Vinnie: Okay Gummy bears or gummy worms?
Yale: Vin, they literally taste the same...
Vinnie: It's the shape Meguin. THE SHAPE!
Yale: Gummy bears
Vinnie: you're disgusting
Yale: What? why?
Vinnie: Gummy worms are so obviously superior.
Yale: It's my opinion vincent
Vinnie: Well your opinion is wrong.

Vinnie and I stared through the hole in the ceiling of of our top secret hide out.

Well it wasn't really a top secret hide out, it wasn't top secret... or a hideout... it was an abandoned playground in our neighborhood.

No one ever played there anymore because it was old and run down... kinda dangerous but it was special to me and Vinnie. We always hung out here when we're kids.

Vinnie: Do you think we're going to stop being friends in high school?
Yale: What? Of course not. Why would you say that?
Vinnie: Cause my dad told me that you lose all of your friends in high school.
Yale: Well your dad's a liar and a drunk.
Vinnie: Touche.
Yale: Vinnie. You're my best friend. You always have been my best friend and you will always be my best friend. Nothing in the world could ever ruin our friendship.

Vinnie leaned over from his laying position next to me and placed his lips on mine...

my first kiss.

Vinnie: I'm sorry.
Yale: Don't be.

That night I lost my virginity. Only me and Vinnie know this. And we would like to keep it that way.

Vinnie's POV

Yale: Vin we're gonna be so late.

Her curls were floating behind her while she raced down the street trying to catch the school bus we had so conveniently missed.

Vinnie: Meguin, it's gone.
Yale: Shit! I guess we'll just walk then. God I'm out of breath.
Rick: I can take y'all to school.
Yale: Really? That would be gr-
Vinnie: No thanks. We'll walk.
Yale: Who's WE?

yale this is not the time to call me out because i was speaking for you. Swallow your pride, turn around and just listen to me. please.

Yale: We would love a ride to school.
Vinnie: Wouldn't you rather walk? It's such a nice day out.
Rick: You heard the lady. she don't wanna walk! Hop on in kids.

It'll be fine. It's fine.

Rick: So Yale how's your mother, I don't see her much.
Yale: She's fine.
Rick: Still a flight attendant?
Yale: Yup. She's thinking about getting her pilot's license.
Rick: I've never seen a female pilot before.
Vinnie: It's pretty common dad.
Rick: What is your deal today? You're acting like a disrespect little asshole. I didn't raise you to be like that, especially not in front of a young lady.
Vinnie: Just tired.
Rick: Just tired. You get that from your whore of a mother. I've got stamina.
Vinnie: Hey don't talk about her like that!
Rick: You better watch your tone!
Vinnie: Whatever.

I hate being around him.

He turns me into someone I don't want to be. My mom always says she sees him in me as if that's a compliment.

We pulled up to the school when I reached over yanking Yale out of the car.

Yale: Ow! Vin wtf.
Rick: Vincent get back in this car. NOW.

I pretended not to hear him while continuing to drag Yale into our new high school.

Yale: Vinnie you're hurting me! Vinnie stop it!

She pulled her arm out of my grasp. I heard footsteps coming down the hall.

My dad doesn't have many rules but one of them is never interrupt a man having time with a woman. So I did what any "sane" person who's afraid of their father would do... I pushed Yale against the wall and forced myself onto her lips.

She tried to shove me off but I couldn't stop until the smell of whiskey disappeared down the hall.
A pair of arms pulled me back.

???: Dude she said get off!

I opened my eyes to reveal Yale, my best friend in tears.

Yale: What the fuck is your problem?!
Vinnie: I'm sorry.

I tried to lean in for a hug but she flinched. She gave me a familiar look. The way Amy looks at my dad.

I fucked up.

Now

Everyday I think about what I did to Yale. I could've just told her. But I acted impulsively. I'm still stressed over what I did to her.. I can't even imagine what she's going through.
___________
Yale's POV
Yale: No no no no aaaaaahh ahh! STOP STOP!
Vinnie: It's just a nightmare. You're okay. You're safe.

There they were. Those eyes.

The same eyes that appear in my nightmares.

Memories of when he took my choices away. Of when he made me feel like a stranger in my own body.

Yale: I think I should get home.
Vinnie: You sure?
Yale: Yes.

I haven't updated in a while, I'm so sorry. There's been a lot going on lately.

Anyways since the boys thought it was necessary to create national rape day, I want to talk about how traumatizing, terrible and painful rape is. It's not something to joke about and if you think it's funny, you need to think about the person you are and the type of person you want to be.

Everyone be safe out there.
