Surviving a Bad Night Out and Domestic Violence Within a Week

A survivor’s story

It was a Friday evening and my friends invited me to go and watch a rugby match in Tokyo. It was costly going to Tokyo from where I stayed, yet it has been a while that I have not gone out to the city. I asked my her at the time if she would join me. She preferred to be with her friends, so I said okay but deep down I wished she would have said yes. With a change of clothes in my backpack, I took the fastest train to Tokyo.
