Chapter 7: Four's POV

*Tris's next appointment a week later.

I got to work early today.

I would be lying if I said it wasn't because Tris's appointment is today. I don't know why, but she is all I ever want to think about. She puts a smile on my face every time I see her.

Her appointment is at 9:30. It's 9:17 right now and the minutes couldn't pass by any slower.

I run my hand through my hair. I don't even know why I'm nervous. It's not like we are going on a date or anything. She has to show up, it's a doctor's appointment.

"Four?" I turn around and see Christina in the doorway.

"Hey Christina," I say in a monotone voice.

"Oh so you're not going to be nice to me?" She smirks. "But you seem to be this wonderful, funny, nice, sweet guy whenever you see Tris."

"What are you talking about? I have to be nice to my patients," I scoff.

"Whatever. I know you like her, but listen to me and listen to me clear Four," she steps closer to me, "she has been through things and didn't handle them in the best way. I bet you would know that if you read her file. Anyways, she is still healing and if you hurt her Four, I swear to god you will not live to see another day." If only she knew the things that I went through.

"I would never hurt her Christina, you know me better than that."

"Good. Now I have a patient to tend to. See you late-I almost forgot! Zeke's little brother Uriah-you know the trainer guy-is throwing a party tonight. Zeke wanted me to tell you because he didn't know if he would see you today."

"Tell him I'll be there."

"Okay. Bye Four!" She yells and then walks out my office.

Not even a minute later I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

I see Tris and smile, but then I look up and see a guy, not a nurse.

"Hey blue eyes," I hear Tris say in her angelic voice. It hurts me even more.

You should have known she had a boyfriend idiot!

"Good morning Tris," I say professionally. I see a look of hurt cross her face when I call her Tris.

Tris clears her throat, "Um, can he stay in here? We weren't sure," she says sadly.

"Well," I say, "its family only."

"Well it's a good thing we're family!" This guy says. I'm shocked.

She's married! Why would Christina tell me not to hurt her if she's-wait is it her brother?

"Well I'm Four," I shake this guys hand. "I'm assuming you're her brother?" I say hopefully.

"Sadly," he says laughing.

Thank god. I was about to have a heart attack.

"I'm Caleb. I've been dying to see what her foot looks like! I hope you've been taking good care of her," he says trying to play it off like a joke, but I can tell that he is serious.

"Of course I have. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my favorite patient." I smile at Tris and she smiles back. She has a gorgeous smile.

I help Tris get on the bed and start to clean her foot while making small talk with her and her brother.

"Take this," I give a cup to Tris. "I still don't like to be vomited on."

She scoffs. "Are you ever going to get over that? I didn't even vomit on you!"

"But you almost did," I say laughing.

"Whatever," she says crossing her arms. I laugh.

"Okay I have to keep it unwrapped for the x-ray, so lets head over there," I say while helping Tris back into her wheelchair.

As I am pushing Tris down the halls to the x-ray room, Caleb keeps glancing at me. It's kind of freaking me out a bit.

"Alright we're here. Now, my good friend Zeke is going to be in there positioning your foot for different scans. Caleb and I will be watching through the glass window," I say while pointing to the window.

"Got it." She smiles and puts two thumbs up. Then Zeke comes in, introduces himself and so on, then takes her in the x-ray room while Caleb and I stand in the viewing room.

"So," Caleb says, "you like my sister."

I look at him, not knowing what to say.

Is it that obvious?

"Well, I uh, I mean, I um," I say while rubbing the back of my neck.

"I don't need you to explain it to me. I know you like her already. Now, I might not be a giant of muscle like you are, but I am a scientist and I work for the government. I might not be able to cause any physical harm to you, but I can ruin your life, career, everything. And that is much worse than any physical harm.

"If you hurt her, you may never have a job again, or who knows you could end up in prison. She has been through so much in this past year and you breaking her heart wouldn't help any of it. So, if you are just trying to 'fool around' with her, I strongly suggest that you stop it."

I gulp.

Who is this guy?

"Wouldn't dream of it," I say with a hint of fear in my voice.

"Nice to know we are on the same page," he says smirking.

I look through the glass for the first time and see that Zeke is finishing up.

I practically run out the room to go get Tris and put her back in her wheelchair.

Once we get back to my office, I clean Tris's foot again while Caleb stares holes into my back. I finish cleaning and wrapping her foot in a matter of minutes, wanting to get away from Caleb as fast as I can. As much as I want to spend more time with Tris, Caleb scares the hell out of me and I want to get far away from him.

"Well, your x-rays look great. I am going to put your foot in a cast because I think you should be able to use crutches now. So let me go get the stuff I need for it and I will be right back."

I hurry and get all the things I need for her cast. When I walk back into the room Caleb is not there. Did he follow me or something?

"Where's Caleb?" I say while looking around the room.

"He said he had to use the bathroom."

"Your brother," I say while setting up my things, "scares the hell out of me hippie."

"Caleb?! Where did you here that from blue eyes?" She says while laughing.

"Caleb," I say quietly just incase he is listening in on our conversation.

"Seriously. You are afraid of him?" I slowly nod. "I don't know how that is when you have the body of a Greek god," she says laughing. Then she realized what she says and her eyes open wide.

I smirk.

"Well, you know, you are, umm, really muscular," she stutters out.

"I don't think that is a good enough explanation for calling me a 'Greek god' hippie," I say smirking even more.

She opens her mouth to say something, but then Caleb walks in.

"Almost done?" He says.

"Yep, just waiting for it to dry a little more. Christina is going to bring you some crutches for you Tris." I'm afraid Caleb will find my nickname for her offensive.

Right after I say that, Christina comes in with the crutches.

"Hey!" She says with her bubbly voice. It can get annoying at times, but she's still my friend. "I thought you were leaving earlier today Caleb?"

"I was, but I pushed it back so I could come here with Tris. I'm leaving right after this," he says sadly; Tris frowns.

There is an awkward silence in the room and I don't even know why there is. What's going on that they know, but I don't?

Then I remember what Christina told me, "I bet you would know that if you read her file."

What's in Tris's file?

I decided to break the silence.

"Well I think that it's dry enough now, Tris. I'll see you next week."

I walk out of my office wondering if I should read Tris's file. If I really do like Tris, I should wait for her to tell me. I want to gain her trust, but I still want to know what it is that has Christina and Caleb threatening to kill and ruin me if I hurt her even more.
