"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." C.G Jung
I always told myself that what that man tried to do to me was the worst thing possible. I know that both man and women get harassed, molested, even raped, everyday,but what I think was the worst thing, was that I trusted him. I saw that man as my second father, I never trusted someone as much as I trusted my own father, that man was the exception.
I know half of what Anna must be feeling. She trusted that man, she was blinded by the fake smile and gestures.
I hug Anna as she continues to sob.
"Anna, be brave." I let go of her and I grab her face. "You have to decide if you want him to hurt you again or if you are going to safe yourself." I wipe her tears. "Don't ever give him a reason to make you that weak little girl, again."
"But." She hiccuped. "What if he tries to r..." She can't even finish that word.
"If he touches you, have you phone prepared to call the police. He didn't have a heart when he raped you, don't you dare to have a heart when he is sent to jail." I stand up from her bad and I make my way to the door. "Come on, I'll make you breakfast. I have to be at my training in 2 hours."
Anna gets off the bed and follows me out the door.

"Okay class, today we have a new helper in our class. Please welcome Miss Mia into our class." Miss Elena says to the small group of children. "Remember how I told you that I was moving to a different school next year? We'll Miss Mia will be taking in my place." All the children looked really sad knowing that their teacher will not be with them next year.
Miss Elena turns to me waiting for me to give a small speech to the children.
"Hello, as Miss Elena said I will be with you guys until the school year is over, then next year I will be taking in the new first grader." I take a deep breath. "I'm looking forward to being here and helping Miss Elena out in the next few weeks." I smile down at the children.
I once wanted to be a psychologist but life got I. The way and I realized that I wanted to spend my life teaching children. That's why I'm here, in a classroom filled with future leaders. I know cheesy, but it's true.
******************************************
I am walking home after a long and fun day at school.
As I make my way to the apartment door I notice the door wide open. I run inside and I hear noises coming from Anna's room. I hear faint notices and then I hear
"Help." I run to her room and I don't take long to react, I grab the lamp from her night stand I smash it on the man on top of Anna.
The man falls to the ground unconscious. I look at Anna and she is naked on the bed, I can see how scared she is. I move fast and I grab my phone to call the police and I grab, with my free hand, Anna's covers to cover her shaking naked body.
"What's your emergency?" The lady on the phone asks.
"I came home to find a man raping my roommate and I hit him in the head and he is now unconscious and We are scared that he will wake up soon and hurt us. Please help." I give the lady my address and in less than 5 minutes the police in at my doorstep taking that man.
They drive me and Anna to the hospital to make sure that we are both okay. After they check us a police officer walks into the room.
"Girls, will you please come with me to the police station to claim a report?" The policeman says. Anna and I nod.
We make our way to the police station, Anna is still shaking and she hasn't said a word.
"Okay Miss Hastings, can you tell us what happened?" Anna has both hands on her lap, shaking, she starts talking.
"I'm came out of class and he followed me home. When I got home the door to my apartment was burst open by that man. He walked straight to me and pushed me to the nearest bedroom and he started taking of my clothes, I started screaming when he punched me across the face and told me that if I didn't stay quiet tang he when he was done with me he was gunna kill me and wait for my roommates and rape them too. I stopped screaming but I didn't stop trying to get him off of me. Right before he was about to enter me he fell to the ground unconscious because of the impact from my friend trying to safe me." She takes a deep breath. "This wasn't the first time, he raped me when I lived home with my parents. That's why I ran away from home."
