The Fight

“I can’t do this anymore. You’ve ruined me more than enough, why are you not backing out?” He yell at the top of his voice, pressing his back hard against the wall. Fear is written all over him, his forehead is covered in sweat and his whole body quivers. He stares at the woman standing before him, half naked. The look on his face shows pure disgust and resentment.

“How dare you, Nate? How dare you refuse me? Do you know what this mean?” The woman thunders angrily, clenching her fist. Her blood boiling in pure rage as she glares hard at him.

As a young man who grew up being abused by his step mom, what was he supposed to do? All his life, he had always lived for this woman. Yes, it’s awful sleeping with his dad’s wife, but who would he complain to? Who would believe that his step mom who loves him so much in the presence of people, treats him as her sex slave behind closed door? Who would believe him if he say that his stepmom raped him while he was just ten, and for the past fifteen years, they have been having sex almost every day? He feels miserable, his spirit is drained and his heart is broken, but who is he supposed to complain to? Even his dad will not believe him if he tells him something like this, no one will even believe him, why? Because the society we are didn’t take male rape serious, he is scared to speak up! He has always wish to speak up to someone, but his father is too busy to have his time.

“Why are you doing this to me? I can’t do this anymore! I am tired, I am tired of being your sex slave! I am tired of sharing you with my dad. This is not good. How will you feel if someone is treating your son like this?” That is all it takes to earn a resounding slap across his face. How dare he mention her son? How dare he use that stinky mouth of his to drag her son into this?

“How dare you bring my dear son into this? How dare you? Who told you, you can bring my son?” She asked angrily moving closer to him.

“You’re also a mother, you should know what I am feeling, if you’re truly a good mother as you claim, I am no longer interested in this bull shît, I am sick and tired, I am not interested anymore, it’s not even as if I am interested from the start you forced me and you have always forced me” he yelled on top of his voice

“You’re mine, Nate. You’re to satisfy me whenever I need you and you dare not complain about anything! I fed you, I clothed you and gave you everything! Just this little favor… I’m asking for a payback with just little favor, how dare you refuse me? And how dare you raised your voice on me, I am your mother you should treat me like one, that include doing all the things I want, your work is to make me happy, I have done enough for you, so I also need this little favor from you” She grabs him and pushes him violently on the bed, getting on top of him.

As much as he want to fight her, he feels so drained and he can only cry his eyes out. Why is his life like this? Why is life so unfair to him? At times he wonders how life would’ve been if his mom had not left him in this wicked world. He feels rejected by everyone. At times he feels like there’s no reason to be alive, but then, taking his own life is never an option. He grew up to know that his mom abandoned him just five months after he was born and until now, he has not set his eyes on her for once in his lifetime.

“I still stand on my word, I can’t do this anymore, I will report you to father if you didn’t let me be, I will expose you to your son for him to see the kind of mother you’re, Susan, you aren’t a mother but an animal, let me be please!” He yelled.

“My name sounds sweet in your mouth, but how dare you call me an animal?” She asked and landed a slap on his face. Nate hold his face in pain and tried to push her away from hiself but he can’t, it’s just as if she has another strength helping her.

“Trying to push me away? You’re mine Nate, stop all this and let start from where we stop, it doesn’t hurt you know that, forget about your father he can never find out, he won’t even believe we are having sex with each other” she said smiling sheepishly.

“I am not interested anymore, let me be” he shouted.

“The only thing I like in this room is that it’s soundproof, I knowingly made it soundproof because of a day like this, Nate you are mine, you aren’t allow to see any other girl” she said caressing his face with her hand.

“I am graduating from college next week, I think running away from you will be better, I am sick and tired, I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to let me go, go look for another guy, I will return all the favors you did for me in fold, just let me go please” he begged.

“I am not letting you go, how can I let my sweetheart go, you are the reason why I am still with your father, I love you, I didn’t want anything from you, all I need is you” she said smiling like a devil she’s and Nate struggle to break free from her with all his strength.

While struggling to break lose from her grasp, the door suddenly burst open and they both snap their head in the direction to find the shock of their lives. It’s his dad…
