Tris- A sharp pain shooting down my right leg stirred my senses. I gasped, clenching my teeth together stifling a scream.
"Easy now" It was a voice I could recognise anywhere. I fought against my heavy eyelids trying to force them open. Bright lights practically blinded me, sealing my eyes shut once again.
"Tob..Tobias" his hand brushed my cheek, his thumb circling my cheekbone, "Shh, I'll still be here when you wake up".
That was all I needed, I drifted off peacefully knowing that he was here, keeping me safe.
I wasn't sure what time it was when I opened my eyes next. The hospital room was dimly lit by a lamp so it had obviously been a few hours. I eased my self up studying the room. A chair had been placed next to the bed and bouquets of flowers littered the table at the far end of the room. It was then Christina walked in wearing her new nurse uniform.
"Tris! your awake! Oh its so good to see you...alive!"
At this I chuckled, of course everyone was bound to think I was dead because of Eric and Peter, the vultures.
"Chris" I rubbed my forehead "How long have I been asleep?"
"Well sleeping beauty, according to my watch its been three days "
"Three days?! Oh lord, what happened?!"
"Well after Tobias rescued you he dropped you off here and he's been in that chair ever since" she nodded her head toward the chair next to my bed "It took a bit of convincing but I finally persuaded him to go and have a shower"
She smiled as I laughed.
"Oh Tris, honestly I'm so glad your okay, if there's anything I can do just let me know, okay?" I nodded, happy I had a friend like Christina.
"But Tris, it has been a fair few days, I think we need to get you in the shower" I grimaced, she was right, I attempted to stand up and she literally pushed me back down.
"What?" I demanded
"Tris, you may be dauntless but you don't need to put yourself through pain" I watched as she walked to the door and brought in a wheel chair, "Come on, don't look so worried, its only till your leg gets better" I sighed in relief,
"Okay Chris, just get me in the shower before Tobias sees me" she laughed, helping me into the wheelchair
"Stop stressing Tris" and with that she pushed me out the ward.
Tobias- I let the hot water soothe the aches in my muscles. My body was tense from sleeping in the chair for three days straight but as the old saying went, the course of true love never did run smooth. Hopping out the shower, I hurriedly dried myself off, shoved on a tight black t-shirt, jeans and a pair of black converse and jogged back to the infirmary. I went straight to the ward to find Tris' bed empty. What? I spun on my heel and that's when I saw her. Her hair was wet and she wore a white dressing gown, her small face glowing. Even after what she'd been through she still managed to wear her injuries like a prize. They'd taught her to be strong. That was when I confirmed my latest decisions. I couldn't live without her, so why not go about it the right way. I wanted to marry her.
"And the sleeping beauty awakes" I grinned, winking at her
"Just waiting for my knight in shining armour" she smiled back at me, her blue eyes twinkling.
"He's already here" I said walking up to her, I pulled her gently up supporting all her weight. Her arms slid around my neck and I held her by the waist. I settled my lips against hers, taking in this moment. I was never going to loose her again.
"Let's go home" the words came out naturally, before I had time to acknowledge what I had said "I mean my apartment" I felt the blood creep into my cheeks at my mistake. Tris' small hand moved to my cheek.
"Home" a smile tugged at her mouth as she kissed me again.
