Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 11

I woke up to agonizing pain in my head. I groaned, my voice coming out raspy. Voices filled my ears. But all I could feel was the pain. Agonizing pain in my head. I weakly brought my hand up to my head and felt thick bandaging. I yelped in pain.
"Tris?" I heard several voices ask with worry.

I cracked open my eyes. The lights hitting my eyes. I was surprised at how many people were around me. It had to be at least 8 people. I cringed in pain. "My head- hurts," I said quietly to my mom, who sat next to me.

"Okay, I'll get the nurse," she said gently.

I blinked the sleep out of my eyes. "You okay trissy?" Christina asked me.

Everyone's talking had ceased, eyes on me.

"Yeah," I said weakly.

I flinched in pain as my head pounded.
I looked at four with pleading eyes. The door opened and a nurse came in. "Hello Beatrice. Oh my- you're very popular," she said with surprise.

I smiled weakly. I felt tired. But the pain in my head stung.
"Seems you're having discomfort?" SHe asked as she made her way through my friends.

"Y-yeah," I said, then coughing.

"Okay, I'm going to just check your incision sight real quick. This might hurt a bit," she said gently.

Everyone regained talking to one another. The pretty nurse, probably about 30 years old, slowly started unwrapping my head bandages. I flinched as she peeled away the bandages. "Everything looks okay Beatrice. But I will need everyone who isn't direct family to leave the room so I can give you your check up," she said gently.

Everyone nodded and said their good byes. I now noticed the piles of flowers, balloons and teddy bears littering my room. Once all of my friends were gone she grabbed her clip board. I was tired. So tired. She started rewrapping my head and Zeke sat in a chair right next to me, holding my cold hand. Uriah and mom sat next to him. "Okay, I'm going to check your ribs real quick, make sure nothing is punctured."

She pushed her hands up my gown and against my chest. I cringed as she pressed down. She slowly pushed her fingers over my chest and I gasped in pain. "Okay Beatrice. Everything seems okay. This pain will last for a week or so. it's very common," she said pulling my dress back underneath the covers.

I could barely focus on anything she said. I was too exhausted. "Do you know when she'll be out of here?" My mom asked.

"Right now I'm not sure, we'll have to just wait and see," the nurse said with a small smile.

"I'm just gonna take your blood pressure and check you arm and I'll be on my way," she said with a small smile.

I felt my eyes shift shut but I tried so hard to listen and stay awake.
"I'm tired," I said softly.

"Okay, just stay awake for a few more minutes. I'm almost done," she said.

All I heard was jumbled words, nothing anyone said was making sense. I felt the weights on my bandaged arm disappear and a sharp pain stung it. I glanced over slowly, flinching away.
"Stop," I whined in pain.

"Beatrice, she's helping you," mom said softly.

"You're okay Trissy," Uriah said.

I glanced at my arm. It had a large sewn up slash from where the wrench struck me and my whole arm was covered in bruises. In fact. My whole body was, from what I could see. I couldn't believe that this was all because of peter. I almost died because of peter. Once the nurse was done checking up on me, i immediately fell asleep.

I woke up to my mom gone and Zeke, Uriah, and four laying on the couch and in chairs, dozed off. "Mom?" I asked, with distress.

I spotted a note beside me, and picked it up. "I'm so sorry honey. Work called. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Then it all came out. I started sobbing. It burned my chest, but I couldn't stop. My aching chest releasing a scream of pain.
They were all immediately awake, and by my side.
"Are you in pain? What's wrong?" Zeke said attempting to soothe me.

I just sobbed louder, holding my chest in pain. "No!" I screamed.

"You're okay. Shhhhhhhh," Uriah said gently sitting next to me.

"I hate him!" I yelled, my weak voice sounding frail and empty.

"Tris you're okay," four said.

I just cried. And cried. And cried. Everything I was holding in. Zeke carefully climbed next to me and as gently as he could, pulled me into his chest. Uriah and four sat back down, with their heads in their hands.
I just put my head in his chest and cried as he gently rubbed my back and held me against him.
My ribs ached as I sobbed, until I eventually fell asleep.

I woke up to an empty room. Well an almost empty room. Only 1 person was in the room. Four. I attempted to sit up but I had no strength. My body couldn't move. I slowly turned my head towards him. He was staring at me, his stormy blue eyes focused on me. "Hey," I said quietly.

"How do you feel?" He asked.

"Honestly. My whole boy hurts and I feel sick to my stomach," I said reaching for my phone.

Before I turned it on I could the reflection of me. I looked awful. I had dark bruises covering my face and I looked thin. And I looked like literally hell. Before my phone could even turn on, Four snatched it from my hands. "No screen time. You need to heal and that will slow you down," he said.

I frowned and gave him an angry look. He laughed. "Don't make fun of me......." I said my eyes feeling heavy once again.
I started to shut them but I opened them again to four, sitting in a pulled up chair. "Peter........ he hurt me," I said weakly.

"I know tris," he said.

"No, four....... he HURT me," I said weakly.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

I stayed silent, pinching my eyes closed.

"Tris?" He asked slowly.

I paused, a tear falling down my face, "he touched me."

Fury ignited in his eyes.

"Did he-......." he seemed choked up in anger, "did he rape you?"

"No......... he just, - touched me. Al stopped him........" I was so tired I started to close my eyes again.

Four stood up, anger boiling inside of him, but before he could leave, I grabbed his hand weakly and pulled on his wrist. "Please-......." I said pulling his arm.

He immediately understood and moved down to lay with me. He ever so carefully pulled me into his arms, holding me against him. It caused pain to attack every inch of my body but I held him close to me. He ran his hands through my hair gently. "Where is Zeke- and Uriah," I said, the tube underneath my nose itching.

"They went to school. I offered to stay behind today," four said.

"Oh." I simply said.

My whole body hurt, well ached. And I was already loaded up with pain medicine. I just wanted to sleep. But the feeling of fours arms around me were the most perfect feeling I had ever felt. All the tubs coming from me were tangled between us, but we didn't care.
I felt my eyes close as I listened to his soft breathing.
