Chloe'
" Hel-Hello? " I spoke into the phone as I sat up in my bed. I didn't even check the caller id I just answered. It was 2:27 AM.
" Chloeeee " She cried. And I knew that voice from anywhere, Kylie.
" What's the problem? Are you aware of what time it is? " I asked not having a clue too what was going on.
" Can you please come get me? " She sobbed into the phone.
" Kylie, calm down. Where are you? "
" I'm outside of the plaza, on 95th street. "
" Be there in a few. " I hung up the phone and hurriedly got out of the bed almost falling. I threw on a tank top, sweats and my ugg boots. I ran to the front room to retrieve the keys.

" OH My GOD! " I screamed hopping out of my mama's car which She didn't even know I had and leaving the door open. I ran over to where Kylie was sitting. Her once straight her was a mess all over her head. One eye closed shut the other on it's way, a bloody mouth and nose and her clothes were hanging off of her.
" Kylie... " I began. I almost cried seeing my best friend like this .
" Who did this to you? "
She looked at me then back down at her feet. " Aaron. " She finally said.
My eyes grew wide and I couldn't believe the name She just said. She began crying again and I rubbed her back comforting her .
" You need to get to a hospital let's go. " I grabbed her arm and led her to the car. We got in safely and I drove off. " Thanks for coming to get me. No one was picking up. "
" That's what best friends are for . Now you mind telling me what happened? "
" He raped and beat me. "
We were almost in a car accident they way I put my foot on the brake. I was so appalled, it was unbelievable. Kylie, held her head down. I told her she shouldn't have been messing with a grown man anyway. But I didn't want to say anything like " I knew this was gonna happen. "
" I'm so sorry Kylie. " I whined. She starting crying once again and I could understand why. " How did you get away without him holding you hostage? " I asked her while driving more calmly now.
" He fell asleep, thank God. " She replied sniffling as a pulled up to the ER. We got out and I rushed her to the front desk. " Nurse, nurse! " the middle aged woman called out when she saw Kylie's face. A nurse came running out and she led Ky somewhere beyond the double doors. The woman made me sign some information papers as I sat in the waiting room.
I didn't know whether to call her parents and lie saying " someone followed her when she was coming to my house , they raped and beat her in the alley. " Or tell the truth, so Aaron's nasty ass could be locked up. But I knew if I knew if I told the truth Kylie would be in big trouble. Tell a pretty lie or the ugly truth ? I was stuck so I wanted to know what Kylie thought I should say. I got up and walked to the front desk. " Um, excuse me? " I said politely. The woman looked up from the desktop computer " Yes? "
" Is it okay if I go to check on my friend? "
" Sweetie I'm sorry no, visiting hours are long over. "
" But she's going through a tough time right now. I need to be there for her ." I said reasoning with her.
She gave me her full attention now. " Go straight down and make a left, room 107."
I smiled. " Thank you so much. " I said walking away. I made it to the room and slowly pushed the door open to see Ky just laying there . " Do you feel better now?"
