He opened the door to my room and climbed my bed. What he wanted from me I did not know but I thought I thought I could trust him since family was everything. He climbed my bed and made way towards me who was sleeping on my stomach. He put his weight on ten year old me and started rubbing his member at my back,like there was an itch he was trying to get rid of. He came the next day and the day after and the next, but when he came on the last day, he tried to flip me over so I'd sleep on my back but was awake then but my eyes were still firmly shut so i tried so hard to stay in my position, Heaven knows what he would've done to me if i didn't resist. I couldn't tell anyone because I thought no one would believe a ten year old and also because I thought people would see me in a different light if they heard. No one was there to tell me i was taking a very bad decision. No one was there to coax me into opening up.
Even when I wouldn't talk or when my mood suddenly switched, no one cared enough to ask why, all they ever did was to conclude. It was always Theresa who did all the bad things and she was the only one who was always frowning because she was disrespectful and didn't like it when she was sent. No one ever thought there might've been a reason for my sudden change in attitude, no one ever cared.
That was what i thought until she came around and helped me to recover slowly. Before her and after him, i had nightmares...a lot of them so my sleeping wasn't always healthy. Sometimes he'd rape me and sometimes he'd hit me till i was almost hugging death. That was until she came around. She sent peace and happiness wherever she went and fortunately for me, one of the places she went was to me. She was a lover of children, that's what she called herself. Even though she had a son, she hardly saw him because he was in another country and he had a new life there.
It's true what they say, that all good things would fade away. A few years after our encounter, she left me alone in this dark tunnel, filled with never ending thorns,to find the light at the end alone.
I turned to God for he was the only one who could truly save me..she told me that too. When she left to become an angel to watch over me, the nightmares came back, I didn't have it easy at all because i still hadn't told my parents. I'm eighteen now and they still don't know, all i ask is for courage and long life to be able to tell my story one day.
