"I won't, I promise.", I said shakily. I had to say the words he wanted to hear if I didn't want to get myself hurt or my reputation ruined. He went out of the gate and waved goodbye. I waved back and gently closed the door behind me. I was about to head back to our friend Eric's room when I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the corner of my eye. I stood in front of the living room mirror, looking at the girl on the other side. I stood there, not moving, I don't know for how long. "Disgusting", I muttered. I moved closer to the mirror to take a better look. My hair was disheveled, my lipstick smudged, my lips bloody, my eyes empty. Empty. I wish that emptiness would reach my heart. I felt betrayed, angry, afraid, used, abused. A true story about rape, survival, love and healing.
