Four pov

The crisp summer air filled the local park, the sun burning down, everyone wanted some fresh air-the park was packed. A young couple lounging on the fresh grass having a barbecue, the juicy aroma of sausages floated through the park, making everyone hungry. Across from the couple parked precariously on an old patch of grass was an ancient ice-cream van. The old, decrepit van had been in the family for years, paint peeling, bodywork rusting, the ice-cream van was fit for the dump, but as if transfixed, everyone in the local park was swarming to the van, tired parents, bored teenagers-everyone needed some refreshment. The ice-cream van driver a sweaty old man, looking worn and fed up, his eyes scanning the crowd,hoping for some refuge from the swarm of impatient customer. Beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, handing out melting ice-creams laden with sprinkles, the summer heat was all too much. Which I wouldn't want to eat, but in the weather people don't have much choice.

The aroma of the park was very overwhelming, it was very crowded. I try to find a not so crowed spot for me and my dog Zeus to sit, I then see a nice tree in the corner of the park, I lead a very excited Zeus to the spot. I sit down and I watch strangers in the park smiling and joking on with their friends or family. I grab the blue rubber ball out of my pocket, for Zeus and once he sees it he starts jumping up and down begging me to throw it so he can play, so I undo his leash and throw the ball for him.

"Drop it" I say, he drops in front of my feet immediately and sits and looks up at me as if he's saying 'throw it!' Whilst barking and since he's only a puppy it isn't very loud, cute even.

Since it's so hot and he only a puppy, he gets tired easily so after a while he gets tired and lays down next to me, panting from being so tired. Then my phone starts buzzing, I pull it out of my pocket and the names says, Zeke.

"Whats up Zeke"

"Where are you man I've tried calling at your apartment but your not there."

"I've took the dog out for a walk to the park since it's a nice day and I've actually got a day off"

"Well okay but me and Uriah are throwing a party tonight, just a small on there's just going to be me, you, Uriah, Shauna, Marlene, Lynn, Christina and Will. It will be amazing dude. The best party of the year."

"Okay count me in what time do you want me to be there?!" I ask.

"Um about 6 I'm doing a bbq so don't eat anything!" He says

"No problem I'll see you then " I say hanging up. I put my phone back into my jean pocket, I then look down next to me and I notice that Zeus isn't lying next to me like he was not even five minutes ago. I quickly stand up, looking around at my surroundings, to see if he's wondered off or ran to get another person ball, as it wouldn't be the first time. I try and look to see if I can see him but I can't, but since it's a really hot day the park is swarmed by people and I'm start to think I won't be able to see him, especially in this crowd.

"Zeus!" I shout, it sounds extremely weird to shout as it is a strange name for a dog and the story behind it is that I rescued him from a shelter so someone already named him. He was in a pen full of other puppies which where jumping up and down at my legs trying to get up and come home with me but Zeus wasn't, he was shy and in the back corner, that's when I knew I wanted him so I got him there and then.

I run my hand through my brown, slightly curly hair, thinking that anything could of happened to him, after a good search around the park and asking several people if they've seen him, I started to feel useless. I then realise that he might of gone out of the park and into the street which is near a busy road. I run out of the park and look around, and all I see is zooming cars past, I hope he has the sense to know not to cross a road as busy as that, what the hell am I thinking!? He's a dog he won't know to not cross that road!

I walk up the path running my hand through my hair once again, looking around to try and see if there's any sight of him anywhere. That's when I hear a faint barking, I try to look to see where it's coming from, hoping and praying it's his bark, but because there's about a million people out walking there dogs today it might not be his.

I glimmer of hope sits in my stomach when I see a small black dog in the distance, sitting on a bench outside the Chicago central hospital, next to a person, in blue. As I get closer I sign in relief, it is Zeus and he is jumping up and down on a young woman's knee, shes laughing as he's doing this and while he try's to lick her face.

Once I reach them I speak up, "um excuse me" her laughing stops but a smile remains on her face as she looks up at me. As she looks ups, I get a good look at her, she has golden blonde hair that shines in the sun but it's tied back into a bun on the top of her hair, bits falling out next to her ears, her eyes are a stormy grey that my own get captured in, she is quite petite but perfect. I notice she has a scar on her right cheek, running from the bottom of her left eye down to the bottom of her cheek but that makes her even more beautiful and I find myself wondering what the story behind it is.

"Oh hi he must be yours." She says while looking at Zeus, her eyes twinkling at him.

"Yeah he is, he ran away thank you so much for keeping him safe." I say.

"It's no problem. We had a good time didn't we, yes we did." She's says talking to Zeus, in a funny voice, which I must say is adorable and I find myself smiling. She stands up with Zeus in her hands. "Well here you go" she says passing me Zeus, giving him one last stroke behind the ear. When she stands up I notice how small she actually is but which suits her and that's when I notice she's wearing a nurses outfit, that seems a little too big on her.

"Thank you again, I'm Four." I say.

"Beatrice Prior but people call me Tris." She explains and I think it suits her better.

"So are you a nurse here or something?" I ask finding myself wanting to make conversation with her.

"Something like that" She smiles but it doesn't quite meet her eyes and I wonder what that could mean. Doesn't she like her job? Does she do something else? "But I best be off, I hope to see you again especially you Zeus, nice name by the way" She says whilst turning away from me walking back into the hospital.

"Bye Tris" I shout after her, but I don't think she hears me because she just keeps on walking. I finally see her disappear into the hospital building. I really hope to see her again.
