Chapter 10: Tris POV
"Tris," says a distant voice,"Tris!" It takes me awhile to figure out that the voice belongs to a nurse. "I know you can't respond to me, but I came to tell you it's over. The surgery is done. The rest of the healing is up to you." After that I hear her get up and walk away. It's all up to me? What does she mean? Before I can even think, I hear another voice, but this time it's not a nurse or doctor.
"Tris," my mother says,"He needs you. You cannot let death defeat you. You're strong and brave and I believe in you." With that, she disappears. Now it's just me and the whirring machines.
Tobias POV
Zeke and I have been sitting in this same room, waiting for hours. A couple of nurses tried to get me to go to my apartment and get some rest, but rest is not possible tonight. I cannot even think about sleeping until I know for sure that Tris is alright.
I am disturbed from my thoughts when the door clicks open. A silhouette of Matthew stands in the door frame. When our eyes meet, all he does is nod. Zeke and I both stumble to our feet and out the door.
"Follow me," Matthew says. We do as told and after what seems like the longest walk ever, we arrive at her room. I put my hand on the knob and look back at Zeke.
"I'll wait. Go ahead." I give him a look of gratitude and slowly open the door. There laying on the bed is an unconscious, yet peaceful Tris.
Before I can ask anything, Matthew speaks,"The surgery was successful, but she's in a coma. There's no telling when she'll wake. She can still hear everything and she can feel your touch, but she cannot communicate with you in any way." I rush up to her and grab her hand. Then, I slowly sink down into the chair next to her bed. Once again, I feel tears on my face.
"Tris." I press my lips to her forehead.
"Tris, please come back to me. I need you." "Please." My voice is now small and weak. I cannot lose her.
