Dan's POV

I get back to the table and stay quiet, silently thinking of my encounter with y/n. I feel a hand on my arm, which brings me out of my thoughts. 

"Dan are you ok?" zoe asks 

"Um ya..." All of a sudden we see Caspar walk by, dragging a wobbly y/n with him. I see Zoe's eyes widen at the site of her and gasps softly. 

After he has driven away with y/n, zoe looks over to me, her eyes still wide. 

"The girl that you were in the bathroom with, it was y/n??" 

I let out a strained laugh and rub the back of my neck "yup, the one and only" 

"Oh dan" she gets up, walks over to me, and pulls me into a hug "i cant imagine what it must've been like" 

I dont answer. Instead i wonder where Caspar could have taken her. I zone out for a while and i dont realize that the plates have been cleared, the food paid for, and that im being guided out towards Zoe's car. 

I fully realize whats happened when i get in the car, then i remember what had happened all those months ago with y/n. When i saw her in the supermarket. I had followed her all the way to some flat complex (is that a thing? Like apartment complex? Well idc if it is wrong, im american so dont sue me, dont kill me)

"I think I know where she is" i whisper, a smile creeping its way onto my face.

"Know where who is?" Zoe asks, pulling in next to Phil and i's flat building. 

"i think i know where y/n is!" I pull my phone out and all 999 (it is 999 right? not 911?)

"hello, this is an emergency operator how may i help you?"

"um i would like to report a hostage like situation, well ya see my flatmate's sister has been missing for a few months and we thought she'd just left but i saw her today and she was bruised all over but her bruises were hidden in a way, plus she was really really skinny. Like she'd been starved. Anyway she was taken by her abusive boyfriend who had raped her when they were teen's and i think i know where they are" 

"ok sir, what is youre name?"

"Daniel Howell"

"ok and where is it you believe she is" 

"she is (some apartment/flat complex)"

"ok, thank you. I will alert the police officers in that are right away." the lady said sounding real disinterested

"Ok but.." 

"Goodbye sir" 

The phone goes dead. 

I look over at Zoe who's got tears streaming down her face "di...did she tell you thats whats been happening?" She asks, her lips slightly quivering 

I wipe away a tear from her cheek "yes" i say softly " she told me that while we were in the bathroom" 

She lets out a small sob and gets out of the car. I follow her out and into Phil and I's flat. 

She rush's through the door, still crying, alerting Phil that something was wrong. She immediately heads for him and cries into his chest. He jut stand's there, his arms around her, comforting her. 

"What happened?" he asks as soon as Zoe pulls away, trying to compose herself

"Well basically caspartooky/nandhehasbeenhurtingherandabusingherforthepastfewmonthsandalsohasbeenstarvingherandirealizediknewweheresheisandya"
