Javian didn't join us for breakfast. I figured it would be better to take him a plate. He had to be hungry. When I got to the room, he was still dressed in the same clothes as before. He perched on the bed edge, reading something on his phone. I placed the plate of food on the bed next to him. "I thought you were going to take a shower and come downstairs." We all expected that. Kevin was looking forward to speaking with Javian after breakfast. But instead, he was hiding up here. Javian glanced at the food and wrinkled his nose. "No, thanks. I bought an apartment for this type of thing." So, he was going to leave. I nestled beside him on the bed. "I don't want you to go. Kevin needs you." They needed to hash things out before it got worse. Javian pressed the power button on the cell
