Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 27

His hands grabbed at me. Pinning me down. Agonizing pain ripped through my body as he touched me. I struggled, screaming. "No one can hear you." He taunted, spurring in my face.

I sobbed, kicking and screaming.

"HELP ME! PLEASE! SOMEONE PLEASE!" I screeched.

His hot breath tickled my skin and he began to pull of my pants. "NO! NO HELP ME!" I screamed.

I felt something shake my arm violently.

I snapped open my eyes, still screaming. Tobias' face was in front of mine. I could still feel the hands on me. I jumped away, falling onto the floor hard. I back away, into a wall, tears falling down my face. I felt like I couldn't breathe. My body was shaking violently. Tobias gentle voice racked my head. My door swung open and Zeke appeared, sleep still on their faces. I covered my face with my hands, still shaking.

Zeke were beside me immediately. Zeke set his hand on my shoulder. My hands were still shaking violently. I could still feel his hands on me, the burning pain as he viciously grabbed me. I felt vomit rose in my throat and I forced myself to my hands and knees before stumbling to the bathroom. I immediately leaned over the toilet, releasing my stomachs contents. I felt a hand rubbing against my back and another pulling my hair back to keep it out of my face. I threw up again, completely emptying my small stomach. I rested my hands on the toilet seat, regaining my breath. "Hey, shhhhhhh," Tobias said, his hand on my shoulder.

Zeke gently held my hair back. I fell back from the toilet, letting my head fall between my knees, tears on my face. "Hey- tell us what happened. Talk to us. Calm down," Ezi said soothingly.

I just pressed my shaking palms harder to my eyes. "Tris, what's going on?" Tobias asked, warily.

I hesitated, not bothering to raise my head. "It was just a dream," I mumbled.

"Talk to us Ri," Zeke said, brushing away my hair from around my face.

"It just- I keep on- it's always him," I mumbled, tears in my eyes.

I broke into more sobs. Tobias carefully ran his hand down my back. "It felt like I was there- it felt real. His- his hands on me," I said, stuttering.

"God- I'm so sorry Ri. I'm so sorry," Zeke said, tears forming in his big brown eyes.

I wiped at my eyes furiously. "I-I'm Fine. I'm always fine," I cried.

"Tris you aren't fine," Tobias said gently.

I forced myself to my feet.zeke tried to stop me but I shoved him away. My legs were still shaking. "I'm fine! Stop looking at me like I'm sick!" I screaming, tears in my eyes.

"Tris- stop," Tobias said as I tried to walk past him.

"I'm fine!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face.

I tried to push him away, struggling. He easily held my wrists and pulled me into his chest, holding me tightly. "Let me go!" I wailed, struggling.

"No," he said simply.

I stopped struggling after several futile attempts and collapsed into his chest. I was so broken. He lifted me up into his arms and carried me easily to my bed. I was so tired, I didn't bother fighting. He set me on the bed, pulling the covers to my Chin. Zeke gently leaned down and kissed my forehead before leaving. Tobias sat beside me, tucking the hair behind my ear gently. His other hand resting on my waist gently. "Stop. Don't look at me like that," I snapped, Coming off harsher than I wanted too.

"What? Stop looking at you with love? Admiration for your incredible strength and beauty? Tris, I won't ever look at you with pity. You are the most beautiful, strong woman I know and I love you more then anything or anyone else in the world," he said sternly.

I reached up my hand and linked it behind his neck, pulling his lips to mine. He placed his hand on either side of my head, gently kissing me back. We broke apart after a few minutes and he laid down beside me, pulling me to his chest. I breathed in his old spice and sighed. "I love you so much Tobias," I mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Tris, I love you to the moon and back," he replied, kissing my forehead.
