" Night, night Lila." I whisper while closing her door.

I put Lila down for a nap because she was really cranky and sleepy.

Everyone in this house is asleep but me.

I walk down the stairs as quietly as possible and turn the tv on. I decide to watch Supernatural. Ugh! Babies leave such a mess.

I get off the couch and pick up Lila's toys and bottles.

"Ding! Ding!" My phone buzzes.

I grab my phone and see that I got a text from Four.

" Can I come over?"

" Sure!" I reply.

I hear someone knocking one door.

I go over to the door and four is standing outside.

" That was fast!" I say.

" Ya. I was already in your drive way."

" Stalk much?" I say lightly hitting his back.

" Ow!" He winces.

" Four our okay?" I ask with concern in my voice.

" No."

" Are you bleeding? Did you get hurt?"

" Ya I got hurt. And I don't know if I'm bleeding or not."

" Come into the kitchen."

" K."

" You have a baby sister?"

" Oh no. Lila is my cousin, but her mom is so busy she practically is."

" Is she here right now?"

" Ya but I just put her down for a nap about a half hour ago."

" Oh oh!"

Once we get into the kitchen I ask Four where his injuries are.

" All over my back." He says gesturing to his back.

" Ok. Take your shirt off please."

" Wait what?!"

" How am I supposed to treat your back if I can't see it."

" Fine."

Four slips off his shirt wincing every few seconds.

" Holy Crap! a Four what the heck happened?" I ask shocked.

" Marcus." Is all he says.

Who the heck is Marcus?

" Who's Marcus?" I ask

" My dad."

Oh my gosh!

" Your dad did this to you?! Was he drunk or is he just weird?"

" He's an abusive parent."

" What about your mom?"

" She died during child birth complications when I was little."

" I'm so sorry Four!"

" It's okay. I'm used to it but this time it hurt a lot more."

" How often do you get beaten?"

" Almost everyday."

Holy crap!

The baby monitor starts to make noises. Lila must be up.

" You should go get your cousin." Four says.

I forgot he was here! Man he looks so hot sitting on my kitchen counter shirtless. Tris! Snap out of it and go get Lila!

" Ya it's 7 so she's probably wants dinner."
