Strange Apartment

Not one of my best works.

My eyes are burning as I awake; I am in cold, plain room, white sheets, down comforter. Where am I?? I never should have trusted Lily to get me home safely from that party! She swore she’d be my driver; since when does she ever keep her word?

I hear the click of a door being unlocked, oh no! A man comes in, his eyes never leaving mine. I try to talk; I try to ask him where I am, who he is, and a million different questions that are running through my mind. Nothing comes out. He has a large gash down the side of his face. Suddenly he starts speaking to me,

“You know where I got this cut?” I shake my head; I don’t know anything at the moment. “I got it from you! Now it’s your turn.” He starts taking his pants off; he rips at his clothes and then throws himself at me. I’m only 17; this is not going to happen to me! I jump from the bed, finally free of my dazed state. I run to the door and he charges after me. He’s yelling words but I can’t hear them. I am in survival mode. I grab from the door knob and yank the flimsy wood open. It leads to an apartment building or hotel hallway. I do the only thing I can think of; I start screaming as loud as I possibly can. The hallway is instantly full of people. They’re yelling all sorts of things at me; one man is calling the police while 3 others are trying to control my attacker. Some ladies are helping me up, babbling on and on at me. I’m not listening though; all that is going through my mind is the unimaginable possibility that I was almost just raped.
