Experiment

Chapter twenty-four

I couldn't believe it. Why would someone rape me? What did I do?

I was still crying when Jabu and I arrived at reception. Jabu had called this lady on our way here and explained everything to her.

"Would you like me to contact your mother?" she asked me smiling. If she finds out about this, she's gonna be so devastated and that is the last thing I want right now. "No," I reply.

"My baby, we need to contact a family member. Be it a parent or sibling," she told me. Noma. No. I can't do that to her. She just got engaged. Imagine receiving a call and being told that your younger sister has been raped. Tense.

"I don't want my family to know," I snap. "Okay okay. I'll respect that," she says and leaves me with Jabu. At the door, she whispered something to Jabu.

"A nurse is coming to check on you," he says and sits next to me. He had wrapped me in a light blanket and carried me all the way here.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asked. The memory was so fresh in my head. It played instantly at the mention of the question.

"I walked into your dorm. He was naked. So I apologized and looked down. He carried me and laid me on the bed. He spread my legs, laid on top of me and started kissing me. I said no over a million times and I tried pushing him. He lifted my skirt and moved my thong to the side before he slipped his fingers into me and I cried and screamed making him cover my mouth.... He then spread my legs and thrusted into me, Jabu. My whole body throbbed at the feeling and I started kicking. He gripped my legs and thrusted harder into me. I tried wiggling him out, but it didn't work. That's when you walked in," I said and started crying all over again.

Jabu's hands were fists and his jaw was clenched. Clearly, he was angry. Beyond angry actually. "Please don't be mad," I please. "I'm not," he says. The anger was so clear in him.

I pushed myself closer to him and he hugged me. "I have to go," he says. Ouch. "Okay," I say. "Jabu wait," I call as he gets up. "Don't do anything stupid," I beg. "I won't," he responds. "Promise me, Jabu," I sob. "I promise, Maya," he says and disappears. Great. Now I'm all alone with my thoughts.

"Hey, are you fine?" a fine lady asks me. She was pretty. She wore a formal dress and pumps. Her face was full of make-up and she carried a little bag.

She handed me a clipboard with a sheet. It wanted a statement. "Sorry, I don't wanna write about it," I say. "Love, this school already knows about it. Relax, okay? This is for hearing purposes. And we're also gonna keep it for you. Well, just in case you wanna take it to the police," she informs me.

Police? No. No fucking way. I write exactly what happened on the paper and hand it to her.

The door opened. Lea. What was she doing here? What the fuck?

"Aw, my baby," she said as soon as she saw me. I started crying alllll over again. Fuck. She was crying with me. I missed this. I missed crying with my childhood best friend.

After the lady tested me for any type of STD, me and Lea left. "Do you wanna go to your dorm?" she asks me? "Yeah," I reply.

We got to my dorm and Lesedi wasn't there. Perfect. I undress and Lea's eyes didn't leave mine. "I wanna go shower," I say as I put on my gown.

"Shower with me?" I ask. "I don't have any clothes," she replies. "You'll wear mine," I say. "Okay. But can we go to a hotel? I don't feel comfortable here," she says.

I dress while she packs a few clothes for us. I also grab my laptop. "Wait. I can't find my purse," I say. "Where is it?" she asks. "Follow me," I demand as we walk to the door.

We walk to his dorm and I knock. "Maya, are you okay?" he asks. "I'm here to fetch my purse, Ora," I say not making eye contact.

"Oh yeah," he says and disappears into his room. "Here you go," he says and hands me my purse seconds later. I take it and we lock eyes. I pull the purse and he also pulls. "Fucking let go, Oratile," I snap. "I love you," I hear him say as I walk away.

"He loves you?" Lea asks. Wait. Did he actuallyjust say that he loves me? Wild. "You'd better tell me what the hell you've been up to," she demands and I laugh. As always, my dumb best friend, Leago made me feel better. I fucking love this girl.
