It all started on December 31, 2013. I had decided to bring in the year with a few friends, who at the time I thought were my true friends. Just to find out later on that they weren’t. I thought that this was going to be a great way to bring in the New Year; I was wrong.
On the night of the 31st I was getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party that we have at my church every year. I’m always a part of the program, so naturally I was practicing. While I was practicing, I received a call from a friend of mine. She went on and on to tell me all about a party that was being thrown in Magee, MS. Of course I wanted to go.

He was trying his best to get what he wanted, but I wasn’t going to let that happen. I was determined to make sure he didn’t get what he wanted. As I reached out for my friends, I tried to move him and run, but I was getting nowhere. They eventually woke up, looked me in my eyes with fear, and left me there alone in the room with him. I wasn’t going to give up the fight. I was able to move his hand in the process of battling him; I could scream. I assume my cousin heard my cry for help and came to my rescue. He burst through the door, pushed him off of me, and dragged him outside. Eventually my cousin came back inside, he looked at me and burst into tears.
