Tris
I'm sprinting behind an unconscious Tobias. He's on a medical stretcher with multiple people dragging him through the corridors of the Bureau. I'm sobbing uncontrollably while trying to keep up with the many medics. People peek their heads through the doors of their apartments, curious to see what's going on. A lot gasp, most just whisper.
"Did she do that?"
"I heard they broke up."
"How could she do such a thing?"
"I knew she wasn't going to be good for him."
"Now look what she's done!"
It's all too much. Too much to process, to handle. Panic. I can't deal with all of this, I need Tobias. Pain. Suddenly, I feel like the world is shrinking, everyone disappears and I'm stuck in a space that's too small. I can't breathe. Now I'm gasping for air, desperately trying to get enough oxygen into my lungs. It's not working, I can't breathe. I can't breathe! I wrap my hands around my neck in a pathetic attempt to get more air into my system. It hurts, oh God it hurts.
"Goddammit Tris!" Someone yells. Instantly, I snap out of my little episode. The world comes back into focus, everyone starts to come into my vision again. I can hear, I can see but more importantly I can breathe. I take a deep breath in and let the air spread through my body again. Cold, pure air.
I turn around to face the person that snapped me out of my little moment.
"Hey." She says slowly, hesitantly.
"Christina." I whisper. She smiles weakly at me. I really shouldn't be talking to her. I shouldn't even be near here.
"Please Tris." She begs. I shake my head. I want to hear her explanation, I really do. Just not now.
"Not now." I say dismissing her. She nods her head solemnly and follows me to the hospital.

We enter the hospital. Tobias slips in and out of consciousness every now and then. At the moment he's gripping on to my shirt with so much need it's tearing me apart. He looks up at me with so much guilt and pain it hurts. I don't look at him with pity, I look at him with love.
"I'm sorry Miss but we need to take him to surgery immediately." My eyes snap on to the lady with the clipboard in her hands.
"Right now?"
"Yes. We've done a brief inspection of his wounds and he's in a critical condition. He'll die if we don't operate on him as soon possible." I let those words soak in. I've got to let him go.
"Okay." I say reluctantly. They begin to roll him away but Tobias is still clutching on to my shirt. He looks at me with pleading eyes. My gaze wanders over to the knife sticking out of his stomach.
"It'll be okay." I say looking back at him. "I'll be right here when you come out. I love you Tobias." He nods his head. He tries to say something along the lines of 'I love you' but it comes out muffled.
"I 'ove ''u" He says.
"Be brave Tobias." He slowly lets go of my shirt and they wheel him out of sight.
