Chapter 37

I've been extremely busy and I think my english teacher hates us...I had to read a whole book and write about it, do two expositions and I have to turn in an essay about greek mythology due to this week!

Enjoy if you still read this, if you do, thank you for your patience!

Tris' POV

Tobias just left a while a go. Initiates training starts today and he has to be at the training room by 6 so he can set up and prepare everything. He woke up half and hour ago, waking me up aswell as he got himself ready.

- I'll be back - He said, giving me a warning look, silently telling me not to leave the apartment. I sigh in annoyment, already bored even though just half an hour had passed since he left.

Since I am not known for following orders I make the decision to leave the apartment and pay Christina a visit. And Will of course. He was also shot and I have no idea how he is. I exit the place I noe consider my home, locking the door behind me and take my time to Christina's since my leg stills bothers me a lot. If the bullet had reached the bone I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to walk less run without having to go through therapy first.

When I finally arrive, I knock at the door and patiently wait for Christina to answer.

- Who is? - I hear her say in a sing-song voice, muffled by the closed door.

- Your best friend! - I jockly say, even though I do consider her my best friend despite being total opposites.

- TRIS!! - She yells, yanking the door open and pulling me inside with enough force to leave me breathless. I whimper because of the sudden move that caused my leg to sting. Noticing this, Christina hurries to apologize but I dismiss it with a gesture of my hand. I plop myself on her couch and after closing the door, she skips towards, taking a seat next to me.

- Hey, Christina, How've you been? - I ask her, feeling really guilty about not talking to her and not visiting before.

- I'm fine! - She says, perky as always but she looks tired, with bags under her eyes, but I know she is not lying, nit because she comes from Candor but because I know her. - I was worried sick about you!! when were you realesed from the hospital?

I think about it for a minute - Like two days ago or so...-

I wait for her to burst and I am not dissapointed.

- What!?? - She exclaims with wide eyes and fake hurt and surprised etched out on her face - and you didn't pay me a visit!?

- I'm sorry - I say, lowering my gaze in shame and remorse - but how is Will doing? I heard he was shot aswell.

Christina nods and I see how much it affected her, her boyfriend and best friend both hurt, almost dying and she couldn't do anything to stop it from happening.

- He is fine but he is still in the hospital, I will check on him later on if you want to come with me? - She asks, hope seeping through her voice. I accept without doubt, not thinking about the consequences.

- But Four cannot find out - I hurriedly say. Christina gives me a suspicious look and silently asks me to elaborate - I wasn't suppose to leave the apartment at all actually...- I scratch the back of my neck, a nervous tik I picked up from Tobias.

- Ohh Tris is a naughty girl - Christina mockingly sings. I softly swat her on her arm and she giggles but it soon turns into a full laughter and I can't do anything but join her.

While wiping the tears off my face I silently thank God for giving such and amazing friend like her. I really missed her.

We walk, well, Christina walks while I limp and she patiently waits for me, to the hospital to visit Will. Visiting hours doesn't start till noon but with me being a leader I manage to get us a free pass. The east aile, where Will's room is located, looks like a ghost hallway. Deserted and cold. My eyes soon get tired of looking at so much white so it is a is relief for me to find Will's room.

- Hey, babe - Will greets without raising his gaze, assuming I'm Christina.

- Hey, babe - I mock him in a high pitched voice. Startled by this, his head snaps in my direction. I can't help but laugh at his face while Christina just stands there amused by our exchange.

- Tris! - Will exclaims, happiness evident in his tone. I just smile and give him a little wave. We sit ourselves on the chairs located by his bed and chat for a little while.

- How have you been, Tris? - Will asks.

- I should ask you that, you were the ine seriuoslu injured but you are still asking me how I am. Are you sure you are not abnegation? - I joke. Will winks and me and that set us off into a fit of laughter. Christina looks annoyed at first but I nudge her on her side and she joins.

The door slams open and an angry looking nurse appears.

- Shut up, will you!? - She spits and I am pretty sure I see steam coming out of her ears.

- Yes, I am Will - Will says. It take us a moment to register the joke but once we do, we start laughing again, this time harder and louder. I am sure my face is as red as the nurse's. She just rolls her eyes at us and leaves.

- Amazing! - I gasp out. Christina nods in agreenment and Will holds onto his side. At this qe sober up and look at him with worried expressions.

- I am fine - He reasures us. I open my mouth to say something but the door bursts open again and a security man comes in and grabs me by my elbow.

- What the hell do you think you are doing!? - I yell at him, he flinches bacj un surprise but doesn't let go of my elbow.

- You are coming with me.

- No, I am not. - I stubbornly say. He just sighs and takes out his cellphone.

- Want me to call Four? - I paled at the mention of my boyfriend's nickname, knowing that if he finds out that I left the apartment, there will be hell to pay. I jist shake my head and the guard takes me out. I wave goodbye to my wide eyed friends and am dragged to the dauntless compound.

The guard, whose name I learnt is Roger, sets me down at the entrance. My leg started bothering me so he offered to carry me. I wave goodbye at him and he nods at me. I walk the rest of the path to the apartment, fumble with the key and open the door to find an unexpected view.

A guy is sitting on the couch, his torse exposed as he is shirtless. His shoulders slumped, his head in a bow. He has light brown hair that seems dirty, just like his body is, apart from some cuts, he seems to be fine. But when his head snaps towards me, I know that nothing is okay. His green eyes are covered in pain and dispair, emotions that I will soon see reflected in mine.

- Caleb - his name escapes from my mouth in a whisper, almost soundless.

- Beatrice - He says, breathes out, my name, with difficulty. His voice is raspy and his bloodshot eyes look at me, asking me something but I don't know what it is. I can her the pain laced in his voice and it tears me apart.

I slowly march towards him and kneel in front of him being careful with my wounded leg, one of my hands resting on his thigh, which covered by black pants that I have no idea where he got them from. My other hand caress his cheek in slow motion, trying to ease his suffering. The tension seems to be leaving his body and I see a small smile forming on his face, but it is soon wiped off by the loud sound of the door being slammed shut.

An angry Tobias is standing there, looking at me with betrayed eyes. My eyes widen at the realisation of how must this look for him. Me kneeling in front of ma handsome shirtless guy while caressen his face. Caleb seems to have come up with the same thought because he looks at me with fear.

Yes, dear brother, we should fear what's coming next.
