Having a good time ‐‐ Drinking.

I ain't have no kids, I was free.

We drinking and hanging Out at the club.

Left there...

About 3:00 In the morning.

Walking home...

And I realized I had A little too much to drink.

Yep, but I was with my Other friends, we were good.

We got to our street,

And they went on To their house.

I ‐‐ I lived two blocks Down with my auntie, so...

I was good, I could get on home.

I was looking for my key, But I couldn't find my keys.

But I only had two blocks, So I...Kept walking.

And there was this man

In the middle of the block In the street.

I got to him, passed him.

And he say, "Hey, pretty lady, You all right?"

I say, "Yeah, I'm good."

I don't know.

Something About that man...

Made the hair stand up On the back of my neck.

So I started walking A little bit faster.

I wanted to run, But my...

But my feet Wouldn't move, and I...

I could see my aunt's house, And I just wanted to get there.

I looked back, He wasn't moving at first.

And I got over To the house.

I looked back one more time, And here he was coming.

I ran up on the porch...

And I got to the door, And I couldn't find my key.

And I knocked on that door, But my aunt wasn't home.

So I crouched down Over there on the porch...

...And I could Hear him coming.

I heard him pass And I saw him pass.

I don't know Where he went.

But I didn't move.

I stayed on that porch Crouched down for...

For two hours, waiting For my aunt to get home.

She finally came home, High ‐‐ like always...

...And passed out On the couch.

And I thought I was okay.

I...

I locked all the doors.

And then I went in my room.

And I must have gone to sleep, 'cause when I woke u‐‐

When I woke up...

He had his hand On my throat.

And I could feel him Inside of me,

And I finally told her.

And it broke her down.

And a couple Of weeks later...

She went To a 12‐step program,

And she started Going to church,

And I started going To church with her.

And then that's when I found The lord the first time,

I would say, 'cause it helped.

It was making me feel A little bit better...

Until I realized I was pregnant.

Don't nobody...

Don't no mama want To say this...

...But I didn't want you.

I didn't want No rape baby!

I wanted an abortion! I wanted an abortion!

But my auntie, no, Not miss church‐going now.

She said, "Mnh‐mnh, if you want To stay here with me,

You won't be Aborting no baby."

So I didn't.

And I felt lost And scared and alone.

And I started looking

For something In these men, just...

Making mistake after Mistake after mistake.

And then I ‐‐ I was getting Bigger and bigger and bigger.

And then one day, phew!

You kicked me.

And I felt you For the first time.

All that ugliness And all that hate

And all that darkness

That I saw in his eyes In yours,

You were beautiful And innocent...

And pure

And filled With so much light.

And I loved you. I loved you.

But that battle was real, Where you came from.
