I know this isn't much, but you guys deserved and update so here it is.

Tobias

I sigh, and twirl a piece of her hair in between my fingers. Last night was so nice, it was the first time she has been well enough for me to fully be with her.

I lay my head down on her chest, and listen to her heartbeat. It's slow and steady, I start to move my head and all of a sudden it gets faster and faster.

Her eyes shoot open and she grabs my hand, her skin is cold and clammy. She cries hysterically.

"Tris, what's wrong?" She shakes her head and grabs my collar, burying her face into my shirt , shaking and sobbing.

I bring her closer and start stroking her hair, she releases a blood curdling scream.

"TRIS, WHAT'S WRONG?!?" I grab her shoulders and by this point am shaking her a bit. Her grip releases and she goes limp, her eyes rolling inside her head.

"TRIS, TALK TO ME! STAY WITH ME! TRIS!" I cradle her head in my lap, tears streaming down my face and onto her pale skin. Her eyes drift slightly open.

"Hurts" She mouths, and they start to close again.

"Tris, Babe, stay with me! You're going to be okay. Help is on the way. It's okay, it's okay. Stay awake, stay with me." She nods, then winces from the action.

"My head-" I carefully stroke her sweaty forehead, and push her hair out of her eyes.

"Sh-shhhh, it's okay. Don't move, relax, just- just stay awake."

She smiles weakly at me, and mouths the words

'I love you.' And her eyes shut.
