Sexually assaulted

Rebecca

I'm 16 years old and this March time I was sexually assaulted by my boy best friend Declan. There was a small get together with our mates at he's house, there was drinking involved (big mistake). I drank a bit too much and went to lay down in he's bed in the dark, I was curled up on my side. Five minutes went by and Declan walked up and came and lay next to me. He started spooning me and rubbing he's election over my ass, I was so uncomfortable I froze and pretending I was asleep. He started stroking up and down my arms and grabbing my boobs. Eventually my friend walked in but she didn't see anything because it was dark and I pretended I was going to be sick and ran. It was horrible and I felt so disgusted in myself for allowing him to do that. I guess it wasn't as bad as being raped or anything but I tried telling the teachers but they said I just misinterpreted the situation and he was probably just hugging me in a friendly way. No one took it seriously. I remember feeling really low for awhile but decided to distract myself. I still have to walk past him every day at school. Anyway whenever someone like my boyfriend strokes up and down my arm in a soothing way it just reminds me of what happened, I hate it. I hate people stroking my arm, I don't know what to do. How do I stop that memory from coming back every time someone strokes my arm? How do I forget it? I don't want to be reminded of what happened.
