We get to my apartment building and start walking up the stairs. "No, I can't do it," I stop in my tracks. "Can't do what?" he says, turning around. "I can't tell Anna, I just can't." "You haven't told her?" he asks, perplexed. "No, I didn't want to tell anyone..until I wasn't safe." "Y/n...did it happen more than once?" he looks at me with concerned eyes. I nod my head and look down. I feel heavy like I can't walk. "I don't know what to say," he says, "I'm sorry. I, I wish I could make it okay. I wish I knew how to help". He walks down to me. "We have to tell your sister... Come on," he says, putting his hand on my back. Suddenly, I feel lighter and walk up the stairs. When we reach my apartment, I unlock the door and see Anna and Tom sitting on the couch. "Hey, guys," Anna says. "Hey," I say putting my stuff down, trying to act normal. We join them on the couch. Haz nudges me. I shake my head. "Anna, y/n has to tell you something," he says. "Okay, what? Is everything okay?" she says. I stand up and head for my room. "Y/n, if you don't tell me what's going on-" she starts. "Okay!" I yell, " I got raped. There, I said it". "What? You better not be kidding with me," she says, upset. "I wish I was," I say. All eyes are on me. "What happened? I mean, how could this happen?" Tom asks. "When I went to Isaac's house, he, um...yeah," I say, avoiding eye contact. "Well, did you call the police?" Anna asks. "No, I didn't really see a reason to," I say. "What?!" she yells. "Anna, calm down," Tom says. "Ya know, this is why I didn't want to tell you," I say, going to my room. "Y/n!" they call after me.
