Trigger Warning
I had a class that ends at 9 p.m., but my friend wanted to leave a little early, so she asked me to walk her to her car -that was parked a few blocks away- because she felt unsafe to go alone .
As we were walking down the dark desert street a group of men showed up, they started screaming obscenities. “I wanna f**k you so hard” “I’m gonna rape you” “Hey don’t go” we were really terrified so we started running .
One of the men followed us …
I can’t tell you how fast we ran that night to reach the car and lock ourselves . I felt very scared and very disgusted. As soon as my friend left I started crying.
I usually stand up to my harassers, I either give them the finger, tell them to shut up or scream at them. But that time I felt really unsafe, and I knew the best thing I could have done was to run.
That night, I had nightmares.
