Twenty Third chapter

Four's POV

- Our lives aren't that different - She said. And with that she left.

¿What is that supposed to mean? It couldn't be what I think it is..... No, John is a good person, he wouldn't.... But Marcus was a good person to the others, John could easily be pretending. I will have to confront Tris about it.

Tris. ¿Why do we always end up fighting? I know it's my fault but I am still angry, ¿ What are we gonna do? I can't lose her. I grab my phone and start dialing a number.

- Hello?

- Hi Zeke

- Hey Four, what's up?

- Can you do me a Favor?

- Tell me

- Tris and I had a fight, she left to her house but I want to make sure she got there safe.

- So you want me to check on her?

- Yes. Would you? - I waited for an answer but none came, I was about to hang up but I heard a faint "yes".

- Yes? - I asked him to confirm.

- Yes, I am leaving right now, I'll call you.

- Thanks

- Whatever - He ended the call.

I knew he was angry at me, Zeke has come to consider Tris as a little sister so me hurting her is not something he likes.

I waited and waited. ¿ What was taking him so long? It was only a 10 minute drive from his house to hers. 20 minutes later my phone stars ringing.

- Hello? Zeke what took you so long, It was.. - I started but he interrupted me.

- Shut up!!! You have to come to Tris' house, NOW!! - He said.

- I don't think it's a good....

- NOW!!! - He yelled.

I sprint towards my car and drive as fast as I can to Tris'.

¿What happened?, ¿Is she OK? I get there and park behind Zeke's car. I go to her house and ring on the doorbell. Zeke opens the door.

- Come with me - He said, walking upstair. I followed him to Tris room and I enter to find an awful sight: a battered Tris laying on her bed, barely breathing and staring into space.

-¿ What happened? - I managed to say. Her skin was blue and purple and you could see blood stained in her cloths and hair.

- I-I don't k-know - Zeke said, trying not to cry. - I was driving here but heard a scream coming from a nearby alley and found her laying on the ground being held by 2 boys and another was on top on her only God knows doing what to her. I took care of them but when I tried to approach her she started screaming and trashing. She passed out from pain or exhaustion, I carried her to my car and drove her here. She has been like that since she woke up.

I was crying by now. This was all my fault. Slowly I walked towards her but she didn't move, it was like she wasn't here. I touch her hand but she immediately moved it away and started screaming.

- Don't touch me!!! Don't touch me!!! - She yelled, shaking and crying.

I felt to my knees and put my head on my hands, I feel helpless, useless, this was all my fault.

Zeke grabbed Tris' hand and started soothing her, she immediately calmed down. I was jealous, ¿Why could he calm her down but I couldn't?

Zeke noticed my murderous glare towards them and explained:

- She knows who I am, She thought you were another person.

I nodded in understanding and sat on her bed beside. Gently I grabbed her hand but she started shaking and screaming again.

- It's me Tris!! It's me!! - I grab both her shoulders and shake her.

She stops and then surprisingly she hugs me. We stay like this until she fall asleep and I go to the living room with Zeke.

- Do you know who attack her? - I asked once we have sit down on the couch.

- Yeah.... - He hesitated a little but finally he said: They were Peter, a kid whose name nobody knows, Drew or something like that and Al.

My hands were in fists and I was sure that my face was red with anger.

- I am gonna kill them - I said in a low voice. - I wonder what did they do to her to leave her in that state.

Zeke avoided my gaze. He knew!!

- You know - I accused him.

- What? - He said, trying to sound innocent.

- Tell me, I deserve to know.

He seemed to think about telling me or not but decided to do it.

- They were - He took a deep breath - They were touching her.

- Well daaaa, those blue and purple marks do not appear out of nowhere but I would call that hitting, not touching.

- No - He said - They were touching her, as if in almost raping her.

- They. Touch. Her - I said. I stood up ready to go and kill them but Zeke stopped me.

- Get out of the way!!! I'm gonna kill them!! - I yelled.

- Not now. Tris needs you - That was enough yo convince me. A few minutes later Zeke left.

I went to the kitchen and found a note from Amelia and John saying that they would be away on a business trip, ¿should I tell them what happened to Tris? No, If john is how I think he is, things will go worse for Tris.

I heard a scream coming from upstairs and sprinted towards Tris' room. She was having a nightmare.

- Wake up! It's just a dream! - I said while shaking her. She wakes up and starts crying, I lay with her on the bed and rock her back and forth until she calms down.

- Want to talk about it? - I ask. She shakes her head.

- Do you need something? - She nodded.

- What? - I ask.

- You - She said. I lean in to kiss her but she moves away.

She was damaged, but I was gonna be there to fix her.
