Tris POV

After hugging everyone and saying goodbye I turn to my phone. I call Matt and he answers almost immediately. I told him I'd never call unless I really needed something.

"Hello? Trissy, is everything ok?" I can hear the nervousness in his voice and I feel my eyes start to water and I sniff.

"Not really Matty." I say and I feel a lump in my throat that you get when you cry.

"Trissy please tell me everything is ok and you just wanted to know if I was ok."

"I can't do that Matthew." I let out to sob that I was holding in.

I can hear sniffs in the background and he says "Why, Trissy what's wrong?"

"I have cancer. It's a small tumor in my foot which they are going to remove tomorrow. They said that it should be gone after that but it can come back. Matt I'm scared." I can hear him crying through the phone which breaks my heart.

"It's ok Trissy Poo. Everything will be ok." He says in between sobs. This makes me cry very hard. He tells me a bunch of encouraging stuff and comforting stuff until I feel very sleepy and decide to end our call. I cry myself to sleep.

I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder. I pull the thin white hospital sheets over my head and groan. I hear a couple of laughs and know that my friends are here. Someone pulls the covers off. I look up to see Christina with the covers in her hands.

"Why." I ask stretching and yawning. Zeke and Uriah smile at me and I return smiles to them.

"Because your surgery is in 2 hours." She says and everyone's smiles come off their face and it's masked with seriousness and care. I can feel my eyes gloss over. I can't hold back the tears so I just let them fall. Zeke runs up to me and brings me into a warm hug. This hug is so warm and it makes me feel like fireworks are going off all through me. He sits on the bed in front of me and pulls me into his lap as I sob into his chest. "I'm scared." I mutter. Zeke rubs my back comfortingly and says "Shh. Trissy it's ok we will all be here when you come back." I feel a warm hand on my shoulder, out of the corner of my eye I can see Uriah crying with his hand on my shoulder. I take my head off Zeke's chest and look around the room. I see Will and Christina holding each other tightly and sobbing. I see Shauna, Lynn, and Marlene in a three way hug and sobbing as well. I see Four in the corner with his head between his knees crying too.

"Thanks guys." I say sniffing and everyone nods. I look up at Zeke. He has tears down his face and still coming out at a rapid pace. Then I look back at Uriah and he has the same expression as Zeke. He looks into my eyes and gives me a small smile. I give him a small smile back as more tears roll down my face. Zeke cups my face in his hands and he wipes my tears then presses his forehead to mine.

We stay there like that for about 15 minutes still crying until there is a camera click sounds. I look up and see Christina grinning widely with her phone pointed towards us. "I'm posting this either ways Trissy." She says. I sigh and Zeke smiles slightly.

Then a nurse comes in with a tray of orange juice, a chocolate chip muffin, and bacon. She hands it to me and says "Eat up. Your surgery is going to be in about one hour. Don't worry the cancer will be all gone soon." She pats my back and leaves. I don't want to eat but I know if I don't the doctors will get mad. I eat the bacon first taking sips of orange juice occasionally and then eat my muffin. While I'm eating another camera noise goes off and I look up to see Marlene grinning this time. I'm confused for a minute when I realize I'm still in Zeke's lap.

I glare at both of them and finish my muffin. I go on my phone and look at instagram and see my name and Zeke's tagged to the pictures that Christina and Marlene posted. I blush as I look at these pictures. I read the comments and so many people are jealous of this which makes me laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" asks Will.

"I'm laughing at these comments on instagram." I say. Our group makes small talk for the rest of the time then the nurse comes in and tell us that it's 10 minutes till the surgery and that I should relax. Then Zeke says "Tris, I know we just met but I was wondering if maybe you would go out with me. I know I just met you 2 days ago but I've never felt this way around someone before."

"He's telling the truth." Christina says. I know she came from a candor family so she knows when people are lying. I nod and Zeke pulls me into a tight hug and kisses my head. I smile and kiss his cheek. Just as he kisses my cheek yet another flash goes off. "Are you kidding me." I say and glare at Christina again. Zeke just laughs and takes my hand.

The nurse comes in and tells everyone to leave so I can get up and walk to the surgery room. Everyone obeys but Zeke. He just helps me up. The nurse smiles at us and tells us to meet her outside when we are ready. Zeke turns me to him and hugs me tightly. I start to cry again and he separates from me so he can wipe my tears. I look at the floor but he lifts my head up with his fingers and kisses me. I kiss back and it feels like fireworks, just like when he hugged me. We break apart and walk out hand in hand. My mom, dad, and Caleb come to me and hug me tightly. Then the nurse tells them they have to stay in the waiting room and I'll be out in about an hour or two.

The nurse brings me through tons of hallways until we reach this one where there is a bed and machines all around it. She leads me in and explains that I'm not going to be awake when this happens. The nurse hooks me up to a heart monitor. Then she gives me laughing gas and a drug to make me fall asleep the whole time.
