Please read all and comment. I have no showed it to her yet. [bodytext] => At the back of a pub with no parents nearby,
a group of teenagers drank and got high.
More people arrived and some they did hate,
but they never expected one of them could rape.

The night went on and we all were drunk,
one of my friends went for a walk with this hunk.
An hour passed by and we started to worry,
but it was way to late to be saying sorry.

In ran my friend with tears in her eyes,
I realised what had happened and wished I could die.
She ran into the toilet and locked the door,
she didn’t want to face the horror anymore.

My anger started rising and became out of control,
how could someone do this to such a beautiful soul.
I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife,
but someone wouldn’t let me take his life.

Two years on I sit here and write,
remembering so well that horrible night.
Wishing I could have been there to stop the crime,
nevertheless, I wasn’t and so I sit here and rhyme.

Hollie, I feel for you and your friend, what a terrible thing to happen at such a young age, I hope the guy was caught, make sure your friend goes to counseling, It won't heal everything but I think it will help, I wish you the best and hold eachother close, you will be in my prayers,

I know this was real hard on your friend & you,you really need to talk to someone about this! Boys like that just don't realize how much this hurts & really don't care! God bless both of you! Christina

I hope the person who inflicted such pain upon your friend was punished, and that your friend has been able to find a way to cope with what has happened, Its good to know that you were a friend to her when she needed you most. It was a good write, I'm sorry it was written in true emotion no one deserves that pain.
