Here we go
Recap: Ana accepted Christian's job offer and told him she was leaving Jack. Christian comforted Ana and the two kissed which confused Ana and made her leave work early and call in sick the next day. Christian went round to make sure she was ok and clear the air with her so she would come back to work and Jack came home. Ana made Christian leave and then Jack accused her of sleeping with Christian in their apartment and he hit her. Ana came clean to Jack about their kiss but swore nothing else happened and Jack left the apartment.

"Christian this better be a damn emergency," I said as I answered "It's 10pm and I'm about to go to bed, I've had a long day," I told him.
"I'm worried about Ana," He stated and he sounded really panicked.
"Why?"
"She called in sick to work today so I went over to check on her this afternoon. Jack came home when I was there and it was obvious how angry he was. Ana made me leave and I haven't been able to get hold of her since," He told me "I was wondering if you and Elliot would go round there to check on her, make sure that everything is ok. I would go myself but if Jack is there I don't want to cause Ana anymore problems," He added.
"When did you last call her?" I asked.
"About half an hour ago," He answered.
"Ok. Elliot and I will go round there now and call you when we get there."
I ended the call and looked over at Elliot who was just about to take his clothes off for the night; he sighed and looked at me pleadingly not to have to go out.
"We need to go to Ana's," I told him "Christian is worried because Jack came home when Christian was there earlier checking on Ana and now he can't get hold of Ana," I explained.
"If Jack has done something to her-"
"I'll be at the front of queue to murder him." I told him.
I looked at the pjs I had set out on the bed, waiting for me to put on and grabbed my handbag instead that had my keys and everyone else I would need. Elliot grabbed his jacket and we made our way down to the car and to Ana's apartment.
It wouldn't take us long to get to Ana, I only live a few minutes away and this time of night there isn't much traffic.
I knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later. I never should have moved out with Elliot, I loved him and of course I love living with him but I should have had him move in with me and Ana that way Jack could never have invited himself to live there and Ana wouldn't have to put up with his shit all the time. I've told her time and time again that Jack is no good for her and she needs to leave him, she keeps telling me she's going to break up with him and throw him out but she never does. I don't know if she is too scared to break up with him or he just simply won't leave.
If he has hurt her then I swear to God I will kill him. I know he's capable of it; you just have to see how he is with her and listen to the way he talks about her when she's talking to other people. Jack doesn't like Ana being around anyone but him. He doesn't like me or me and Ana being friends but he is not going to push me out of her life, he would have to kill me first.
I stopped the car outside Ana's apartment and saw the living room light on which is a good sign.
"You ok?" Elliot asked.
"I'm scared of what I'm about to find," I admitted.
"Do you want me to go alone?" He offered.
"No." I answered.
The two of us got out of the car and went into the apartment complex, we walked up the stairs to her apartment but it seemed to take longer than usual. Ana's front door came into view and my stomach started to twist in knots, what if he has done something to her? What if he's killed her?
That might sound dramatic to some people to just assume he's hurt or killed her but I know both Jack and Ana... something isn't right.
I knocked on the door and heard movement on the other side.
"Hello?"
The door didn't open but I heard Ana on the other side, I let out a sigh of relief, she's alive at least.
"Ana it's Kate and Elliot," I said.
The door opened and Ana turned her back as we walked inside, Elliot closed the door behind us and we walked into the living room. Ana sat down on the couch and I noticed the marks on her face and the blood soaked tissue on the coffee table.
"Oh Ana," I rushed over to her "What happened?" I questioned.
"I'm ok," She said in a monotone voice.
"You are not ok," I replied.
"I'm ok," She repeated.
"Elliot, call Christian," I ordered.
"No!" Ana shouted.
"Ana please talk to me... did Jack do this to you?"
"He just lost it." She answered and then started crying.
I wrapped my arms around her and nodded at Elliot; he got his phone out of his pocket and went into another room to call Christian.
