Candor Or Dauntless

Chapter 14

Tris
I'm flipping through the book and tears start rolling down my face. It sucks I had to find out this way. What I'm getting from this journal is that my father was abusive for many years and my mom gave me enough memory serum so I'd forget about it and live a happy normal life. But apparently as soon as Caleb and I left, he went back to his old ways. Tobias and the whole gang are planning to save her so I don't have to remember the years of torture.
"NO!" I hear a male voice yell and I feel the paper being ripped out of my hands and I fall to the floor in a helpless heap. I hear Tobias's voice getting farther and farther away and all of a sudden everything is black and I don't think anything else.

Tobias
Tris is on the floor and barely breathing. I carry her to the infirmary and scream for someone to help me. A ton of nurses come flying through the door and get Tris on a stretcher. They roll her into a room and block me from entering.
"I'm sorry you can't come in." A nurse says in a sweet tone. I freeze and do something I haven't done since I was young. I pray.
Dear lord,
Please let Tris be okay. I have nothing without her and I love her with all my breaking heart. Please help me this one time. Please. Amen.
A few hours pass and I'm still waiting for an answer from anyone. A nurse, a doctor, even god, but no one comes out. I'm becoming impatient. I get up and start pacing the floors, trying to find any sense of relief from the pain I am feeling. I sit back down and slowly drift into a dreamless sleep.

Tris
I wake up with a pounding headache and try to decipher my surroundings and attempt to get up but I am soon stopped by a nurse. I can't quite make out what she's saying but I'm pretty sure it's something along the lines of lay down. I try to ask where Tobias is but it sounds more like gibberish. She just smiles at me and says,
"Your boyfriends in the waiting room." I sigh,
"Can you get him please? I have a lot to discuss with him." I say tensely. The nurse laughs loudly,
"I can tell." She says while laughing, "I'll be right back." I lay back and close my eyes. I hear the door creak  open and I open my eyes. I don't look at him though. I see him in my peripheral sit down staring at me the whole time. The only word I can get out is,
"Why?" He puts his head down and rubs his forehead.
"Look Tris," he says sombrely. I cut him off.
"10 seconds." I say.
"What?" He asks confused. I finally look at him.
"10 seconds for you to give me a good explanation or I'm gonna leave and you'll never see me again."
"He's after you." Tobias says, "he wants you to go back there and I'm not gonna let that happen." I give him a look.
"The first step,  is saving your mom. That's what the journals for, second step isolating your dad. Third step, bringing justice to what he did to you." I gasp,
"You can't kill him." I yell a little too loudly.
"I'm not going to Tris." He yells back.
"What are you gonna do?" I ask whispering. I start to cry and I don't know why. He automatically becomes sympathetic and hugs me.
"Tris, you don't understand what he did to you." He says into my shoulder.
"No your right I don't." I say, "but I'd like to." He gives me a grave look,
"No you don't." He replies. I look at him in the eyes and tell him,
"Tell me." He slowly answers with,
"It will take a lot of explaining Tris." I roll my eyes and say,
"I have loads of time now that I'm stuck in a white room with smiley people and bright lights."
"Okay," he sighs, "here goes nothing..."
