Emergent (Divergent 4)

Tobias

Chapter 32

Today, I decide to take Alex and Liv to go see Tris. I'm not sure if I want to see her this way, but I have to be there for her.

When I'm at the front desk, I ask,"Can I see Beatrice Eaton?" "Are you family?"the man sitting at the desk questions. He looks suspicious, but I don't know why. Nodding, I reply,"Yes, I'm her husband, Tobias Eaton." Still looking suspicious, the man answers,"She's in room 46." "Thank you."

While walking down the hall, I pray that Tris will be okay. I couldn't image how terrible it would be to live without her. She's my life, and without her, there is no point in living.

I put my hand up to the door, not knowing what will be inside. "Come on, Tobias. You can do this," I mutter to myself.

I turn the handle to see a pale and weak looking Tris lying in the hospital bed. Tears fill my eyes, but I will not let them go any farther. I can't cry, I have to stay strong for Tris.

I walk over to her, and sit next to her on the bed. While brushing hair out of her face, I whisper,"Tris, please wake up. I love you."

I rock Alex and Liv to sleep, and gently lie them next to Tris. A tear runs down my face when I realize that this perfect family, my perfect family, couldn't be the same if Tris didn't make it.

I lace my hands through hers; they feel cold, and more bony than before. "Tris, you have to wake up. Do it for me, Tris please, I can't live without you. I know this sounds selfish, and I'm supposed to be Abnegation, but I don't care anymore. I don't care about anything else anymore; all I need is my family, and you're part if that. I love you." Crying, I put my face into my hands. I could have stopped this, I could have pushed her away when she saved me. It was obvious that she was going to do it, that's just who she is. Why couldn't I see that?

I cry for hours, praying and hoping that she will live. That's all I can do; pray, and have hope. Maybe even have faith. I do have faith in Tris, and I know she wouldn't want to leave me. I do all of these: pray, hope, and have faith. But the question is, will that be enough?

"Tobias?" The voice is low, but sweet, and definitely familiar. I look up, to see Tris's eyes open, staring at me. She's alive, it was enough, and it always will be.
