Divergence

~Chapter 8- Tris~

I see Christina waiting in the lobby for me when I walk out of the hospital. She runs over to me and starts asking me a million questions at once. 

"Wait." I say. "Slow down. Start over."

"Where were you?" she asks. "I have been searching everywhere." 

"Well, I haven't been everywhere." I say, smirking. 

She laughs, then stops abruptly. "Wait. You are cracking jokes. Something must be wrong. The Tris I know doesn't joke. What did you do with my friend?"

"Nothing," I say, laughing. "Nothing, I swear." 

"But, where have you been?" 

"Here," I respond.

"Why were you here?" She asks, then screws her face up in a frown, answering her own question. "Wait, Four." 

"Actually," I say. "No. I was getting fixed."

"Fixed?" She asks quizzically.

"Yep." I lift my shirt up a few inches. "All fixed." 

"Really?" She screeches, and the person at the desk looks up at us.

"Really." I say. 

"Yeah!!" She yells, then envelops me in a hug. She steps back a second later, looking at me. "So, like, you're good to go?"

"Almost. A bit more rest, and then, yes." 

"Yay!" She says. 

I look over her shoulder and see Caleb entering the lobby, running toward me as if I might fall over any second from fatigue or pain or whatever. 

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asks. 

"Dude, chill." Christina says. "It's a hospital. I think we could sue them if they didn't help her. Of course she is fine. In fact, she's better than fine!" 

"Christina..." I mutter. 

"What do you mean, better than fine?" Caleb asks. 

"This wasn't exactly how I wanted to tell you..." I say, shooting Christina a look, but she is not looking at me. "But I got all fixed."

"Fixed? Like, you're all good?" he asks. 

"Yeah." I say.

His expression turns steely. "But that's not your decision to make. I'm your legal guardian."

"Actually, you are not." I say. "I am 19. I am legally and adult."

"B-b-b-but!!" Caleb splutters.

I'm about to respond, but get tapped on the shoulder by a nurse. "Tobias." She says, and my blood runs cold. 

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! And if you didn't realize, I write short chapters for this story, so don't be alarmed!! Until next time!
