Bright as the moon

Chapter 4 Trauma

In my deep sleep I woke up late when I looked at the time I was late for school I got up and got dressed and left the room immediately. I saw that Lily was still here in the lobby "What are you doing Lily?" "I'm having a coffee, are you blind?" "we are late for school" "Oh, I haven't told you yet because you immediately went to your room, They say we don't have school today because our teacher left the country" "you can sleep again Rome It's 8 am in the morning" "Oh is that so I'll just take care of my things here" "have breakfast first" "oh you prepared coffee for me again, Thank you" "Always welcome" after I finish eating I will clean the room "by the way, you're really busy later, Lily" "yes why?" "I just asked you" "You're going to Clark's brother's birthday party right?" "ow yeah he said it will start at noon" "ok be careful there" I finished eating and I cleaned my room, it took me 3 hours to be clean "Finally, it's over, I'll rest for a while" I looked at the time and I only have one hour to rest "I still have an hour to rest" while I was resting, lily entered the room and said she was leaving "I'm leaving Rome" "be careful" half an hour passed and I got dressed to leave  first went to the mall nearby to buy a gift for Clark's brother, I already bought his gift and while I was walking I suddenly thought why Clark invited me for his brother's birthday because his brother is 10 years old so it will be a kids party I didn't pay much attention and got on the bus Clark called me and was looking for me *on phone* "Rome where are you?" "I'm already on the bus, I'm almost there" "Okay. Take care" *phone hang up* I was surprised because I didn't hear a single child maybe I'm the first visitor

I arrived at Clark's house and Clark was waiting for me at their door "Yo Rome, how are you?" "I'm ok why there are no visitors yet" "ow actually it will start at 3 in the afternoon so I sent you to come early because you will help me decorate for my brother's birthday" "Oh, I see, thank you for inviting me" "And don't worry it's not a kids party because there are adults too" We went inside and I was asked to sit down to plan the decoration "what do you want, Rome juice or coffee?" "juice" "ok, just wait" while i was waiting i noticed something wrong i saw some baloons on their stairs "here is your juice Rome" I immediately asked Clark why there were balloons already "why do you have balloons clark?" "ow yeah, that's what I did first so that we could stick it on the wall" "Oh yeah, I see" Clark and I were already planning for the design we were going to do while we were talking, I suddenly felt dizzy "Rome are you okay?" "I feel like I'm dizzy" I didn't notice that the juice I drank had a sleeping pill that Clark put in it I can't feel my body anymore, I suddenly fell,

clark took me to his room and undressed me "Clark what are you doing?" "Just sleep there first" I just realized that Clark raped me he touched my private part I don't know what happened next and I lost my vision I can feel what Clark is doing to me and I really lost consciousness when I wake up I'm naked and sweaty I looked for my cellphone and immediately called Lily but I couldn't do it because Clark immediately entered the room "So are you going to report me?" I can't speak and I'm shaking "Good I thought you would report me" Clark came to me again and repeated what he did to me but while he was doing that, Xyria suddenly entered and a policeman was with her "STOP RAISE YOUR HANDS" I started crying and covered my body "You're under arrest Mr. Clark" They arrested Clark and brought him to the police station "Rome are you okay?" I heard what xyria said but I really couldn't speak "I'll take you home to Rome" I got dressed and went home with Xyria while we were on the bus, xyria said something to me "Clark's brother's birthday is over and his family is on vacation so he is the one left at their house" I just cried in front of Xyria Xyria hugged me and apologized for what happened "This is your dorm, right?" I didn't answer and just went to my dorm xyria accompanied me inside my dorm to wait for lily to come home "Rome, sorry I'm late because lily told me to watch over you because clark has bad plans for you" "What is my fault why did he choose me?" I just cried about what happened and xyria hugged me again I suddenly fell asleep while waiting for Lily and Xyria watched over me and I heard Lily's voice but I didn't pay attention

when I woke up I saw lily, suddenly came to me and hugged me "Sorry Rome I neglected you" "It's ok, Lily, I understand you're busy" "I'm really sorry Rome" "I'll take a shower first" I took a shower first and while I was taking a shower I felt like Clark was holding me I washed my body to remove what he did to me I spent over an hour in the bathroom "Rome, hurry up we're going to the police station" I told Lily that I don't want to see Clark "you have to come rome so we have evidence" I just agreed and so Clark could be imprisoned for what he did to me I came out of the bathroom and got dressed, putting on a face mask and a hat we left and went to the police station while we were going to the police station we met Kib and Emily "where are you going?" "we are going to the police station" Kib didn't recognize me because of what I was wearing "Why what are you going to do there?" "We will report because my friend was touched" "OMG I'll go with you, I want to see who it is" Emily and Kib came along" We went to the police station and Kib saw who the suspect was "Clark? What are you doing here?" "clark couldn't say a word and lily suddenly punched him" "YOU MOTHER F*CKER WHY DID YOU DO THAT YOU BASTARD" Kib was stunned when he found out that his friend was gay Kib called me and talked to me "Bro what did he do to you?" "He raped me" Kib couldn't believe what he heard and suddenly recognized me because of my voice "Rome is that you?" "Yes, it's me Kib, your friend touched me" Kib apologized to me and talked to me like a friend "Rome, I'm sorry for what happened to you and I'm sorry for what I did to you, I won't tease you anymore and I'll treat you like a friend now" I agreed to be friends with Kib and he said that he will protect me from anyone who wants to tease me I told kib what happened and he got angry with clark "I WANT TO KILL YOU CLARK" we didn't stay long at the police station and we weren't taken to court because while Clark was doing that, there was a recording camera The police saw that and immediately arrested him

I apologized to Kib because he and Xyria broke up because of me "Sorry kib because you and Xyria broke up because of me" "Don't worry about that Rome because Xyria and I are ok, because my sister talked to her" Xyria heard what Kib said and she was happy. I think I need to break my feelings for Xyria. I'm ok seeing her happy I will focus more on who is in front of me and I will do everything to get her

Lily and I went home to the dorm Lily comforted me and talked to me so I wouldn't lose myself "Rome, I have a story for you" I sat next to her and she's started talking.
