I'm sitting next to Taren's hospital bed. I've been here all day. I haven't left his side. I can't believe this happened. We should have just put Olivia in first and none of this would have happened.
Ugh!
"Hey Five," Raylan says walking in "you seem tense, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." I lie.
"Okay." He says
He bought it, yay.
"Now tell me what's really going on." He says
Dang it.
"Fine." I cave in "I'm frustrated because Taren is in here, and it's all my fault because I figured 'hey we're Dauntless we can take care of it'. Ugh!"
"Okay, calm down." Madison says
She came in behind Raylan along with Shawn.
"Taren is our friend too." She says gesturing to Raylan and Shawn. "He will come back. He'll come back to you."
"How do you know?" I ask
"During initiation, everytime you helped out, which was almost everyday, he would look at you. He tried to cover it up, but when you know him well enough, you can tell the difference. But I'm sure you've already heard that." Shawn explains.
"Actually, I haven't." I say
"Just know, he really loves you." Madison says
I just look at Taren. His chocolate brown hair, and I just wish I could see his light grey eyes. Taren's hair is usually buzz cut, but it's a bit grown out now.
A few hours go by and it's just Taren and I in the room. I lean back in my chair and I knock over my crutches. I groan. I lean over and pick them up.
Patrick did break my leg. I can't believe they wanted Olivia to be ranked first so bad that they almost killed me, and potentially killed Taren. I don't want to loose him. I can't loose him.
The next day I'm, again, sitting next to Taren. I didn't want to leave last night, but the nurses insisted I leave. I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't help but think about him. I just keep hoping for the best. If I loose him...I don't know what I'll do.
Time seems to stand still in this room. I know it doesn't, but it seems like it. Before I know it, two weeks go by. Three weeks go by.
Nothing has changed. Still no brain activity. I've cried a lot the past few weeks.
Tori has been letting me take off work. I still wear the bracelet though. I still have on the boot for my broken leg. I still have crutches. I'm supposed to get it off in three weeks.
"Taren," I say leaning up to him "I know you can hear me. Please be able to hear me. I love you. I can't loose you."
I'm starting to cry.
"Please, come back to me." I say "Please."
Nothing happens. I figured. I could still hope for him to come back.
I hear the door open. I see who it is.
"Carter?" I question "What are you doing here?"
"I figured, since you helped me with my fears and Taren helped me with fighting, I would come." Carter says
"It's been three weeks." I say
"Work has been busy." She says
"What made you pick the tattoo parlor?" I ask "Considering you are the first ranked initiate."
"My mom used to tell me that I had an eye for detail and when I drew I would get a lot of small detail." She explains "I love to draw, so why not do body art?"
She sits down in the chair next to me. I see the tattoo an her wrist. It's the number eight surrounded by what looks like a snake that is trying to eat it's tail. I remember one of her fears was being attacked by snakes.
"Do you think he will wake up?" Carter asks moving her hand through the top of her hair to get the hair out of her face.
I look at her.
"I hope so." I say
"How's your leg?" She asks
"Not hurting at the moment." I say "I get the boot off in three weeks."
"Nice." She says
We just sit there for a few minutes and then Carter speaks up again.
"Thanks for talking with me about the whole friendship thing." Carter says
"Your welcome." I say "How are things with your friends?"
"They are going pretty well." She says
"Any...guys that you like?" I ask "Usually initiates meet their significant other during initiation."
She looks down at her shoes.
"Maybe..." She says slowly.
"Okay, spill it." I say turning to face her.
"Okay, okay." She says "It's...William."
"He's pretty good." I say "He seems like I nice guy."
"Yeah," she says with a smile "he is."
I smile at her. I remember falling in love with Taren. Having a crush is pretty good, but it can also end in heartbreak.
(A/N)
Hey y'all hope you enjoyed the chapter! So Taren is in the hospital. Carter came to visit him. Carter has a crush on William. It's true crushes can end in heartbreak, I know. I don't have a crush now though. The picture is Carter's wrist tattoo. So tell me what y'all think.
