Mocking Dick (8)

You immediately felt a wave of disbelief rush through you as the officer left. None of this could be happening.
Briana and Kim had ceased their conversation to join you. Their faces lit up for the first time today as they quickly started talking.
You held a hand up to stop them.
“One at a time, please. This headache is raging and it’s hard enough to understand what is going on.”
Kim motioned for Briana to speak.
“They found him, Y/n! They found Rich!”
The sense of panic in your system left at the sound of those words. He was safe, and you’d have to talk to him soon enough. There were no longer any nerves about seeing him; you were just worried.
“W-where? Where is he?”
Kim pulled out her phone, sending a fast text to Rob, who hadn’t stopped looking for his best friend since he was reported missing.
Meanwhile, Briana eased you over to the couch, trying to calm you down.
“We’ll find out and tell you, but right now, you need to sit down. Maybe sleep off that hangover.”
You frowned, but complied because a nap sounded pretty good right now, even if you had just woken up an hour or two ago. You sunk back into the leather couch and immediately felt yourself dozing off. Rich would be there when you woke up, and that thought sent you into sleep.
–
A pair of hands shook your shoulders and awoke you from your sleep. The sounds of people talking in the background were enough to fully wake you.
“What,” you groaned, trying to shake off that sleepy haze. Your eyes opened quickly at the realization that Rich was most likely back.
“He’s over talking to Rob and Matt,” a voice, probably Kim’s, whispered to you.
Those words had you standing up and pinpointing exactly where Rich was. You saw his messy hair, clothes from the night before, and a tired look in his eyes.
You would figure out what happened later. What you first did really was a blur, but one secons you were by the couch and the next, you were hugging him.
Rich practically jumped in surprise. He didn’t think your first interaction with him would be this.
You wrapped your arms around the back of his neck and felt his eventually snake around your waist. The two of you stayed together for awhile before you pulled away.
“You scared the hell out of me! What happened?”
