Divergent High

{ eight }

So like I mentioned, last chapter was the only chapter mentioning the vacation because this is where shit starts happening and the story starts escalating. Love you all, xoxo

Myself and everyone else are not back on a plane ready to fly home to Chicago. The trip to Florida was amazing, it brought not only me and all my friends more close together but it also brought Tobias and I close together and I am forever grateful for that.

We are all seated as the plane is escalating high and higher. As we get to the maximum height where we continue on to Chicago the speakers above go off signaling that we have an incoming message from either a flight attendant or the Pilot them self.

"Don't be alarmed, we are coming up on high turbulence as we enter a storm. Nothing major but please stay sea-" the intercom is distracted by the plane shaking and the oxygen masks coming down from the ceiling dangling in front of our faces. Oh god. What is happening?

"Everyone please remain seated. The plane is going down, everyone put on your oxygen masks and stay calm." Stay calm? How the LIVING FUCK am I supposed to stay calm as we are plummeting from the sky. Will Tobias be okay? Tobias! I'm over here sitting with Christina because we wanted bonding whole Tobias is probably freaking out, oh my god.

What am I going to do? I lift my oxygen mask up and place it on my face, making sure it's secure. I will not be dying today. Not today.

I lift my body from the seat, looking around for Tobias. I see him, his head is frantically looking around, his arms are struggling to get something off of him, but nothing's there. He's freaking out. His eyes meet mine immediately and his body calms but only a second later his eyes go back to panicking.

I am about to scream for his name when a burst of pain occurs throughout my body and the darkness takes over.

I hear beeping all around as feet shuffle through the room I'm stationed in and voices come in and out. A hospital? What is going on? Images start flooding back to my head, the trip, the plane, the crash. My eyes immediately shoot open as I look frantically around for anyone. Anyone I know, anyone alive. I can't be the only one alive, I can't be.

"Miss, miss please stay calm. You have been in a tragic accident, you need to stay calm." A nurse frantically says as she tries to calm me down.

"My friends, where are my friends, they were in the plane, where are they?" I yell getting louder and louder. I start pulling IVs from my arm, trying to pick myself up but pain shoots through my body causing me to flop back down onto the hospital bed.

"Miss, we will get a list of survivors. But you have been in a tragic accident, you have minor injuries but you might have traumatic trauma. You need to calm down and process everything before you make another move." The nurse says, making more sense then I give her credit too.

"Okay, okay but I need a list. I need to see if my friends are alive." She nods her head as she exits the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My horrible thoughts. What if Tobias is dead? What if everyone is dead? I don't know how I'd be able to live with myself, knowing I'm alive and no one else is.

Not even five minutes later a nurse comes in, holding a clipboard with white sheets clipped on. Sorrow in her eyes. Please God, no.

I take the clipboard from her immediately and start flipping through the pages of survivors, looking for my friends. The only names that are shown are myself, Tobias, Christina, Uriah, Lynn and Zeke. Oh no.

Marlene and Shauna. They couldn't have. They were right behind us, right in the seats being us. That could have been me, that could have been any of us and they were the ones to go.

I immediately break down, crying, heaving as if I just got lunch in the chest. My tears scatter the white paper in front of me. Why did they have to be the ones to leave? Why did they have to die? Did they suffer? Was it fast? There families, they must be hurting so horribly right now.

My tears are not silent, they are slowly rolling down my cheeks as I try to think of them being happy now, them being happy wherever they are.

"Miss?" The nurse from before knocks on my hospital door

"Yes?" I ask, not ready to handle any more bad news.

"We have to take the list. More patients have died from the accident." I nod, not ready to think about others and their families. The list was barely 15 people, more then 40 people were on that plane. The nurse quickly marks off 3 names with a black sharpie and places it on the table next to me. I'm scared to look at the list but I need to know. But not until I'm ready.

I slowly peel my eyes off of the paper and lay down on my back, making sure not to hurt myself. I don't know what my injuries are but the nurse says I can go in a week which means they couldn't have been bad. Lets hope. I still don't know how long I've been here. Damn, I hate hospitals.

Slowly, I lift myself from the hospital bed and place my feet on the cold surface of the tile floor and make my way over to the mirror placed on the bathroom door.

I don't look like me, my face is bruised, I have blood crusted on my nose and earlobes and I have stitches on my right leg and left arm.

I look over once more to the clipboard holding the names of 12 people, previously 15 buy three have died in the hospital. It's only been like three minutes since she's left but the suspense is killing me.

I slowly walk over to the clipboard. I would walk faster but I'm afraid I will hurt myself if I go any quicker.

I place the cold, wood platform on my palms, just as quickly as I picked it up I drop it again, as well as myself to the floor.

No, no, no, no. One of my best friends, someone who was always there for me, someone who I could ask count on is now dead and I didn't even get to say goodbye. I'll never get to laugh with them, tell them to quiet down as I try to listen in class. I'll never get to hug them anymore. Why, why? Why them? Why all of us?

It won't be the same, from here on out I can tell things are just going to get worse. Hell. I know things are going to get worse.
