There I was, hugging myself in tears, and sitting on the toilet. He kept knocking on the door of the toilet, demanding for me to open. I always heard the stories but I never thought it would happen to me...my step father raping me? The doorbell rang and I heard his retreating steps out of my room and down the hall. I used that as a means of escaping, grabbed my jeans and a top and jumped out of my room window.
My name is Tola (not real name). I know you might say this happens but really, I only saw it in the movies and never thought it would happen to me. It started two months ago when my mother had gone on one of her long trips and we (I and my step dad) had just had dinner. He called me into his room and before I knew it, he was on top me and I was deflowered. He continued whenever she wasn't around and I tried getting my mother's attention, but she was always busy.
As I escaped through the back and trekked to my cousin's place that wasn't too far, I remembered that I had not seen my period for two months and from my biology class, I knew too well, what that meant.The doctors confirmed it a week after, when I fainted and was rushed to the hospital by my mother. I was pregnant for my mother's own husband.
What am I going to do? Even as my mother stared at me in shock, and her husband looked on as she questioned me,I just couldn't form any words. How will I tell my mother that suffered so much after my father died to take care of me that the man she loved so much got her daughter pregnant? What am I going to do?
