Temilola’s p.o.v
The rain lashed down on the rooftops as I looked out my window. I felt numb! I felt empty! Lifeless maybe! I wanted to cry out, scream, but I couldn’t take the risk of waking everyone at home up. I shuddered as I remembered the events that happened a few hours. How minutes before what happened occurred, I never imagined my whole life was about to be shattered.
It was some minutes to 8. I was walking home hurriedly from my friend’s house. I was already so late so I decided to take a shortcut through a dark grove. If only I had known! Id barely walked 5 minutes into the grove when a thorn pricked me, I bent down to remove it. I stood up to keep on moving but was shocked to see a boy standing in front of me. I walked backwardly slowly and my back hit a strong pillar, I looked back to see another boy at my back. I was panicking by this time but summoned the courage to ask who they were and what they wanted from me. You! The guy in front mumbled. Tears had already started rolling down my eyes. Please let me go, I managed to say kneeling down. Oh! But that won’t be possible, pretty one, just stay calm and I’m sure you’d enjoy all the things were planning on doing with you. The one at the back of me grabbed me while I started screaming for help. They both started laughing hysterically. My dear, you can scream all you want but no one will come save you. The one holding me pushed me to the ground, I wanted to stand up but he quickly laid on me. I was struggling furiously as the other guy held my hand together tying it with a piece of rag while the one on top of me used his legs to pin my leg and started hoisting my skirt up and tearing my panties off. Oh my God, why did I wear skirt today of all days making it easier for them to molest me. I kept on struggling but couldn’t do nothing as I felt a sharp pain as he penetrated into me. I was screaming and crying as they were both laughing. The pain was excruciating. I thought I was going to die. I prayed someone, anyone would help me but no help came. I felt myself growing weaker and dizzy slipping into unconsciousness.
I woke up to find myself alone on the ground. They just left me lying there. I tried sitting up but the pain was unbearable. Trying to comprehend what happened. Unbelievable! Me?! I was molested! r***d! Ruined for life!. What will I tell my parents? How can I even tell them? Will they even believe me? I am doomed!.
……………….
I quickly wiped away my tears as I approached the back gate trying to make sure nothing seems amiss with me. Luckily, my parents are not around. Where they went to? I don’t know. Thank God, no one saw me as I sneaked into the house through the kitchen and into my room. I quickly peeled the clothes off of me n entered the bathroom. I stood under the shower for close to an hour desperately trying to wash off every trace of their touch on me. All my body feels so sore. I’m disgusted with myself. After I finally came out. I sat down on my bed looking out the window.
