Divergent

Chapter 32

Uriah and i arrive at the hospital within minutes. We used our sirens, more like uriah used his sirens. I was in a daze for the whole car ride. The only thing on my mind is four.

Is he okay?
Is he awake?
Is he in pain?

All the questions rushing through my head lead back to me. This is my fault. He saved me and put himself in danger. I should have done something to help him.

"Beatrice, Mr.Eaton is stable. His vitals are good. We will be keeping him over night to make sure he stays in this state... He's been asking for you." The doctor informs me.

"Is he hurt?" I worriedly ask.

"Some bruises and cuts. Nothing major. There was a nasty gash on the back of his head. But we patched it up and he's as good as new." The doctor replies and I stand up.

"Can I see him?" I ask.

"Room 312." He replies and I rush down the corridor. I get to Fours room and see him sitting on a white cot. A goofy smile is on his face and tubes are connected to his wrist and chest.

"Thank god you're okay." I sigh and go to his side.

"I'm fiiine." He chuckles with a distant look on his face. He tugs me onto the cot and wraps his arms around me.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He slurs.
"The question is, are you okay?" I ask with furrowed eyebrows. His head lolls to the side and I quickly steady him. A giggle escapes his mouth and he twists a lock of my hair between his fingers.

"You're pretty, I'm really lucky to have you.... Did you know that? That you're pretty? Because you always act like you're lower than everyone else, you're really higher than them all. Even me. You just don't see it." He rants. A knock interrupts us and I look over too see the doctor entering the small room.

"I forgot to inform you, Mr.Eaton has been given some heavy duty pain killers and sleeping pills. The gash on the back of his head was bound to give him a headache. It's better to give patients the medications before the pain starts." He informs me.

"I kind of figured that." I laugh in relief. Four drags me so my back is pressed against my neck. A blush rises up my cheeks and the doctor chuckles in amusement.

"You always smell good, what is that? Strawberries?" Four mumbles.

"If you need anything let me know." The doctor adds and leaves the room.

"Oh my god." I whisper in embarrassment. Four pulls away and presses a kiss to my cheek.

"You're cute when you blush." He murmurs.
"Okay four, time for bed." I laugh and try to get up. He pulls me to his side and forces me to lay down next to him.

"I need my trissybear to sleep." He replies and nuzzles my neck.

"You're going to regret this in the morning." I laugh out.
____________
"I did not." Four protests with wide eyes.
"Yes you did." I laugh and rest my chin on my knees.

"Oh my god." He grunts and let's his head fall back on his pillows. He winces and i wince along with him.

"You shouldn't have covered me like that. You got hurt saving me." I whisper with a frown.

"I wasn't going to let you get hurt. Besides, I'm fine." He reassured and links our hands together. His eyes wander around the room and he looks back at me.

"If only I could get out of this hellhole." He adds with a dramatic sigh. I roll my eyes and look towards the TV.

"The doctor is bringing the release papers to us now. Just relax." I laugh out. He presses a kiss to my neck and I nudge him away.

"The doctor is not going to walk in on you kissing me again." I state. He pours in reply and I press a quick kiss to his cheek. I turn back to the tv and his arm wraps around me.

Within minutes there's a knock on the door and the doctor enters the room. He smiles at me then shakes fours hand.

"If you would sign right here, you're free to go." He states and hands four a paper. He points to the line four has to sign, and four quickly scribbles down his signature. He immediately hops out of bed and the doctor quickly objects.

"A nurse will wheel you out. We don't want you falling and getting hurt due to the head injury." He says and I push Four so he's sitting back on the cot.

"I can easily walk." Four days through clenched teeth.

"I'm sure you can. But it's a safety precaution." The doctor repeats and grabs the phone off the wall.

"Please send a wheel chair up to room 312." He says then hangs up. He turns to me and smiles.

"Please keep him away from work for three days. He may get dizzy spells, that's normal. If they last for more than half an hour at a time, that's bad so I need you to call me right away. These are his medications, use only as directed. They should be enough to subside the pain, if not give me a call. Mr. Eaton is not allowed out of bed for the rest of today, please make sure that his bandages are changed every six hours or so. Last but not least, he needs to relax. The more sleep he gets, the quicker he should heal." The doctor sternly lists. He gives Four a firm nod, then smiles at me.

"It was nice meeting you two." He adds and leaves the room just as a nurse enters. She gives Four a flirty smile and I glare at her. She starts to help him into the wheel chair but he quickly dodges her hand and sits down.

"Tris you don't mind wheeling me out, do you?" He asks. My heart swells at the fact that he just flat out rejected the pretty brunette. Then he looked at me as if to comfort me with his eyes.

A smile lights up my face and I nod.
"I'm fine with that." I agree and quickly grab the handles of his chair. The nurse starts to object but I start pushing him down the corridor. She silently follows after us.
