Encounter

On getting home after running away from the hotel Hazel called her best friend Ariel.

" Babe where did you go last night I was worried sick about you, I called but your ling wasn't going through" Ariel asked immediately she saw it was Hazel calling.

" waaa waaa waaa waaaaa waaaa waaaaa" Hazel started crying immediately she heard her best friend's voice.

" Come on Hazel you are scaring me "

"waaaaa waaaa waaaaa waaaa" Hazel kept on crying.

" Do you know what , I'm coming over to your place right this minute, don't go anywhere I'll be there in a jiffy"

Ariel came out of her apartment and quickly stopped a cab and went over to Hazel's apartment. On getting there she didn't bother calling her to come open the door for her , instead she used her spare key to open the door.

" Hazel, Hazel where are you " , Ariel called out as she moved from the sitting room to the bedroom, she still couldn't find her then she heard the sound of water coming out from the bathroom room, she heaved a sigh of relief.

" Hazel I'm here okay, are you alright" Ariel called out but got no response. Hazel was in the bathtub scrubbing hard all over her body while crying silently.

It took over an hour before she came out of the bathroom with a rub over her body.

" Hazel where were you last night , I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find you ".

Hazel looked at her with swollen red eyes and said " you won't believe what happened to me last night, last night was a disaster Ariel "

"come on, tell me what happened " Ariel started panicking cause she couldn't seem to understand what was going on .

" I was raped last night Ariel ...............waaaa waaaaa waaaa waaaaa waaaa waaaaa " Hazel cried out loud.

"WHAT!!! , you don't mean it right " Ariel shouted.

" We need to get you to the station, you need to report the case to the police immediately, to get him arrested"

" I thought about it Ariel, but I don't want anyone else to know about it, but everyone that's looking at me with pity I don't think I need that right now Ariel" .

"What are you talking about Hazel we need to report the case to get justice, or don't you think you deserve one ? " Ariel was starting to get angry, she couldn't seem to understand her best friend's way of reasoning.

" On come on Hazel, go get dressed I'm taking you to the station right this minute " . Ariel left no room for argument as she pulled Hazel over to get dressed.
