Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 51

       I groaned, turning over in my massive bed. I felt one of my puppies curled beside me on the bed. I reached my hand over to my nightstand and reached until my hand found my phone. I got out of the hospital last night, but I'm still taking a significant amount of meds. I unlocked my phone before going to my messages.

Tobias- Hey baby. I love you. I hope you're feeling better, call me when you're up

Chrissy- hi luv all the girls miss u We made you some things and would love to see u soon

Mar- I miss u baby girl ur so strong, text me back when you can I love you

Ezi- Come take ur pills plz

I had about 30 other texts from friends that collected while I was in the hospital. Mostly well wishes and people sending love. I pulled up Tobias' chat before typing. I'm awake toby. I love you too. Anyway you could come over 🥺?

    I then pulled up zekes message. I'm fine Ezi.
Tobias replied quick with a simple 'of course'.
With that I curled over in the bed, a tear slipping from my eye as I bundled up in my blankets. I began to shut my eyes but I heard thudding outside my door. I groaned and my door was flung open. "It's time for your meds Ri," Ezi said, standing with a small cup of pills.

"Dude I don't want to I'm tired," I groaned, wiping my eyes.

"You can take them willingly or I will shove them into your mouth," he said, growing irritated.

"Just go ezi," I said, looking down at my arms, tears slipping down my cheeks.

"Ri- baby girl what is wrong?" He asked, knitting his eyebrows and walking to me.

He set the pills down on my nightstand and moved to sit next to me. I immediately tried pulling up the blanket to cover my bruised legs. He caught a glance and grimaced, hand shape bruises riddled my skin. "Nothing. I'm-im fine," I said, tears coming out against my will.

He brought his hands up and grabbed my face, his thumb swiping at my tears. "I'm here. I'll always be here. You're my best friends tris. You can tell me anything."

I felt my lip quiver and then sobs began to burst from my lips. "I-I- Ezi," I sobbed.

He scooted directly beside me before pulling me into his chest. "I- I can't do this Ezi. It hurts," I said, my breathing sharp and heavy.

"Look at me baby girl. You are so fucking strong. You are my entire world. Without you I wouldn't have a purpose ri. I need you," he said, choking up.

I heard a hard knock on my door and ezis head snapped to the door. "Come in," he said, his eyes narrowing.

The door pushed open and Tobys face appeared. "Toby," I said, my eyes lighting up.

"Hi baby," he said returning a dashing smile.

I looked down at my body and realized I looked like absolute shit. I immediately brought my hands up and covered my face, groaning. "What? What did I say?" He asked, nervous.

"I- ugh- I look horrible right now," my cheeks turned a crimson shade as my face heated up.

"Really tris? You always look beautiful," Tobias said, walking over to me.

"Alright, now that fours here, make her take her pills. I'll be downstairs text me if you need anything."

Zeke walked out and four moved over to me. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and slid to the edge. "I missed you, love," he mumbled, stopping between my legs.

He reached out his hands and gently pulled me to my feet. I self consciously looked at my legs, trying to keep them from view. I felt my cheeks burns and I anxiously bit my lip. "What? What's wrong love?" He cooked, taking my face in his hands.

He glanced down and saw my thighs, covered with bruises but he didn't react. Instead , he tipped my chin up to look him in the eyes. "You are beautiful baby girl. Absolutely perfect in every way. You are my love, you will always have my heart. you're my world love," he said, he lips inches from mine, looking at me with adoration and affection.

His eyes were stormy, but beautiful. Gorgeously strong eyes that made me melt into his touch. "I love you," I muttered, my breathe coming out shaky.

I felt his smile as he pressed his full lips to mine, moving them passionately in sync with my own. I hungrily groaned as his hand slipped to my waist, his touch gentle and light. I shuddered at his touch, it was perfect. My hands slipped down to his lap and I felt him groan and pressure push against my hand. He gently pulled me under him so he was straddling my waist with no weight. Everything he did was gentle, and loving. He kissed my neck passionately and I melted to his touch, moaning into his hair. I grabbed at his back as his hands gently stroked my chest. "Tobias......" I groaned, letting him kiss my body.

He pulled back before pressing his lips back against mine. He laid down beside me now, pulling me into his strong body. His warmth spread around me like a fire, engulfing me in love and passion. He gently ran his hand over my back, soothing me. "Toby......" I muttered.

"Yeah babygirl," his voice rumbled in his chest.

"I love you so much," I said.

His touch felt the same, it felt safe. It felt comfortable. "I know. I love you more then anything," he replied swiftly.
