Can You Save Me? *UNDER EDITING*

Calling 911 And Telling Her Brother

Four

Shit ... what she has been through, I wonder how long it has lasted, days? Weeks? Months? Or even years?

I awakened from my train of thought by a message from Tris in our group chat.

I'm sorry, you guys made me realize the value of having friends again, thank you - Tris

What? What does she mean? No one has responded to her message yet so I write a quick answer to her

Tris, what do you mean? Are you ok? - 4

A minute passes, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes and still no answer, maybe she fell asleep? But I have a bad feeling.

I crawl over to her room again and the sight I encounter is terrifying, her limp body on the floor of her bedroom, four cuts on each hand and a pool of blood under her arms and a medicine jar with pills scattered around her. I rush up to her and feel a little pulse; I get her phone and dials 911

"911 what's your emergency?" a female voice on the other end responds

"I need an ambulance .... My friend has just tried to commit suicide," I say between sobs

"Which address? Does she have any pulse?"

"A weak pulse, Dauntless Road 4610"

"Then a car is on the way to you"

"Thanks," I say and hang up. I grab Tris hand and bends down and whispers in her ear, "Do not leave me. Tris, I love you" It's only after I said the words I realize they are true

A few minutes later I hear sirens and paramedics rushing in through her bedroom door. Drivers are required seconds later, rushing her brother in

"What the hell happened? Bea? Bea!" he screams to his sister

The medics load on Tris body on a stretcher and roll her to the ambulance. The other medic turns to Caleb and says in a soft voice "Northwestern Memorial Hospital" Caleb nod his head for a response.

"Who are you and what happened to my little sister?" Caleb roars at me

"I go to the same school as Tris" I say gently "She has told me what your father is doing to her," I continue quickly.

"Do to her? What does he do to her?" Caleb screams

"He beats and rapes her?" I ask gently, he did not know what is happening to his own sister?

"WHAT ?!" Caleb screams once again

"Yeah ... She called me last night and asked for help afterwards ... That's when she told me" I say, "But Caleb, we should go to the hospital now"

He nods in response and we go out of the house and he drives out of the driveway

"What is your name?" asking Caleb suddenly

"Everyone calls me Four"

"Okay ... You know Four, it's not the first time she has attempted suicide, I guess that's what it's all about? She has tried many times in different ways in different cities and I have never got to know what bothers her, thank you for telling me"

"Caleb, I thought you knew and you must promise me not to tell her that I gossiped, and then she will never trust me again. I need that one trusts me because she needs somewhere she can go if she cannot be at home"

"Why do you care so much about my twin sister?" Prompts Caleb

"Because I love her," I respond certainly

"Love her? You barely know her, we've only lived here a week"

"But the week changed my life and I got a glimpse of how her life has been and how it should change, how can you not love her? She is beautiful, smart, independent and put everyone else's needs ahead of their own"

At this point, we parked in the hospital parking. We shut the car doors and walk slowly into the hospital. I walk up to the information desk.

"Yes, can I help you?" says a man in a snobby voice

"Beatrice Prior?"

"One minute," replies the man "Building C, Floor five rooms and 487"

"Thanks," I say to the man and turn around "Come on, let's go up," I say to Caleb.
