***I DO NOT OWN THE DIVERGENT SERIES
Chapter 2:
My eyes drift open but pain seeps through my body. I'm so weak I feel like my body is dead yet my mind very much alive.
"Tris, can you hear me?" says a young girl in white jacket. Not a candor, a doctor.
"Where am I?"
"You are in the Emergency Room Infirmary. You were shot in both shoulders. Missed your heart my inches. What a lucky girl."
I'm alive. I did it. Tobias. Where is my Tobias? My heart starts to race, my adrenaline pumpling.
"Where is Tobias?!" I sit up fast, with a searing pain, then fall back into my bed.
"Tris! Calm down."
Tobias is ok. Tobias is ok. I assure myself. I remember he went to the city. He will be back soon.
"How is she doing?" in come a voice. Caleb.
"She's doing well, considering. She needs lots of rest, but should be able to go home soon." She smiles reassuringly. Then leaves the room.
"Hey Tris." He says then sits on the edge of the bed. I smile. He's ok. He's alive.
"Hi."
My eyes start to fall, I can't keep them open a second longer. Overwhelmed with exhaustion, I fall asleep.
When I wake, the pain still overwhelms me. I look around the room. Mathew is slumped in a chair across the room. He's asleep, and alive. Good.
All of a sudden I hear commotion outside the door to my room.
"Where is she?!"
Tobias.
The door burst open. His eyes meet mine. Then his dark eyes soften. My heart burst. He's okay. My Tobias is okay.
"Tris." He says gently. Then sits on the chair next to my bed. Mathew stands up and heads toward the door and smiles.
"I'll give you two some privacy." Then leaves.
"Oh, Tris. You almost di-…" His voice trails off, tears in his eyes.
"I almost lost you." His thumb moving up and down my cheek.
"But you didn't." I smile weakly.
He leans over and kisses me. I kiss back with every fiber of my being.
He tells me how everything went in the city and how most memories here have been swiped. I can't make the smile on my face go way. So I don't even try.
