“Hey Aiden, what’s up with those two?”  Kasey asked, downing the last of her beer.  “They’re just friends but I mean come on…”  He replied, nodding in their direction before he continued.  “It’s obvious they’d be more if they weren’t so hard headed.”

Kasey laughed and stood, motioning to her empty bottle.  Aiden nodded and with that, she left the booth and headed towards the bar.

She placed the empty bottle on the counter, taking a seat across from the bartender.  ‘One more.’  She motioned with her index.  He quickly handed her another with a smile and moved along to another patron.  Kasey instinctively shuddered when she heard Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend blare throughout the club.  She fiddled contently with the sleeve of her large jean jacket, taking in the atmosphere around her.

Just then a sound from behind peaked her curiosity.  “Get off of me you creep!”  A woman hissed.  Kasey glanced over her shoulder as her eyes narrowed.  A large man was pushing himself up against a young woman who was pinned against the wall next to the washrooms.  She struggled, trying to wriggle her way from under his grasp.  KC shook her head and stood from her stool.  She took a final swig from her bottle and placed it on the counter before making her way towards the couple.

“Please, just get off me! God!”  She whimpered as he began to get rough.  The music continued to play, no one giving them a second glance.  “C’mon baby, let’s get outta here.”  He gripped her wrists tightly with one hand, his knuckles were white.  He forced her through the entrance of the building and around the corner into a close by alley as Kasey followed.

‘Here we go again. Why can’t you just mind your own business Kasey, turn around and go back to the club. She got herself into this mess, you can’t do anything about this.’  Kasey dismissed those thoughts knowing she could and had to do something.  As she rounded the corner into the alley the brute had the woman by the throat and with his free hand, ran a finger up and down her side.  “You know you want it.”  With that said he viciously ripped her shirt off and shoved her hard into the wall.  He began groping and kissing her as she desperately tried to fight back.
