Love at Divergent High

Chapter 51: News

It has been three weeks since Tobias went missing. An hour after the police came round on the day he went missing it was on the news, everything was. Now people all over America have been trying to find him. Eve and I have been mentioned on the news as well. They keep asking me to be on the news, but I refuse to do it. There are reporters standing outside the house constantly, waiting for any of us to leave so they can talk to us about what is going on. But we don’t leave the house unless we have to, well, I don’t leave the house at all, neither does Eve, we’ve all stopped going to work, and Ashton is being sent work from his school to do as we don’t want him leaving. Marlene, Uriah and Ashton moved into the main house because there are reporters in the garden as well. We also keep all the curtains and everything shut so they can’t see in.

Why can’t they do anything useful like go and find my husband?

The police checked the addresses I gave them and they couldn’t find anything. So I told them about their holiday home. Still, they found nothing.

Eve sleeps with me at night now. Not that I mind. She needs me and I need her. She’s been really upset since Tobias was taken, and so have I.

Yesterday I started throwing up in the morning. I threw up this morning as well. I’ve also missed my period which was due two days ago.

I am still in the en-suite of mine and Tobias’ bedroom after throwing up an hour ago, looking at the pregnancy test I brought three weeks ago, the day before Eve’s fifth birthday. It’s still in its box. Waiting to be opened. I am sitting on the cold tiles in one of Tobias’ t-shirts which is more like a short dress on me.

I’m just looking at it, wondering if I should take it or not. I actually brought three tests, but I know that I’m either pregnant or seriously ill so one is all I need. I don’t want to take it without him here, with me. It should be a special time, a happy time. But he’s not here, and I don’t know if he ever will be again.

I stand up and decide to take the test. So I do. And I wait three minutes, like it says to do. For those three minutes I sit back on the cold floor, whilst the test is resting on the counter where the sink is.

I just sit there. Waiting. I’m scared. I’m nervous. I’m terrified. I don’t know what to do.

The timer goes off.

I stay seated. Not knowing what to do.

I take the test of the side, still sitting on the tiles, and I look at it.

‘Pregnant’ it reads.

I start sobbing uncontrollably. I’m pregnant again and my husband isn’t here with me.

I don’t know how long I’m here, sobbing, before I hear a knock on the door.

“Tris, are you all right in there?” I hear Christina ask.

I just continue to sob.

“Tris, let me in.” She says.

I stay seated as I unlock the door and move to the other side of the room, still sobbing.

She opens the door and looks at me with sad eyes. She shuts and locks the door behind her as she walks over to me. My hands are covering the test, which is clutched to my chest, so well that she can’t see it.

She sits next to me.

“Tris, what’s the matter?” She asks. I shake my head. “Tris, what’s in your hands?” She asks.

“I-I can’t d-do t-this without h-him.” I sob.

“You can’t do what without him? Tell me what’s wrong, Tris.” She asks.

I shove the test into her hand and she looks at it with wide eyes before looking back at me with sad ones.

“Oh, Tris.” She says before embracing me. I cry into her shoulder.

“W-what am I-I going to do C-Chris?” I ask.

“It’s going to be all right, Tris. I promise.” She says.

That’s when the banging on the door starts.

“Tris! Tris! You’ve got to come down stairs, now!” Uriah says.

Christina and I stand and I put the test on the side before unlocking the door and opening it. Uriah looks at me with a smile on his face before noticing that I’ve been crying.

“Tris, what’s the matter?” He asks, concerned.

“Leave her alone, man, why does she need to go downstairs?” Christina asks.

“Okay. Okay. Why don’t you get some jeans or something on, Tris and come downstairs?” Uriah says.

“Why?” I ask, sniffling.

“Go downstairs and find out.” He says, smiling again.

I put on some leggings and Christina helps me downstairs where we find Lisa and George sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the rest of the gang sitting in there with them, and Eve sitting on Marlene’s lap. Uriah barges into the room and sits next to Marlene.

“Oh, you’re down here. We have some news.” Lisa says.

“We’ve found him.” George continues.

Hey Ravens, how are you doing?
