Seeing someone you care about get hurt, is incredibly painful.

This is a pretty heavy journal entry, unlike the fluffy happy ones ive posted before, so, yeah. I'm actually considering whether or not I should post this.
If you read all this, I'll really appreciate it. People need to know this shit happens.

So a couple nights ago my friend Jenna* was invited to her friend's birthday party. Her friend, Krista's* house was about 40 minutes away, so I, along with two others, Jake* and Chase*, roadtripped to Krista's birthday party at about 10 at night. Jake's one of my closest guyfriends, pretty cool guy.

So after about an hour of following a crappy GPS we finally get to the house, and there are about 20+ cars all parked along a big lawn in the middle of nowhere.

Jenna calls her friend Krista and we meet up with her, getting to know the layout of the party and whatnot. In the main room a couple dozen kids were playing beer pong. Not being into that, we left to sit by a pretty empty bonfire, warming up and talking. A couple of kids from the area come up by us, and ask a couple questions, they seemed a little bit cold towards us just from the start. One of the questions was "what school do you go to?"

We all were attending, or had attended the same school, which is unfortunately known as a "rich kids school," a snobby, basically stuck up school because we have things like two campuses, a pool, a rock wall, and are number one for sports basically.

Bad decision, we tell them what school we're from. Immediately the three kids there start badtalking us, asking how we found out about "their kind of" party. Soon more kids, all guys, come up adding to about 7 different guys, mostly semi-drunk. They start seriously bashing us, words getting worse, so I along with Jenna walk on the other side of the bonfire. They start asking what type of car we came in, and after a while one of the other guys comes up to Jake and shoves him. He shoves him back, and the other guy flat out tackles him to the ground, punching him the in the head multiple times.

The other guys not associated with us don't do anything, in fact, 4 of them go up to Jake and start kicking him the stomach, basically joining up and mobbing him. Chase, the other guy with us, goes up to the mob trying to break up the fight, only to get pummeled to the ground, being kicked viciously in the shins. He wasn't fighting back, he couldn't.

Jenna and I run up to the group trying to push people away, but the guys continued to beat our friends, 5 against 2. We managed to eventually break up the fight, as the guys from the party were had good enough standards to not hit a girl.

My guyfriend got up on his knees and apologized. He said he was sorry for whatever he did, he doesn't want to fight, and we'll leave. The entire time he did not once insult the other guys, at all. By now there were about 9 guys encircling us, talking all gangster to us like they were so tough, saying things like "you don't f*** with us, don't f*** with us man, we got soldiers."

One of the guys who attacked Jake tried to approach him again, but I was pissed as hell and stood in front of him, demanding him to stay the hell away from him, multiple times.

As we began to leave to go out the door, all of the mob was escorting us. As Jenna and Chase go up the doorstep to leave I hear a guy say "should I do it now?" and another guy nod, winding up and punching Chase in the back of the head, hitting Jenna into the glass. Everyone at the party was staring, no one did anything to help. At all. They were asking questions like "what happened? Why is everyone leaving?" and one guy, heard what was going on, saying "that was a little unecessary."

We book it out of there, as we run to our car 5 guys parked in their car report "are the walking? yeaaah they're walking."

I was shocked, on the verge of crying, just thinking about how bad it could have gotten if I and my other girlfriend weren't there.

The scariest thing is how everything that night seemed like it was planned. The entire mob, the punch to Chase's head, and everything. The hardest part was thinking about how Jake was apologizing, his voice shakey.

Human potential is scary.
