I was in JSS 3. He was my friend’s brother and we had met the day before. He called to tell me my friend was ill and requested that I come with some drugs. I got to their house and no one was home but him. My friend wasn’t home either. I asked where he was and he told me my friend had gone out but said I should wait for him. After a few minutes he went out and when he came back in, he locked the door. When I asked why, he didn’t answer. That was when he forced himself on me.
I couldn’t say a word the whole time. I was shocked and couldn’t stop blaming myself for my foolishness at having walked into a trap, even though I didn’t have any idea that it was one. One thing I kept telling myself eventually was that I owed it to myself not to let the experience tie me down or define me.
I must say God took away any anger or bitterness before it took root in my heart. It’s been 16 years now and I’m doing fine.
