Between the lines (sequel to Divergent High) ON HOLD

Chapter 5

TRIS POV

I got out of the hospital a week ago.

I thought it would be nice.

Comfortable furniture, eating good food, sleeping.

I was wrong.

Especially about that last one.

I've been having a rough day.

Tobias left early to go to his job that he got.

I've been here alone, with no help.

That means I'm watching, feeding, bathing, and any other thing you can possibly imagine to the girls, alone.

Also, it's period week.

Fun, right?

No.

So I'm already pissed and it's only 11:30 am.

The door handle jingles and Tobias steps in.

"Hey."

"Hey."

He goes into our room at shuts the door.

He doesn't come out for more than an hour.

I set the girls in their play chairs and I walk over to the door.

I open the door.

There lays Tobias, sleeping.

I understand he's tired, he did wake up at six, but I got up every single time the girls started crying while he slept through them like a rock.

I've gotten about 2 hours of sleep, and he got 9.

Am I being ridiculous or is that a little unfair?

I go and wake him up.

"What?" He snaps at me.

"Are you serious right now?" I snap back.

"Can't I just sleep?"

I look him in the eyes with the most annoyance and hate I can manage.

I shake my head at him.

"You don't care about anyone else but yourself."

I walk out of the room and make sure to slam the door.

I grab the girls and their bags and toys and get out of the apartment.

I slam that door, too.

I knock on Christina's door.

She opens the door, and immediately sees the tears streaming down my face that I didn't even know were there.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

I shake my head and look down so she can't see the tears stream down anymore.

"It's okay, I cry too."

She takes the bags from me and brings them inside her apartment.

She tells me to come in and I obey.

I sit on her bed with Mia and Aspen in my lap.

She brings a chair and sets it right in front of me.

"Let it out."

"Let what out?" I sob.

"Your emotions. Also give me your children because I want to play with them."

"Okay..." I sniffle.

I hand her the twins and she gets some toys out from the baby bags.

I cry.
