Rick's point of view: Ugh. I'm worried like HELL. 5 hours?! That's too LONG! What if something bad happened to her? What if she's kidnapped? What if she'll never be found?! I quickly shook my head. I cannot think this way. I should think positively. I grabbed my car keys and went outside. I drove to the planned destination as fast as I could. Zoooom~ "Hey guys." I greeted my student council officers as I slammed my car door shut. They were all yawning and scratching their eyes. I spotted my treasurer half-asleep on the floor. "What's the problem, Rick? It's 2:15 in the morning!" Dale, my secretary, complained. "Dale, I've explained it to you for many times already!" Lance answered, feeling annoyed. "Yes, I know, Lance. But I don't get it! Why do I have to stay up so late looking for a girl I do not even know!" Dale retorted. "I'm sorry, guys. How 'bout this? I'll ask the teachers to excuse us for the whole day tomorrow. How 'bout that?" I offered while smirking. Dale hesitated for a moment. "Whatever." Dale sighed, giving up. I smiled. I, then, gathered the officers to tell them my plan. I assigned two officers for each place of the town. This way, it would be faster. "Then, let's go!" I said putting my arms on Dale's shoulder. "Wait!" Lance called out. "Now what?" Dale asked impatiently. "We still lack one person." Lance said while dialing a number on his phone. I headcounted the people present. "Huh? We're complete. What are you talking about, Lance?" I said, totally confused. "I think he's half-asleep." Dale whispered. "I heard that!" Lance retorted and glared at Dale. "Whatever, Lance. Let's just go. We don't have much time." I said while looking at my watch. It was 2:22 am. "She's here." Lance said. "Who's here?" Dale asked. "There." Lance said while pointing someone at my back. I turned around. My eyes widened in surprise. WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!
Rick's point of view: "What are you doing here?" I spat out. "Surprised?" she cooed and let out a giggle. "What are you doing here?" I repeated, feeling annoyed more and more. "I was going to help, my Ricky pooh." she answered seductively. "You're going to help?" I gave out a sarcastic laugh, "You're going to help while wearing that prostitute outfit?" I mocked while pointing at her 5-inch heels, super short skirt and a blouse that shows too much skin. She pouted. "I only want to help." she said in a babyish voice. Ugh. She disgusts me. I was going to force her to leave when Dale blocked my way. "Sure, Regina. You're welcome to join us!" Dale smiled. He, then, turned to me and glared. "Whatever! Let's go, Dale." I spat out and turned away. The rest of the members also parted. "I'm coming with you." Regina called out and ran towards us with her heels clacking. Ugh, just great. "CHELSEA, ARE YOU THERE?!" "CHELSEA!" "Dale, check the map again." While Dale was checking out the map, Regina continually stared at me. "What's your problem?" I retorted. "I can't believe you're doing this." she commented. "Why is it unbelievable?" I asked while looking around and calling out Chelsea's name. "I mean, you are doing this and yet, she does not even love you." Regina said. I stopped walking. Regina also paused and looked at me. "I know that." I said quietly. "Then why are you doing this? You're looking like a big IDIOT." Regina mocked. I sighed. "Because I love her." I said and smiled at Regina. "It's okay to look for me like an IDIOT to everyone. I'll still protect her until I die." I continued walking, leaving Regina dazed. "IT'S UNFAIR!" Regina shouted, startling me. "Sshh. It's the middle of the night. You'll cause ruckus." I loudly whispered. "I DON'T CARE!" Regina spat out. She walked towards me and grabbed my collar. Tears were dripping from her eyes. "Why can't it be me? I was here for you all along. I love you, Rick! I love you so much. Please love me back. Please?" she begged. Her tears were smearing her make-up. "I'm sorry." I sadly whispered. "I'll change. I promise. Please reconsider. Please?" she begged. Her breathing was getting harder. "I'm sorry." I once said. She released her grasp from my collar and collapsed on the floor. "What's happening?" Dale asked in wonder as he caught up with us. "Nothing." I mumbled. "Anyway, Lance contacted me. He has news about Chelsea." Dale reported. "What is it?" I asked, rushing to him. "They found Chelsea." Dale said solemnly. "YEAH!" I shouted happily, "We should celebrate." I said, beaming. "No, Rick. This is nothing to be happy about." Dale said, looking more serious. "Why? What happened?" I asked, feeling nervous. Dale sighed. "Chelsea, she..." I cannot believe what I was hearing. Someone, please wake me up from this nightmare.
