Tobias POV:

We are all sitting in the hospital waiting room. Uriah is crying into his hands and I can see that Tris's eyes are watery. "This is all my fault. It's all my fault." She whispers to herself. "Tris. It's not your fault." I whisper to her. "Oh yeah? Then who's fault is it?! Huh Four?!" She shouts. "It's no ones fault. It's just bad luck." Zeke says reassuringly. Tris looks over at me. She looks more angry than sad. "I hate myself. I hate my life." She keeps repeating over and over. No one can hear her but me. "Um. We'll be back." I say and I grab Tris's hand. I drag her outside and we walk together. The sun is setting. "What do you want Four?" She says looking down. She's not angry anymore. I lift up her chin. "You are the best person there is out there. No one is mad at you. Your life is great. You got your friends, your family and you got me. And I love you. And if that's not enough I'm sorry." I explain. She finally looks up. "You mean that?" I nod my head. "Of course." I say. And she kisses me. "Hurry up lovebirds! The nurse is coming with the news on Christina!" Lynn shouts. We walk inside holding hands. The nurse walks up to us. Tris squeezes my hand. "Christina is going to be alright. She has to stay overnight but you can take her home tomorrow." The nurse says. "Can we see her?" Tris asks. "Yes but only for a little while please." She says. We all run to Christina's room. "Hey guys." She says quietly. "Chris!" Uriah says. He hugs her and she winces. "I'm sorry time is up." The nurse says. "Bye Chris!" Tris says as we all walk out.

Tris and I are walking home and I stop. "What?" She asks. "Well... The junior prom is tomorrow.. And I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" I ask her. Her eyes light up with joy. "Oh my god! Yes! Yes of course!" She says and wraps her arms around me. "I need to plan my dress, my makeup, and-" Tris says frantically. "Tris.. Were going to prom. Not getting married!" I tell her and we both laugh. We keep walking, hand in hand. "See you tomorrow." I say as I walk her to her front porch. She kisses me and I walk home.

Tris POV:

I lay down on my bed and call Shauna. She does my makeup and helps me with outfits when Christina is busy or sick. "Hey girlie!" She says in her perky voice. "Hey Shauna. I got asked to the prom and I need help with makeup and dresses." I tell her. "OOH! Be at your house tomorrow after school." She says and hangs up before I can even say bye. I fall asleep thinking of what great time me and Tobias will have at prom tomorrow.
