Tris POV
I woke again with sharp pains in my chest. I tried to hold on the pain, but it was unbearable. I cried out, and hit the call button. A nurse came in a few minutes later and tried to help me. I had a high fever of 106. My parents were at home when this happened. It was 4am. They put an ice pack on my head and then gave me some painkillers.

##################

Finally I was allowed to go home. They nurse let me get changed into the clothes I always keep ready. I put on ripped capris, a red shirt and floral scarf, my blue toms, my brown bag and sunglasses. (Outfit at beginning of chapter.)

My first chemo treatment was in one week. I didn't want to look like a loser coming out of the hospital in a wheelchair, so I walked with the help of my dad and my mom rolled the wheelchair to take home. I probably wouldn't be going to school.

Four POV
Today, Tris wasn't in school. I'll ask Caleb about that, because after school I'm going to his house.

Caleb drove us home to his house, and his parents weren't there. That's odd. Inside there was a note for Caleb.

Caleb,
We went to pick up Tris. Please don't throw any parties. She isn't in the best condition. Be nice to her. We should be home around 3:20 maybe later.
Love,
Mom

Well it's 3:16 so they should be home soon. "Caleb, what does your mom mean 'not in best condition?'"

"I can't tell you. This is with Tris, not me. I'm not allowed unless it's okay with her."

"Okay." What could be wrong, I thought in my head. Probably nothing to worry about.

Tris POV
Finally. Home. I missed home. I get out of the car and notice Caleb's car is here. He probably has Four with him. Oh no, he can't see me like this.
"Mom, I don't need the wheelchair I'll walk," my dad comes up to me, probably to help, "by myself."

"If you think you can, go ahead."

"Thanks."

I walk really slow, holding on to the porch. I really can't do this. I'm out of breath terribly. My mom opens the door and I grab onto things in order to walk. "Hey Tris," Caleb says, "come here, I've missed you." He opens his arms. What should I do, I can't walk that far without holding onto something. The bones in my legs have been starting to hurt more, just another sign. Four was just watching me. I probably looked like an idiot standing here holding onto the counter. I am so out of breath. I walk over to Caleb and almost fall, but he catches me.

"Thanks."

He smiles, "Anytime."

I hold on to him because I know I'd fall if I didn't. I whisper in his ear and he walks towards a wall. I grab onto the wall and slide down it, putting my knees up to my chest and my arms around, while setting my head on top. I just need to catch my breath. I sit there, until I can't breath anymore. Oh my god, what's happening. I breath deeply, but the air won't go down to my lungs. I try to scream, but all that comes out is a croak.

I felt arms come around me and lift me up. I put my hands up to my mouth and nose, and sobbed because I couldn't breath. The next thing I knew, I was in a car, probably driving to the hospital, again. I heard my mother's soothing voice as my eyes closed and I blacked out.

Four POV
This is all strange to me, but after Tris slide down the wall, Caleb asked me to leave. Haha what's wrong with that thing. Probably sad that Caleb was faking the hug and kindness. I left, laughing and walking home.

When I wrote this, I was thinking how much of a jerk I made Four. That's just how this story is though, so sorry for those who thought he'd change. Read. Review. Like.
