Trigger Warning:
This can be very triggering and very raw to victims of rape/sexual assault. Especially as the victim is a child. I strongly advise you to only read what you are comfortable with and to skip parts that are triggering.
Please, please only read what you are comfortable with.
This is a rollercoaster.
All my love <3
"Hi, gorgeous." He crouches down in front of me. His hair's brown and looks quite fluffy, like Flynn Rider's.
"Hello." I respond with a smile.
Black.
"You're absolutely beautiful. Anyone ever told you that?" He smiles, showing off his silver tooth.
Another flash of black. Like a slideshow of terror.
"I can show you where April is. I saw her upstairs, I think the birthday girl's getting ready, want me to take you to her?" He rubs my arm gently and I smile with a nod, excited to see April.
Black.
He leads me into another room. I try to stop him but he's pretty tall.
Black.
"Come over here, gorgeous." He pats the bed next to him, his tone so kind and soft.
"But April'll be waiting." I whine, throwing my hands up.
"Come over here."
I flinch at how angry and loud he sounds. Now, I'm scared.
Black.
I back up against the door, about to turn around and run run run but a click. And the door's locked.
Black.
"Now you'll do what I say, gorgeous." He spits in my face, tugging me off the door.
"Please- let go of me. You're hurting me." I cry out, so so scared now. It feels like my arms have turned to jelly and my hearts beating too fast in my chest.
I cry louder when his fingernails dig into my skin.
He yanks me towards the bed but I plant my feet, tugging back at his hand. He's being mean and scary and I did nothing wrong to him. I fight back and shout, "Let go of me." I try not to focus on how shaky and small my voice sounds.
If it was Gabriel, he'd have screamed much louder and his voice wouldn't shake. But I'm not as strong as Gabriel. Maybe one day I will be but I wish today was the day and it isn't and for a second, I hate myself for being so small in comparison to this big man.
He looks down to me, his brown eyes that I thought looked like Flynn Rider's look so so angry now. So ugly and angry.
He lets go of my hand and shoves me so I fall forward onto the bed. I can't stop the tears anymore, they spill and roll and fill my eyes and my body, throat, stomach. I'm nothing but tears.
And I scream. Louder than I ever have and with so much power from my throat and my chest and my stomach but his hand is on the back of my head, pushing me into the mattress. Nobody can hear my scream asides from myself.
