The Beginning

Sometimes life takes you through things you wish never happened, for me it was my last toxic relationship. Let me start at the beginning.

Hi, my name is Emory Choi-Black I am a 20 year old. I am Jamaican and Korean, Mother being Jamaican and Father, being Korean.My parents apparently met in Korea whilst my mother was working in the Korean army to help pay for her university bills and my father, a businessman. I've never met them though as I am adopted, by two men, my Dad and Father Harry and Adrian. I love them so much and I appreciate everything they have done for me.

Anyway, I have always fanaticized about being in a happy loving relationship, since I was 15. My Father’s love for one another, was my inspiration I always looked up to their relationship however, their love was clearly rare because the only relationship I was in was a complete and utter disaster.

It was 2021, I was in Media class and I sit next to a guy named Gio Lopez and unfortunately, that day was my biggest mistake. The day went on like normal up until lunch. Gio, the guy whom I sit next too in Media, struck a conversation with me. It was not really anything memorable but all I remember was him walking up to me confidently and leading the conversation. Which I must admit, it was attractive that he was able to hold a conversation with me considering I was barely talking to him.

Anyway, the next day all he did the entire day was try to get my attention and unfortunately it worked. However, at the time I didn't see anything wrong with him or the situation because he was really and I mean really good at hiding his intentions.

I finally give in and talk to him, god I wish I didn't, looking back now. Our conversation was flowing, we were laughing and to be frank, I was happy at the time.

Throughout high school, guys did not converse with me. I was not the best looking and I often kept to myself so going into college, a guy talking to me was shocking,. Personally, I liked it like that so until Gio, I never talked to guys unless I needed to for a group project.

Two months passed, me and Gio were getting really close. He took me out on dates and even brought mev my favourite things. I started to really like him, all the love and affection he gave me blinded me to the point I would ditch my friends to be with him. I felt horrible, lost my friends and self-respect. I started to lose all of my independence I became very dependant on him, it was really bad.

One day, he took me out on something that was suppose to be a date, well that was what he had told me at the time. Looking back now, it was clearly a set up for what happened that day,. He took me to dinner; sweet talked me, even brought me gifts. I felt so loved. I seriously thought what we had was love, turned out to be a joke the ENTRE time.

Talking about what happened that night, give me PTSD. I hate talking about it, I feel dirty and ill every-time I speak upon it.

We finished our ''date'' and he ended up taking me to a cabin, I know I should not have

followed him there but I thought I could trust him, we were dating. As we got inside the cabin, he pushed me on he bed and without asking me if I wanted to partake in intercourse with him, he just ignored my cries and raped me. Hours went by and I was not able to move, him and his friends were taking turns on me as if I were a blunt

I felt humiliated.

Fortunately for me, I screamed loud enough for a 6,4 man to kick down a door in horror. Gio and his friends attempted to run but this mysterious guy had already called the police as he suspected something was happening. As Gio and his friends were dragged out by the police, the guy ran towards me whilst taking off his jacket and said.

''****, I am so sorry you had to endure that, you are strong.'' As he said that, I passed out. I was exhausted, I went through 3 hours of un-consensual sex.

5 hours later, I wake up in a humongous room with a man holding my hand while sitting on a chair next to the bed I was sleeping on. Before I say thank you, I said,

'' Lay next to me''.

The man did not respond, he was still asleep as he stayed up all night to ensure Emory is okay and safd.

“I can't believe he stayed with me the entire time I was asleep I don’t even know him. Why is he doing this for me he could’ve easily left me to suffer but he didn’t.”

The mysterious guy woke up and stares at Emory.

“ hey are you good now? I was really worried about you back there I’m glad I came in time.” he whispered with his raspy morning voice.

“ hey yeah I’m good I’m just wondering how did you even know I was there?“ Emory shamefully said.

” I heard people talking about a scream I was on a walk. I usually take a walk in forest because it’s quiet and no one could bother me”

It goes silent, none of them talk they just look at one another. Emory taps him on his shoulder and says

“ Hey, can you lay on the bed with me we can put a wall In between us, don't worry.”

He turns his head in confusion. “Uh sure” he says as he pulls himself up onto the bed using his entire body weight.

“Shit he smells good”

“Sorry, what did you say?”.

Emory slowly turns her head towards him, and embarrassingly says; “Shit, did I say that out loud I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to, it was meant to be my head”.

The man lets out a chuckle. “Gosh, you are a facinating woman aren’t you darling.”

“ anyway sweetheart, I have to run I have someone who could drive you back home please be careful”

As he says that he gets out of the bed and leave the bedroom leaving her confused.

“What just happened?” Emory thinks to herself as she hears the door slam behind the man.
