"Do you think she's okay?" Phil asked.
"If Mike found her then yes." Dave answered.
Dave's cell rang not to long later and he answered. He heard Mike tell him to meet him on Mark's floor and that he'd explain more later. They hung up.
"So." Phil asked.
"I need to head up to Mark's." Dave answered.
"Just you." Phil said.
"Phil if John hurt her, she's gonna need us all at some point and I'm the one she runs to usually first." Dave replied.
"I'm coming so I'm not completely in the dark. Mike can at least tell me how she is." Phil replied.
"You love her, don't you?" Dave asked.
"In my own way. But not that way." Phil answered.
"What way. you either love her or not." Dave said.
"Then yes I do." Phil replied.
"Then you should be the one she really needs. She's probably scared and doesn't understand. I'll get more out of her when I talk to her." Dave said.
Dave and Phil got on the elevator and headed up to Mark's floor. Once there, they met Mike.
"What's he doing here?" Mike asked.
"To listen so he not left out." Dave answered.
"All right. Right now she's in Mark's room and John is out. John beat her bad. It's worse this time." Mike said.
"Worse." Dave asked.
"John could've cared less if he killed her. He said no one would miss her." Mike answered.
"You know he's wrong. Lots of people would miss her." Dave said.
"I know that but John could care less." Mike replied.
"Anyway, I should get to her." Dave said.
Dave walked to Mark's and knocked on the door and Mark opened it. Mark let Dave in and Maek left. Dave saw Jessica. He sat beside her and he wrapped his arms around her. Jessica buried her head in his chest and cried.
"Jessica, it will be okay." Dave said.
"Will it." Jessica asked.
"In time." Dave answered.
Dave hugged her tighter and she calmed down.
"You know you should talk to Phil." Dave said.
"Does he know." Jessica asked.
"About this, yes and he's worried."Dave answered.
"Does he love me back." Jessica asked.
"He should answer that." Dave answered.
"Dave, could you get him." Jessica asked.
"Soon. Let's get you up so I can see the damage." Dave answered.
Dave got up and carefully helped her up. They moved over to the bed and Jessica took off the shirt Mark loaned her.
"Mark cleaned them the best her could." Jessica said.
"I see that but you do know you're gonna have to tell Stephanie." Dave replied.
"I know but I don't want to do it alone." Jessica said.
"You won't have to." Dave replied.
Jessica put the shirt back on. Dave got up.
"Give me a minute and I'll be back." Dave said.
Dave left the room and the other guys saw him.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked.
"Nothing." Dave answered.
"Is she okay." Phil asked.
"In time she will be." Dave answered.
"In time." Mike replied.
"Phil can I borrow your hoodie?" Dave asked.
"Yeah. Don't worry I know it's for her." Phil answered.
