A/N: Hey guys! So I figured that I put a big cliffy there, so I decided to update again. Will I save Jake? Will I not? You will find out. I might not save him in this chapter. But I might. You have no idea what I am capable of. :D So Enjoyeee!
"JAKE I LOVE YOU!" I yell as loud a can, but then my voice is too weak to say anything more. "Stay…with…me…"
Tobias's POV:
I carry Ari back to her dorm because I know that should would not move on her own. Her mother shot Jake, and he is in a coma. It's slowly killing Ari, even though Jake is the one dying. Ari is slumped over my shoulder mumbling words that don't a single bit of sense.
"Ari," I say calmly, "could you please stop?"
"Tookle van wakins." She says. I shake my head and make my way back to the dorm. I set her down and stare at her. "Vague." She says.
"Look," I say, "I have no idea what you are saying or even thinking. But you will be fine. He will be fine. Trust me. I have seen this before."
"Jarg." She lays down a falls asleep within a matter of seconds. Weirdo.
Tris's POV:
Tobias walks in to our apartment and sits down on the couch next to me.
"Is she okay?" He shakes his head.
"I threw her over my shoulder and the whole entire time I carried her back, she was speaking words that aren't even real."
"Oh." I lay my head on his shoulder. "What are we going to do?"
Tobias shrugs. "He did well on his fear simulation. He is still ranked first, but with this he could be in a matter of days either dead or factionless." I nod.
"I know it's weird," I say, "But I have become close friends with both of them. I would hate to see him die. And see Ari mentally die."
"She already has." Tobias says.
"I know."
We fall asleep on the couch because of how fed up and tired we are of the Erudite incidents. Sometimes, I wish that wasn't a faction.
Ari's POV:
I wake up in my dorm. I usually wake up to find my perfect boyfriend next to me. But I don't. My brain is finally working. I remember everything that was said last night. But I know talking to Tobias I said exactly the opposite of what I meant to say.
I get out of my bed and wash up, change my clothes and run over to the infirmary. When I go to check at Jake's bed, no one is there. But there is a note. It reads:
Ari,
I know that you must be very worried.
Jake is still in a small coma. But we are almost sure that he won't make it.
We are still working on his injury and trying to fix it up.
He is in room 7b if you wish to see him.
Best regards,
The nurses.
A tear runs down my cheek. I read again that one line. 'We are almost sure he won't make it.' I don't know what else to do then to just go and see him.
I get to the room 7b and see his limp body attached to 70 million wires. The heart monitor is moving, so he is alive, but this might be my last chance to be near him.
"Jake," I breathe, "Just in case you never see me again, I love you." Then I close my eyes.
Sorry for the crappy chapter. It's not the best but I mean, oh well! Love you all!
