Make it Right

C H A P T E R 9

1 hour. That's how long Risa's been sitting at the counter bar, waiting for Maeve to come back. She was starting to worry for her friend and the bad memories she had back then isn't helping at all.

Risa almost mumble all the prayers written on the bible just to asked the above to keep her best friend safe. 'Cause who the hell dances for one hour without a rest, right?

At this time, Risa had already bombarded Maeve with text messages  just to confirm if she's okay and that everything's fine. When Maeve didn't bother to reply, Risa decided to go at the comfort room and call her best friend, hoping she'll not hear her best friend's moan this time.

"What!?" the other line answered. And though Risa was happy to not hear a moan from the girl, she was still hurt by how her best friend just answered the phone with an annoyed tone.

"What do you want, Risa!?" Maeve impatiently asked which brought Risa back to reality.

"Uh-uhm. Just wanna ask where you are and if you're okay."

For a second there was silence then mumbling of curses before Maeve manage to answer her.

"I'm at Avery's crib. We're hanging out with the girls" Maeve said with not so much care.

"Avery's crib? So you're not at the bar anymore?" Risa asked, trying her best to hide the panic in her voice. 'cause who is she fooling? The trauma is still there and knowing that she's all alone at a bar just doubled her anxiety.

"Yes. I'm sure you can just catch a cab there. I missed the girls, we haven't seen each other for a week"

"Yeah right and we didn't see each other for three weeks and I didn't receive a single I missed you from you" is what Risa want to say and again for the nth time today, she decided to swallow it all up and immediately wipe the lone tear that manage to escape from her eyes.

"Sure. You guys enjoy then" Risa dropped the call before Maeve could.

Another worst decision that Risa had probably made today was to go out of the restroom. But it's not like she could locked herself there and wait for the bar to close down, she needs to go home. But oh boy who knows it will be a total hell for her.

"Hey, babe. Want to have a drink?" a bald man asked, handing her a drink. She could be polite and accept the drink just so she could walk past the bald man but she've learned her lesson. Who knows if the drink might have been spiked.

"Thank you, but uhm, no, I don't drink" Risa said, truthfully. Ever since the incedent few years ago, Risa never ever held a single alcohol. Well, earlier was an excemption. Maeve gave it to her, after all.

"Oh come on. Why are you even here if you're not gonna drink" the bald man complained.

"Just one sip and you're free to go" he added.

"Sorry, but I don't really drink and I'm just about to go home so please just let me get through" Risa almost beg, but the bald man doesn't even seem to hear her.

"I said just one drink, why are you so hard to get!" the guy raised his voice, grabbing Risa's wrist painfully.

And that's it! All the memories flashes back, making Risa lost control of herself and all she know is it was getting harder to breath. She almost collapsed when all of a sudden. The bald man was already lying on the ground.

"For fuck sake! If a girl doesn't want to drink, don't fucking force her to drink, you deepshit!" The man's voice ring through Risa ears. The voice was familiar, all too familiar. She wants to see the man who just saved her, but then her eyes get blury. She didn't even notice she's already bawling her eyes out.
