My story: I was sixteen years old, two weeks before my seventeenth birthday and one of my good friends parents were out of town. She decided to have a girls night at her house and told me at lunch when my other best friends current boy was sitting next to me, Will. That night I went to my friends house and Will and his brother showed up with some alcohol and some friends. I had never had a drink in my life and my parents don’t drink or do drugs or smoke or anything, so it was all new to me. Jake handed me a drink and I took it not knowing what to do because I had never been to a party. After I had my one drink I wasn’t feeling well so I went to bed with my friends fourteen year old sister in a twin sized bed. The next morning my friend Nicole had to come in and tell me she pulled Will off of me and the fourteen year old girl witnessed Will raping me. I wasn’t wearing pants when I woke up. I panicked but didn’t know what to do, so I told my best friend, who was dating Will. I kept my mouth shut. A week later the rape was reported because my friends could see the toll it was taking on me and them. The case went to a state attorney and Will and his brother lied, which resulted in the case being closed. My family and I got an injunction against him, but it resulted in me switching schools and leaving behind an Editor-and-Chief position for my school newspaper.
