Alone(A Fourtris Story)

5: The gang?

I walk down the stairs and sit on the couch to watch TV. I flick it on and not five minutes in my phone rings. I groan and fish it out of my pocket. greaaaaat it's Christina. I hit the answer button and put the phone to my ear.

"Hey Trissy"
"Hey Chrissy"
"Soooo...school starts in a week"
"Ugggg don't remind me"
"You know what that means!"
"No no shopping"
"Awwwww please Trissy"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Ugg can we atleast go to the mall"
"Fiiiine but not today"
"Buuttttt whyyyyy"
"Becauuuuse"
"Ugh fine"
"Yeah"
"Can me and the gang come over?"
"Not today Chrissy"
"Ughhhh okay... tomorrow?"
"Yeah that's fine"

At this point I hear a faint tris from upstairs.

" I gotta go Chris"
"Okay bye"
"Bye"

I hang up and put my phone In my pocket. I get up off the couch and go upstairs into my room. I flick the side table light on and kneel on the ground next to the bed. Four turns on his side and looks at me. Smiling, I set my hand on his arm.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask
"I can't sleep" he says quietly
" What do you need?" I ask gently
"Can you stay?" He says quietly
I smile and nod my head. slipping off my shoes, I climb in next to him. I reach over and turn off the light. wrapping my arm around his shoulders I settle into the covers. He sighs and cuddles into me his chest pressed against my side. I smile and we drift off to sleep.

A few hours later I wake up wrapped in his arms. I smile and disentangle myself from his light grip. straightening the covers I walk out of the room and down stairs. the clock on the all reads 5:43. I walk into the kitchen and rummage through the fridge trying to find something to eat. I spot some chicken in the back of the fridge. I decide to make chicken strips and frozen fries. I put everything in the oven and wait for it to cook. once it's done I plate it and climb back up the stairs to wake Four. I step back into my room and walk over to the bed. bending over, I gently shake his shoulders to wake him up. His eyes flutter open and reveal his deep blue irises.

"Dinners ready" I say smiling. He flashes he bright white teeth at me and rolls out of the bed. When he hits the floor I laugh and offer him my hand. he grabs it and I pull him up. After watching him walk to the door I stand and follow. He looks much better after getting some rest. He goes to the dining room and sits at the table. I take a seat across from him and start to eat. While were eating I sneak glances at his perfect features.
"So I was wondering if you wanted to meet some of my friends?" I ask him
"Yeah sounds fun" he says
I smile and finish eating. once were done I take our dishes in and wash them off in the sink. once that's done I go back to the table.
"Did you want to take a shower?" I ask. he nods and I follow him back upstairs. while rummaging in Caleb's room I found some cloths that should for Four. though Four is skinny he's still much taller and more broad shouldered than my brother. I throw the cloths in the bathroom and call Four in. He thanks me and gets in. While he's in the shower I change the sheets on my bed. shortly after I'm done the shower turns off and Fours head pokes out of the doorway.
"The shirt doesn't fit." he says. I nod and grab him a new one. I toss it to him and, once again, he announces that it doesn't fit.
"Why don't you come help me find one?" I ask his eyes widen and he shakes his head
"No" he says to quickly"um...i mean-" he starts but I cut him off.
"What's wrong?" I ask gently
"I...I just" he sighs " My past shows on my body and..." I smile at him
"I won't judge" I say
"You will, everyone did" he says staring at the ground
"Okay I'll find you a shirt" I rummage I the closet more and FINALY find one that I know will work. I toss it into the bathroom and wit for Four. hehe for Four that's funny. god I'm so mature... Four walks out of the bathroom and smiles at me. We walk to my bed and collapse on it together. We climb under the covers and I turn to face him.

"Goodnight" he says smiling
"Goodnight" I repeat and lean over to kiss his forehead. my lips meet his forehead and it's surprisingly warm. I pull back and place my hand on his head. It's definitely warm. I tilt my head to look Four in the eye.

"Do you feel okay?" I ask and he nods. I bite my lip and think. The only other time people get fevers is either when they are sick or have some sort of infected wound.

" Do you have any cuts that could be infected?" I ask and he rapidly shakes his head

"N..n...no none" he says. wow somone can't lie very well. I raise my eyebrows questioningly and he sighs.
" Yeah okay just... don't ask questions" he says
He turns onto his stomach and pulls up his shirt exposing his back. I gasp slot louder than I should have, because of this I hear him sigh.The skin there that should be soft is instead covered In scars. a few of them are fresh and oozing a sickly green substance. I grab a wipe out of the first aid kit and clean them. Then I put cause around them and pull Fours shirt back down. He turns back around to face me, not meeting my eyes. I reach out and touch his shoulder. This causes him to raise his eyes to mine. I smile reassuringly at him.
"Night" I say
"Night" he replies

I turn over and go back to sleep. Soon enough darkness consumes me and I drift off to sleep. Dreaming of captivating blue eyes.
