I know what you are thinking yay! Two updates in one day but that is not this. I have gotten some messages for how I made this chapter. It was hard but this is how I envisioned this story. So for those who were offended or have said I have no right to have Mercedes get raped I wonder how you know. I apologize if you didn't like what I have written, but as a writer I had to stay true to my characters and story. I am an Author a real one and I pride myself on being honest. Unfortunately that may make people upset but that is the way life is. I know how important virginity is but I also know how it feels to be betrayed. As a survivor of sexual abuse for two years I found it unfair that people talk about all the abuse but never really know how it feels. I am not being insensitive I am using a story of my own making to give someone a voice. I could tell you to keep reading because there was a point to all of this but that is up to you. Like I said of you were or are upset I am sorry but I will not apologize for how I see my story. Thank you for your support for this and my other stories.

Growing up I was sexually abused by my foster brother. Two years I endured that pain and it was another two years before I found my voice. But it was too late to do anything. I still had to see him every day and live with what he did to me. I was 9 when it started so it's safe to say I was a virgin.

It happened again when a friend of mine and I were doing a project. She said she would be home when I arrived but she left and only her older brother was home. I was 14 and he was 23. He tried to rape me and he got pretty damn close. It happens and I am tired of people getting upset when we as writers fight to make our voice heard.

It's funny though. All throughout this story no one has complained with the violence but the rape is what is the problem. It happens and not just to people who have had sex. Virgins get raped and it is traumatizing. I will never apologize for giving myself and others a voice. For those who have supported me even after this chapter thank you.
