The next chapter will hopefully be longer, so it might take longer :( but hope you enjoy this chapter! And I'm also having a fanboy moment because TheTrueDivergent fucking read my story!
Chapter 16
Four POV
Oh God! She's bleeding a lot. I can't take her to the infirmary, she needs to go to the hospital. I hop off the train. You're going to be alright, Tris. You're going to be alright. I run into the hospital with Tris in my arms, her blood all over me. "Help!" I scream, "please help."
A man wheels a gurney over and I place Tris on top of it. It looks like she was stabbed twice in the shoulder. But all I see is blood, everywhere.
"Four, where's Four?" Tris asks. I grab her hand and she squeezes back.
"Hey," I whisper, "I'm here." I taste salt. With my free hand I wipe my face. Am I crying? I haven't cried since Abnegation.
"Sir, we're going to have to take her now," he says laying a hand on my shoulder. I know it's supposed to be comforting, but the fact that he wants me to leave her makes me want to punch him. I know he's just trying to help so I give Tris' hand one last squeeze and step back.
I sit in the chair and wait for what feels like hours before falling asleep. When I wake up I see the nurse who took Tris coming back to talk to me.
"She's stable for now," he starts, "the knife hit her humerus and shoulder blade causing a hairline fracture. We had to put in some pins to help it heal." He continues, but all I can think is: she's alive. "When can I see her," I ask cutting him off.
"She needs rest right now," he says more sternly. "You can see her when she wakes up."
"When will that be?" I ask.
"We don't know. She will most likely wake up in the afternoon."
I nod and look at the clock which reads 3:56 a.m. I haven't slept yet. I should head back to my apartment to get some sleep. But what if she wakes up and I'm gone? I can't leave.
I rest my head on the back of the chair and eventually my eyes close and I sleep.
Tris POV
My eyes flutter open. I can't see anything though, just tubes and wires. I can't breath. I move my hands to my mouth. There's a tube there. Take it out! Someone runs in and tilts my head back so they can take it out. Finally I gasp for air.
Where's Four? He didn't wait? Of course he didn't wait, I'm not his girlfriend. We almost kissed though. The nurse beside me checks my chart. He is scrawny with olive skin with glasses. Not Dauntless looking. I'm in the hospital.
"There's a very threatening man in the waiting room. Do you want me call security?" The nurse asks. Tobias! He did stay.
I don't want him to see me like this but before I can answer, he pushes the door open and sits next to me.
"When can I leave?" I ask.
Four speaks, "Here, I'll help you up."
I wince as he grabs my back to steady me. I swing my legs over and the blanket falls revealing a giant cast on my right arm, and a sling that wraps around my neck. I stare at it shocked. What did they do to me?
"I'm going to kill them!" I say angrily. I get up and speed walk outside the hospital. I see the train coming and jump on not waiting for Four who runs behind me.
He breathes breathlessly, "kill who?" He asks.
"Peter and Molly," I spit out.
