Stay with me

Ch. 20

Tris p.o.v:
All through the week, I started to believe what I heard was false back in the waiting room of the clinic. Tobias, as usual, went about helping me get around. I still couldn't walk. Big surprise. I could stand a little longer than before, which I guess is an improvement. I just don't feel like I'm improving.

Everything went fine for two days after my appointment, but then I started to have this gut feeling that something is wrong. I can't explain it. But maybe what I heard isn't so far from the truth after all.

~Two days later after appointment~

I'm snuggled against Tobias on the bed with his arm around my waist. I'm woken up by Tobias' fingers running through my hair. I open my eyes to look into his beautiful blue eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning, handsome." I smile at him.

Tobias places a kiss on my forehead. "We should probably get up now."

Tobias starts to get up but I protest. "Tobias no."

Tobias looks at me and chuckles. "No what, Tris?"

"I don't want to get up right now."

"Too bad. You have to get up so we can eat." With that Tobias gets off the bed and picks me up bridal style.

"I'm not hungry." I pout.

"Tris you know you have to eat."

"Yeah. Were you telling yourself that back when I was in a coma?"

"Tris, we discussed this. I got food in my system, I just wanted to avoid people."

"Yeah. I know. I'm mad at how you didn't feed yourself properly when I was in the coma. And if it weren't for Christiania, I really don't know what would've happened."

"Tris it's over. We're back together again." He lean in to give him a kiss. "Now about food?"

"Sounds good."

Tobias sets down on the couch, while he calls Valerie. These past couple of days we have gotten more clothes. Although, I loved it when Tobias went around shirtless.

Tobias came to sit next to me while we waited for Valerie to come with our food. I had my head on his shoulder when we heard a knock on the door. Tobias went to door to answer it.

"Hey Valerie."

"Hello Tobias. Um, here's your food." Mhm. I wonder why Valerie didn't bother saying hi to me? Does Valerie not see me sitting on the couch?

"Thanks, Valerie." Tobias said to Valerie and was about to shut the door when Valerie stopped him.

"Can I speak to you for a moment?"

"Yeah, sure. What's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you that the dress Tris had on when she went to her appointment, I barely recognized her."

"Did you now Valerie?"

"Yeah. Also when Tris comes out in public I want her in a dress. Something different. You know so people don't recognize her. Then people will start to tell everyone and which then a certain someone would know."
