Fernando's POV

Sometimes it's hard to forget your past. I wish I had the power; I would have completely erased that day out of my head, but I don't have the power. Getting raped on my 15th birthday is the worst birthday gift I've ever received all my life.

June 13th, 2008, will forever remain my worst nightmare. Thirteen years had passed by but everything keeps getting fresher in my head like it was only yesterday that it all happened.

"C'mon Fernando, we are not asking you to kill someone, just for you to have fun" I can still hear the voice of Miguel my high school friend as he made fun of me along with my other friends.

"Fernando is a puppet, he is too chicken out" Alverez another of my friend deadpans. The echoes of their voices dragged me down to memory lane and that's exactly where I'll take you to.

Flashback

Alverez threw the ball to Antonio my best friend and he caught it. It was a sunny Friday afternoon and the four of us were playing basketball. "You guys should let him be, he has the right to make a choice" Antonio argued with them and threw the ball to me.

"Exactly, I don't know why they are forcing me into this" I replied and threw the ball to the basketball net and it entered.

"Hey guys" a voice yelled behind us and our heads snaps up to the direction it came from. It was no other than the richest kid in my school named Raphael Gonzalez who always shows off just because his dad is one of the richest politicians in Mexico.

I wonder what he was doing here with his automatic five bodyguards which he made for himself from our school. I don't understand why some students get freaked out with rich kids, I guess is because of the little presents he gets for them.

"Happy birthday, Fernando!" he exclaimed and I furrowed my brows at him.

Did Raphael just say 'happy birthday to me? Did he mistakenly hits his head somewhere or is he high on something? The last time I checked we weren't friends. He grew hate on me right from the onset I got into this high school, so why the change? What makes him acknowledge my birthday?

"I know that look, you are amazed. Well, I'm here to invite you to a party tonight at a private club in town with the name Luciano. You could have fun and celebrate your fifteenth birthday there. See you there!" he smirked and turnaround to leave with his little guards.

I was dumbfounded, Raphael was inviting me to a private party hosted by him on my fifteenth birthday. That's weird.

"Wow!! Someone got a big birthday surprise!" Alverez exclaimed excitedly.

"That's amazing! We'll all be having crazy fun tonight!" Miguel squealed and side hugs me.

"That's new with Raphael," Antonio said staring at me suspiciously.

"Exactly what I'd thought! This isn't going to end well, so I'm not going anywhere" I replied and went to pick up the ball.

"What do you mean you are not going? Are you kidding or what?" Miguel asked.

"He is kidding" Alverez answered.

"I'm serious, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just celebrate my birthday at home with my mom" I replied.

"What?!!" Miguel and Alverez exclaimed and I shrugged.

"You guys heard him" Antonio responded on my behalf.

Antonio is my best friend and he is always in agreement with whatever I say as far is something that is not going to hurt anyone.

"Shut the fuck up, Antonio, no one asked for your opinion" Alverez shunned my best friend.

"You are taking this too serious Alverez. Just forget the party thing and let's continue with the game," I said to them and threw the ball at Miguel for him to catch but he let it fall to the ground. "What's up dude, pick it up" I half-yelled and he frowns at me.

"So, just this once you can't grant us the wish to be among Raphael's wealthy friends? I should have known you are not a good friend all this while. Alverez let's go" Miguel let out and turned to leave, and so also did Alverez.

"What's up with them?" I whispered to Antonio.

"I don't know, I guess they just want to belong even if is just for a day" Antonio replied with a shrug.

"They can go to the party if they want to but I can't go with them" I mumbled and went to pick up the ball.

"They can't go without you, you were the one that was invited and not them. If they should go they'll not be accepted in" he explained to me and I felt vulnerable instantly and squeezed my eyes shut.

"Are you saying we should accept the invitation because of them?" I asked staring at my friend.

"It is only you that can decide that" he replied and I sigh heavily.

"These sucks! I'll call them and tell them we are going to the party" I announced unhappily and brought out my phone to give them a call.

"Are you sure about that, buddy?" My best friend asked and I just shrugged in response. I love my friends, I don't want anything that will ruin our friendship so I just had to make the sacrifice.

Later in the evening, at around 8 pm we were standing in front of a Luciano private club and we were accessed by the bouncers before we were let in. Immediately after we got inside Raphael saw us and he walked up to us all alone without his little bodyguards.

"You came! Estupendo! Come with me" he said grinning widely and he led us to the VIP bar. There we saw other of his friends and his bodyguards smoking and drinking like they were above eighteen. Seeing them this way made me want to turn my back and leave.

