I was 15 y/o and had gotten into some form of trouble at boarding school so I was sent home for two weeks. It was the midterm test period and I was quite a deep sleeper. On my first night at home, I slept in the Children’s quarters, My parents’ room was at the other end of the house and they were utterly displeased with me anyways so I couldn’t even bother my mom, who usually would have been my alarm clock, and because school was in session, my other siblings weren’t at home so I told my male cousin who lived with us and was being sponsored in school by my parents to wake me early around 3am in order for me to revise a bit before heading out to school.
I had been drinking a bottle of something I found in my sister’s wardrobe the night before, after being berated by my dad for my drama at school. Anyways, I hid the bottle beneath my bed because I didn’t want my mom coming in and finding it. I woke up to cold fingers inside of me and a very rough palm grabbing my inner thigh, I tried to move and wiggle but his heavyweight was bearing down on me and when I wanted to shout he slapped me, I was on low cut but he was still grabbing violently at my hair and head together, we kept at the struggle and I wouldn’t even say I overpowered him, I just somewhat hit his privates with my legs and he stumbled back a bit pushing me to the other side of the bed, I fell and hit my head but I was able to grab on my empty bottle.
I shouted at him to turn on the lights else I’d break my bottle on his head, he did and he was stark NAKED! I didn’t even notice until that moment that my dress had been cut clean in the middle from the neck down to the knees and I was bleeding from my mouth from his slaps and my face from his scratch and my body too from the struggle on the bed. He finally spoke and said he was only trying to wake me up, I told him to leave, he left insisting that he was only trying to wake me up.
