Survival (Fourtris)

Chapter 4

-TRIS-

"Caleb!" I scream histerically before running to hug him. Before I can get there her pushes me away and steps backwards.

"You killed me. You let me die!"

"Caleb..." this time it comes out through tears. "Caleb...."

Before I can continue I see mum and dad. They walk out from the darkness behind my brother. On there faces is not a look of sadness or worry, but something else. Disappointment.

"Mum.. Dad..."

"it will be him next," Caleb whispers pinging to the dead corps next to me.

I wake to Tris' soft crying into her pillow. I wipe the tears gently from her cheek, trying not to startle her although it doesn't work.
She wakes with a jump before seeing me and laying down again.

"shhhh" I whisper in her ear, still stroking her cheek "it was a dream."

She turns over and looks me in the eye, I can't help but notice she is still crying before she burrows her head into my chest.

"do you want to talk about it?" I ask quietly. She doesn't say anything but I feel her shake her head against my chest.

"Ok" I say, stroking her hair slowly for what feels like an eternity before I feel her breath even out and she falls asleep.

I wake to Tobias smiling down to me

"Are you feeling better?"

I don't answer. I know what he wants me to say, he wants me to say I'm fine, that it was just a dream, that I'm over it. But I'm not.

After I get washed up, me and Tobias walk to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. He keeps giving me these worried looks. I know why, it's because I have hardly said two words all day, I know it's just because he cares about me but it is getting annoying.

"can you stop?" I say a little too harshly after not being able to take these looks anymore.

"Tris, talk to me." he says it as more of a demand than a question. What am I meant to say? I got a visit from my dead family in my dream? I don't think so. So instead I just say

"I'm fine."

"No your not. What happened to not lying to each other?" He pulls me into a small, unused room and kisses me softly.

"You can tell me anything, tris, you know that. Talk to me, please."

I look away and sit on the floor against a wall. Seconds later he crouches down next to me. I know I have to tell him, I just don't know what to say.

"It's just... Caleb.. My parents..." I turn to look at him but then look away sheepishly. He puts a hand under my chin and turns my head back to look at him.

"the dream?" I nod, before looking him in the eye. He pulls me closer to him and hugs me tight. I can feel the tears brewing being my eyes.

"I'm not going to pretend I know how you feel," he says, there is less pity in his voice now but more love. "But I'm here for you, ok?"

"Yeah"

I satnd out side Uriah's room with Christina. As much of a Candor smart mouth she is, she is growing on me. I see her as a friend now. Zeke and Hana are still here and now Shauna has arrived as well. She struggles getting around in her wheelchair but she is adapting.

"Alright man?" Zeke asks as he make his way to my side. Uriah is in stable condition although is still not awake.

"Alright." I say, relaxing a little.

Now Uriah is out of danger Zeke is a bit more friendly with me. Things are still tence though, he asked me to look out for his brother, and my friend. And I almost got him killed.
