the wreckage of her self worth

❝Look at these pictures! Damn, she must be easy! I bet I could have a go at her! I mean, she's not that pretty so she must be desperate.❞

YOU KNOW WHAT I'll do if you say anything. I'll exploit you. I'll ruin you for anyone.

The images on her computer screen were horrifying. Pure terror. It was of her, undressed, and in the most provocative positions.

"This girl is a slut. Couldn't help but expose her for cheating on me. There's a lot more of these (; dm me if you want any," it was captioned.

She looked down at the bottom.

He did it. He really did.

He was a liar.

She covered her mouth and choked back a cry. The water filling her eyes began to blur her sight. She didn't even want to look at the comments. She didn't want to look at her own account either.

She begged him to stop. She begged him not to make her do things like that and take those pictures. He blackmailed her. He forced her. She cried out no. He didn't listen. He threw her around like a rag doll. Literally.

"Remember, no means no, always remember that honey," her mom used to tell her continuously until it was forever imprinted into her brain.

No means no.

Did it? Did no mean no to him? Was no not a strong enough word to make him stop? To make anyone stop?

She did what she was told. She kept her mouth shut. She didn't tell anyone. She swore that she wouldn't!

No means no.

Not to him.

She sat on her desk chair, frozen. In shock. Confused. What was she going to do? She began to panic. What were her options? Who would believe her? There was nothing. She was a goner. She wouldn't be able to show her face.

Her mom? Her dad? What would they think? She could see it now, their shared looks of disappointment and agony. Future arguments that would be caused by her. Getting shunned by the whole town and anyone outside of it.

Her little sister? She would be picked on at school. Get called terrible things. She would hate her. Hate her for what she had done. Look down on her.

And herself? She would get assaulted for sure. Used. Pushed around. So much more worse than what she had already endured because of him. The photos would be everywhere. Illegal sites, social media, the news. Everywhere.

Who's to say that's not what has already happened? He posted the photos at least ten minutes ago and they were skyrocketing up there.

A scream escaped loudly from her mouth. She had to escape. She couldn't bare the thought of everyone around hating her and treating her like she was—like she was cheap. She'd seen it happen many times to the girls at her school and in general.

She bursted into tears. She ran into her attached bathroom. She hastily started up the bathtub and put in the plug. Her entire system shook as she waited impatiently for it to fill up.

I'll exploit you. I'll ruin you for anyone.

Remember, no means no, always remember that honey.

I'll exploit you. I'll ruin you for anyone.

Remember, no means no, always remember that honey.

Her tears began to fall into the tub, mixing in with the water. She inhaled heavy breaths.

She lifted her leg and stepped in, even with her clothes still adorned onto her body. Slowly, she shifted lower until she finally began to sink down.

She was finally able to do what she had wanted from the moment he had blackmailed her.

No means no.

"Not to him," were her last words as she pulled herself lower until becoming completely masked by the water filled tub.
