David's POV

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I look over and see that Liza is curled up next to me. She so perfect, even in her sleep she blows me away with her beauty. I grab my phone and see that it's Toddy. What could he want at 7 in the morning?

Toddy: David, you need to come over... like now!

David: Why, what's wrong.

Toddy: No time to explain. It's Heath. Just hurry!

I put my phone in my pocket and gently shake Liza awake.

Liza: Hmmm

David: I'm going out, ok. Something's up with Heath.

Liza: I want to come.

David: Liza I don't know if it's serious or not. You should stay here.

Liza: No. I'm also a friend if Heath and I want to make sure he is ok.

God she can be so stubborn, but I love her for it.

David: Ok fine. But hurry, we have to leave like now.

We got into my new Tesla and drove to the house. When we pulled up to the apartment the outside seemed normal, empty, but normal. Where was everyone? Liza and I walked in through the front door to find Toddy, Alex, and Zane all huddled around Scotty, who was on the phone.

Scotty: Heath, I can't understand you... where are you... no... Heath listen to me...

David: What's wrong with Heath.

Toddy: He called this morning and seemed panicked, but when we called him back he was so drunk he didn't even know where he was. Now we are trying to figure out where he is abd what happened, but he just isn't cooperating.

David: Let me talk to him.

Scotty hands me the phone and I hear the voice of Heath. But he was wat beyond drunk, he was slurring his speech and rambling on about random things.

Heath: But... its hot outside... dude I love you so much... here comes-

David: Heath listen to me its David. 

Heath: Hmm... David... I gotta tell you something... about Liza...

David: What, what about her?!

Liza: Who's "her"?

David: um... Corinna, yea he's talking about Corinna, hold on...

Heath: She's great. She's pretty, sweet, smart, funny, but she's way out of your league...

David: Excuse me!?!

Heath: You don't deserve her. She's only dating you because she feels bad... she... she deserves better...

That's it, I had had enough. I handed the phone back to Scott without saying a word, grabbed Liza's hand, and started heading for the car.

Liza: David, what's wrong. Are you ok?

I don't answer, but she wanted to understand. She wiggles until her hand was free, grabbed my shoulders, and looked me right in the eyes.

Liza: David Dobrik, if you don't tell me what's wrong right now. I swear I'll leave you.

I thought for a second, maybe that was for the best. Maybe Heath was right, no I loved Liza too much to let her go like this.

David: He, he said something's about us... that... that

I started to tear up.

Liza: David, I... I wasn't actually going to leave you. I, I just wanted to know. I love you, I'm sorry if I made you cry... I...

David: No Liza it's not that, well it is kind of, but it's not your fault. It's just... I just...

Liza: Ok, ok. It's fine, you don't have to tell me. Just calm down ok? Come on let's go to my place.

David: Ok.

I tried to stop the tears and be a man, but they just kept coming. God I was such a wimp. Maybe Heath was right. Liza needs a real, strong man. One that comforts her, not one that needs her to comfort him.
