Today my friend asked me to pick her up from her house. We are both in highschool and live with our parents. She has told me that they have hurt her in the past and that they were going to hurt her again. Thinking I was doing the right thing me and my mother drove to her house to try and get her out of there. She is eighteen so they can’t keep her right? Little did I know that her mother was home, and once she saw that my friend had bags packed she freaked out and called her father. After some time I was able to get my friend to the car, but not after her my mother went into the house. I was so terrified something was going to happen. Then her father pulled up and kept telling her to go into the house. I stood in front of her and he tried to grab me. I didn’t know what to do. Then he went into the house and i thought my mother might get hurt. We all went out to the car, and were in a stalemate for about and hour while she argued with her parents. They were speaking another language half of the time so I don’t know what was said, but at that point I kinda gave up. I dint know if I should shove my friend in the car and drive or leave, or what. We waited and eventually she went back into the house with them. After well, arguing with her mother, I have been told that she has tried to leave multiple times, and that this is nothing new. I’m afraid that I butted in without boing everything and I might have made everything worse for her. I also put my mother and myself into danger. Was trying to get her out of there butting into other peoples buisniness? Did I abbandon her? I feel so guilty about it all.
