Chapter 20- Stolen Innocence
I woke up to the sound of a girl yelling my name. My vision was blurry but I saw a silhouette of a long haired girl kneeling over me.
"Zoe!" She shook me a few times.
"W-what?" I stuttered out.
I rubbed my head and slowly sat up with her supporting my back. When I regained my vision, I saw that she was a girl from my math class. She sat across from me for the first semester.
"Are you okay?" Her eyes were red.
"Y-yea. What happened?" I looked around and saw that I was in the girls bathroom. Why was I in here?
"I walked in here and you were unconscious on the floor without pants or underwear on."
I took in her words for a few seconds and started to regain my memory. I had run into the girls bathroom because I was being chased by a guy. I was alone in the stall, vulnerable as all hell. He had knocked me out.
Oh no...
He had raped me...
"Zoe?" She asked.
"I... have to go." I stood up. "Thank you so much for helping me."
Before she could stop me, I had ran out of the bathroom. I looked around the empty school and my vision went blurry. I continues to stumble around the school until I felt sick to stomach. I couldn't stop thinking about the guy using my unconscious body. I had no control over what he did to me.
I went into another bathroom and threw up. The though of having to see this guy at school the next day made me even more sick. After about 20 minutes, I had finished throwing up into a school toilet.

When I got home, I saw that no one was home. When the front door closed behind me, I collapsed to the ground and formed a puddle of tears next to my face.
I slowly lifted myself from the ground and stumbled to the kitchen. I needed to numb the pain I felt.
I looked inside all of the cabinets until I found one packed with bottles full of alcohol. I grabbed an empty water bottle that was sitting in the recycling and started filling the water bottle with different kinds of alcohol until it was full.
I took the water bottle and a container of pills then went to my room. My main intention was not to die, it was to numb the pain.
I sat on my bed and chugged the bottle and slowly took pills. Before I knew it, the water bottle was empty, and the bottle of pills were spilled all over my bed. I had taken the pills like someone would eat a bag of chips.
My vision blurred around me as I looked around my room. Everything was distorted. I tried to stand up but instantly I fell to the ground. That's when I knew something was wrong.
I looked around my room until I saw my phone. I couldn't stand up so I pushed myself over to my phone with the best of my ability. Once I got my phone, I instantly dialed Bree's number and told her what I had just done. I was yelling and crying at the same time.
"Help me!" I managed to yell.
"What's going on?! Are you okay!?" She sounded extremely concerned.
"I fucked up! I feel sick."
"What did you do!?"
"Alcohol, pills."
"Zoe! I'm coming over right now!"
Before I could say anything, she hung up the phone. After a few minutes, I heard the front door open. I had forgotten to lock the front door so she could just walk in.
"Zoe!" I heard a guy voice call.
Fuck she told Corban.
They both came into my room and saw me laying on the floor drowning in my own tears.
"What happened!?" Bree yelled as tears flowed from her eyes.
"I just wanted to numb the pain." I cried out while holding my stomach and curling into a ball.
" We need to get you to a hospital." Corban said.
"No! Please no! I don't want my mom to find out about this. She will never trust me again."
"Did you eat anything today?" Bree asked.
"No."
"Corban go get her some food and water."
Bree held me in her arms as Corban got me food and water. We were both in tears as I lied on my bedroom floor in physical and emotional pain.
Corban brought me a banana and a water bottle. I felt like a baby as they had to feed me and give me my water. Eating helped the physical pain a lot so I started to calm down.
After I finished my food and water, Bree lifted me on to my bed and put the covers on me. Corban got on one side of me and Bree got on the other. They both held me tight and I felt myself slowly drift to sleep.
What would I do without them.
