I met him at the bar. He was fun. Had blue eyes, a great conversationist, good kisser too. I got a bit tipsy. He wanted to do more than kissing. I told him I wanted to call it a night and left, planning to hail a taxi outside. I didn't know he'd followed me out. He pulled me to the deserted angle of the building, one hand over my mouth. He kissed me forcefully. He pulled my mini skirt up and felt between my thighs while I kept struggling. He f**gered me. He blamed me for reacting to it, calling me derogatory names.
I cried.
I yelled. I said NO. I begged. I pleaded.
He said I reacted to it and therefore I wanted it. He kissed me some more. I struggled for help and screamed some more even when he hit my cheek. Someone passing by spotted us and hollered. He released me and dashed into the night.
I cried. I screamed. I couldn't eat or talk to anyone for days. I kept saying it was my fault. But I realized it wasn't. I didn't give him consent. I told him no. I struggled, I screamed, I cried.
It wasn't my fault.
It's been three months and I keep telling myself it wasn't my fault.
