We went into the club and it was booming with music. I looked at Betty and she had a worried look on her face. "Calm down b," I told her patting her shoulder than taking her arm into mine, "let loose." I shook my shoulders a little and she immediately calmed down.
"Okay." She said to me with a smile.
"That's it." I said excited "I'm gonna go get us some drinks."

"Alright I'll be over there." She pointed to a corner that had booths and she walked over.

I went to the bar and asked the bartender for two cocktails. He walked to get our drinks and I looked towards Betty who had a man standing in front of her but she shood him away. I chuckled a little because she still wasn't letting loose.

"What you laughing about." I tall dark haired man came up to me and he was really handsome.
" Oh nothing just my friend, she doesn't really like things like this." I told him and I felt myself blush and I sure he saw because he grinned at me.
"I'm Nick." He said with a smile shaking my hand.
"Veronica." I didn't want to tell him my full name just in case he was the gold digger type.
"Can I get you a drink?" He asked pointing toward the bar
"Uh, my friend she-" he cut me off.
"I could get her one too."

"Here you go ma'am." The bartender gave me the cocktails and I looked at Nick who was looking around the club.

"I'll be right back" I told nick with a smile. I grabbed the cocktails and walked a little fast towards Betty.

"Hey v"
"Hey b," I told her with a grin. " Do you get think you'll be okay on the your own?" I asked her and she looked at me startled. " that guy over there," I pointed at Nick, " he asked to get me a drink." She still had the same look on her face, " he said he would get you one too."
"No that's okay Ron, go have fun." She told me with a smile.
" okay thanks b." I gave her a hug and went back to Nick.

It had been about 45 minutes since I've seen Veronica and I had been dancing all night, alone and I thought it was time to have fun with her. I decided I'd go looking for her

. It had been 10 minutes. I checked the bar the dance floor the booths and there was one last place. No! There was no way Veronica would do such thing, but maybe she got to loaded. The last place was the 'private rooms'. I didn't want to go and see something I'd regret but I was terrified so I just walked in.

The first few rooms were empty and then I heard. Someone groan. I got super discussed by it. Then I heard them talking softly.
"Come on Ron."
"No, please stop." Someone was i there getting harassed and it was my bEsTfRiEnD. I got dizzy but then I slapped myself and realized I need to help my bestfried. I had no pepper spray but I had Veronica's very strong lavender perfume. I took it out my purse and opened the curtains.

"Get off her!" I yelled and turned him around spraying the perfume in his eye pushing him in the next room.
"Ahh fück!!" He yelled rubbing his eyes.

Veronica was laying there with tears in her eyes and her dress half way down I quickly grabbed her stuff then zipped her dress up. I put her hand around my shoulder and walked as fast as I could.

"Help please someone help!" I was screaming and yelling but no one was helping me.
"V what happened?" I asked her pushing through the crownd.
"I-I I do-don't know bet-Betty." She was struggling with her words and I came to the realization that she was drugged.
"Please please stop fücking dancing and someone help!" I yelled with tears in my eyes I was getting scared and weak and I had the thought that I couldn't save my bestfriend. She slipped a little and as I tried to grip her again, still walking almost, dragging her across the floor asking for help.  I bumped into some one, and I got their attention.
"Please can you help me?" I asked him crying looking at Veronica .
