Who did it?



I take a sit in a quiet cafe at the corner of my street, I suddenly look up and see a picture of a girl who looks just like me. She is crying none stop when I ask her "How can I help you,what's going on?"
She responses with a question "Can you help me erase his filthy kisses or burn away his finger tips from my body?" I wake up from my nightmare and remove my clothes. I look in the mirror and see my body, I feel disconnected from it. I run into my parents bedroom naked my father throws the bed sheets on me but I take them off my mother asks what's going on and I yell
LOOK AT ME!!!!!
My father is the first to see the bruises that run through my body and the bite on my left shoulder.
DAD PLEASE CLEAN ME, PLEASE DAD!!!
He covers me up and carries me into the car with his pajamas still on. He drives quickly to the emergency room and holds my hand.
"Everything is going to be ok hunny I promise" he says. The doctor asks what is wrong with me and the only word I manage to say out loud is "RAPE!" A nurse pulls me away to a small room she hands me a small gown and gets rid of the bed sheets.
"Listen to me I know you are sacred but nothing bad is going to happen anymore," she said as she helped me put on the gown. She left the room and I was alone for what seemed hours. A doctor and my mother come in this time with the nurse my mother stone cold.
"I am going to need you to relax and open your legs slowly if you feel a small pinch that's normal ok relax" said the doctor.  She then asked "w hat did he do to you?" puzzled. She and nurse begged cleaning me and I remember the towels dripping in blood.
"We are done" she said as she took a test tube with her and then the questions began.
When did it happen?
Where did it happen ?
Did you maybe wanted it to happen?
And the last question was the hardest
Who did it?
