After Allegiant: If Tris Lived

Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Tris POV

I don't know what's going on, but I think I'm in the hospital. All I really know is that something is wrong with me and I feel weird. I hear several voices speaking around me, but I can't reply to them. I think I'm in a coma.

"If we don't start the procedure soon, the results may be fatal. Has he made a decision yet?"

Procedure? What procedure? What decision? Then it hits me. I need to have a surgery and they asked Tobias to decide whether to go through with it or not. It takes me a second to process this information before realization hits me again. They wouldn't ask for his approval unless there were risks to the surgery. I hope Tobias goes through with it though. He's always trying to protect me.

"He wants to go through with it," says a voice I assume to be Matthew's. "Start the surgery, now!"

All of a sudden I feel myself being detached from millions of wires and big machines and rolled away to the surgery room. Doctors rush around me attaching me to new machines and injecting several liquids into me. An oxygen mask is forced upon my face and then the real excitement starts. The sound of the whirring machines mixed with the hustling doctors makes me nauseous. Honestly, this whole situation makes me nauseous.

Tobias POV

Matthew exits the room and I lose it. My face falls into my palms and I run my hands through my hair. Why did this have to happen? Now I have to sit here anxiously wondering if my Tris will survive. Tears begin to trickle down my face. I don't cry, ever! Tris means the world to me and these tears means something.

"Hey buddy." I turn around to see a sleep-deprived Zeke.

"Zeke," I croak. "What are you doing here so late?"

"I've been worrying about you and Tris all night and I finally decided to come find out what's going on."

I take a deep breath. "Well she still has some traces of the death serum still in her and its effecting her nervous system and currently she's in a surgery from which she could die and I have to just sit here...and wait." Saying it aloud makes it worse. I wipe my eyes on my sleeves and manage to get a few words out before I lose it, "Am I going to lose her tonight?!"

"You'll get through this Tobias. She's too stubborn to die...you know that!" I let out a small laugh. He is the best friend I could possibly have.

"Now," I start. "We wait."
