Date Rape

Right now, I’m on this sight to help me with my victim impact statement. And I suddenly felt the need to share, there are so many brave people on here.
November 30th I was raped. I’m 16. And we went to school together. He was 17. And he came from a good home. Everyone in school knew and liked him. And I had been through some rough relationships. Him asking me out seemed like such a great thing for me.
I hung out with him after school. the plan was to go scrap stuff and go trailing. But he took me to his house. At first it was harmless kissing, and I was okay with that. I liked him and I trusted him. And he kept touching me, and he wouldn’t stop. I repeatedly said “no, __, stop” I felt like I was mute. It was like I was screaming and he couldn’t hear me. He never got violent. And I never screamed. But I kept saying no. I told him repeatedly that I didn’t want to, and at first he pretended not to hear me. He then told me he didn’t care. And I froze. I wasn’t expecting that? What was I supposed to do? I wanted it to stop so bad. He took off my pants and his. I was also on my period. I tried to use that, and he still didn’t care. He just penetrated me anyway. I didn’t even move, I was emotionless and I felt numb. I just kept saying no, and stop. And He didn’t stop. He finally did, and it felt like it took hours.. We left his ho use. We didn’t talk for the rest of the day. We never talked again actually.
