"come on you remember your birthday red! you loved it!" he said as he held my hands against the wall.
"no i didn't ! i was drugged and raped!" i said as i started to become overwhelmed , i kept fighting him off as i finally pushed him away and ran out.
i sat up and opened my eyes. the cold sweat running down my face helped me realized it was only a dream. i took a deep breath in and wiped my cheek and put my hands over my eyes.
i started to softly sob as my phone started to ring, i wiped my face to pick up my phone and see it was claire .
"hello ?" i asked as i picked it up.
"remember that boy i was telling you was cute ?"
"the new one? what about him ?" i said rubbing my eyes.
"well bitch i found his instagram and ima ask him out tomorrow!"
"bitch it's-" i said as i looked at my watch and seen it was only 7 pm. i sighed and sat all the way up .
"it's what?"
"nothing , go on."
"okay so , imma send you his profile." she said as my phone buzzed shortly after she said that. i put her on speaker and started to look through his page . i accidentally liked one from november in 2019 as my jaw dropped.
"hellloooo bitch are you listening?"
"y-yeah , i'm listening ." i said as a notification instantly came to my instagram as i clicked on the heart and seen that he had returned my like and followed me.
i felt my face get hot as i began to scroll through his page more leisurely . he was a very cute boy , when i bumped into him i seen his face and 𝑰 wanted to apologize.
"damn.." i muttered to myself.
"what , you see something ?" she asked. i forgot i was on the phone.
"damn , i forgot you was even on the phone." i said as i proceeded to follow him back.
"right , so should i get him a gift orrrr should i get him like a card or likeeee .."
"um , a card is basic , but a gift is too much."
"true , true.. umm , flowers..?"
"no , what boy you know like flowers?"
"um hello , ruben in the third grade ? i brought him a flower and he totally sat next to me during carpet time."
"but this not ruben , it's keith." i snickered. just as i said his name he sent me a message. i tapped it as i opened it and read the messages.
keithpowers : hey i'm keith and i just wnated to say sorry for earlier. i'm new in the area and i wanted to know if you could show me around maybe ..?
i quickly responded back.
yntoobad: oh sure ! and it's okay i'm totally over it. i'm yn btw .
he opened it and started typing as my heart started to beat and i quickly swiped out . he sent a text back as i opened it and read it.
keithpowers : awesome ! um , are you allowed to be out rn ?
yntoobad : yes boy i am grown 😂
keithpowers: lmaooooo okay miss grown 😂 send me the addy and i'll be on the way.
my heart dropped when i read that. my involuntary smile turned into a frown , i still wasn't over what happened on my birthday, and being with a boy that close just gives me the creeps now.
yntoobad: actually now that i think about it , my parents aren't home and i don't like being out that much.. um ask my friend claire @ clairebear. she'd be happy to show you around.
keithpowers: okay .. i'll see you at school tomorrow.
yntoobad: yeah you too.
i could just hear his disappointment through the screen. i heard claire scream as i grinned realizing he probably texted her.
"GIIIRRRLLLALALLALALAAAAAA , he just texted me bitch !" she screamed.
"oh word , answer him." i said as i grabbed my yellow hoodie and placed it on. i set my phone up as i let claire ramble on and on .
i made up my face a little as i stood up as i went and grabbed my camera , and set up the timer as i posed really quickly as it snapped the picture.
i picked up the camera and looked at the picture as i took a deep breath and downloaded it into my phone gallery.
"okay bitch , im finna go , i'll talk to you later." claire said as i responded with an okay and hung up.
i posted the picture on my instagram. less than 10 minutes later my phone started buzzing with notifications.

tears filled my eyes and my birthday's event's started to flood my mind as if it happened yesterday. the video , the pictures, him. i rushed to my trash can as i hurled into the bag.
i cried as i kept throwing up. no matter how many showers i take. no matter how many times i brush my teeth. he still feels like he's on me .
he was right.. i truly could not escape him. what he did to me always will remain in my mind. ___________________________________
