Chapter Eighteen cont...

(Just warning you this is unedited)

I don't remember much about what happened after that.

The doctors finally came and pried me off of her, I remember everything got blurry, from my tears or something else I don't know, but it did. I couldn't see anything clearly, and everything sounded muffled.

All I could think was that nobody ever told Christina Tris was alive; she came back here and saw her plugged up to a machine and was told that her surgery went wrong. She deserved to know the truth, all of it, so I decided to pay her a visit.

I walk up to her office, and try to brace myself for the encounter that is about to happen. Christina has no filter and certainly is strong so this could get interesting. When I walk in she is crouched over a desk, with dozens of papers flying around. Her eyes land on me and narrow to slits.

"Is there something you want to tell me Four?" I start to speak but she raises a hand to silence me, spitting her words like venom.

"No- don't even. Do you know what it's like to believe that your best friend is dead for TWO YEARS? Then come to work and see her lying there on a hospital bed, UNCONCIOUS?" Her eyes are selling with angry tears.

Now I am steaming.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK LIKE THAT! For TWO YEARS I believed the love of my life was dead, and it was my fault. Then I came home and saw her lying in a weak heap on my bed! She was in a coma on the verge of death! Then she went into surgery and went back under! The doctors didn't think she would ever wake up! SHE IS DYING IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW! DO YOU HEAR ME? I MAY NEVER SEE HER AGAIN! I MAY NEVER SEE THE ONLY GOOD THING TO EVER COME IN MY LIFE!" Her eyes soften and she reaches out tenderly for my arm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's just- I've lost so many people, and I'm scared for Tris. She is my best friend and I can't lose her." Now my eyes well with tears and I collapse into a chair, she leans over me and wraps her arms lightly around my shoulders. I begin howling like an animal.

"SHE IS DYING ALL OVER AGAIN! I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! I AM FORCED TO WATCH AS SHE SLOWLY BURNS OUT! SOON THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT OF HER! SHE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS! SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON ALL HER LIFE AND WHAT GOOD DID THAT DO FOR HER?" I am violently shuddering, Christina holds me upright, talking slow and smooth, to calm me.

"Hey, It's okay, It's okay to cry. This isn't fair, none of it should have happend, but it did and we have to deal with it.

Tris will be fine, she is a fighter, she will fight for you. She still has that Abnegation selflessness in her, she won't leave you... I promise." I look up but can't see her face through the blur of tears.

"How can you promise such a thing? How do you know everything will be okay?" She takes a deep breath and sighs

"I don't, but if we don't have hope then what do we have left?

Maybe... Maybe it's time to go see her. Together." I nod my head and she wraps one of my arms around her neck, and helps me up, pulling me into her side so she can help support me, and we head to the hospital section of the Bureau.

Tris is awake leaning against the headboard, she is pale, and I can see her hair sticking to her sweaty forehead. Her face lights up when she sees me, she is about to say something when her eyes land on Christina and I see a million things dance in her head, joy, grief, and guilt.

"Chris," She begins but Christina runs over to her despite the doctors protests and pulls her into the tightest hug I've ever seen. Tris coughs from lack of air and immediately is released.

"Sorry" Christina mumbles, her eyes glassy with tears for a moment, and then she snaps out of it.

"You Missy, have a lot of explaining to do." Tris sighs, and jumps into her story, instead of watching Christina's face during this I watch Tris's. I watch her face go from anger as she talks about her mother, to joy when she recollected about our reunion, leaving out specific details, and to pain when she talks about how she was awake during the surgery.

She never told me that before, I had no idea, and I don't know how to make the pain of that go away. I feel a sudden and deep hatred for whoever did this to her. They were going to pay.
