With Pain Come Love 2

Melo 14

After the call with Yaya I finished eating and then went to get dressed preparing to go out with Asemahle. She said she needed to talk to me about something via text. When I was done I took my things and went to her apartment. I knocked and she came to answer. She looked horrible. I closed the door behind me and pulled my twin in for a hug. She just cried uncontrollably on my chest, so much she even had hiccups. We sat down on the floor by the door as I listened to her cry, the way my heart sank to my stomach felt unreal. It was painful hearing her cry like that and all I could say was "it's ok"... which is funny because I don't even know what I'm talking about or the reason she was crying. She cried until she had no cry more cry left in her and I just kept quiet and brushed her back.
Her: I asked him to stop but he wouldn't stop. My screams didn't mean anything to him, the kicking and scratching didn't do anything to him.
Me: shhhh don't say anything
I couldn't hold back the tears from streaming down and the anger from building up. Whoever raped my sister was a dead man!
Me: who did this to you?
Her: it was... Ke..vin
Me: come let's get you cleaned up I'm taking you to the hospital
Her: no!
She shouted.
Me: Asemahle I'm not going to argue with you on this. We going to the hospital
Her: no Derrick
She shook her head.
Her: they going to judge me Derrick. I don't want to go there
Me: Asemahle we don't know what diseases he might have. Lets go.
She still shook her head.
Her: maybe you should leave
Me: i'm not going anywhere. Go wear a gown and let's go!
She was hesitant but eventually she nodded. We both got up and headed to her room, she looked like she was scared to go in. What am I saying, she was literally shaking, the fear in her eyes said it all. I let go of her hand and walked in alone. The mess in her room alone tells a story of just how much they fought before he was able to get his hands on her. The bed and sheets were messed up I went up to the bed and there was blood on the sheets, the sheets were torn too there was some stuff on the floor, as much as I wasn't here the scene played out clearly for me. I couldn't stand being in here, I walked to her closet and took out her gown and sleepers then took her phone with me. When I got out she was sitting curled up on the floor, I took her hands and made her stand up then helped her wear her gown and sleepers. All I could think of was ways to make the asshole pay!
Kevin is a guy who lives around our complex, we normally chill with him every now and then, he and my sister were in the same class back in high school. He's been tryna flirt with her but Asemahle is those hard to get type of girls and I also didn't make things easy for him. He and Ase we are supposed to be friends, what went wrong? What gave him the wrong idea? There's literally no explaining rape thou. The question pondering in my head is what he was even doing here last night or this morning I'm sure because my sister was still in her short pjays.
We got into my car and I drove us straight to the hospital where ain't Amber used to work in. It was a struggle to get her out of the car but eventually she got out and they took her away. I took my phone and called mom.
//Her: to what do I owe this call?
Me: mom you have to rush to the hospital now
Her: what is it? What's wrong baby?
Me: it's Asemahle. Please just come to the hospital
Her: ok I'm on my way.//
Knowing mom she was probably thinking it's alcohol poisoning or something, but not this time around. Within minutes mom came in running with Iyana.
Iya: Melo what is it?
Mom: Melo where is my baby?
I took a deep breath in and then let it out.
Mom: Melo talk to me. Is she ok? Say something
Me: she was raped mom.
She looked down and then looked up at me with teary eyes. Iyana went to sit down and buried her face in her hands.
Mom: rrrr...a...p...ed?
She struggled to even get the word out of her mouth.
Mom: where is she? I want to see her?
Me: she's with the doctor.
Mom: where the hell is your father. He said he was on his way!
Me: mom please calm down
I said trying to touch her
Her: don't touch me Melokuhle
She was now in tears. Iya hasn't said a word ever since. Dad came in running.
Him: where's my daughter?
Mom threw herself at dad crying and dad welcomed her in his embrace. He looked at me with questioning eyes as mom cried out to him.
Mom: you have to find him Damon!
She said sobbing in his chest.
Dad: him? Who? Someone tell me something
A doctor came over to us, the one who was attending her.
Me: how is she?
Dr: she's asleep.
Mom: I want to see her
Dr: when she wakes up i'll send someone to call you
Mom: what is your name?
Her: Helen Mars
Mom: Dr Mars you clearly new here, your nurses will fill you in on who I am. I want to see my daughter now
Dad: honey calm down
Mom: Damon don't fucking tell me to calm down. Which room is my daughter in?
Dr: please follow me.
Mom and dad followed behind her, I walked up to Iya and helped her stand so we can also join them. When we got to the room Ase was sleeping peacefully. Mom ran to her and kissed her countless times on her forehead sobbing.
Dad: will someone please tell me what happened to my daughter?!
He roared.
Dr: your daughter was raped this morning. I'm so sorry sir
Dad: please leave us.
She nodded and walked out. Dad looked at me and signalled us to talk outside.
Him: who did this?
Me: some guy who lives in the complex with us
Him: I want a name and surname Derrick!
Me: Kevin Reed
Him: ok.
He took out his phone and made some phone calls. This whole time I was watching him speaking to lord knows, I was startled by him ending the call with "Find him" and then he dropped it. We went back inside without anyone saying the word to anyone. He went to stand by mom's side
Her: did you find him?
Dad: my men are working on it.
I just pulled Yana to me. My sister was crushed, as we all were. None of us ever thought we would find ourselves in a situation like this before but here we are, and not even money can solve this one. My twin was going to be scared for life by this one. No amount of weed or alcohol was going to make this pain go away or make her forget. This whole ordeal made me think of Yaya, I don't know how I would live with myself if something like this happened to her. I helped Yana seat down and went outside to call her. I needed to know that she was ok. It rang a while before it was answered.
//Her: hey baby
She said shouting. There was loud music from wherever she was.
Me: Yandiswa!
Her: hold on babe while I find a quiet place.
I heard some loud noise for a while and then a door bang and lock.
Her: hey you
Me: where are you?
Her: there's this party on campus at the Phrat house
Me: Yandiswa I need you to go home
Her: what? Why?
Me: could you please just listen to me for once and stop being stubborn
Her: baby what's wrong? Talk to me
Me: Yandiswa please just go to your place. I don't want to have to worry about you especially now
Her: babe
Me: Yandiswa marn!
Her: fine. I'll call you when I get there
Me: thank you.//
She was probably mad thinking I'm tryna control her and stuff when I'm only trying to look out for her. My sister is lying there when she shouldn't be, I don't want my girlfriend to end up in the same situation. This was done to her by someone she trusted, Yaya needs to cut down on these male friends now. It's not safe! I was really hoping that Yandiswa listened to me this time. I went inside and Ase was still sleeping.

