UNTIL WE MET ( Pain Was My Companion).

"I am so proud of you Acapella." My mum said while rubbing my hair softly. I was so happy with the attention I was receiving right now.

Mum and Dad are so pleased with me right now and I am happy I pleased them for the first time ever.

Everyone is so proud of me and are giving me compliments, all except for Cruella. The black sheep of this family but unfortunately it's only I who knows her true behavior. To the rest of the family and outsiders, she is the perfect, pure and lovely girl who can't hurt a fly.

Funny right? For that's is the total opposite of her. Even at school, she is the most popular girl going out with the most handsome and popular guy in our school Austin Tucker who happens to be my crush. But somehow Cruella found out about it by sneaking into my room when I was not around and reading my diary and till now she does not hesitate to rub it in my face she is dating a guy that I can never have and could only dream of dating.

Cruel right? but to other people, she's not. In fact, everyone in school wants to be her friend and that sickens me a lot. Why could not they just see her for who she is, A witch.

"Well, I guess being a nun is the only good thing life has to offer you, I mean who would want to date an ugly, shapeless lady like you more so of marrying you?" She asked.

"So, being a Nun suits you since that's the only way you can bring honor to our family" She snickered.

I always wondered what I ever did to her to always want to hurt me in words and treat me like an outsider. Ever since we were young, she had always pushed me away and treated me like trash.

If I told you that people from our high school only knew that we were siblings on the day of our graduation when our parents came to support us, would you believe me? I doubt so. Even when we entered college, she went around telling people I was adopted, she also added.

"How can such an ugly duckling like her be my blood sister?" Those words hurt me so much when I heard them.

Immediately we got home, I dragged her to my room with her struggling of course, and asked her why she hated me and what I ever did to her to treat me like trash. Her response was simple. She said "I hate you because I have to call someone as ugly as you my sister!"

Of course those words hurt me to bones but I just faked a smile and left her room. It's was only Sundays when we were in church I get to be happy because I always get to listen to the word of God.

I mean is not't it fascinating that Jesus walked on water, brought people back to life and turned water to wine and so many more miracles. But then I always asked myself this question.

' If God could do all those, then why did he make me ugly and my sister beautiful?'

Then one day I had the answers to my questions. It was a Sunday afternoon, after service our priest came to announce the form for those who wanted to become nuns were out. And then it hit me, being a Nun was what I was meant for.

Apart from it bringing good image to our family name, it will also make me the bride of Jesus and would also make me be able to get closer to him and learn a lot more about him. So immediately we got home, I told my parents about my decision and I could say for the first time ever, they gave me a genuine smile and ever since then, they have been pampering me a lot, giving me everything I wanted but that did not 't sit well with Cruella.

She loves getting all the attention and is so pissed off at the thought of our parents giving all their attentions to me now as it was supposed to be since I'm the last born anyway.

When we got to school, she went ahead to tell everyone about my decision to be a Nun, a lot of people mocked me saying it was what fitted me especially her minions and she did not 't even bother stopping them, she even joined them in making fun of me and that still hurts even though I am used to it, but lately something surprising has been happening.

Austin, my crush has always been there to defend me anytime some of cruella's minions comes to bully me and he has also been hanging out with me lately and this got Cruella so mad for two days ago she confronted me in front of the whole school but Austin came again and defended me in front of everyone and also scolded her.

Then she furiously told him to choose between her and I . To the utmost shock of everyone including me, He picked me and also declared his love for me in the process. I was so shocked that I almost fainted but he caught me while Cruella ran away in tears with her minions following right behind to console her.

To be honest,I was happy with all that just happened. Finally someone chose me or so I thought.

After we left the scene, I took him to the back of the school and explained to him he didn't have to lie just to save me and then he shocked me again by saying he wasn't lying and was saying the truth. Then he tried to convince me otherwise not to become a nun saying he knows I feel the same way as he does for Cruella told him.

I declined his proposal and told him I already made my choice but he insisted and asked me to think about it for two days and then come and give him my reply at his place then he left before I could refuse.

I was confused and did n't know what to do but then when I saw how my parents were bragging to people about me and the look of pride on their faces, I couldn't do it and immediately texted Austin I was coming to give him my reply tonight.

When it got dark, I left for his house and when I got there, he led me to his sitting room and then I told him of my decision. "I am sorry Austin, but I am going to continue with my wish" I said. "Are you sure this is really what you want?" He asked and turned to look at me. I nodded.

If that's your wish, then I have no choice but to abide by it." He said.

"Really?" I asked in disbelief for I expected insults and disgust.

"Yes" He nodded.

"Oh! Thank you so much" I said smiling at him in appreciation.

"It's okay but to celebrate you having your confirmation tomorrow, let's have a drink" He said. Well since it's was just a drink, I agreed but I told him non-alcoholic and he agreed and got me a fruit juice while he took beer. We drank, laughed and chatted and then suddenly I started to feel sleepy so I got up and told him that I was about to leave and he said okay that he would drive me home and I nodded but suddenly I collapsed against him and he swept me in his arms and headed to what looks like his bedroom where he dropped me on the bed and started taking my clothes off.

Immediately I realized what was happening and started struggling with him but he was far stringer and besides I was drugged.

' He drugged me?' I wondered in fright finding it difficult to believe. I felt my dress leaving my body exposing my chest to the cold air. I started struggling again and muttered.

," Please" I could feel tears threatening to fall but I guess he didn't care for he just ignored and roughly tied my hands up. I winced in pain at his brutal strength,tears rolling down my cheeks.

" Please" I whispered again hoping it will move him but sadly no. He took advantage of me and raped me taking away my virginity in the process.

Why did I have to trust him?

' Oh no' I thought as I passed out.
