One night he came home very late and drunk.He came to my room opened the door and called up to me.I didn’t answer him then he came to my bed and woke me up by shaking me.I looked at him and saw something diffrent with how he looked at me but I brushed it away it was silly.

Joe,”you have grown now Amelia,me and your mother Anastasia did a great job“.I was very tired I just wanted to sleep .

“Joe can I sleep now tomorrow I’m going to school” I said to him .He said nothing just stood up and left my room.

I went to school as usual.Later that day the unbelievable happened as I was busy cooking for us as he seemed busy with alcohol and didn’t care of I ate or not. He came home drunk again found me in the kitchen. He came very close to me spank my back I couldn’t believe it.

I was very scared I then tried to run outside but he grabbed me and threw me on the ground I screamed for help he placed his strong hand over my mouth, I was crying he tore my underwear it was easy getting there as I was wearing a summer dress. he opened my legs apart and did the unthinkable. He took my innocence,he violated my rights and he broke my spirit. I tried fighting him off me but he was a man very strong I cried till I couldn’t anymore.

After he was done with me he said,”you say this to anyone you will follow your mother”i was more terrified I didn’t know what to do. I went to my room and locked myself in crying myself to sleep. I didnt have the courage to face people the next day so I decided to stay home in my room. I took a shower waiting for him to leave. Finally I heared a car going out then I went out to have something to eat then went back again to my room.My friend came to check up on me because I was not at school I wanted to tell her so much but I couldn’t risk it.

On my way back after walking my friend I found Joe standing at the door; he wasn’t drunk this time I wanted to run and hide but he acted like nothing is wrong and that scare me even worse he was a monster.

Joe,”I hope you didn’t tell your friend about yesterday“. Tears ran down my cheeks I couldn’t speak as yesterday’s horrible event played on my mind I felt dirty I ran to my room but before I could close the door there he was ,blocking it from closing I cried even harder .

He entered and threaten that should I scream he will kill me and kill himself right then .Joe,“yesterday I was a bit drunk I didn’t enjoy you I want to today“,

“please don’t do that you are hurting me” I plead before him but he didn’t listen. I ran around the room but it was of no use he locked the door and took the key,I tried everything fighting him but he was just strong he finally got me and threw me on my bed and took away the little of dignity that I was left of me .Joe sexually assaulted me for months and I couldn’t say anything to anyone.

After some time I went to the clinic as I wasn’t feeling well at school so they sent me to the clinic with a school driver. I found out that I was pregnant I knew that my life was over. I was a 16 years old soon to be 17 and pregnant with my step-father ‘s child .I went home and told Joe that I was pregnant he called me names telling me that I go around sleeping with boys and now I’m pregnant and want to blame him. what he didn’t know is that he is the only men I have ever been with well he forced himself on me.

My life was upside down I didn’t know what to do. He gave me two options either I have an abortion or i go stay with the boy who got me pregnant. He knew very well that he was the father of my baby. I refused to terminate and he threw me out of my Mother’s house. The same men who promised to take care of me did that to me.
