Divergent High

Forty Fourth chapter

Four's POV

I am awoken by someone shaking me.

I open my eyes and a white light blinds me so immediately close them. I open them again, blinking to get used to the light and see Dr. Rogers in front of me.

- Hey, wake up - He says, still shaking me.

Now that I pay attention, Dr. Rogers looks like he is on his mid thirties, dark brown hair, brown eyes and just a few wrinkles on his forehead.

I stand up and stretch, my back and my neck stiff, and look at Zeke that is still sleeping on the floor with Shauna on his lap.

- Tobias - The doctor says, driving my attention towards him - Who is Caleb?

Wow, this guy must be candor, he speaks his mind without a second thought!

- Why? - I ask instead of answering. ¿How does he know that name?

- Well you've slept for 12 hours.

My eyes are now wide open and I am completely awake. Then a thought comes to my mind, ¿What happened with Tris!?

- ¿What happened with Tris' surgery? Is she OK? What...

- Hey - He says, stopping my interrogation - The surgery went fine.

I relax and ask him to continue.

- Tris woke up a while a....

-¿WHAT!?- I interrupt him, again.

He sighs - Are you going to let me finish!? - He asks, finally irritated. I nod, ashamed by my behavior. - Tris woke up and asked for someone named Caleb. She said she wanted to see him, do you know who is this person?

I feel a little bit hurt because Tris didn't ask to see me but maybe she was still a little angry.

- Caleb is her brother but he is in Canada - I explain.

He nods - We are going to contact him.

-¿Can I... Can I visit Tris? - I ask in a voice full of hope. Dr. Rogers looks doubtful.

- Yeah... I guess you can but if she wakes up, please call me, she is a little bit confused by the accident so her heart rate can increase and affect her breathing if she gets to anxious or the pain.....

I nod and enter Tris' hospital room.

She is laying on the bed but she looks different. There aren't tubes coming out from her and the doctor took off that weird collar thing, and she is still wearing the oxygen mask but with a new dose of something green and the bandages were replaced.

She was sleeping peacefully.

I grab her hand but she stirs a little. I hold my breath and release it when she stops moving.

- Tris - I softly say. Nothing.

- Tris - I say a little bit louder. Still nothing.

I sit next to her and decide to call my mom.

- Hello - Answers Evelyn at the third ring.

- Hi mom - I say.

- Tobias!!! - She yells with a mix of excitement, worry, anger and some other emotions.

- I am sorry I didn't call earlier but I was really worried about Tris condition and...

- It's OK - She says - How is Tris?

Evelyn seems to be worried about her, maybe she is starting to accept her.

- Well - I sigh, this topic is still too hard for me - She has second degree burns, a pierced lung, 3 broken ribs and a small concussion, she just came out of surgery 'cause her lung failed. - I let out a sob.

Saying everything out loud makes it feel more real, everything sinks in. I keep sobbing, my mother trying to soothe me.

- Want me to go there? - She asks. I shake my head but then I realize she can't see me.

- No, don't worry.

We keep talking for half an hour and she hangs up.

I look at Tris and notice her eyes flutter open.

I gasp.

Something was different, I could feel it, her eyes were cold, she seems lost.

I grab her hand but she moves it away and stares at me in confusion.

My Tris. ¿What happened to you?
