David knocked on the door loud and strong hoping she would answer fast.

"Jeez David! Why don't you just break my door?!" Gabbie shouted swinging the door open.

"Sorry Gabbie," he sighed, "Liza and I are weird again..."

Gabbie sighed opening the door wider for David to step in, "Why? What did you do this time?"

David walked inside and sat on her couch, "I mean, I don't know... I just saw some pictures online and-"

"WHAT?!" Gabbie screamed, "so you believed something you saw online? Shake my head.."

David stood again, "Well they were really real looking! Look!"

David showed Gabbie the pictures of Liza and Jordan.

Gabbie put her hand on her hip, "Okay first of all, would Liza cheat on you? And second, THOSE ARE SO FAKE!"

"I know! But you know my trust issues..." David grunted sitting down again.

"You know what, i'm going to text Liza RIGHT NOW." Gabbie said grabbing her phone.

David sat anxiously waiting in silence as he watched Gabbie type at her phone. He wondered if she was okay, it hadn't even been half an hour but they were both worried sick about each other. After a few minutes, Gabbie looked up from her phone.

"Text her." She stated.

David looked up confused, "What?"

"You should text her, she's really sad, and I know she would never do something like that." Gabbie said in a comforting voice.

"Thanks" David smiled and picked up his phone.

David exchanged a few texts and in the end he shot her down. He felt a little guilty but they still needed time. Gabbie scolded him a bit about it.

David's eyes drooped shut and he thought of Liza.

RIIIIIIING! RIIIIIIING!

David grabbed his phone, and still laying down he looked at the caller ID...From the Stanford Hospital? He thought.

He picked it up.

An unfamiliar voice said, "Is this David Dobrick? Boyfriend of Liza Koshy?"

"Yes?" David answered confused.

"Well, I'm sorry to inform you that Liza Koshy was in a bad accident," David sat up, very alarmed, "and you are one of her emergency contacts, if you would like to visit her, she is here in the Standford hos-"

David hung up and already had one foot out the door.

He ran out of his car and ran inside the building. When he reached Liza's room, he saw Liza in a bed with a few cords attached to her, there were many cuts and scratches on her face and arms. Tears filled his eyes. This was all his fault!

There were two people inside. The first, a doctor, and the second, someone he didn't fully recognize. David analyzed his face and it hit him, it was Jordan?!

"Jordan?!" David's sad feeling was replaced with anger, "What are you doing here?!"

Jordan stepped back a bit raising his hands, "I'm just an emergency contact!"

He looked back at Liza hurt, so she was cheating? He didn't care at this moment though, seeing her laying there immobile was enough to make him break down.

After calming down, David sat down in a chair at Liza's bedside holding her hand. Later that night he drifted off to sleep only hoping.
