I went drinking last night with a friend and we both were there intending to pick up.
We got pretty wasted from drinks these 2 brothers were buying and we went out and around back to the alley to make out a bit.
After a few minutes my friend waved good bye as they went down the alley I guess to go to his place leaving us to have fun.
I was a bit drifty but I remember the clear question was it okay to continue which I told him it was okay.
I woke up to just as he came in me and remember telling him that was okay and he could keep going but I passed back out.
Next I remember a guy trying to flip me over and I told him I’d get sick and I went to wipe my mouth and my hand was on another guys member and he wouldn’t let me let go.
I vaguely recall someone telling me to spread my legs and I said “No it was enough” and I passed out.
I woke up a few hours ago and gathered my clothes and bag.
My friend was at the brothers apartment and they had both had sex with her there but he didn’t say where I was.
She couldn’t ride me home so I got an Uber and I’m coming down and feel like I need to reach out because I’m afraid of what happened and that I might remember more.
Thanks for being there Brave Miss World.

I’m so sorry. This is very similar to what happened to me. How old were the brothers?
Dear Michelle – thank you so much for sharing your story here. I am so grateful to be able to read your story and that you were able to post it here. I’m proud of you for taking the step to reach out here and I would definitely encourage you to reach out more if that’s something you feel like you can do. Remember that you can start small – maybe with a friend or family member that you trust? Or with a therapist or a rape crisis hotline. The thing that I always try to remember is that YOU are in control of what you tell and what you don’t. Sometimes it’s enough to say “something bad happened”. Your only job is to make sure you feel safe and loved and supported. I believe in you and I know you can get through this and heal. Keep reaching out – you deserve that!! Love, Alexis
