Hi friends! I turned 18 on Friday. AIEEEEE I'M SOOOOO EXCITED :D Don't worry, ;) I'm still that kid inside you guys know and love. OK, now on with the story.

MARIANA:

I was sleeping in my bedroom when I heard my phone ringing.

Who the fuck could be calling me at midnight?!

I thought to myself, pissed off that I was woken up. I got a text from an anonymous number, saying,

"Hey, meet me at USA Hostels. I need you."

I remembered Mom telling us never to go down there because it was very sketchy. I just slipped on a pair of moccasins and put my hoodie on and I took a bus to the USA Hostels. I saw Nick and I dodged to avoid him but he was gaining on me.

"Nick?! What the hell are you doing?!"

He started crying.

"I… need… you. Please, please, I… need… you."

"Sorry, Nick. You heard the restraining order. You need to get the fuck away from me now."

"I… need… you. I… need… you… now. Please, please, please."

"Sorry, Nick, I need to go."

It all sunk into to me. Nick was the one sending me that text message begging for me.

"Did you send me a text at midnight saying you needed me?"

"Yes. Because…. I… do… need… you."

I tried to run into the hotel but Nick was chasing me. He eventually was pinning me to the bed and he started undressing me. I exclaimed,

"Nick, what the holy fucking hell are you doing?"

"I… need… you,"

Nick kept saying.

"I need you is not an answer!"

Was Nick… oh, no. No. No. No. He wasn't.

He wasn't raping me. Yes, yes, he was raping me. He was undressing and he was lowering me down and kissing me and touching me in my breasts and my vagina. We were having sex. He had raped me.

I just ran home and threw myself on my bed, crying myself to death. On Monday, I went to school and I was just sitting outside of the girls' bathroom, weaping profusely. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was a male voice asking,

"Hey, are you OK?"

I looked up to see Mat Tan, my boyfriend who I was currently on a break with.

"It's about Nick. I filed a restraining order against him, and he, he…"

"What did he do?"

I sobbed,

"He raped me."

"I'm so sorry. I'm right here."

He hugged me and I felt so safe in his bear hug arms.

"You gotta tell your moms."

I said,

"I know. It just hurts so much."

"If you need anything, just tell me, OK."

I wiped my eyes and clutched onto Mat. He was right, I did need to tell Moms. Mama had a meeting to go today, and Mom was off from work. I just saw Mom sitting on the couch.

Sorry the chapter was so short! I promise the next one will be longer, I just wanted to set a suspenseful tone for the end of this chapter. Hope you enjoyed!
