My best friend’s brothers are rapists. Two years ago, I followed my best friend’s family on their December vacation. She has two elder brothers. I had never seen the eldest brother before, but we did chat on social media; he resides outside Nigeria. Fast forward to the December vacation, I got to meet all her family members (except the eldest; he wasn’t around still). It was a really sweet experience, and I was having fun until her second elder brother tried to lure me one of the nights. He even forced a kiss on me and was forcing his way into my pants. I gave him a serious warning, and he respected himself for the rest of the holiday, so I kept it to myself because I thought I had it under control.
After the trip, this boy kept sending me links to porn sites and saying nasty stuff in my DM. I told my best friend I wasn’t comfortable; she warned her brother, but he didn’t stop. What surprised me was that I went to visit her at her house, and even in the midst of other family members, the guy managed to drag me forcefully to his room and was forcing himself on me seriously. He stopped because I was already screaming for his mum. I stopped visiting my best friend because of her brother, though I didn’t tell her. Her brother tried raping me under their roof in the presence of everyone around. I only visit her when I know her brother won’t be around.
Long story short, my bestie’s father died this year, and I have been going to her house frequently for emotional support. Until last week, I met her eldest brother who has been overseas. We were already familiar with each other; the vibe was twice as good seeing him for the first time in reality. He even asked me when I would be free to hang out. I told him, and we hung out (just the two of us). There was no awkwardness, and I was very comfortable. Fast forward to Saturday, I went to visit as usual. I informed my friend beforehand, but she didn’t tell me she wasn’t around. I met just her eldest brother at home, so I decided to wait. That was when it all happened: my best friend’s eldest brother raped me.
I begged and begged him that I wasn’t interested and didn’t give my consent. He told me he didn’t fucking need my consent and started rough-handling me. He asked me if I knew how long he had wanted to fuck the hell out of me, and he wouldn’t miss the opportunity now. And after r^p!ng me, he had the mind to ask me to be his girlfriend and said he’s in love with me. He said he thinks about me all the time and masturbates to my pics. He even had the audacity to come to my house to visit. He has come twice, and I refused to let him in. I don’t know what to do in this situation; I never thought I would ever be a victim of rape by my bestie’s brother. I don’t know who to tell.
Do you think I should tell my best friend what her brother did to me? Let’s not forget both her brothers: one was unsuccessful, and one was successful. My bestie’s two senior brothers are devils. I am truly traumatized.
