So a few days before we left Cuenca we went for a night out clubbing with Claudia and Jasmine, now the night started off great, we got to the club OK and had some drinks and danced, but after about two hours I was at the bar and Claudia came up to me saying that there was something wrong, and that she felt funny and could not see me properly! And that she was really scared, I asked her what had she drunk and she said just the two drinks we had bought and a coke that a guy gave her, I asked her if she knew this guy and she said that she knew him from college,i was concerned that the drink she had been given had been drugged so I sat her down and made her drink some water and told here it would be OK, I'd make sure that she would be OK, then within a few minuets here whole attitude changed from being scared and in a panic to being really happy and wanting to dance. I told here that she needed to drink a lot more water but all she wanted to do was dance,. So the night went on everyone was having a good night and I kept my eye on Claudia just to make sure she was OK and not with anyone else but with us. Once the night came to a end we were waiting to leave and just like before Claudia's attitude changed, but this time she was in a right state she did not recognise anyone not even Jasmine, she did not know were she was or when it was, once we got her out side jasmine tried to talk to her but she kept screaming “get away” who are you, hunched against the wall, I tried to talk to her to tell her I was going to take her home but it was then she said that she could not see anyone and she would not listen to anyone, I then decided it was best to move her away from the club, were it was not so noisy and were she might be able to hear better and calm down but as we tried to get her to walk she was just pushing everyone away. In the end I just picked her up and put her over my shoulder and walked her about 50 yards down the road where it was not so noisy, when I put her she just crouched in to a little ball so I got on my knees and started talking to her in a really low soft voice, I just kept saying “Claudia its martin can you hear me, your gonna be OK, I'm gonna look after you” but she was not responding, but after a few minuets she started to reply, I tried to explain to her that I was going to put her in a taxi, but she was still very scared and not really understanding me very well, in the end I gained her trust and we got in the the taxi and got her home, in the taxi she fell asleep and I had to carry her into the house where I sat her on the sofa and made here drink some more water in the end she fell asleep again, so we put her in to her bed to sleep it of, the next day she did not wake till about 8pm and she explained that she felt like shit!!, so also explained that she could not really remember a thing, I asked her if she remembered being outside the club, she said she could not remember anything except for one thing, all she could remember was hearing me telling her that I would look after her and that she would be OK.
