I needed to tell someone

[carolinae]

Last night the town I live in had a kind of Halloween festival so people go out dressed up to drink and all that. I was walking home and 2 guys in masks corner me in a house's driveway. One of them started touching me in inappropriate places while covering my mouth. I was crying. The other one then took of his mask and told his friend to stop because I was crying and that was messed up. Guy 2 kind of pushed Guy 1 away from me and kind of whispered sorry or something that I couldn't really hear because I ran away to my apartment which was only a street away. Once I was home I started to panic but managed to fall asleep a couple hours later after showering. The thing lasted for about 5 minutes or less but I got bruises in my cheeks because of how strongly Guy 1 was holding me.

I don't know what to do. I had been drinking but not enough to get drunk. I think i remember Guy 2's face but not enough to do anything about it. I have no names, no faces, there wasn't really any penetration. i think it was a mistake to shower but I couldn't not shower. I feel disgusting. I still feel his touch on me, and I see the marks he left on my skin.

Thanks for anyone who reads this, I needed to tell someone.

First things first, I am so sorry this happened to you. Secondly, if you remember any specific details about them like their voice, clothes, height, eyes etc. you should tell the police. If you're too scared to tell the police by yourself I would recommend going to your parents. I know it's scary, but stay strong.

That is terrible that anyone would do that, and no question that you were violated in a bad way. At least Guy 2 managed to stop Guy 1.

The first thing I will say is that none of this is your fault. The guy who did this to you made a bad choice, and he is the one who was totally in the wrong. Because you were attacked by surprise there was no way you could have gotten a look at the men's faces or done more to fight back.

What I would do is talk to your family and be honest about what had happened. You should go to the police, as the person above has mentioned, and do it very soon giving as much information as you remember about when, where, and how the attack unfolded. I am not sure if they can find the people who did this to you, but chances are if those guys attacked you, then they probably did so to others. At very least, the police can help establish a pattern on this kind of problem.

It would not be a bad idea to talk to someone about what had happened such as a school counselor so that you can get the help that you need.

I would say in the future it would not be a bad idea to enroll in a self defense class so that if anyone ever tries this on you again, then you can make them hurt very badly.

This might hurt but, write or type everything that you can recall from that night. No matter if you were drinking. Then tell your parents and then the police. DO NOT hold anything back. You did nothing wrong. Then DO NOT tell anyone that you talked to the police.

Best thing is to talk to your mum and dad about it then police like other people have said. Sorry it happend to you.
