Tragedy

Living in New York, everything is money. My parents would work all day everyday to provide for their three kids. We would go to school and teach ourselves how to do homework. If we needed help we'd have to figure it out ourselves because my parents didn't really understand english. Despite all that we managed to all be straight A students. At times I would be placed in free afterschool programs to help with homework or just keep me busy. Leaving the afterschool late one day I met one of my family members I used to hang out with a lot. We all did,my brother,my sister and I. No one would ever suspect how sick he really was. He invited me to hang out and play video games afterschool and not knowing better I said yes. I told him to tell my mother I was going over there. He answered "she's already over there". We arrived and there was no one to be found. Just an empty apartment. He explained that she might have probably made a store run and offered me something to drink. I accepted his offer and after a couple of minutes I lost conciousness. I blacked out and woke up a while later on a bed naked in a dark room. I felt pain and confused. In that moment I wasnt sure what happened but I didnt feel the same and I know I had been used. I walked out of the empty apartment and walked home confused and disgusted with myself. I got home and was greeted by my mother's screams. "Why are you late!" she screamed. I couldn't speak. I just burst into tears. I couldn't explained what happened but I couldn't speak. She kept asking and asking and all I could do was cry. Soon enough I began to write about what had happened to me and she hit me. She told me to stop lying and that I could get people in serious trouble if i I made lies like that up. She told me to never tell anyone and for a long time, I didn't. I've never felt so alone, my own mother had called me a liar. Who else would I trust if not my own mother? I began missing homework assignments,sleeping more,eating more, smiling less. I lost control of my emotions., didn't care about anything and Ive lost my innocence. I never felt the same after that.