"Have a sit" Raphael instructed and my friends took a sit while I stood there contemplating sitting with them. "Fernando, sit down and drink with us. Remember today you are meant to have fun, so let the fun begin" he continued and everyone laughed except Antonio and me.

I slowly went down to sit beside Antonio but then I heard...

"Come sit over here with us, today is a special day for you so I have to treat you special" Raphael said and I stared at him suspiciously.

Something seems awkward with his kindness, but I don't know how to ask him why he's being nice to me all of a sudden. So, I quietly walked over across the table and sat in their midst.

There were different alcoholic beverages on the table for them to drink and I guess he was going to offer me that. "C'mon take any drink of your choice," Raphael said and he kissed a girl that was sitting beside him.

My intuition wasn't wrong after all, he did offer me alcohol.

I shook my head and said, "No, I'm fine. I don't drink alcohol, I'm still underage" I replied nervously and they all burst into laughter. I'm beginning to feel pissed over this game of theirs.

"Don't worry, I know what is best for you and your best friend because I can see your two other friends are already having fun" he replied and I gazed up to see Miguel and Alverez both making out with some ladies with a red cup in hand.

I'm not surprised by their behaviors. After all, they were the reason behind my coming here.

My gaze returned to Raphael who was ordering one of his boys to go get a drink for us, and I wondered what kind of drinks he was bringing. A few minutes later he was back and he handed me a red disposable cup filled with an orange-colored drink and then he gave the second to my best friend.

I smelled it and it wasn't having an alcohol smell so I took a sip of it. It tasted really sweet like some juice. I gazed up to my friend and he raised a brow at me and I nod and told him to go ahead and drink that it was just a normal drink.

"Do you like it?" Raphael asked beside me and I nodded. "I knew you'd like it" he grinned and continued his make-out session with his girlfriend I guess. She looks like someone in our school but I can't tell since I hardly glance twice at the girls in my school.

I took another large sip of the drink and I held the cup in my hands. Suddenly my eyelids started closing but I shook my head and opened my eyes. I took the remaining content of the drink in my cup and placed the empty cup on the table. I tried to gaze directly at my friend but my eyes were so dizzy that I couldn't see clearly if he was there or not.

Voices were beginning to become distinct for me and I couldn't understand why. A few minutes passed by and I felt some arms carry me somewhere.

I was laid down thereafter. I heard some feminine voices sounding like giggles, or they were either singing or quarreling, I can't tell anymore. I groaned softly and try to stay awake to hear the conversation but my eyelids keep getting shut off.

"How could you be so mean and heartless? Fernando is innocent, you can't take away his pride and also take mine. Please, let him go" I heard a faint voice and I tried to force my eyes open to see who these girls were but I think not this time because my eyelids got shut closed again.

The last thing I felt, were hands caressing me. I was too weak to say a word nor move my body and I knew that was my call to blackout.

Waking up the next morning I noticed I was in an unusual room that wasn't mine. Surprisingly I was all alone in the room covered with a duvet. When I glance down, my boxers were gone and my shirt as well.

My cheeks burned red and my eyes were ablaze when I saw I was stacked naked. Right then it dawned on me I've been defiled.

Tears seared my vision and I screamed and cried like a little child for hours in the room. My pride has been taken away from me forcefully. How could they do this to me?

When I realized my tears couldn't bring back my lost pride, I rose from the bed and found my clothes on the floor. Hot tears slide down my cheeks and became more pained.

I wish I knew who defiled me but I have no idea. If only I had seen those ladies' faces I was hearing their voices, just maybe I would have haunted them. But now, there's no way I'll ever know who exactly did it.

Although Raphael and his gang were behind all these. They drugged me just so they can have someone defile me. I wanted to report and file a complaint against them, but I remembered he was a rich kid and his parents could easily buy those in authority or they might even eliminate me to silent the whole sexual assault.

So, I let it go and leave karma to do the revenge.

Flashback Over

I was angry over the girl or girls that would have complied with Raphael's plan. It was so unfair for her or them to defile me just for the fun of it. It made me grow hatred for the female gender and I don't think that will ever change. From that day onward I vowed not to ever love any woman except my mom, she is the only woman I value in my life.

I'm still hurting, and the nightmares still come every day.

"Fernando Perez!" Antonio hits his fist on the table and I jerked from my sitting position.

I glance at him and raised a brow at me. Only then did it come to mind that I was sitting right next to him in my private bar.
