im such a procrastinator.. i still have mucho shit to do lol..

ok i need all of your opinions!! tell me what you think of this story..

My name is Kendall. I guess you can call me your average teenager. I love music, movies, and boys. I rebel against my mom. I live to hang out with my friends. Everything a sixteen-year old girl should be. I never thought that it could happen to me. Its just one of those things you hear about. You say “how sad.” You say “poor thing”. But when it happens to you its everything.

It’s been a year now. But I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It started out just like every other day: mom comes in to wake me up, I don’t get up until five minutes before the bust comes, and I make it out the door just in time. Yep, it was a typical Friday morning. The day went by slowly. Minute by minute I yearned for the bell to ring. Finally it was 12:15. Lunch. I met up with Jeremiah, my best friend since I was 3 years old. She was bursting with good news. There was going to be a huge party that we were invited to! It was being thrown by, none other than the beautiful, the perfect, Jake Ryan! I had been in love with him ever since the first day of school last year. I was lost, and he stopped to help me, a lowly freshmen, find my way to the assembly. Ever since then when I saw him in the hall with his buddies, after school practicing with the football team, I knew he was my dream guy. I was so excited to be going to a senior party, especially one thrown by Jake.

The rest of the day was a blur. I was just itching in anticipation for the last bell to ring at 2:30. I thought it would never come but when I heard the bell after math class I couldn’t get out fast enough. I met up with Jeri in back of the school and we rushed off to get house to get ready for our big night. We had it all planned out. I would tell my mom I was sleeping over at jeri’s house and we were going to watch movies and eat popcorn all night. It sounded great to us and to my mom, because when I called her she seemed happy with it.

We went through both of our closets, throwing clothes everywhere looking for the perfect outfits. Finally, after trying on about fifty outfits each, doing and re-doing our make-up and hair, we were perfect. We looked about 5 years older than we were, and we couldn’t have been more excited. We were lucky that Jake lived about 5 blocks away from Jeri’s house, because it would have been really hard to explain our new makeovers to her parents.

I can still remember being so scared as we rang the bell. My heart was beating so fast as we walked through the house. There were so many rooms, so many people. I don’t even think half of those people even went to our school. We were there for about 10 minutes before I saw him. It was like there was a glow around him. You could almost call it angelic. Yes I know, this sounds corny but its how I felt.

The music was loud and there were people dancing everywhere, on tables on the stairs. It was wild. There was lots of alcohol. I wanted so badly to come off as cool to all the people there, so I thought ‘what could one harmless drink do?’ So I just walked around holding that one drink and pretending to drink it.

I don’t remember how long I was there when I went around looking for Jeri. I knew she went to the bathroom but she hadn’t been back for a while. That’s when I ran into him. Jake. I was speechless. He seemed impressed that I was there and I was drinking. I liked the way he was smiling and laughing when we were talking. Then, what I was wishing for. Jake asked if I wanted to go somewhere quieter where we could talk. There went my heart again, beating onehundred miles a minute as we walked up the stairs into an empty room. I recall putting my drink down on the nightstand and looking around the room. Jake asked me what kind of music I liked and said I could go over to the collection he had in the corner. He had some really great CDs. I picked one out and he put it in the stereo. I went back and finished off my drink. We must have gone through about 7 or 8 songs before I noticed I was feeling a little bit funny. I knew it must have been the beer, but thought nothing of it. Jake noticed and asked if I wanted some water. I said that I was fine. I knew I wasn’t but I didn’t care. It was then that Jake kissed me. His lips were so sweet. But then he started to unbuckle my belt. This made me nervous so I asked him to stop. But he didn’t. I tried to stop him but he was too strong. I couldn’t push him off. I felt so weak. That’s when I blacked out. The next thing I remember was waking up. I don’t know how long I had been asleep for. I looked around for a clock. It was 12:30. I started to get up but I was still woozy. I sat for a second until I felt okay to stand up. As I started to walk I noticed how much pain I was in. It was then that I realized what had happened. I started to panic. I went down and looked frantically for Jeri. God it seemed like forever before I spotted her dancing in the middle of the living room. I half ran half-walked over and grabbed her arm and cried out that we had to leave. When we got back to her house I started to cry and told her everything that happened.

The next day my mom took me to the doctors where I had a thorough exam and a drug test. It was confirmed that I was raped. The drug that Jake used to manipulate me was called Rohypnol.

To this day I still can’t believe what happened. I don’t know how I could have let this happen. I still go to counseling sessions and I have come to realize that it was not my fault. It took a long time to realize that. I know I will have to live with the memory of what happened that night, I still have nightmares of it and I can remember details that happened when I blacked out. My life has changed forever, but that doesn’t mean I can go back to living my life, one day at a time.
