Well everything was going great, perfect even. Everyone had celebrated their birthdays. Apparently I was the only one left. It was fun with all the celebrations. Miracle had started school some months ago which was september and he was doing okay. Nelson and I were in a very comfortable place. I'd tell everyone about Nelson on my birthday but I'm sad cause he would be traveling out of the country soon. Oh, guess what?! I had gotten admitted into CrownWell University to study Theatre Arts!! The year couldn't have gotten any better. My inner self celebration was cut short when I heard a knock on the gate. Who could it be? It's still early in the morning.
"Yes, I'm coming" I opened the gate and there stood Nelson all dressed up. "Hey Nel, what's up? How are you doing?"
"Hey Ollie, I'm doing great. Can I come in?"
"Oh yeah, sure. I'm sorry for my manners"
When we got into the house, I offered him a seat. We talked for a while and I forgot to offer him anything to drink or eat.
"I'm sorry. What would you like to drink?"
"Water will be okay"
"Okay. A glass of water coming right up"
I got the water from the fridge in the kitchen and came back to the sitting room.
"Here you go" I offered it to him
"Thank you" He took the water from me, drank it and returned the glass to me. As I turned my back to leave for the kitchen, he called me back.
"Olivia" I turned and there he was, behind me.
"You want to see the kitchen? I think that's impossible without my permission," I laughed
"Olivia, look behind you" I turned to see what it was but instead,I fell on the couch
"Ouch...what was that for?!!" I said and before I knew what was going on, Nelson was giving me the slaps of my life..." What are you doing?"
"Shut up! You think that you're so good, so decent? Well you've got it all wrong!!!" He continued hitting me and eventually tore my gown. Only then did it dawn on me what he was trying to do…
"Please Nelson, don't do this to me. I'm begging you!!!" I pleaded with everything withing me but he didn't move, instead I think I provoked him further cause he remove a white handkerchief from his pocket and placed it on my nose
chloroform!!
.. that was the last thing I said in my head before I blackout…
************************
After what felt like an eternity, my eyes finally fluttered opened before my whole body responded. I couldn't stand up cause I was so weak, all I did was lay there a little while longer to regain my strength. While lying there, everything that had happened flashed back and I felt so broken. Everything was going great, what happened? What did I do to deserve this? He raped me!! Nelson raped me!! I trusted him and he did this to me!! But I thought we were at a great place!!. All the thoughts swirled round my head. After laying lifeless for about 30 minutes on the floor, I mustered enough strength ad helped myself to a chair. I looked at the beautiful clock at the opposite end of the room and saw that it was just a few minutes last the hour of 1pm. Miracle and my mum wouldn't be back any time soon. I needed Micheal here but before I called him to come over, I needed to shower and pray that I see my period; that way I'd know for sure that I wasn't pregnant. I went into my room, ripped the rest of what remained of the gown off my body, got into the bathroom, turned the faucet to the maximum making the water very hot instead of cold. I needed the hot water to burn my skin and it did just that. I felt the sting of the hot water and I wasn't phased. I was already in pain!! Hot tears washed over me and I let them flow. After having a swell time in the bathroom, I left the bathroom, looked through my wardrobe for something to wear and after I'd done that, I walked to my full length mirror and looked at myself...Broken pieces…. I called Micheal to come over and that it was an emergency. He said that he'd come over in the next 30 minutes. While waiting for him to show up, I limped back to the living room and did a double-check on everything just in case anything was missing but nothing was stolen. I was about leaving for the kitchen when something caught my eye. I moved to where the object was only to see a note. I picked it up and read it's content out loud. "I never loved you. All I did was just some game I played with my friends and you were just a bait and I won"
I was glued to that spot as hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I was just a game to him? When did the universe decided to play such cruel game on me? While in my thoughts, I didn't notice the presence of anyone until the person spoke.
"Ollie? Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
I tried so hard to wipe the tears away but I failed woefully
"Hey. Thank you for coming" I managed to say…
" It really is an emergency if you're crying this much and you have pain written all over your face. What's going on Ollie!?"
"Please have a seat." I tried so hard to hide my limping
"Uhhh, why are you limping? Did you hit your leg on something?" He said with a quizzical look on his face.
"I have got something to tell you. I need help!!" Fresh tears poured out of my eyes. What kind of help was I asking for? I brought out my phone and typed it to him cause I felt the walls had ears at that moment and I didn't want my mum finding out any time soon.
"This is a joke, right? You're just pulling my legs" he said, giving a somewhat confused laughter.
I shook my head to indicate NO. Arghh, what's wrong with my eyes and this waterworks!! Crying won't solve anything... I'm so broken inside!!
