Chapter 6

Zeke's POV

Chapter 6

It's 3 in the morning so it's been about 3 hours since the party and Uriah and I have been worried sick about Four. When Marcus walked in on the party he ordered all of us to leave immediately or else he would put all of us in ISS but he made sure Four stayed. I guess everyone knows who his dad is now.

Uriah is currently trying to call him. We have tried like a thousand times but he never picked up. I mean Marcus is a crazy man. who knows what he could do to him.

"Still no answer." Uriah says while throwing his phone onto my bed sighing.

We are currently in my room trying to let our nerves calm down. I mean Four is like our other brother. we know everything about him. We even know his real name which no one knows except for Tris now. I mean I don't know what I would do if something happened to him.

"Dude maybe we are over thinking this now Marcus may be crazy but I don't think he would do anything super crazy." I say trying to calm both me and Uriah down.

"Yeah your right. I still don't want to go to bed at all tonight just incase he needs us and tomorrow is a Saturday so lets just sit in here and watch a movie or something." he says

I nod and before I can reply the door bell rings.

"Who is at the door at 3 in the morning?" I ask as me and Uriah walk down stairs.

I open the door and see a battered and exhausted looking Four standing in our doorway. his face is covered in bruises and so are his arms. His lips are bleeding and cracking and his eyes are black. the thing that gets my attention though is the huge slash in his arm and stomach.

"What the heck Four!? what did that man do to you!?" I exclaim as Uriah and I drag him inside and up to my room. when we walk up the stairs we notice that he has a bad limp so we help him walk up. when we get to my room we lay him in my bed and put a bunch of pillows by his head so he can sit up. I go get a wet cloth for his slashes and Uriah goes and gets some water for him. once we got everything we sit down in chairs next to the bed.

"What happened Four?" Uriah asked calmly to try to calm him down but he still can't hide his anger in his voice

He takes a sharp deep breath an holds his ribs obviously painful to breathe but he talks anyways,"After everyone left Marcus kicked me to the floor and told me to clean every inch of the house. After I cleaned he gave me the usual punishment but then he started punching my face and then started kicking my ribs. then he did something I never thought he would ever do. he pulled out a large sharp knife and made a deep cut in my arm and stomach." he says his voice is really horse and I can tell it hurts to talk and he has tears in his eyes from all of the pain. I've never seen him this way and it hurts me to.

"Oh my gosh! I mean I know Marcus is crazy but I never thought he was that crazy!" Uriah says

"Wait how did you get here? he would kill you if you just left." I say

"Well after he beat me he stormed away and slammed his door. I couldn't move for an hour and once I was able to I heard the beast snoring so I decided to come to the one place that I feel safe and welcome." he says

Suddenly he starts groaning and holding his stomach. he rolls over to his side into a ball and starts screaming.

"Four, FOUR!" I exclaim and kneel down by him,"URIAH WAKE MOM UP NOW! AND HURRY!" I yell to Uriah he gets up and runs out of the room.

Four is still screaming and holding his stomach. it makes me so scared. I can't lose him he's my best friend. if I lost him I wouldn't know what to do.

My mom rushes in and almost tears up when she sees Four rolling on his side, holding his stomach while screaming. Four is also like a son to my mom she loves and cares for him just as much as she does with Uriah and me.

"OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED!?" she exclaims while rushing over to his side right by me. I tell her the entire story and she runs to go get her supplies. Luckily my mom is a doctor so hopefully she can get him fixed up.

She runs back and makes him lay on his back. Since he is still awake but in so much pain she takes out a shot and puts him to sleep.

"Ok boys why don't you two sit outside while I do this." my mom suggests

"No! we aren't leaving him! we are staying here until he wakes up!" Uriah shouts with a worried tone.

She sighs,"fine." then she gets to work.

Four's POV

I wake up with an excruciating pain in my stomach and ribs. I groan and open my eyes. Suddenly memories of last night filled my mind. I look around and notice that I'm in Zeke's room. Then I see Uriah and Zeke sitting in a chair right next to me. Zeke opens his eyes noticing that I'm awake then he wakes up Uriah.

"Oh my gosh dude you scared us to death we thought you were dead!" Zeke exclaims

I laugh horsely,"you aren't getting rid of me that easily." I practically whisper because my voice is scratchy, horse, and hurts a lot to talk.

"How are you feeling?" Uriah asks

"Like crap." I say

"I'm going to go get our mom she said to get her when you wake up." Uriah says then leaves the room

"What time is it?" I ask

"It's about 10 AM. you weren't out for as long as we thought you would be." Zeke says. I nod

"Do you need help sitting up?" he asks

I nod,"please"

He smiles and helps me sit up which is really painful to do and he puts some pillows up on the head board to hold up my back. After 2 minutes of talking to Zeke Uriah and their mom comes in.

"Oh honey it's so good to see that your awake! I'm assuming your still in pain?" she asks as she pulls up another chair by the bed and sits down.

"Yeah everything hurts. Moving, talking, breathing."

She frowns,"sadly you will be like that for a couple of days, most likely for the entire weekend then when school comes around you will still be hurting but not as extreme as you are now."

"Thank you so much. All 3 of you, I have no idea what I would've done without you. Really I truly am grateful for all 3 of you and sticking by my side."

"Anytime sweet heart. you are apart of the family. We can talk about what we are going to do about Marcus later but for now you need to relax." she says then she walks out.

For the rest of the day I sit around with Zeke and Uriah and watch our favorite movies, play our favorite video games, and eat our favorite junk food. They really kept my mind of of Marcus. I really have the best friends ever.
