Episode 24

Soon, the second semester ended and we had to go back home again. I managed to write my exams even though I was facing hell with David at home. It became a normal routine for him to just come into my room and take advantage of me. I still kept quiet about it and did not share my pain with anyone. It was beginning to affect my social life and I hates it.

Esther and I were drifting apart. She tried getting me to tell her what was going on with me but I pushed her further away from me. She was the only person among my friends who noticed the changes in my behavior and still stood by me. My other friends just deserted me without warning. I really wanted to tell her what was happening but I was scared she might get hurt and I did not want to put her in any kind of danger.

Our friendship was getting ruined, but she did not want to give up on me. I felt so terrible for lying to her and felt disappointed in myself for allowing all that was happening to happen to me.
