Tris' POV
A week later, I am released from the hospital, after receiving a container of pills and agreeing to return every 2 weeks for the next 2 months so they can make sure everything is OK. As Tobias and I walk out, he scoops me into his arms and carries me out bridal style. I throw my head back and laugh, and he smiles down at me.
I am free. Not just from the hospital, but from my old life. The factions are gone, and the experiment in Chicago has discontinued. Chicago is now a free city, open to GDs and GPs. Although there are still experiments happening in other cities, I am just glad that our city is free. We can focus on the other cities another time. For now, I just want to start my new life with Tobias, together.
We no longer must act a certain way, or think a certain way, or dress a certain way. Everyone is free to be themselves, and interact with everyone. Most people are still having some trouble readjusting to this new life style. We are so used to being controlled, being carved and moulded into mindless statues by our leaders.
It's a beautiful world.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Tobias carries me into our old room that we shared with Caleb, Christina, Cara, Peter, and Uriah.
Caleb went back to Chicago 2 days after I woke up. He was going to finish training to be a doctor, so that he could work at the new hospital they were building. There would be just 1 hospital for the whole city, and not just former Erudites were going to work there. Caleb said that many people from all the factions had applied for different jobs in the hospital, as well as some Factionless. The Factionless were merging their way back into our society. Of course, the change was easier for them, as it was not much of a change. They had not lived under the rules of factions.
Christina and Zeke stayed for Uriah. He was still in the coma, but they planned to unplug him next week. It hurt to much to imagine a life without Uriah. He was one of my best friends. I know Tobias still beat himself up about it, and it didn't help that Zeke blamed him as well. Zeke was still ignoring Tobias, but Tobias gave him his space. He needed time to heal.
Cara had stayed to help in the hospital, while people were still waking up from the memory serum. Peter stayed as well so that Cara could monitor him. Shockingly enough, Tobias said Peter seemed to spend most of his free time in the library. It shocked me that he wasn't Divergent, he could have probably fit in at Erudite just as well as Dauntless. Probably better, since everyone had hated him. But not anymore. The New Peter was nothing like Old Peter. He had even come to the hospital to see me when I woke up. He didn't remember me, but it still seemed so strange that the person I had come to loathe still looked the exact same, but yet he was a completely different person.
Tobias lays me down on the cot. I try to sit up, but he gently pushes my shoulders back down.
"The doctor said you should get some rest," he says, concern all over his face.
I groan. "You know I hate it when you treat me like a child!" I say, but I can feel the fatigue slowly taking over.
He raises one eyebrow and smirks. "You seemed just fine with me carrying you from the hospital." He states.
"That was different!" I say, holding back a yawn.
"How?" He asks, his blue eyes lighting up with curiosity.
I struggle for some sort of excuse. "It... It was romantic." I blurt out quickly and put my face into the pillow to hide my blush.
I hear him laugh and feel the cot dip on the side I was now facing. I feel his breath on the side of my face and I slowly turn my head out of the pillow, only to find his face an inch away from mine. He moves a piece of hair from my face, and leaves his hand on my cheek.
"Was it now?" He whispers. I don't get a chance to reply before his lips crash onto mine. I snake my arms around his and weave my fingers through his hair. He moves his hands to my back and pulls me closer, as close as I can get. We move together as one and one of my hands moves under his shirt, tracing his chest and his stomach. He moans and moves his lips away from mine and towards my neck. He leaves kisses up and down my neck, leaving a burning trail behind. He moves his lips lower and kisses my 3 ravens. My body relaxes and I sigh.
"I love you" I whisper, and his lips move up my neck and across my jaw before reaching my lips, but not kissing them. He's so close, I can feel his lips brush against mine as he whispers,
"Say it again"
I open my eyes and all I can see is his ocean blue eyes staring at me intensely. I feel his lips against mine, smiling.
"I love you" I say, more firmly this time.
"Almost as much as I love you" He says, and before I can deny it, his lips are back on mine. His hands move to my waist, touching my bare skin. His hands feel so warm on my skin. We continue this for a while, but too soon I feel the fatigue I felt earlier come back. As his lips move up and down my neck, I quietly yawn. Even though I could barely hear it myself, Tobias somehow did. He stiffens and pulls back.
"I'm sorry," He says, "I forgot how tired you were. I shouldn't have-"
I laugh quietly. "It's not your fault. I'm not that tired" I say, but my eyelids are starting to feel heavy. He sees this and kisses my forehead. He turns me around in his arms so that my back is against his chest, and wraps his arms around me.
"Go to sleep" he gently whispers in my ear. "I'll be here until you wake up." He kisses the back of my head as I yawn.
"OK," I whisper and close my eyes.
I'm so sorry it's been so long! I've had so much homework! UGHHH. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this fluffy chapter, I owe you guys. Read and Review!
