Finding 'x'

•Snooping around•

It wasn't the first time he was spouting gibberish about sleeping with me, and I knew it wouldn't be the last time I would be rejecting it either.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you once again Mr. Jide, but I'm not interested in sex with you. Go on to report and watch how I weave through it unscathed and incrim–" I was cut short by the sudden push over the desk and was swiftly pinned there with a powerful grip and his body weight.

Bile crawled up my throat when I realised he was unbuckling his belt to free his fly.

I won't let it happen again... I won't let it happen again... I won't let it happen again.

"You're the most stubborn bitch I've ever seen, I'll have to take it myself if you won't give me." I heard the unzipping of his trousers as I tried squirming out of his surprisingly powerful hold. How he managed to pin me down to the desk with one hand and uncage his fly with the other was miraculous. But I wasn't going to let this happen. I couldn't let it happen. Not again.

"And it's not like you don't want it ooo, you're just playing hard to get. Don't worry, I'll make it nice and slow."

" …..you know you want it baby….shhh, I'll go nice and slow…"

I wasn't going to let it happen again.

His had barely made it to the hem of my skirt before I located an empty Scotch bottle.

"Wait Jide. I'll blow you." I croaked in a voice that was anything but erotic but that was just about what I needed to disconcert him enough to grab the bottle.

It all happened in a split second; I turned around and bashed his head so hard that the bottle smashed in little fragments.

I watched in horror as Jide fell on to me, the scarlet of his blood marring the cream colour of my school shirt...

"You're a home wrecker Ella, how can you say Liam did that do you?" Mother yelled in tears as she helped her recovering husband to a couch.

"He–"

"Shut up Ella, you're trash, just like your father. He would also go out of his way to ruin my happiness."

"Mum, list–"

"There is nothing to listen to Ella, I denounce my relationship to you this moment. You're no longer my daughter!" She'd exclaimed before walking out of the room with her favorite daughter tailing behind.

My attention drifted the monster in the guise of sheep's clothing staring amusedly at me with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Bitch," he'd mouthed, still too weak to use his voice.

"I'll make sure to kill you the next time you try it. I swear on all the things that's holy. I won't let it happen again." I'd said with grim determination and left with a tearstained face to the garage that was going to be my new room.

I wouldn't let it happen again… I didn't let it happen again…..I wouldn't let it happen again… It didn't happen again.

I pushed him off me and walked out of the room in a daze, mentally chanting my soothing mantra and ignoring the painful slur of the man who'd just tried to rape me.

It didn't happen again, I didn't let it happen again. It'll never happen  again
