Past Tense (editing)

Two//Douglas

It was almost midnight. Elaine was meeting Douglas.

Jacqueline didn't want to go. But leaving Elaine alone with a stranger was not a good idea.

This whole thing was a horrible idea, but if Jacque didn't go with her, Elaine would go all alone.

Don thought that Jacque going was a good idea.

Tim on the other hand said that if they weren't at the hotel by 4am he was going to call the cops.

What scared Jacqueline the most is that they were not going clubbing this time.

They actually didn't even know where they were going. Douglas just texted Elaine an adress and that was kind of creepy.

It could be in the middle of nowhere, and that was scary in so many different ways.

"Are you sure about this?" Tim asked worried.

"We're sure. I already told you, Douglas is a very nice guy." Elaine said, for the third time today.

"Whatever, El. Fine. But you J?" Don looked at me.

"I don't really want to go. But leaving Elaine alone is a awful idea. And as a matter of fact, he can't kidnap two girls at once. So one of us, is going to run and call the police before anything happens." Jacqueline explained quickly.

Elaine sighed "He won't kidnap any girls! Get over it."

"Whatever." Tim, Don and Jacque said in unison.

That was it, they took a taxi and asked the driver to take them to the adress Douglas had sent Elaine. When they arrived at the place, the girls walked out of the car after paying the guy.

As Jacqueline scanned the place around her, she realized they were outside a restaurant. Okay a lot of people. That was a good sign.

"See? It's a restaurant! Nothing bad will happen!" Elaine said, looking excited.

"Fine, you were right, I admit. I'll text Don and Tim not to worry." Jacque sighed, then took her phone out and texted both of them. "Are we going inside?"

"I suppose." they walked inside and saw that there were many people in the restaurant. A lot of them had just arrived.

That was what made Jacqueline think about this twice, because it was almost 1am.

"What are two beautiful young ladies like you doing here all alone?" a guy asked them. He was about the same age as the girls, but he was completely wasted and smelled like smoke and alcohol.

"They're with me, Jack you can go." a voice said behind them. Jacqueline and Elaine turned around and saw Douglas. "Elaine you didn't tell me you were bringing your beautiful friend with you tonight." he commented.

"Yeah, sorry I just forgot to text you." she apologized.

"It's fine! Come on, let's sit!Would you like some wine, a beer?" he offered.

"I could go with some wine."

"Me too."

"Okay then."

They talked for hours and he seemed a really nice guy after all.

Jacqueline couldn't wait to tell Don and Tim how wrong they were.

"Elaine, I wanted to tell you something." said Douglas and caught Jacque's attention.

"Okay."

"Tomorrow I'm leaving, I'm going back to my home. I'm not from here." he said and looked down.
