Sexual Harassment Stories and Experiences

Hope, VA

     I remember when I was a little girl, about 14, and I would go over to my friends house, and we would make cookies.  Her mom and my mom were really good friends.  Often times my friend’s Mom would leave us alone at her house, and my mom wouldn’t mind because she trusted her.

     Well, on particular cold & snowy day, my friend and I were playing outside in the snow with a bunch of other guys.  We were all getting cold, so me and my guy friend Jacob (not his real name) went in to make hot chocolate.  After we started the tea kettle, I ran upstairs to my friends bathroom to go to the bathroom.   I little later, I  heard heavy breathing outside the bathroom door.   So I opened it, and there was Jacob putting a condom on, and standing right there in front of me. He immediately grabbed me and threw me on the bed. He kept forcing me to lay down, and he kept trying to pull my clothes off.   I would shakily try to put them back on, but I was so shocked, it was difficult. He finally slapped me, and I couldn’t stand it. So I just laid there numbly while he rapes me. I was so  petrified.

     Finally, he smiled and gave me one last slobbery kiss and put my clothes on first, (he put them on me I guess to touch me more) then he put forced me to put his clothes on him.  Once he was dressed, I immediately ran downstairs and made the hot chocolate. He came down next to me and acted like everything was normal.  I was shocked and I hurried outside, with him calling “don’t you tell anyone or I’ll force you to ‘do it’ with me again.”

     I had a strong relationship with my friend, and after we all finished the hot chocolate and everyone went home, I sat there, and she came up to me and asked me questions like “did you and Jacob kiss? You guys were in there for a long time.” I finally cracked and told her what happend.  She was amazed. She immediately called Jacob’s mom, and my mom, and her mom. I was so surprised how she acted so calm and supportive. Then once again, I told them all the story.

     Everyone was shocked, and Jacob was sent to military school, and now me and my friend have a better bond than ever.  I am always thankful for my friend, and her calmness and that I felt like I could share what happened with her. I have never seen Jacob again, and I hope I never will.  Me and my friend are now in college, and we share the same apartment room, as roommates.  Me and her made a rule that we will never leave the other alone with a guy unless he has been approved by the other, and we both always make hot chocolate with each other, and never alone.

     However, I cannot get rid  of that horrid memory, and I don’t think anyone can understand exactly what I went through that day.
