The night I`ll never forget

Pain, memories, tears, and fear, are only some of the things rape leaves you with.


I was 17 years old, I remember enjoying life so much that day. My boyfriend of four years, Chris, had got back from a training camp for the airforce. He hade`nt been home in 2 months. I hated sleeping alone. Finally he came home and I wouldnt have to anymore. I spent the entire day in his arms. We made love and fell asleep. I felt safe knowing that when I woke up he`d still be holding me. When I woke up there he was with his arms wrapped tightly around me starring at me like there was nothing else that mattered. And for me, there was nothing but him. He wanted to run out to the store down the street but i offered to go since it was his first day home. I got dressed and left.


By then it was dark outside so when I went into the store all I could see was the lights from inside. I went in the store, grabbed a few things he asked me to, payed, then went out to the car. I got in and began to pull out. Once I reached the end of the parking lot, I heard movement in the backseat, within seconds a man dressed in black had a knife held against my throat. I wanted to cry but could`nt. I was frozen. He wrapped his hand around my mouth and whispered ” Do what I say, Or your not going home.” I could tell he was big by the way his hand felt around my mouth. He steared me in the opposite direction of Chris. After about a mile he made me pull over, he climbed in the drivers seat and made me get in the back.
