I felt like I've lost everything... my all...  

M  Y         A  L  L !  !  !                         (O...o")

The man left me the next day.  

I didn't know what to do. I was a dumb and out of mind.  

I didn't even notice that I was halfway home. 

I saw my mom crying. There were policemen and investigators outside and I guess she's asking them to find me. I drew nearer and approached  her.

"Mom. . ." my voice was kinda shaky while my face shows no emotion. 

"My goodness! Reid! My daughter, where have you been?! I was calling you all night but you didn't respond! What happened? Come on, let's get inside!" she held my wrist and guided me in.

"Here, drink it first." she handed me a glass of water. "Come on, tell me. Tell me what happened. Is it about Chad?"

I answered with a loud weeping, "He fooled me. Mom! I was assaulted...  ,-__-,   What am I gonna do now!? There's nothing left! I lost my dignity, I lost myself!  There's no such worth of living! I wanna die! I wanna die!!!" I ran to the kichen and grabbed a knife but mom has restrained me. She took the knife away from my hands.

I cried so much, down on my knees, and was wrapped by my mother's arms. 

"Honey, I promise you, this won't happen again. I'll protect you.  I will never leave you behind. I won't stop until we seek for justice. I will do everything. Everything! We'll be starting a new life. We'll move to New York. You'll never get into danger anymore. I promise. You're the only one that I have right now and I would go insane if I'll lose you. So please, live for me. Live for yourself.  I love you so much Reid. And I am so sorry for what happened. I'm so sorry." 

Being embraced by her arms made me feel better. Without my mom, I would be nothing.

Like what she said, we moved to NYC after couple of days.

Whoops. I'll cut here. Please stay on track.