So my housemate is gone for the weekend and is only coming back Sunday or Monday depending on her class. I had just finished making breakfast when there was a knock on the door, I went to open the door and there stood Kevin. A friend from high school who lives in the same complex as me, he and i are good friends even though he flirts with me every now and then but we good friends who share series and other things. I open the door and his breath smells of alcohol with a mix of mint. I let him in and then we go into the lounge
Me: i'm having cereal, can I make you a bowl?
Him: no thanks I'm full. I just missed you that's all
Me: you chose to go get drunk last night when we could have watched the vampire diaries
He chuckled.
Him: you mad at me princess?
Me: not at all. I watched VD with my boyfriend via Skype
He laughed at me
Him: that's cute.
He could bare keep his eyes off my legs, I was wearing shorts and a top, my pjays of cause. Because I felt uncomfortable with his stares I excused myself and said I was feeling a bit cold so i'll go wear a gown quick. He nodded and I left him and went to my room. I grabbed my long gown and walked to the door wearing g it when it swung open and it was Kevin.
Me: hey
Him: hi. God you so sexy
Me: uhhm thanks
I said covering myself with the gown and tying it looking at him walking closer to me as I moved back
Me: so let's get out of here and go chill in the lounge
Him: why not here?
I froze when I couldn't move back any further, I had reached the bed. I moved to the side but he didn't budge, he just came at me with that hungry lustful look.
Me: Kevin you need to leave
Him: you wanted me last night, I'm here now
Me: not like that
He grabbed ahold of me and I tried to fight him but who am I kidding, Kevin is into those body building things.
Me: Kevin you hurting me leave me alone
Him: i've wanted you since High school but you never gave me the time of day
Me: and I'm sorry now please let go of me
He attempted to kiss me but I shut my lips
Him: so you not willing to corporate?
Me: Kevin please just leave
By now I was crying, tears streaming down my face but he wasn't fazed. He wanted what he wanted from me and he was determined on getting it. He threw me I. The bed and I crawled to my bed side but he caught my leg and pulled me to him before I could reach my side lamp. He got on top of me and sat on my ass making it hard for me to move and then he held my hands and tied them to my back, well he held them and with the one hand he used it to take his pants off. I kept begging him not to do this but he wasn't hearing any of that. I felt his hard shaft against my ass
Him: today I'm going to take you to a world you've never been before.
He said pulling both my shorts and underwear off at the same time.
Him: lace... sexy.
You could hear the pleasure in his voice. At that moment I hated lace underwear. Seconds later I felt it, I felt him shove his thing inside of me.
Him: mmmmh you so tight
Me being "tight" didn't stop him, my tears didn't stop him, my begging didn't stop him instead he took it as an invitation to thrust harder and deeper. I kept praying for him to stop but he didn't. He flipped me over and went at it again, by now I had no fight in me. My prayer was that he get it over with and kill me after because I don't see life after this. He went in and out until he filled me up and when he was down he got off me and dressed me in my pjay shorts and walked out feeling pleased with himself. He didn't turn back or say anything after, he just left. I tried to get up but the pain down there was unbearable, I needed my phone, I needed Melo. I gathered the little strength I had and searched for my phone under the pillow and I found it, I couldn't bring myself to call him because he would ask questions I couldn't answer. I sent him a text instead and then got of the bed, there was blood on my sheets and on my shorts, evidence of having lost my virginity and never getting it back, evidence of having been raped by someone who was supposed to be my friend. I couldn't even look at myself, my first thought was to shower but growing up with an aunt that is a doctor there's just somethings you know, like not to shower after being raped for evidence sake. I walked out of the room and shut the door then curled myself up by the door waiting for my brother to get here. Eventually he came by, I know his knock, I tried getting up and opened for him. He looked good, he smelt good too. His smile changed the minute he saw me to being concerned, that's my brother for you. I couldn't hold back the tears. I just cried with hopes that it was nothing but a dream but the pain I was feeling was not a dream, it was real and there was no waking up from this.
I woke up screaming and crying.
"Asemahle wake up baby you having a bad dream" I recognised that voice, I knew it all too well. It was mom. I tried to open my eyes and the light was blinding but eventually I opened them. I was in hospital, Melo brought me in. When did mom get here? Why did Melo tell her? She looked at me with eyes filled with tears and so did dad standing next to her. They felt pity for me. Why didn't he kill me instead? Why did he let me live? Why? Seeing my parents like that, I couldn't. I closed my eyes and let the tears roll down on their own
