Luke:

Everytime I close my eyes, I see her. I see her olive skin, the shades of brown in her eyes and her teeth,"So...how do you feel?" my therapist asks. I've been seeing her for about three weeks now and I still haven't asked her name. It's not like I care, ever since Sabrina crawled into my window and took me away from my home I haven't been able to look at another woman,"Like shit. Can I go now?" I ask and lick my teeth. I do that when I'm nervous sometimes

"Tell me Luke, explain how she...touched you." she whispers that last part and I close my eyes, watching the scene unfold. The way I told her I wanted to just the be friends at school and the way she crawled in my window. It happened slowly, mainly because I was dreaming about Caitlin, a girl whom I've loved for awhile now.

"It was slow.." I whisper then go on to describe the attack. The therapist drops her clipboard in awe then asks,"You're a man Luke, Why didnt you just stop her?"

That's when I lost it. I grabbed my bag and left, thats how people have been treating me the last month making it seem like it's my fault that I was raped.

They make it seem like woman are the only ones who can get raped, and I hate it. I walk down the stairs and out to my car, unlocking it and sitting inside. A hot clear tear rolls slowly down my face and I shake it off, my breathing slow and shaking,"Its all your fault. Its all your fault."
