There was a creepy man living downstairs. He used to touch me in all the wrong places. I was twelve years old when he first touched me without permission.
This man had always gave me creeps long before he first touched me. He'd look at me with lustful eyes everytime my parents weren't around.
I'd beg my parents to kick him out but they never did. They always said that they needed the money. Then he started saying disturbing things to me. He got bolder as time passed until one day, my parents went away for a weekend. They left me with a teenager to take care of me. She didn't do her job and went to a party that Friday night. I was left alone with the creepy man. He failed to keep his disgusting hands off me. He forced himself on me.
When my babysitter didn't come back, he did it again the following night. It was the longest weekend of my life. When my parents came back I asked them one more time to kick the creepy man out and like every other time I'd asked, they told me no, they need his money. I never mentioned it ever again.
The creepy man frequently came to my room until I had enough. I made a friend, Poison Ivy. When my parents went away again I offered the creepy man tea. Believing that I'd come to terms with our relationship, he drank it. I watched his lustful eyes fill with confusion, then pain and finally fear. He screamed and screamed for what felt like hours. Then there was silence. My heart filled with ease as I watched his lifeless eyes stare into the abyss.
Though the feeling was shortlived, soon my heart palpitated as I was consumed by guilt. I'd just killed a man. But he deserved it so I never thought of him ever again.
In conclusion, if you don't want to suffer the same fate, never touch me without asking.
THE END...
