Tris

I think everyone in life gets that feeling when something bad happens to someone close to you. In my case I start crying uncontrollably, tears flowing endlessly from my eyes. You know that feeling when you cry for no reason. Well that's how it happens to me and makes my soul ache with pain.

My phone lights up showing my dad's picture on the screen. I grab a hold of it and hesitate to slide the green side. I do.

"Hey dad" silence "dad?" I'm standing up now. I check my phone and there is signal. "Call me back I can't hear you well" I hang up and wait. I sit on my bed and stare at the ground. The door to my bedroom opens making me jump. I look up to find Tobias. We stay there looking at each other for more then a minute.

"Tris...something happened to your dad" My heart picks up a fast beat. I stand up and head towards the door. He grabs a hold of my arm "where are you going?" I look up and meet his eyes.

"Where else?" He nods and guides me outside...

The car ride over to the hospital was quiet. I'm glad he understood that I still needed time for myself. I appreciate that he decided to come with me. As soon as I step foot into the hospital I rush over to the receptionist.

"Andrew Prior" I say. She looks up and notices it's me.

"We still have no information on him...please take a seat sweetheart" I nod and turn around to see Jeanine Mathews with...Lauren? I glance back at Tobias. He seems just as surprised as I do. Jeanine meets my eyes and stands up. He puts an arm around me.

"Hi...your mother said she was on her way over here" I turn to look at Tobias. He holds his gaze on her. I suppose he knows about the video.

"Do you know what happened?" I ask her.

"He was in a car accident...apparently his car flipped twice. He was hit on the side" I breath in suddenly feeling the need for air.

"I think that's enough for now" Tobias says leading me away. I pull away and walk towards the vending machine area. He takes a seat across from me.

"Tris..." I don't look at him. He reaches out for my hand but I pull away.

"Was it bad?" I ask not meeting his eyes. He stays silent for a while.

"He's...He's on surgery" I close my eyes. I guess I know why I felt like crying...

Doctor POV

The line goes dead. We immediately try to bring him back but it's to late.

"Time of death?"

"10:00 a.m." we stay silent and then we hear an intake of breath. The heart monitor picks up a fast beat.

"How can this be?" Roger asks impressed

"I want to speak to Beatrice Prior" he says.

Tris POV

Hospitals are really weird. I've never liked them. The whiteness makes it seem like a mental institute. I fiddle with my phones case opening it and closing it. The sound of a clock ticking is the only thing I hear at the moment. That's when I hear the sound of a mans voice calling for my name. I look up.

"Beatrice Prior?" His clothes are covered in blood. Not just any blood but my fathers blood. I meet his eyes. I stand.

"Where's my dad?"

"You need to come see him...there's no time left" I stand there unable to think. There's no time left?. I walk or run all the way to the room. That is when I realize its the operation room. I stand by the door way the man gesturing me to walk in. I hesitate. Do I want to? I feel a hand intertwine fingers with mine. It's much bigger than mine but somehow it fits in perfectly.

Its enough to bring me back to reality. He was calling for me. He wants to talk to me and this might be the last time I ever get to see him. I walk in with Tobias at my side.

Doctors and nurses make way for me to step through. I glance at the bed...or table. A lot of blood fills the table. My blood...my family's blood...my fathers blood.

"Beatrice" I look up and see his face. He looks pale. I move away from Tobias and stand next to my dad.

"Hey" I smile. But smiling brings tears to my eyes. He's in pain.

"Beatrice...I...I need you to forgive me" I furrow my eyebrows.

"For what?...dad I already have...there is nothing else to say"

"I was a terrible father...and I want to make sure you forgive me for all of that. It wasn't until I found you that day that I came to realize the value you had in my life" I glance around at the doctors. They turn around and mind their own business.

"I um...I think I wasn't that very good of a daughter either...I'm sorry I never did anything to make you proud of" a tear slips out of his eye "dad...please don't go"

"As much as I don't want to, this is what it has to be" he breaths in. The monitor isn't as steady. I glance at it and back at my father.

"Tris, let's go" Tobias says. He touches my shoulder.

"I think God has a way of forgiving everyone...thank you for coming...you should go now" he says.

"No, I want to stay here" I say. Tobias takes my arm.

"Tell mom I will always love her...and Caleb"

"Dad..."

"Tris" Tobias urges now pulling me away. I pull back towards my dad but his grip is stronger.

"No...Tobias let me go...dad!" The heart monitor starts speeding up. I am dragged out into the hallway. The door is closed. I loosen up from Tobias and stand against the wall.

"Why did you do that huh? Haven't you done enough?!" He stands there hands on his hips looking down at the floor "non of this wouldn't have happened if I stayed with Erudite" He looks up and stares at me.

"Tris...you can't be constantly blaming yourself for something that Drew did...you need to let go"

"Is that all you ever tell everyone? Learn to let go?...let's be real for a second...the truth is that you can't as much as you want to you can't...just ask your mom about it, she's a slut who suffered quite a lot...even you know how hard it is to let go when Marcus beat the sh*t out of you" the palm of his hand meets my face. I cup my cheek. I feel the tears stinging my eyes. He pulls me into a hug. I feel his heart pick up a pace.

"I know it's not easy Tris..." I cry "let everything out...because it's hurting you Tris"

"He's gone..." I say. He's actually gone...

Ahh!!! Ik sorry...I had this planned out but I didn't think I would bring it out this quickly. Comment. Vote. Thanks.
