One year ago today I was raped ...I was asked to hangout with a couple of acquaintances (though I didn't know that they had been using alcohol and drugs prior) so I said sure that I would, this boy forced me into a garage and had his friend lock and block the door. I told him repetitively to stop and I said I wanted to go home many times. He told me "You can go home when I'm finished" my tears rushed and I froze in shock. He made sure to tell me there is weapons within feet of him and I. He pushed me to my knees and forced his penis down my throat, and he offered his friend to join (luckily he said no) he then had a chair set up and he sat down and grabbed around my waste and wouldn't let go and thrusted me. He finished, and let me go. I ran home and locked the doors and cried. I didn't tell anyone for a couple days. It's been one year exactly, and I am now have been in a healthy comfortable relationship for 6 months. I'm safe, although my nightmares and flashbacks occur quite frequently...I'd like to believe I'm okay. My boyfriend is very sweet and takes care of me and wakes me up from my nightmares. I'm very lucky to be alive and a survivor. I'm not looking to seek pity, I'm here to say: you can get through it..and you will be okay. I've been in counselling since that night, and I've overcome so many of my anxieties, and I overcame my past. I am not a victim, I will not let him victimize me. Although, police didn't do anything because it was 2 best friends against a survivor...I can say I became a warrior that night
