The next day, he came to her dorm, and begged her to come back, which she did not. Later that night, he went to the bar where she was at, and grabbed her and started screaming at her. Lucky, her friends pulled her away, and the bouncers threw him out and called the cops on him, who arrested him.
Anyways, my friend seems much happier, although understandably a bit shaken up after what happened last night. I hope that people who are unfortunately in these situations can learn from this.

Perhaps due to my mothers professional back ground, or from watching too many cop shows et al, as I was reading this I was seeing in my minds eye something else. Him showing up, late at night, and her just disappearing.
While I am glad that it turned out the way it did, I am not sure that the odds were in favor.
