Jane's POV
It was my typical Friday night, as I was uploading another animated lecture until my phone buzz. It showed Carol's ID. Suddenly I was worried as it was very uncommon for her to call me on weekends and especially on Friday night.
I received the call. "Hello," I answered.
"Hey, I am rock. You don't know me but I am standing in front of Hellies, and your friend is quite drunk and wasted right now. I was hoping if you can take her from here. She is a mess of vomit." A man's voice said on the phone.
"Oh, God! Hey, wait, Hellies?" I found myself saying.
"It's a club, quite famous tbh. Can you please hurry?" He replied annoyed.
"OK, I am on my way. Just wait for 25 mins." I replied.
After that, I jumped out of my bed. I was wearing my blue comfy trousers and a white t-shirt. It was cold outside so I just grab my hoodie and without wasting a minute I was out of my apartment. I hailed a cab and just said to Hellies and the driver didn't ask for direction.
After in more 20 minutes I was in front of Hellies but could not find Carol outside. I tried her number once but no one was picking up. There was a line outside the club. Almost 15 people were in the queue. I went to the bouncer outside the club and show him Carol's picture and tried to inquire him about her. He knew Carol and told me that she just went inside again.
I shook my head in disbelief. I tried her number again. But no one picked up. Now I was panicking. I tried to convince the bouncer if I could just go inside to look for my friend. "I will be quick. I swear." I said.
He looked grim for a moment but then let me go inside. Getting inside I was welcomed by very loud music, sweaty people were almost everywhere grinding their bodies together. It was my third time getting into some club. Before that, it was Paul who took me to a club twice after our marriage. Those clubs in Wisconsin are really no match to these clubs. I thought to myself. It was so big that it was almost impossible for me to find anyone here.
I tried to walk and look everywhere while some drunk people were bumping into me. I tried to make my way carefully. Everyone around me was so wasted. 10 minutes passed and Carol was nowhere to be found. I walked towards the bar where it was less crowdy and again called her. This time someone picked up but the music was deafening and I could not make anything out of it. Then the phone got disconnected. I tried to look everywhere around me while standing near the bar. It was when I received a message.
"Hey Jane, Carol is drunk and knocked out right now. I am taking her home.
Jason
Xoxo"
Jason was Carol's boyfriend. I sighed in relief. Then who the hell was rock? I thought.
I replied to him.
"I gotta call from someone named Rock. He told me to pick her up from Hellies."
After a few minutes, I gotta a reply.
"Same here hon, I take her from that guy rock. You don't need to come. Sorry to bother you."
I sighed in relief and start walking towards the exit. I wanted to tell him that I was here but then I thought I will just take a cab. I was typing OK to Jason when a hand groped my ass so hard, turned me around and my head hit a hard chest.
