A guy jumped out of the bushes and blind-sided my friend and me when I was giving her a ride to the bar on my bike many many many moons ago.
We crashed to the ground and got bloodied elbows and chins.
The assailant wasn’t a stranger. It was someone we knew.
We were sure that when we told our friends what happened, they would be furious.
They weren’t. It was easier for them to brush us off because they were also friends with our attacker.
Our friends saying nothing hurt more than the actual attack.
Nobody cared. We felt shocked and alone.
We had no other choice but to take revenge into our own hands.
We peed into his beer bong and quietly chuckled as we watched him drink from it that night.
Sometimes people will do crazy things when their cries are unheard and they want justice.
