EDIT: THIS IS AN OLD FANFIC- Nothing will be accurate to now. This was run off of readers votes, but I didn't have many readers at the time of writing this. The whole thing is over. The story is done. Alright? Alright-
Cheesy title I know-
This is a...
Liy looked around, seeing Four return back to reality. Liy saw the pain in Four's face, knowing there's something behind the blue variable. The bitterness in his voice, the pain staining his face, his stance, it shows it all. Something was up. Everyone else went to talk with their friends they haven't seen in months, but Liy seemed to be the only one to notice Four's pain. She walked towards the host, gaining his attention.
"What do you want...?" Four asked bitterly, glaring at the light-switch standing in front of him. "Just to talk. I can tell something's up Four. For being someone with a horrible past, I can tell. Ever since I was able to escape my own dark mind, I've become more self aware." Liy explained. "Nothing's wrong. I don't need to talk." Four muttered, turning away. Liy sighed. "It's probably not bad as my problems. Just talk to me, alright Four? I can see your going through some mental pain." Liy said, sitting on one of the rocks in the forest.
"Come on, sit and talk. What's going on with X? You said he wouldn't be here, maybe we should start off with that." Liy said, looking at the blue number in front of her. He muttered something and sat down, turning to face Liy. "X is injured. He's currently in a hospital." Liy looked at Four. "A hospital...?" Liy asked. "Ugh... He's at the numeral hospital... He fell and broke some bones." Four muttered. "So... He's not in our world then..." Liy said. Four nodded, looking down. "He's... In our old land..." Four said. "Can you tell me more about your old world?" Liy asked.
Four stared at the ground. "Are you sure you're helping me...?" Four muttered. "Yes. Even though I'm eliminated and have nothing to do with your show anymore, you're really important to all of us, Four. Even us EXITers." Liy explained. Four sighed. "Alright..." Four said, getting in a comfortable position to tell his story.
Four's P.O.V.
|Flashback|
It was nighttime, my parents were fighting like normal. I decided to sneak out the window to escape the yelling of my own home, but before I got to the window, I heard a scream. It sounded like it was from my mother. I ran down the stairs to see my mother laying there, knocked unconscious, blood around her.
"Hey! Four! Turn and look at me!" My father sneered. Frightened, I turned to him. "You say anything about this, you're dead." My father said coldly. I quickly nodded, running back upstairs. "Such a useless..." My father's voice faded away when I went up the stairs, and I was glad that I didn't get to hear him cussing me out again. I grabbed my phone, dialing 911. I finally had something on my father. Almost immediately, someone picked up.
"911, what's your emergency?" Someone asked. "You gotta help me. My dad attacked my mom. She's lying on the ground unconscious, blood everywhere. She's not dead, but I need help, quickly..!" I whisper-shouted into my phone so my dad wouldn't hear. "What's your address? I will get an ambulance and some police down there to help." The numeral said. I told her my address. "Can you give me information on your parents?" The numeral asked. "My father... He's horrible... Cruel even. He's a navy blue number, like me, but not a 4." I explained. "And your mother?" The numeral asked. "She's a bright yellow 2, she's kind, but currently unconscious. Also pregnant." I said, and the numeral on the other line gasped. "She's pregnant?!" The voice shouted, hurting my ear. "Yes, yes. I need help, quickly." I whispered. "Yes, young sir. I'll get on it. Sorry, I just needed some information. Help is on it's way, young sir. Stay calm. Pretend this call never happened, I know how abusive relationships with children work. Many cases before-" The woman hung up before she even finished.
Not long after, I heard sirens outside. I heard someone run upstairs. "You fucker! I'll kill you!" My father yelled, slamming my door open. The knife he held seemed new and sharp, as if he knew this would happen. Before he was able to do anything, the cops and ambulance quickly flooded into the house. "Damnit!" He yelled, slamming into the window, causing it to shatter. The lunatic jumped onto the roof, and jumped off. Sirens were blaring loudly outside, some cops were running up the stairs, probably after hearing the window breaking.
"Where is he?!" One of the cops yelled. I quickly pointed to the broken window. "Outside, go!" Someone yelled downstairs to the others.

"Holy shit... Was your father arrested...?" Liy asked. Four nodded. "You didn't let me finish. There's still a lot." Four said. "One question." Liy said. "Yes...?" Four asked. "So... If you don't go by genders, how do you have mothers and fathers...?" Liy asked. "It depends on their personality. How they act. Then that shows what roles they have. Technically they aren't my mother and father, but more like parent figures, since we don't go by genders. X has a more feminine personality, but apparently, he would be a male if we had genders..." Four explained. Liy nodded, understanding.
|Back To Flashback + Four's P.O.V.|
I never been so scared in my life, knowing that all this was because I did something I was supposed to. "Kid, your going with your mother in the ambulance." Someone said. I looked up at him and nodded. I went downstairs, spotting the ambulance. I ran to it, the sirens blaring louder as I ran in between the many cars outside. "Mom!" I yelled through the sirens. "She's in here, bud. Don't worry, she's safe. Need help?" The nurse asked, holding her hand out to me. I nodded and grabbed her hand. She pulled me up into the ambulance. I looked around, seeing all the things around. I looked back down and saw my mother lying there, her bleeding reduced, but I could see blood staining around her.

"And after that, I started to get more distant with my family, blaming myself for everything that's happened." Four explained. "Alright, I see where your problem is coming from. It starts with your father and his abuse..." Liy explained. "It's not you, it's him." Liy said. Four looked up at Liy. "You did the right thing, Four. You can't blame yourself for your father's choices." Liy explained. Four sighed. "I guess... Thanks for letting me vent, Liy..." Four muttered. "No problem. Hey, you can always talk with me anytime. Since my elimination, I've learned that not everything can go the way you wanted it to. I was caught up on everything going right for my team, it got me eliminated. Threats don't work, and I know that." Liy said.

I'm proud of that. Anyways, y'all got more background on Four. Liy is very different than what we see cannonly, yeah, but I think she's better like this, so shush. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter. No votes, so next chapter will be a mystery for y'all. No hints, unless you really want some spoilers for this fic.
