Chapter 35: Devastated
We arrived home by 5 PM when we arrived home, we were all tired. We had lunch on our way home so we weren't that hungry. I went Up to my room and relaxed a little, I laid on my bed to rest my head and all of a sudden, I slept off.
Long after I slept off, I opened my eyes and saw it was already dark,
"Shit," I said and checked the time, it was 12:37 AM. I picked up my phone and saw I had 16 missed calls from Jones.
"Oh shit, no no no, I fucked up, I fucked up big time, damn," I said to myself and called Jones, while his phone was ringing, I was praying he picks up the call, luckily, he picked up the call,
"Hello," he said with a very weak voice,
"Jones I'm so sorry I couldn't make it, I didn't know when I slept off," I said but he didn't say anything, "Hello...Hello...Hello," I said but he didn't answer me, and then he hung up the call. I quickly got into the bathroom and took a quick shower, I got my school bag, filled it with some clothes and sneaked out of the house through the window.
While I was heading to Jones's house, I was calling him but he wasn't picking up the call so I assumed he was mad at me. It was almost 1 AM so I could hardly see any car on the road, I walked to a far distance before I finally found a car coming in my direction, I stood in front of the car and waved so the car stopped at my front. Before I went close to the car, an elderly man walked out of the car.
"Hey dear, what you doing out here by this time of the night?" he asked,
"Sir please I need your help, I need a lift, it's really important," I said, the man looked at me and felt I was in trouble so he asked me to come in. The man was so nice that he stopped me at Jones's house. I didn't know how to thank him so I hugged him and quickly got out of the car. I smiled and headed to Jone's house, I knocked but there was no answer, I tried calling but he didn't answer so I opened the door and walked in. I had the confidence to walk in because I knew his parents were out of town.
I quietly closed the door and headed straight to his room, when I got there, I opened the door and met Jones having sex with another girl.
Jones looked at me and became speechless, we both were looking at each other quietly, I didn't know what to say so I turned and ran out of his room, Jones called my name but I didn't answer, I ran out of the house and slammed the door. I ran as fast as I could and stopped in the middle of the road, worse of all, I thought he would run after me but he didn't, so I assumed as soon as I left, he continued doing what he was doing. I was so heartbroken that I couldn't even cry, it was like my heart was broken for real because I could feel the burn in my chest. After the stress, I went through to come and see Jones all I could get was Jones sleeping with another girl. I was so heartbroken that I began to sweat, I was breathing loudly and my heart hurts so bad. Shortly after, tears rolled out of my eyes.
I kept heading home until I got to a place which was a little bit kind of isolated, I was scared of that area but that was the only way to my house so I had no choice. While I was heading home, some men came out from nowhere and surrounded me, I was so scared that I didn't know what to do or say.
"Hey where are you coming," One of them asked,
"I, I, I'm coming back from my friend's house," I said. They were four of them, one stood in front of me, and two were kinda far from me, I think they were trying to make sure no one was coming, while the last one was checking me out.
"I'm going to make this sound very easy my dear, give me all the money you have," he said,
"I swear, I don't have any money," I said fearfully and began to breathe loudly,
"Hurry up man," one of them standing far from us said, then the one checking me out yanked my phone and my bag, then he threw them to one of the men standing far from us. He then tried to touch me but the other man held his hand,
"What are you doing man, she's just a child,"
"Get your fucking hands off me," he yelled and forced his hand from him, then he tried to touch my boobs, but then the other man pushed him away before he could retaliate, one of the men checking out interrupted,
"Someone is coming," he said and they all ran away.
I stood where I was having a panic attack because it was my first robbery experience. I was expecting that the police or someone that could help was coming when the fourth man said someone was coming but no one showed up, I guess he only said that to keep his men from fighting each other.
After an hour, I arrived home. I checked under the rug and the key wasn't there because I sneaked out of the house through the window. I climbed up and crawled back into my house through my window when I got In, I sat on my bed feeling devastated, I couldn't sleep because I was heartbroken and depressed, and worse of all, I was having a panic attack because it was my first robbery experience and sexual harassment attempt.
