Chapter Two

My whole body started to ache in a ‘’pins and needles’’ type of pain and my head was still pounding as if my brain was going to explode out of my skull. What did he drug me with? What is going on? I was so confused and disorientated. Who was this guy?!

He planned this, clearly. He brought drugs on our date. Did he start talking to me on the boat with this intention?! 

Was Jason even his name? Was anything he said true? 

I tried to open my mouth to speak but nothing came out. As I just laid there, I felt him move on top of me slightly and a warm breeze blew across my naked thighs. He had moved my dress up. 

Oh god. 

I heard what sounded like the metal of a belt buckle clanging together as I assumed it was being undone. 

No, no no! 

Forcing my legs apart, he put his knee between them, Blocking any of my attempts to close them again, but I still couldn’t move, even if I wanted to. I felt trapped in my own body. I wanted this to stop, I wanted to stop him, to hit him, to get up, to run, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t do any of those things. 

You hear of these kinds of things happening… but you never think they would happen to you. I felt his hands start to run up my thighs and in one quick movement, my underwear was gone and I was left exposed. 

…and then it happened…. 

With some more fiddling, pulling, moving and a loud grunt, he forced himself inside me. 

I wanted my first time to be special, memorable, romantic. This was neither special nor romantic… it will be memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. This was hell. Pure hell! I wanted to scream, as loud as I possibly could, scream until my throat hurt, but I couldn't make a sound. 

Knowing I was trapped, I just turned my head away and closed my eyes. I felt tears fall across my face and dampen the sand under my head. 

The assault continued for what felt like forever, the pain was so intense, I felt like I was dying. What was he going to do once he was done? I knew his name, his number, what he looked like, my parents knew what he looked like, I'm sure there were cameras around that had seen him… and then a terrifying hit me… was I going to survive this? Or was I going to be another statistic? 

I didn’t want to die…  

Almost like he could read my mind, A strong hand wrapped around my throat and started squeezing. My body still refused to let me move. It was getting harder to breathe and a few gurgling noises escaped my throat. Air felt like it had turned into fair, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head... This was it... This was it!

… and then suddenly, it stopped. His grip around my throat vanished and his waist on top of me was gone. I had just enough strength to close my legs and turned my head, opening my eyes. 

Jason was on the ground, and what looked like a pack of dogs were jumping all over him, biting him, he was screaming, a very chilling scream, I closed my eyes again, what if they attacked me next? Where was their owner?! 

I waited... And waited... Sobbing silently, But nothing happened, Jason's screams eventually stopped but I was too scared to open my eyes and see why and as the blood started rushing back to my head, the dizziness overwhelmed me and I felt myself falling into darkness…
