Marlenes POV

I arrived at Uriah's house and knocked on the door, I was really excited to see him because I had gone on a two month cruise. It just ended, I got off the, boat, dropped my stuff off at home, and drove here. When he opens the door Zeke right there too, they don't look all that thrilled to see me. We talk a little and they tell me what's going on with Tris the 'new girl who's not so new anymore' and Four the 'all-powerful guy who's girl proof but got a crush on the 'new girl who's not so new anymore' bitched out and ran away'. I don't like that Four, he is being described as mushy and soft, I don't want to meet that side of him. Soon after that Zeke gets a call on his cell phone. He seems really surprised, angry and flustered at the same time which is really confusing. When he starts yelling and getting really frantic, I squeeze Uriah's hand which I am currently holding, he squeezes back and gives me a small smile before he walks up to Uriah and puts the phone on speaker. Tris has been in a car crash and is in the hospital, we rush over. When we are finally granted access, which took forever, I may add, we run to Tris' room, or should I say, Zeke and Uriah run to Tris' room. When we are there they open the door and rush in to the room and sit beside her on the bed by her feet.

I don't go inside yet, I call Shauna and tell her to get her butt down here immediately. I sit down on the chair in the corner of the room, minutes later Shauna walks in and gives Zeke a hug before sitting on the arm of the uncomfortable chair that I took a seat in. I soon realize that someone is here other than Zeke, Uriah, Shauna, Tris and I. I know I recognise him from school but we never talked, he wasn't in my group, we hang out with different people, or that's what I say to myself to make me feel better.

"Why are you here?" I ask, he doesn't look up, and doesn't appear to have heard me but Uriah looks at me like I'm crazy and starts speaking but I cut him off, "You, person I don't know, yeah, you." I say as he looks up at me. I raise one eyebrow.

"What?" he asks me clueless, tears streaming down his face.

"Why. Are. You. Here?" I ask slower and louder this time.

"Sh-shes... she's... she's my... my si-sister." He manages to reply.

"Oh my god! I had no idea! I'm so sorry!" I start, but when he looks down and it seems as no one's listening to me anymore I say, "I guess I'll just shut up now." A few minutes later a messy looking Four walks in, or more like stumbles in. He takes one glance around the room and then his eyes find Tris, and he stumbles out.

Fours POV

She's broken, scraped and bleeding, and worst of all, I think shes dying. I did this to her. The door that closed behind me opens, Marlene popping her head out.

"Four? You OK?" She asks me.

"Four?" Caleb opens the door fully and looks at me, "You bitch." He says through clenched teeth, then he slapped me, I had never thought Caleb would do that, I never had him pegged as violent. In a way he isn't all that violent, if I had been in his position I would have killed him. He walks inside the room and so do I and Marlene, Caleb goes and sits back down in a chair he pulled up next to her bed. I sat on the other side of the bed, it's not that I'm scared of him, because I'm not, but I think he needs his space and I'm happy to give it to him. I go and sit on the bed next to Tris' waist.

"You know the only reason I'm not killing you at this point?" Caleb asks me, not looking up from Tris. He must of read my mind a couple moments ago. I shake my head not trusting words, "Because you are going to suffer just the same as the rest of us. Maybe even more. You will live, if she lives, you do to, she will not go anywhere near you and I will make sure of that, if she dies, you don't, you will have to live knowing that you're the reason she dead. You will not get out of this so easily, so if you got your hopes up when I slapped you, too bad for you. And don't you dare say you know what I feel, because you don't. You don't and never will know what it's like to lose a sister, I love her more than life itself. I would give anything to switch our positions, I only want her to be happy, even if she was heartbroken over me, she would find happiness at some time or another, but if she dies now, she will have lived her last month alive in misery and pain." One month, that's how long I was gone, was she really worried about me. Caleb might not be violent but he is pretty dark.

I lean down and kiss her on the lips, soft and light, then pull away and start to leave but I feel a hand on mine. I know it's not Caleb because it's to gentle and he wants me to leave, it's not the girls because they are in front of me so I can see them, it's not Zeke or Uriah because I hear them gasp. I look back and see Tris, her eyes open and looking at me, her hand is lying on top of mine, she is really tense. Its like if she relaxes she will fall apart. She is in a lot of pain, I can tell through her eyes, but they also have a little sparkle in them that isn't pain, but I can't tell what it is.

"Four? What are you doing here, and where is here?" She asks, her voice is really scratchy and I can tell by the way she keeps wincing it hurts her a lot to talk.

"Tris... I'm so sorry, I didn't... I didn't know... I didn't mean... this wasn't supposed to happen to you." Is all I can manage to get out.

"Where am I?" she asks me a little more harsh and louder this time which I can tell hurts her even more.

"Hospital." Is all I say, I don't trust my words anymore, I dont want to burst out crying seeing that everyone else is and she needs someone to answer her questions.

"One more question," She starts, "why did you kiss me?" she asks. Her voice keeps getting scratchier the more she talks.

"Because... I... Tris, I..." I take a deep breath before I continue, "Beatrice Prior, I love you." She looks up at me in shock, she doesn't look happy, she doesn't look angry, she doesn't look sad or much of anything, the only emotion showing on her face is shock.
