Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 13

I woke up to a something choking me. I clenched the bedsheets. A tube was shoved down my throat. I weakly reached my hand up to try and get whatever was choking me, but another pair of hands beat me to it. In a second it was out and I
was taking a deep breath. I glanced up to see a doctor, doing something with the tube. I looked around the room and found Zeke, Uriah, and Four. They widened in worry. I tried to talk but my throats hurt. "You're in the ICU, you had a seizure. We believe the brain surgery lead to this. We'll need you to stay in the ICU overnight to make sure you have no deficits. We'll get you to a recovery room after that," the doctor said beside Me.

"Mom?" I asked.

They all looked at each other with pitiful looks, before Uriah spoke up," mom said she couldn't make it."

My heart felt like it was broken into a million pieces. My mother always did this. Her work was much more important then me. I felt a tear fall down my face and Uriah brushed it away. "No matter what, nwe'll be here," Zeke said trying to smile.

1 week later

I was feeling much better. I could actually sit up and not be in complete pain. My head still hurt like a bitch but not like before. And I was actually starting to eat. But they expected me to be another 2 and a half weeks in the hospital. Which sucked. I couldn't really move and I had to get checkups everyday.

I missed my mom. She hasn't even come to see me once, and the dreadful room was getting a bit boring. All my friends had just left and it was just me, Zeke, Uriah, four, and Chrissy.
Chrissy sat in the bed with my, drawing
A design on my cast. "This is so childish Chrissy," I said rolling my eyes.

"No it's not! I'm making it look cool!" She replied.

There was a soft tap at the door and we all stopped and glanced up. "Come in," Uriah yelled.

The door opened and my stomach dropped. It was Al. I felt the air in my body leave. "Hey tris," he said.

I gasped, my eyes staring at him in horror. Zeke was already on his feet. I watched in terror as he slammed Al against the wall, punching him hard in the face. "ZEKE!" I screamed.

Four grabbed him and yanked him off of Al. Then Uriah grabbed Zeke and they held him against the wall. Al stepped towards me. "I'm so sorry," he said

"No! Stay away from me!" I screamed.

His face held guilt. "PLEASE GET HIM OUT!" I yelled.

Four immediately shoved him out and slammed the door. Christina sat in front of me protectively. "Tris I'm sorry. Zeke tried but I shook my head painfully.

"It's okay tris," Chrissy said before hugging me.

1 Week Later

Today was the first day they were going to let me walk since my attack. I was beyond excited. But again, my mom hadn't been here to see me since the incident. It was just Zeke and Four. Uriah was with Marlene. My nurse came in with a vibrant smile and I smiled back at her. "Today's the day!" She said with a smile.

After giving me a small check up, she helped me sit up and tied my dress together. Zeke and Four helped me stay up. I winced with every movement as it sent pain through my body. "Okay tris, we're gonna get you on your feet," the nurse said.

"Okay," I said, flinching.

Four and Zeke grabbed my arms and wrapped their arms behind me on my waist. "Okay, 1, 2 , 3," the nurse said and they lifted me to my feet.

I nearly collapsed but they held me up. "Good job Ri," Zeke said in my ear.

It hurt a lot, but it was worth it. They slowly urged me and I took a weak step. I hurt a lot. It was so painful. "I can't," I said in pain.

"Please let me sit down," I said.

They looked at the nurse and she shook her head. "No, it's normal to be in pain, but you have to keep walking or you won't want to ever get it over with," she said.

Thy urged me to take another step and I did, cringing in pain. It was a pretty successful day, in my opinion.
