After that happening to me and seeing the hurt in my brothers eyes i knew something had to change so i signed up to play football at the age 11 years old by the time i was 12 i didn’t want to be fucked with. I had already been through enough and i was sick and tired of it. My moms birthday he had to babysit me and my brother again so he thought that was a good opportunity to try it with me. Until he found out I was on my period. So he went for my little brother instead before he could even get any closer to him. I heard him scream for help. I grabbed the wooden broom stick from the kitchen and headed into the room. I saw my cousin cornering my brother off. I mimicked my brother to be quiet and hit my cousin on the back with the broomstick, making him shout out in pain and fall to the ground. I told my brother to run to my room and lock the door. I shut the door behind me and locked it. I walked up to him he immediately grabbed my ankles pulling me to the floor he climb on top of me proceeding to try and rape me. pain from my cramps and all I kicked him off me and fought back beating with the broomstick as hard as I could until the broomstick snapped in two I then started beating him with my fists before I knew it. My mom and grandparents walked into the house seeing my brother crying then my grandma heard my cousin yell out in pain she walked to the door trying to open it. She yelled for my grandpa to come hurry up and open the door by the time he opened it. My cousin’s face was completely bloody and bruised I was still punching him. It took my grandpa to make me stop by prying me off of his sick minded ass he collapsed on the floor. He was rushed to the hospital and told that if he wasn’t rushed to the hospital in time he wouldn’t have made it. When i heard the news my exact words were “i should’ve kept hitting him i want to kill him honestly”. My grandma looked at me shocked and took me outside looking me in the eyes telling me how proud she was of me for standing up to him she explained that she knew what he was doing the entire time. She grabbed me, hugging me as tight as she could while the tears rolled down my face.
