We went to the nearest park and sat on the bench together. I told him EVERYTHING. Everything about my private life, Heather and the reason why I cried. As times goes by, I felt very tired and sleepy.
"Hey Belle. You can sleep on my shoulder." I stared at him. Actually, he is kind, really kind.
"It is ok. I....." He pulled my head to lean on his shoulder with his hand.
"Just sleep. Don't worry." I trusted him..I slept on his shoulder. It's warm, It's comfortable. I didn't want to wake up from his shoulder. Suddenly, I felt I wasn't touching the ground anymore. Someone was piggy-backing me. I didn't care anymore, all I want was sleep, really deep sleep all my pain away.

~ Regan's P.O.V ~
I carried her to April's house. I saw her tears were streaming down nonstop. I wish I could bring her back to my house into my room and sleep beside her. Watched over her the whole night and hug her. I wish I could wash away all her pain. Belle, my love for you is getting deeper and deeper now. It's hard for me to get out of it. I rang April's doorbell.
"Rex? What are you doing here?" She rsised her eyes in surprised. "And what happened to Belle?!" She peeped behind my back.
"Something happened. I will tell you later. Let's bring her to her room first." April led me to her room.
"I will take a cup of tea for you first, ok?" She closed the door behind her.
I laid Belle down on her bed and look at her.
"Belle, I will definitely protect you." I kissed her forehead and walked out of the room.
Come Thursday.
... ... ... ...
~ Belle's P.O.V ~
I opened my eyes and saw April cleaning my face.
"April?"
"Oh, Belle... You woke up!"
"What happened?"
"Didn't you remember? Rex piggy-backed you back here."
"Oh ya... I remembered."
"Yesterday, after Rex left. You got a high fever. I was so shocked so I took care of you the whole night." April smiled.
"April... You didn't sleep?"
"Nope.."
"April...." I gave her tight hug. "I love you..."
"Rex told me everything. Is your dad ok now?"
"I don't know, either." I said miserably.
"it is ok... Rest for now, ok? I'm going to school now. Do you think you can stay at home alone?"
"Hey April. Can I go to school with you? I want to ask Heather about dad and I have to give Rafe an answer." I looked away.
"Rafe? What are you gonna tell him?"
"Maybe, you right. I should try it out with him."
"Belle..."
"Let's go, April. We are gonna be late." I changed into my casual clothes, tied my hair in ponytail and walked out of the room.
... ... ... ...
"Hey Belle. I'll go find Pierre first. You can head to class first, ok? And are you sure you're fine? You looked pale."
"Sure. I am fine." I smiled. There's stil thirty minutes before class so I walked to the back door to take fresh air.
"Hey Rafe...." I heard Rafe's and Heather's voices. I quickly hide behind the wall.
"Hey hottie." Rafe called out. "So, what's your plan?"
"I will definitely make Belle go crazy. I had plan on my mind. Maybe she's going to accept you. You have to make her fall for you deeply and dump her at the right timing. Remember, be careful."
"I will, sweetheart." Rafe giggled. "And after that, can you be my girlfriend, instead?"
"Of course...."
"I thought, I like Belle but then you ended up snatching my heart away." I saw that Rafe hugged Heather.
"Unfortunately....." I blurted out.
"Who's that??? Heather exclaimed.
"I already know your plan..." I walked to them.
"Belle..?" She stunned. "Aww... since you know our plan, then its too bad..." Heather walked away.
"Heather, how's dad?" I grabbed her hand.
"Dad? Who's your dad?"
"I said dad! How's dad?"
"My dad is not your dad anymore! You don't have the right to call him dad because it's all your fault!" Heather pushed me away and I fell on the floor." Don't mess up with me, bitch! I will definitely make you go crazy, Belle." She and Rafe walked away. Shit! I couldn't get up. My ankle....
"Ouch!" Suddenly, I felt dizzy. Its like the world is upside-down. I laid down on the floor and everything turned dark.
... ... ... ...
~ Rex's P.O.V ~
"Hey April. How's Belle?"
"I couldn't find her...." April said anxiously.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Last night, after you left, she got a high fever. I took care of her the whole night but this morning, she said she wanted to come to school to ask Heather about her dad's situation. I told her I will go look for Pierre and asked her if she's fine. She replied she's fine but her face look pale. I went to look for her in the class after that. Her friend said she.wasn't in there. She didn't even attend the first period of lesson.
"Calm down, April. Let's look for her separately."
"Ok!"
Belle! Please..! Please be fine! I walked to the back door and checked. I saw someone lying on the floor.
"Belle?" I walked over to confirm and it was Belle. "Belle..! Belle.., wake up."
... ... ... ...
~ Belle's P.O.V ~
I opened my eyes and found that I was in someone's room. Suddenly, someone came in the room.
"Belle, how are you feeling?"
"Rex? Why... Why am I here?"
"You collapsed at the back door. What happened?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to take fresh air but I was too weak so I fainted." I lied.
"Belle, rest for now ok?" He placed a cold towel on my forehead. He used another warm towel to wiped my hands and face. My skin is tingling, his thumb is leaving a trail of delicious sensation wherever it goes.
"Hey Rex... Why are you always the one who came to my help or whenever I need someone?" He looked into my eyes.
"Because I love you." I was shocked and I turned my head away. "Belle, look at me. You might haven't read the letter yet but I really wanna tell you that I LOVE YOU and I honestly am." I stared at him.
"But we just get to know each other two days ago."
"I know. I don't know why I love you either." He walked out of the room after that.
"if I could only believe you, Rex. I will definitely love you back." I whispered and closed my eyes. I recalled from the moment I knew how Rafe treated me... I, MaryBelle will never believe in guys anymore.
... ... ... ...
~ Rex's P.O.V ~
"Hello? April... Belle won't be coming home tonight. She still have high fever."
"Ok, Then. Take good care of Belle. Thanks Rex. Bye."
I walked into the room and saw.Belle was.sleeping soundly. I laid down beside her and stared at her.
"Belle, I love you so much." I lean forward and kissed her soft lips. I hugged her to sleep that night. I really wish this moment could last FOREVER.
Then come Monday..
