#ThisIsMyStory Two weeks ago, I went out with a friend. We had a great time, but drank too much. I had been talking to a guy who seemed like a great person. My friend was already too wasted at this point, and I was headed in the same direction. She then stood up to go to the washroom and she couldn’t even walk straight. That’s when we decided to leave the club.
I was the one driving. The “nice guy” offered to walk us to the car. He says I was staggering, so he couldn’t let me drive home. He asked where I live and happened to live around the same area. He offered to drive us, drop my friend home and then make sure I get home as well. He would then take an Uber and go home from there.
Sounded logical so I agreed .Stupid, I know. So we dropped my friend and from that point, I completely blacked out. The next time I woke up he was on top of me, without protection!!! We were in a dingy motel. I told him to stop and pushed him off me. I asked him what he was thinking, and he just kept quiet.
I was so ashamed, I couldn’t imagine something like that happening to me. I just went out, got into my car and left. I kept wondering whether I should go for PEP meds but I was too ashamed. I felt like it was my fault, so I haven’t told anyone anything about what happened that night.
Mark, I am now scared that the guy could even have an STI, and I need to go for a HIV test. My life just changed after that night, but I’m sure his is just going on fine. I’m so stressed out about this, and I can’t talk to anyone for fear of being judged. I pray that he didn’t give me any disease.
Ladies, please take care of yourselves whenever you go out. Look after each other.
