(btw this is more of a filler chapter)
Tris' POV
I'm lying on a pitch black cloud. I can't feel or see anything, but every now and then a whisper or part of a sentence will drift up from the ground below. I feel comfortable where I am, so I don't pursue the noise coming from below, I just continue to ride my cloud of darkness across the empty sky.

Tobias' POV
It's been a week now, and she hasn't woken up. I visit her every afternoon, begging for her to wake up and tell me to stop being a baby, but it never happens. It's almost as if she is trying to leave everything else behind and just rest. I hate to break it to you Tris, but you need to get off your lazy ass and yell at me!
It's been an uneventful couple of days. The hawk has gone under ground, which I'm thankful for, because now I can devote every second of my time to waiting at Tris' door. But I feel.... purposeless without her presence. I guess it's been like that for a while. Ever since we were kids, she was my opposing force that kept me balance.... and now she's gone, I'm like a broken toy. I've tried to think of ways to distract myself from my grief, but with no word from hawk and Six having gone a wall I have nothing to do but wait. I figured that I might as well tick of my third fear, (hurting innocent people) as Tris was the most innocent person I know and I found a way to hurt her.

Zeke and Uriah have helped me through it most of the time. Shauna,Marlene and Christina drop in to visit Tris every day or so, every visit walking out crying. It seems as if the world has just stopped without Tris. Her parents are out of work until she recovers. I've been excused from school because of my 'delicate mental state', and when I asked Zeke and Uriah, they said that no one in the school smiles anymore. The hallways are quiet, everyone casually avoided the red mark left from where Tris collapsed. As for Eric, well he has been convicted to 2 years prison for female assault. I was hoping that he would be hung but apparently that isn't used in society anymore. Damn it...
That's ok though. I'll just have to kill him when he gets out. But until then, I'm the over protective boyfriend sitting by his girlfriend's hospital bed. Never leaving. Rarely sleeping. Just sitting ....watching her.

Sorry for the short chapter but there wasn't much more I could write until she wakes up (which is happening next chapter). Soz for the spoiler 😈
