Chapter #17:Brother

Tris POV

"I know, he was my brother" Four says, I gasp.

"That can't be possible…. No… Can it?…. No… Maybe?" I think out loud, Four just looks blankly at the picture.

"Oh its possible"

"But.. but… he only had an older brother named Tobias?" Then it hits me. He's Tobias. "Your Tobias?" I state more as fact then a question.

"Yes I am" We are both quiet for a long time, we didn't move, we didn't talk, we just sat there staring at the photo.

"You said 'he was brother' What happen to him? Do you two still talk or are in contact because I would lo-" He cuts me off.

"He died" He says in a mellow tone, while I'm gaping at him.

"What happened to him? When you were telling me your life story about your father why didn't you tell me about your brother too?" I fire off question after question.

"You know when I told you my mother died in a car crash?" I nod, he continues "Well he was in the car too, they thought they could save him. They couldn't. They got him out of the car and into surgery but they were so worried about internal bleeding, they overlooked his spinal injury that punctured his lung. He died because blood was leaking into his lungs causing him to be unable to breathe. The reason I never brought it up was because I never bring it up, ever. Not even Zeke knows about him, I met Zeke a couple of months after the car crash" He says and I can see tears fill up his eyes but he tries to push them back. I take my hand and place it on his back while slowly rubbing his hands.

"I'm so sorry" I take the photos out of his hand and put it into my pocket.

"Its been along time since I have seen his face" He says through my shirt as he has pulled me into a hug and his face is resting on my shoulder.

"Its okay, I got you" I slowly rub his back while saying comforting words to him.

I got to bed that night mourning my old best friends, thinking of all of the fun times I've had with him. It just puts a smile on my face, Brian Eaton will be him my heart forever.

Four POV

I wake up the next day with my dream still fresh in my mind. My dream was about Brian, for the first couple of months after my mother's and brother's death I had dreams about them all of the times, some good, some bad. But no matter good or bad I was always happy to see their faces again.

I stay in bed till I know I'm if I don't get up know I will be late for work. I head over my washroom and do what I do every day; shower, get dresses, do my hair, shave, eat breakfast. After I finished all of that I grab my car keys and head out the front door.

In my truck the radio plays music but my thoughts are louder, Its about a 30 minute drive to works so I had time to think. Do I love Tris? How do you know? I have so many questions and not enough answers.

Way too soon I head into the my office and get to work.

Tris POV

When I wake up the wind in coming through the window and is sending chills down my spine, I get up and close the window, I look out the window and see that the sun is shining back at me. I take a minute to look down at the busy streets of Chicago. Lights are flashing everywhere and the noise never stops but I'm used to it, its kinda soothing, actually.

I walk to the bathroom after I finished looking at the beautiful city. I hop in the shower, washing my hair, and then I blow dry. I do my normal natural makeup and put my hair up in a bun. I walk towards my closet and pick out my outfit, I don't have work today so I choose a light grey sweater and black legging with some black Keds. I grab my laptop and do some research about what I want to do today. Soon I find what I need.

I write the address down on my phone and head out the door. I head onto the busy streets of Chicago and taking a right turn, I'm soon faced with a flower shop. I quickly buy a dozen red roses. I decide to take a taxi to my destination because it would be too far to walk, so I walk to the edge of the sidewalk and stick my hand out trying to hail a taxi. Its not long before someone notices me and pulls over.

I tell them the address and they take off right away. 20 minutes later I hop out of the taxi and walk down the grass pathways till I reach the one I want. I stop when I see Brian Eaton grave stone.

Brian Eaton

1994-2003

Will be missed

I haven't been to a cemetery since I last visited my parents. I put the roses next to the headstone and cry silently for my old best friend. I sit down on the grass and stare blankly into space.

Soon I decide its time to go home so I walk towards the front grates and call a taxi for a ride home.

Four POV

Going through aisles of food can be so boring. I finished work half an hour ago and now I'm at the grocery store for hamburger meat and beer. I head to the meat section and pick up the first one I find, I do the same for beer. I know for a fact that Zeke and Shauna aren't picky eaters. I pay for the food, and then I drive over to Zeke's apartment for the barbecue.

"Hey buddy" Zeke says when he greets me at the door. I give in a one-handed man hug because my other hand carries food. Zeke notices and takes the bags from me.

"Whats up" I ask while I follow Zeke inside. He drops the food on the counter tops and tells Shauna I'm here.

"Hey Four" Shauna pulls me into a full hug, which is weird since I'm a whole foot taller than she is.

"Hows its going?"

"Good… whats in here" Shauna peeks inside the whole food grocery bag.

"Just some stuff for dinner tonight" Zeke says while wrapping his arms around her waist.

-x-

We are all gathered around the dining table, Zeke and I are talking about sports and stuff when Shauna interrupts our conversation.

"What do you guys wanna do for Christmas? Its in like 2 months but still, I need to plan?" Shauna says out of the blue. Zeke and I share a look.

"I don't babe, maybe the gang can come over and we can have a homemade meal?" Zeke says.

"Yeah how bout Uriah, Marlene, Christina, Will, Tris and you guys, come over to Mine and Tris's apartment?" I pip in.

"I don't know if Tris is still going to be living in Chicago, in 2 months though" Shauna thinks out loud. What the hell? I'm too shocked to say anything.

"What do you mean Tris might not be living in Chicago in 2 months? Where is she going?" Zeke says loudly.

"She didn't tell you?" Shauna has the whole deer-caught-in-headlights look going on.

"NO!" I almost scream.

"Oh" She tries to backtrack.

"Where is she going Shauna?" You can even hear a panic in my voice.

"Well….. Elliot asked her to move to Washington with her, she didn't tell you" I can see confusing on her face but I really don't care right now.

"She didn't tell me" My voice is higher than usually but I'm trying to keep my cool here.

"Oh well I don't know if she said yes or no yet" Shauna squeaks out. I have to find out if she's leaving me.

I jump out my chair and head towards the front door without so much as a goodbye but then I feel Zeke's hand on my shoulder stopping me from moving.

"Where are you going" I can hear the concern in his voice.

"I'm going to find out if Tris is leaving" I say, I don't even wait for a reply.

The love of my life might leave me… What did I say love?

I love Tris Prior.
