you were over here and then gave me the bag of clothes. Tobias.
I smiled and thanked Christina for knowing where I was. I took out the clothes and looked to see what Christina got me. The clothes were black pants, black tank, underwear, and bra. I thanked the lord that Christina didn't put any lace or skimpy clothes in the bag. I dried myself off then proceeded to put the clothes on. I walked out of the bathroom, where Tobias was sitting on the bed. He looked up when he saw me come in and got off the bed. "Ready?"
"Do you have a sweater?" I asked. I was still very cold and I didn't have anything to put on over my tank.
"Yeah." Tobias walked over to the drawer and opened it. He took out a black sweater and handed it to me. I thanked him and then put the sweater on. I then nodded at Tobias, telling him that I was ready to go. We walked out of his apartment and started to walk to the infirmary.
"Tris!"
We turned around and saw Christina walking to us. She was about to say something when a look of concern flashed across her face. "Hey, are you all right? You look like crap."
"Thanks, Christina," I mumbled.
"I was just saying!"
I laughed under my breath; she still had some Candor in her. "It's all right. I think I'm sick, so Tobias and I are going to the doctor to see if I am."
"Oh."
"Don't tell anyone; I don't want anyone to know I'm sick."
Christina nodded. "If you need anything, just tell me."
I nodded and Christina walked off. Tobias and I continued our way to the infirmary and, once we got there, Tobias walked up to a nurse and asked to see a doctor.
"Of course, follow me," said the nurse. She got up and we followed her into another room. "Sit right here." She gestured to a chair and it reminded me of the ones I used for the fear simulations. I got on the chair and leaned back. "I'll go and get you a doctor." She then left, leaving me and Tobias.
Tobias grabbed a chair from the other side of the room and placed it next to me. He sat in the chair and held my hand, rubbing soothing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.
The door opened again and a young man walked in. The man had short green hair; I'm pretty sure it was dyed. He also had brown eyes and his ears were pierced. The man was wearing black pants and a black over-coat. "Hello, I'm West. What seems to be the problem?"
"I think I might be sick," I said.
West nodded and took out a clipboard with a pen attached to it. "When did it start?"
"Last night."
"Any systems?"
"My head was pounding, my throat hurts, my nose was so stuffed that it was hard to breath last night." Tobias stiffed at that and I squeezed his hand to reassure him. "And just this morning I threw up."
West wrote this down then took out a flashlight. "Could you open your mouth?" I did and West turned on the flashlight and flashed it at my mouth. He looked at my mouth for a few minutes then turned off the flashlight. West then took out a thermometer. "Put this under your tongue." I took the thermometer and did what West told me. While the instrument was in my mouth, I saw West writing down something on the clipboard. The thermometer beeped and West took it out of my mouth. He looked at it and nodded. "Yeah, you're sick. You have a hundred and one degree fever. Your throat is also very red; I'll give you some medicine for that."
"Is there a reason why she is sick?" Tobias asked.
"It is very common that some initiates get sick after initiation. I'm pretty sure that you got sick from the stress and fights of initiation," West explained. "Stay indoors and bundle up. Also, eat food that will be easy to digest. If you take the medicine and don't do anything strenuous, you'll be better in a few days."
I nodded.
"I'll go get the medicine for you." West then left the room.
"What are we going to do?" I asked.
Tobias looked at me. "What do you mean?"
"How am I going to keep this a secret? I don't want anyone to know that I'm sick. What if Peter finds out and comes to kill me?"
"I'm not going to let that happen. If you just do what West says, you'll be better in a few days and no one would ever know that you were sick."
I smiled. "You always know what to say to make me feel better."
Tobias leaned in to kiss me but I placed a hand on his chest and pushed him back. I looked up and saw the hurt in his eyes. "I don't want to get you sick." Tobias chuckled lightly then placed a kiss on my forehead.
West walked back in and handed a bag to Tobias. "Have her take this once you get back home. After six hours, have her take another douse."
"So give this to Tris every six hours?" Tobias asked.
West nodded.
"Thank you, West," I said.
"You're welcome." West left again.
"Help me up."
Tobias grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the chair. We walked out of the infirmary and walked to the apartment. Tobias opened the door and we walked inside, but stopped when we saw what was inside; or who was inside.
Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Zeke, Lynn, and Shauna were in the apartment, staring at us.
"So, Tris, we heard you were sick," said Uriah.
I looked at Christina and glared at her.
"It wasn't my fault. Will saw that you looked pale and asked what was wrong. I told him what happened and he told everyone else."
I turned my glare over to Will.
"They were all I told!" exclaimed Will.
"Better be," I said, walking over to the bed. "I don't want all of Dauntless to come and wish me to get better." I sat down on the bed and was about to lay down when Tobias held out a cup of purple liquid.
"You have to take it," said Tobias. "Doctor's orders."
I sighed and took the cup from his hand. I drank the medicine and made a face; it tasted terrible! It kind of tasted like toothpaste. Marlene walked up to me, holding a glass of water. I thanked her and drank half the glass, getting rid of the taste in my mouth. I started to feel a little sleepy and Tobias noticed it.
"I think you should go," Tobias said, talking to our friends. "Tris needs to rest."
"We'll be back tomorrow then," Shauna said.
"With some Dauntless cake!" exclaimed Zeke.
I smiled and watched my friends leave the apartment. Lynn stopped and looked at me. "Hope you feel better, Tris." I was shocked that Lynn said that but thanked her anyway. After everyone left, Tobias walked up to the bed and tucked the blanket around me. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Review and tell me what you think :)
