Resurgent (Alternate Allegiant Ending)

Days

TOBIAS POV:

It's been 22 days. 22 days since my Tris fell into a coma. Uriah saved Zeke and I. But I don't care about that. I just need her to wake up.

To my surprise, Zeke and Uriah are letting me have alone time with her right now. We are still hiding in this forbidden part of Dauntless. By 'forbidden' I mean not used in years hospital and storage rooms! Yay...

Anyways, I decide to say something to her. A nurse case in and told me to talk to her. She said that she could hear me, and that we are waiting for her to wake up, when she's ready.

"Tris. I love you. I have no clue what's going to come out of my mouth. But I want to spend the rest of my life with you. We grow old together, we ride together, die together.  Just please believe me when I say I need you. I don't know what I will do without you. I might jump for God's sake. Love  does crazy things to you. I should know. I don't wait on anyone, but I'm waiting for you Tris. Take your time, but stay with me." Tears well up in my eyes. And I don't even try to catch them as they fall down my cheeks, and fall down onto Tris. I lay down on the bed with her, and lay my head near her shoulder.

And that's when I feel it. Her. Her hand slightly squeezes my hand. And my eyes widen. I sit up, but nothing else happens. I decide to take my iPod out, and my earbuds, and play music. Our favorite song.

I plug one into her ear, and leave to go to the bathroom. As I do, it almost seems like a smile is forming on her face, but I think it's just my head.

A few minutes later, I come back. And I hold my hand in hers. The song is almost over. But that don't matter. It's on repeat. Like always.

And she squeezes my hand again. And then pauses for a long while, making me think that I am imagining everything. But she gathers more  and more energy.

"Tris?"
