"I don't understand… How did he?"

The atmosphere was tensed, and the four of them, in their different locations, were caught up in it. 

"I can't keep it to myself anymore. It was midnight. We were both drunk, and before I knew it...he was touching me."

"Touching you? Can you be more clear about this? It seems serious."

"Because it is. I tried to fight against him, but he was too strong, and I was scared...shocked...I didn't expect him to do that. He... he kissed me. It was forced, and he didn't just stop there, he was going to undress me, but luckily he stopped before he'd lose complete control of himself."

"You don't need to say anymore. I understand. You were scared…"

"I wasn't just scared precious Lijuan! I was terrified… What if he'd done it?"

"Calm down. Don't cry... please" Lijuan could tell from her friend's voice that she was hurting, and it got him upset too.
