FourTris High School

Chapter 20

Tris's POV

I look at the drawer with the knife when I wake up. I wonder if he actually slept out there.

I open my bedroom door to find a sleeping Toby laying on the floor. I am not waking him up.

I am gonna talk to Uriah. He always cheers me up. I grab my phone and text Uriah.

Hey - T

Hi Tris - U

Whats up - T

Thinkin about Tobias and him worrying about you - U

Aww - T

Yeah, so cute when he talks about girls on their periods - U

Oh... - T

Yeah... I have a question - U

What - T

How does a period work - U

Thats... Private - T

Thats... Gross! - U

I need to stop texting you - T

But then my unicorn will be lonely without you - U

Oh my goldfish - T

So... Whats the goldfish's name - U

Seriously! I need to stop texting you before your weirdness rubs off on me! - T

Ok, buh-bye my little goldfish - U

Bye my little unicorn - T

I put down my phone and laugh. I seriously love texting Uri. He always makes me laugh.

I hear footsteps and stop laughing. I really dont want to talk to Toby right now.

He is always jealous. He always worries. And he is overprotective! I grab my phone and pretend to be looking up music.

"Hey Tris... I have something to tell you."

"What Toby?"

"Umm... My sister is in a coma. That is why I am usually late to school. I usually go see her in the morning."

"But..."

I let on tear slide down my face and then another. I didnt cry this much when my dad died... so why now?

"Wanna go see Maddy?"

I nod my head. She has to go through what I went through. That poor little girl.

He grabs my hand and leads me through the door to his amazing new car.

We get in the car and sit in silence as I wonder about Maddy. What if ahe never wakes up. What if they take her off life support!?
