So tonight i hung out with my friend because she was going through a rough time. We ended up going to a bar to get some pizza because that was the only place that was open. I was not drinking because I was the DD and also I am underage so I wasn’t even gonna try. but when my friend went to the bathroom she met a lady. I wasn’t really aware of it but then she walked out of the bathroom with her and she sat beside us. A man came up to sit beside her and he was very quiet. The lady continued to give her relationship advice and the entire time I stayed quiet because I got really bad vibes from her. This lady was in her 30’s or 40’s. We are both 19. The man then asks to buy us some shots and I immediately shook my head no to the bartender. When he asked for an ID I just said no. I wasn’t planning on drinking. She then tells him to go to the gas station to get her some cigs. And he then left. Thirty minutes go by and out of nowhere my friend says we are all going to a gas station together and my friend followed the lady all happily and obviously I didn’t want my friend to go alone. I tried giving her every cue that it was a bad idea but she was not catching on (she was very drunk). I was terrified. So as we walk out I was trying to think of every reason to go back to the bar. But my mind went blank. There was not a single thought in my mind. I was scared to say it wasn’t a good idea bc my friend was drunk and I was so scared that if I disagreed she would get mad and go anyways. I didn’t want her to be alone. The lady started asking if we did drugs and when i said no she seemed like she was trying to make me feel bad. Like I didn’t care. And then she would say that we were completely safe and I could tell she was trying to make us comfortables So we start walking and the lady takes a quick turn into a building and it was so quick and I realize that we are in a hotel. I knew we were fucked. I looked at my friend and said I have to use the bathroom. And we went into a side room beside the lobby and left out the side and ran as fast as we could. We got into my car and drove back down to the restaurant (which was legit right beside the hotel) and my friend went to go tell the bartender that he needs to watch out for those two people. I sat back in the car. I was completely sober for all of it. I was terrified and horrified of everything and I could not stop shaking because I knew it was bad from the beginning. Why couldn’t I speak up and say I wasn’t comfortable from the beginning. But as I was waiting in the car I see the couple leave the hotel. That man was waiting for us. He was supposed to be at the gas station. Is it normal to be a little traumatized from that? Like I still can’t stop shaking. I should have stopped it sooner and I do take it as a learning experience but I am absolutely terrified. I know if we went up there nothing good would have happened.

Homework
I don't have the motivation to do my homework. That's literally it. I feel like trash, we're hitting the end of the school year yet I can't get my F up to a D o...
You are young and so it is normal for you to be scared and a little traumatized. Even though your friend was drunk she still should have had the sense to not go with older strangers. No matter people's ages there is always stranger danger. You both did the right thing by running away from them.
One time a few years ago I drunk so much that I fell over in the bathroom and broke my wrist. My son was staying with me at the time so he came with me to the hospital. When we were leaving we were about to call a cab to go home when a girl approached us and asked us if we would like a lift. She asked us where we were going and we said to a chemist that is open as it was late. She said she would drive us to one in the next suburb. We followed her to her car and were about to get in when we saw two dodgy looking men already in the car. I turned to my son and said we shouldn't go with them but he said it will be alright and he got in so I gingerly got into the car as well. My son had his laptop with him. This girl said her name was Gypsy and she took us to the chemist where I got a prescription made up. Gypsy said she would wait for us and give us a lift home. I didn't believe her because she and the two men were complete strangers to us and I thought they must want something more. While we were in the chemist waiting one of the men from the car came in, spoke to the person behind the counter and watched us then went out. I told my son I was getting a train back and to tell them which he did and he and I returned on the train. But when we got off the train we saw a car that looked like this Gypsy's car alongside the railway so I got scared then as I thought they had followed the train and were following us. We kept walking in the direction of home and the car went in another direction. We arrived home safely and my son said that they were after his laptop. After that I saw Gypsy around the shops a few times and she and I were friendly to each other and she would ask how my son is. Then she disappeared and I haven't seen her for a long while now. I will never accept a lift from a stranger again. Anything could have happened to us.
ReplyYour reaction is completely normal and I think, it's good that you had your doubts going with that person. Trust your guts/instincts, better be paranoid than regret it in those type of situation(s).
As for your friend, I'm rather thankful that you helped her despite being on the verge of panic yourself. You kept a rational head through that experience. Try not to feel bad that you didn't stop it from the start, learn from this experience and hope that you never encounter another like this.
I pray that you guys won't encounter such experience again.
ReplyJesus. Yes, it's entirely normal to be a little traumatized from that, that could have gone incredibly badly for both of you. Maybe talk to your friend about being more careful too?
