Chapter 2
Part 1
Rose P.o.V
You hear loud voices, when you open the door. Bro didn't know about your visit, nor did Dave. You want to check on them, to make sure, that they´re alright. You´ve recognized some strange things about Dave's behaviour, since he´s not as well as bro at hiding everything behind this „cool kid"mask.
You´ve just closed the front door, when you hear a loud crash and hurry into the living room. Dave is lying on the floor, in front of the stairs. You assume that he did fall these down. He doesn't seem to move.
Quickly you pull your phone out of your bag, thankfully being able to think clearly. You dial 911 and calmly tell the woman on the other end what happened, while you watch Bro come down the stairs. You can see his shocked expression and you really hope, that he didn't have anything to do with the accident and Dave just stumbled or something.
You end the call and make your over to them, checking Daves pulse. You're relieved, when you can find it, but are puzzled, when you felt something weird under your fingers. You carefully pick up his right arm and push the sleeve up his arm. What you see is shocking you and as you raise your head and your eyes meet Bro´s, you can see the guilt in his eyes.
You decide to let the topic rest, at least for now. But you´ll definitely confront Bro about your discovery later. "We definitely need to talk." You let your older brother know and see that he slightly nods as answer, while gently stroking Dave's cheek.
There´s one question in your head: Why?
Part 2
Rose P.O.V
The ambulance brought Dave into the hospital.
He was diagnosed with several bruised ribs and high blood less, resulting from deep cuts along his left thigh.
Right now, you and Bro are sitting in the waiting room. "We need to do something. I won´t ignore, that Dave is hurting himself. And you need to stop drinking, Bro! I know, that you didn't mean to hurt him, but you can't control yourself when you´re drunk. And don't tell me, Roxy forced you. She didn´t. So, why don't you tell me, what exactly happened?" You start the conversation and confront your older Brother. But he still doesn't say anything.
You sigh and stand up, to get another cup of tea. It´s your girlfriends fault, that you're basically addicted to tea. You seriously can't understand why Bro won't talk to you. But you´re sure, that he has to hide something.
You quickly pull your phone out of your bag, as you sit down at the table again. Dave could use some friends now, so you send a text to John and Jade. They´re siblings and a far as you know, Dave´s best friends.
Dave P.O.V
When you first open your eyes again, you need to close them again immediately, because it´s way too bright. You hear a, sort of ringing sound, but you can't focus completely. Then you hear the door opening. "Hello Dave, I'm Kristina, your doctor. How do you feel?" Someone with a light voice asks.
You let your eyes adjust a little and then respond with a raspy (?) voice: "I feel nothing..." Kristina, a young, blonde woman, smiles warmly at you and helps you to sit up and then to drink some water, while explaining to you that the meds against the pain probably caused the temporary numbness.
"I´ll tell your family, that you´re awake." You just nod, tired and exhausted, even though you just slept for a long time. After seeing your approving nod, she leaves you alone again.
Finally you have some time to organize your thoughts...
