Something is seriously wrong with Dave, he can't just get up and leave!

After getting a ride from Ricky and Jane, and a lot of sympathetic stares, Jane gave me her number.

"If there's anything you need, just call me. We can meet up before you fly back. And don't get mad at David. That's just how he is."

I didn't know what to say, I said goodbye and got out of the car and into the hotel. I went straight to David's room. I didn't even knock. As I barged in, I saw David sitting on the floor, his back to the bed and the room looked chaotic.

Lamp smashed on the floor, what used to be a cup of water is spilled all over the carpet with glass all over the area, the mirror on the wall cracked and had some red stains on it. David's hand was bleeding.

"Oh god, Dave. Your hand is bleeding."

He looked at me then looked at his hand for a second, and felt like he just noticed the cut.

"What happened?" I went inside the joined bathroom, brought a couple of napkins and knelt down to the ground to stop his hand from bleeding.

"She's moved on. She's happy. He is better than me."

It broke me to see him like this, all self doubting and comparing himself to Ricky. But I didn't know what to say. You never know what to say when someone you love is hurting.

I took his hand in mine and started to clean the cut. After minutes I was done and made him hold the napkin just to make sure it won't bleed, the cut wasn't deep or anything.

With my right hand I held his chin and made him turn to look at me, I gave him a faint smile and a reassuring eyes. I tried to just make him feel like everything is going to get better.

I removed my hand from his face and embraced him in a hug. And god knows I needed that hug more than he did. He held on for a few minutes and I started to let go, he looked at my eyes and for a second his eyes went down to my lips, as he was getting closer I moved away from him. Which was the hardest thing I've ever done. It's not easy to walk away from a kiss by the love of your life.

I got up and straightened my clothes a bit, and just wanted to talk to break the tension.

"So, what now?"

"I don't even know."

"You think we should go back?"

"To their house?"

"No, I meant home."

"Ah, I don't know." Dave said and got up from the floor. He took the lamp from the ground and put it back on the side table. He started to collect the small glass pieces of the cup and putting it aside.

"I hate to see you like this, Dave. This is not who you truly are."

Dave stopped and looked at me, the look turned into a stare and it was obvious he just discovered something.

"What's wrong?"

"You know that you are a genius, Raf! Absolute genius." Dave smiled. "Of course that's it, that's what we should do."

"Come again?" I had no idea what he was talking about.

"Didn't you hear yourself, you just said 'This is not who you truly are'"

"Annddd?"

"And what if that's not who Ricky is?"

"What?"

"I mean, what if Ricky is hiding something from Jane. What if Ricky who she's in love with isn't the true Ricky!"

"Now, you are just talking nonsense."

David was thrilled about this, he thought that we should dig around and find stuff about Ricky, and find the one thing that will jeopardize their relationship and shine a little light to it.
