The doorbell rings and my little brother calls out, “I’ll get it!” “I’ll get lots of sleep tonight, do some yoga to get my head straight… I’ll be better after tomorrow.” “I think I just need one more day,” I tell her, nodding confidently. How many more problems am I going to have to juggle? It’s getting out of hand.

How am I supposed to sit in the same classroom with that psychopath? Is he done with me now? Will he leave me alone, or is he just waiting for another chance to pounce?

Didn’t you say you have a test this week?” “Well, it’s too early in the school year to be missing classes, honey. “I’m still not feeling well,” I tell her. “You’re still in pajamas?” my mom asks when she notices, her gaze raking over my sweats and baggy T-shirt.

The filthiness of him making me show him his cum in my mouth afterward, before swallowing the evidence of his assault.

I remember the way he made me suck him off, the way he shoved his dick so far into my throat, I thought I would lose consciousness. I relive Jake dragging me around so they could gawk at my naked breasts, Carter’s mouth sucking on my nipples, Shayne’s smirk as he pawed at my breasts.Ĭarter is the most traumatizing, obviously.
