I total forget about run into my father a couple days before because I had a really fun day with my classmate celebrate my birthday. So when the card and cupcakes come I did not think about they could be any drugs in them until I taste my cupcake, but I had to take my medicine first so I let the rest of the girl go head and eat their cupcakes because it was only gonna take me a few minutes. The girls had them almost gone, by the time I notice my cupcake taste funny and stop eat it. After we get done eat the cupcake we take showers then get ready for bed. Then my father comes with his bad friends and the bad friends drug the rest of the girls some more, as my Fathers rape me and beat me up, I try fighting back but he was too strong. After his friends finished drugging the girls my father picked me up and he threw me in the back of his van and driver out of camp and back to his place.
