David took them, holding them to her ribs. "Sweetie, I know it hurts, but I have to check." He traced along each rib, trying to see if any of them were broken.

"How can you even tell, Dave?" Eli asked him, taking Zippy's hand as she yelped. "Shh, we're here."

He shook his head. "If it's broken, I'd be able to feel it, it's be...crooked or disjointed." He sighed, finishing. "I don't think any of them are broken, Erin, but we oughta wrap your chest, just in case. Eli, we need a bandage, a long one."

Eli nodded, glancing at Zippy before leaving to go find a bandage. The pretty girl down the hall had a first aid kit...
"I'm okay, Dave," she told him, finding it hard to breathe. "dont worry." Even as her face was soaked with tears, her eyes puffy and red.

"Shh, shh, sweetie, I'll take care of you." He kissed her cheeks, wiping her tears away. "I--I'm so sorry, Erin. I said I'd never let anything happen to you..."

She managed a weak smile. "That's one promise of yours I never believed." She coughed, her face pale. God she must look so ugly with her face all bruised.

David touched her cheek gently. "Erin, I'm so sorry, baby. I shoulda' been there to protect you." He held the ice to her ribs.

"They woulda killed you," Zippy told him, trying to get up. "I'm okay, Dave. Tristan was there, he saved me."

David frowned darkly at that, pushing her back down. "Don't sit up." He got up, pacing. "Tristan to the rescue once again. Goddammit!"

((aww))
Zippy began to cry. "Stop. Dave please stop. You're here now he isn't." eli came back with a bandage and then slipped back out, sensing the tension.

David snatched the bandage from Eli, then shook his head. "I'm never gonna be able to compete against that guy. He's--he's always gonna have a hold over you. I'm never gonna be able to have all of you, not really."

Zippy continued to cry, pushing him away. "They attacked me! AND I WAS RIGHT!" She yelled at him, even though it hurt. But he was hurting her more. "THEY WERE FOLLOWING ME!"

David clenched his jaw. "Then clearly, I'm no good at protecting you. You should be with someone who is." He opened the door. "Eli, come here, please."

Zippy was sobbing, burying her face into her pillow, wishing she woulda died back there. Eli sauntered over to David, peeking into the room, a worried expression on his.
"What's wrong? She in a lot of pain? Should I get a doctor?"

David tried to keep his voice calm, though inside, he was aching and felt sick. "Erin needs to have her ribs bandaged. I'm sure you can manage that."
