Chapter 3

"That day. That night you left me, in front of that alley, Joseph took advantage of me." I said and burst into tears.

"But you weren't drunk."

"He raped me Harry. He rapped me." I said and cried harder.

He wrapped me in his arms and rubbed my back. 

"Jocelyn, I'm so sorry for leaving you. If I would have know that this would have happened I would have never left."

"Just hug me yeah?" I said snuggling in his arms even more.

I somehow felt safe with him. I didn't know why, but that didn't matter, I just wanted to stay in his arms forever. I guess I fell asleep because when I opened my eyes I was laying down and Harry wasn't by my side anymore. I got up and went to the restroom and took a shower. I got out and got dressed. I went downstairs where my mom was talking to Harry.

"Good Morning hunny." My mom said.

"Good Morning mom." I said and hugged her. "Good Morning Harry." I said

"Good Morning Jocelyn. How did you sleep?"

"Good. I honestly haven't slept a full night in a really long time."

"I'm glad then."

"Honey, I'm going to go run some errands. You mind staying with her Harry?"

"Sure. We have a lot to talk about anyways." He said.

My mom got her keys, said goodbye and left.

"Come on." Harry said grabbing my hand and heading to the living room. We sat on the couch. "I want every detail." 

"Why?" I said a little uncomfortable.

"Because I want to know exactly what happened. I want him to pay for what everything he did to you."

"Okay. So you know how we were fighting about you leaving?"

"Yeah."

"Well when you left I started to walk home, and I guess he heard us. He grabbed my wrist and put me against the wall. He asked me if we had broken up and I just told him to leave me alone. I pushed him away as hard as I could but he was too strong. He asked me again and I just screamed for help. He covered my mouth and took me into the alley. He put me against the wall again and he kissed me. He undressed me and he kissed me everywhere. I yelled for help, but no one heard me. He started to undress himself and he raped me. I could do anything about it. He was too strong. I cried and cried. He hurt me. When he was done, he got dressed and left. I quickly got dressed and ran home. When I got home, I walked in and my mom was waiting for me. I got to her and just cried. I tried to explain thing to her, but nothing came out. After a while, I was able to tell her. She took me to the hospital and he did some tests. He confirmed that I was raped and he asked if I wanted to report it."

"What did you say?"

"I said no."

"Why? Why would you let him still be out there?"

"Because I didn't want everyone to find out, and I didn't want to make things worse for myself."

"Jocelyn, think about how many girls he could have raped by now. You should have done it. I'm really sorry I wasn't there to tell you what to do. God, I hate myself so much!" He said getting up and started to pace around.

"Calm down Harry. I wish you would have been there with me too, but maybe it was for the better."

"How is that better? He should be in jail, paying for what he did to you. Maybe it's not too late to report it."