Christian
I never should have left her there alone with him! I knew he was angry and I knew how scared she was of him, I should never have left and now she's hurt and it's all my fault. I allowed this to happen but I'm not going to allow him to get away with this, I will make sure he is locked up for this so he can't hurt Ana ever again.
Elliot didn't go into detail about how hurt Ana was but he said to come over quickly and maybe convince Ana to go to a hospital to get checked over. What kind of animal is Jack? If Elliot thinks that Ana needs to go to hospital means that she is hurt pretty badly. What did he do to her? It's not like she's a guy who can fight him back, he didn't have to do anything but shout at her and I'm sure that would have subdued her. She is scared of him and she had every right to be.
I knocked on Ana's front door and Elliot answered, Ana and Kate were in the living room and Kate was talking to Ana who was crying. I noticed the blood stained tissues on the coffee table and knew that whatever happened to make her lose that much blood needs to be taken care of.
"She's got a head wound, the bleeding has slowed down but it hasn't stopped. Ana said she feels sick and 'funny'. I was going to call an ambulance for her," Elliot told me.
"What happened?" I asked him.
"She said Jack lost it. They were arguing about your visit and she slapped him after he called her names and then he just let loose on her. He slapped her, had her on the floor, she hit her head on the coffee table and he punched her," He said.
"Where is he?"
"We don't know. Ana said he left after he attacked her and no one has seen or heard from him since." He answered.
I went over to Ana and Kate moved out of the way so I could sit in front of Ana. I noticed the blood stain on the side of her face, the split lip, her black eye and the blood around her nose and mouth. She looked at me and her eyes grew wide in fear, she didn't need to fear me.
"If Jack finds you here-"
"It's ok... you're ok... I'm not going to let anything else happen to you," I promised and grabbed hold of her hand "Ana you need to go to hospital," I stated.
"I need to take some aspirin and go to sleep," She replied.
"No," I shook my head "Your head is still bleeding. You can't go to sleep with a head injury, you need to go to the hospital so they can fix it for you," I said.
"I don't wanna go to hospital," She cried.
"How about I get my mom to come here and take a look?" I suggested and Ana nodded "Elliot, call mom and tell her what happened. Also, go down to Taylor and tell him to go looking for Jack Hyde and bring him to the police station," I ordered.
"Jack is going to kill me," Ana whispered.
"No he's not," I told her.
"He won't let me go," She replied.
"He hasn't got a choice." I said.
Elliot left with Kate to call mom and speak to Taylor. I sat with Ana and held her hand, she run out of tissue so she had nothing to put against her head wound, I took my tie off and folded it to make it padded and held it to the side of her head. She winced at the pain but allowed me to do it.
I should never have kissed Ana at the office yesterday, if I hadn't she would have come into work today and none of this would have happened. There really is no one else to blame but myself, I knew how Jack was with Ana and knew that he accused us of having an affair so I should never have come over here. All of this has happened because of me but I'm going to set it right, I am going to make sure Jack goes to prison and I am going to take care of Ana. I am going to do whatever I can to make this up to her, whatever she needs me to do or wants me to do, I'll do it.
I hope Taylor finds Jack and I hope he finds him soon. I don't want Jack to get the chance to come back here and hurt Ana more, I want him locked up like the animal he is and as far away from here as possible. I don't want Ana to even hear the name Jack again.
The door opened and Elliot came back in with Kate.
"Mom will be here in 10 minutes," Elliot said.
"Taylor has gone to find Jack," Kate backed up.
"I'm going to stay here with Ana tonight so if you two want to head home, feel free," I told them.
"And if Taylor doesn't find Jack and he comes back here? No way am I leaving Ana here," Kate stated and planted herself down on the sofa.
"I guess we're staying." Elliot said and sat down next to Kate.
Poor Ana, however she is lucky to have people in her life that will drop whatever they are doing to come and check on her. Now that everyone, including Ana, can see how sick Jack is, hopefully she will end this for good now.
