My sister and her boyfriend were together for years before it happened. So I looked up to him, like an older brother or even a father. (since mine wasn't around at the time) We always did things, went swimming, got ice cream, went on road trips. You know, the usual things families do together. He leaned on me sometimes though, told me his relationship problems with my sister or stress he had at work. We had become pretty close.
A few months after I had turned ten, it was storming and there was a lot of lightning. So we went up to the beach and watched the lightning over the lake while my sister was at work. (These random adventures were normal) But one thing different happened that night that would change my life forever. We got to talking, music was playing. I thought it was pretty romantic, really. Then he leaned over and kissed me and I got a little frightened. and thats when he grabbed me and raped me, I won't go into any more detail because it still shakes me to this day.
I trusted this man with my life, I never thought he would hurt me like he did. In fact, I didn't think that kind of pain existed. But I never told anyone about what happened that night. Mainly because he kept in touch afterwards, (he broke up with my sister a few weeks after the incident) he would tell me things like how he loved me, and how he would wait for me. He did this for about a year or so. I thought I was in love, I know now that I was brainwashed.
I'm going on 18 now, and have been with my boyfriend for 2 years. I want him to know, but I'm afraid of how he will react. And if you're wondering, my sisters boyfriend was around 20 at the time. This man has haunted my life for years and stole my childhood. I just needed to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening
