He rescued me from being raped. How do I repay him?

Question

This past weekend I was at a party with some friends. There were at least 50 people at this house and everyone, including myself, was drinking. I had 2 beers but I felt drunk, it was weird. (I later realized that the guy who brought me my beer, who I trusted and thought was a friend, slipped me a roofie) at any rate I remember going to the bathroom to puke but the next thing I remember is waking up in a bed that was not mine, in a house that I did not recognize. I got out of the bed,  I still had my clothes on, which was a relief considering I didn't know where I was but my neck hurt like hell. when I walked out of the bedroom I see a guy sleeping on a couch in the living area of this place. he must have sensed that someone was staring at him because he woke up and got up and came toward me. I told him not to touch me and he back up and told me that he wasn't going to hurt me. I also noticed he had a black eye. I began crying and asking what the hell is going on and where I am and all that. he then explains what happened. AT the party as I was walking to the bathroom a guy (my 'friend') approached me and redirected me to a bedroom of that house. The guy whose house I woke up in (which is not the same house as the party) over heard me tell a friend that I felt really sick and dizzy and saw this and knowing I was inebriated he walked over to the room which my 'friend' had taken me. apparantly the moron friend who was attempting to rape me forgot to lock the door so the other guy walked right in. By the time he got into the room my 'friend' had my shirt off and my jeans unbuttoned. this resulted in an altercation between the two and Billy (who I will call the guy who rescued me) then took me, still passed out to his house and put me in his bed to sleep off the roofie that my 'friend' put in to my drink. the 'friend' confessed to billy that he did indeed put a roofie in my drink and billy was able to obtain and flush the remaining roofies that 'friend' had on him. I am certain that I was not raped. I now feel guilty that billy got involved. he didn't have to but he saved me from being raped and I don't know how to thank him. what should I do? I owe him everything. not many men would do something like that especially for a girl that they did not know.

Step 1. Maybe a little paranoid, but I trust no one...

Go get a rape kit, you blacked out so you have 0 idea if ( the guy who saved you, I'll call him Archangel) took advantage or not, because you were blacked out.

Step 2. Report to the authorities IMMEDIATELY what happened. (the guy who nearly raped you, we'll call him Satan) who tried to rape you; his name, what he looks like, and what Archangel told you what occurred; here's what could happen if you do so...

1. Satan will get in serious sh*t for attempted rape. 2. He'll probably get thrown in jail. 3. Archangel can file assault charges (for being punched in the face).

Thank Archangel by making a dinner or something, ask him what his favorite food is, and attempt as best you can to make it at home. I dunno, I think it's appropriate, either way it's a nice gesture. If he insists that it's too much, force the dinner anyway (he'll appreciate it either way).

There's actually a LOT of guys out there who would do the same thing that Archangel did for you, I know plenty. I have a friend who actually beat the sh*t out of a guy because the guy was beating on his girl in public and no one was doing anything. My buddy ran over, tackled the guy, and had me call the cops while keeping the bloody and battered girlfriend away from the scene.

There's lots of Archangels out there, but there's also a lot of people like Satan.

PRESS CHARGES AGAINST YOUR SO CALLED FRIEND.

I can't emphasize that enough. If he tried to do it to you, he'll try it again on someone else.

Save someone else from having to go through the same thing, only this time, there may be no Archangel around to save her.

wow that's a good thing he did but I don't know if there is a way to repay something like that? maybe give him money or something but I don't know if that would be appropriate? well 1 thing I can think of is tell everyone you know what happened, as a result the guy who tried to rape you will be publicly shamed and the guy who saved you will be known as a hero.

If he is on the up and up and truly did save you, still get police involved and get a kit done.  But if everything is ok, I suggest making him a good dinner and properly thanking him.

Wow! There aren't many people who would do something like that. Thank him and make sure to be friends. Hang out with him some, maybe it will come to something better.

Just be sure to say, 'thank you, for saving me."  Offer to buy him lunch sometime.

Just say thanks. It may seem so simple and not enough, but if that was me. Thank you would be the best thing for me to hear. Keep in contact with him too.
