"OK, OK, let me get you some water, do you want me to call 911? Who was he? What did he look like?" Jessica was frantic, running around, terrified for me. 712Please respect copyright.PENANA8kdR7ieLxi
She was more shaken up than I was. Sure, an old bum who was probably homeless had almost tried to rape me. It's horrifying I know. But all I could think about was that other guy. 712Please respect copyright.PENANA7m4pBarxsk
"It's okay, I'm okay Jess. Settle down. Nothing happened really." I was sitting on the couch padding the cushion like you would for a dog to come sit down. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAUubED6iXgi
"Nothing happened! Are you crazy? You were almost raped and killed! On campus, too!" She started to panic, talking a million miles an hour. "Oh my god, I can't be here. I don't feel safe anymore. What if somebody tries to rape me? I'm sure they will since they got you—"712Please respect copyright.PENANAhc2G9XZuWY
"Hey!" Still a bitch after I was the one who was attacked. She's is more deluded than I am. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAKv9T2atkdP
"I'm sorry, I'm just totally, like, freakin' out right now."712Please respect copyright.PENANA45O8VxFjWi
There it is. Yes, she was freaking out and it was starting to freak me out to be honest. But she needed the hospital more than I did. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAcv7OKudzDP
She sat down after she had been pacing back and forth for twenty minutes. Calming down with each breath. She wasn't at all concerned about the guy that saved me. But he's all I wanted to talk about. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAjgxYihQYqD
Who was he? Was he one of those taggers? Or just some pedestrian? Whoever he was, I was going to find him. I needed to at least thank him for practically saving my life. 712Please respect copyright.PENANA7S7hOAV7wS

I had woken up the next morning, threw some pants and a shirt on then left for the campus security office. I was on a mission. 712Please respect copyright.PENANA3hA0XfzV29
While in the office they were surprised I had come in with all the answers to their big campus mystery. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAR9314mnCLm
They had found the old man later that night. He was homeless and was in the ICU as I spoke to them. Apparently, he claimed that some punk kid in black had jumped him and he was just asking me for change. Such bullshit I told them. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAMAJROQ1NcN
Most of the eight officers in the room were shocked but two of them were red-faced and angry. Angry for being duped by this old, disgusting man and embarrassed for actually feeling sorry for him. I told them they should leave the mystery man who saved my life alone. But they told me they had to and would take care of it. They then asked if I was okay and if I needed to see a nurse or doctor. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAvlqEhDomCt
I was fine except for a few bumps on my head from where he punched me. I'm lucky he was a bit frail, otherwise I'd probably have to see a doctor in case I had a concussion. But I felt fine.712Please respect copyright.PENANAHKIi74yrHk
The officers also had called over a counselor for me to talk to. I told her I didn't need any help, and after a long pause, she offered to give me the day off, giving me a three-day weekend since it was Friday. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAaJS1tgbmZ9
Of course, I accepted. I now had all day to find this mystery person. I remember the baggy black clothes and long dark hair. I had barely seen his face in the dying, orange street lamp, but I remember his facial structure. His face was sculpted to where there was no fat. He kinda resembled Kurt Cobain from the 90s band Nirvana. I remember he sounded like him. But he had dark hair instead of dirty blonde. 712Please respect copyright.PENANA8MFnG7wzr2
I was going to find him.
