So I went back upstairs and my roommate got one look at me when I walked in the door and she was like,

What the hell happened to you?

I told my roommate the entire story in as much detail as I could, but I was reeling and I was crying and hyperventilating.

I don't really remember what I told her, but I know that she had the full story because she ended up helping me with the rest of the situation and telling me what to do.

And the first thing that my roommate encouraged me to do was go to the bathroom and I used the bathroom and I was actually bleeding.

It looked like I had started my period, but I had not been due for it at all.

So that was really scary.

That shocked me back into reality.

Something is terribly wrong.

That was not okay.

I'm physically injured and internally now I'm injured.

That made me completely spiral.

And so I started panicking and my roommate was like, why don't we go downstairs to the RA and just tell her what happened so that even if you never do anything about it,

you have told somebody else that's not me because I want you to know that you were assaulted that is 100% an assault I'm here for you and I want you to go share this with somebody else so that there's another person that knows what happened to you and see where we go from there but I'd never been assaulted I'd never even come close to that hearing that come out of somebody's mouth that cares about me was so I don't even have the word for it it was such a surreal experience

I had already been talking to my RA on and off because the heater in our room was broken.

So I had gone and talked to her a few different times and her and I had a really nice relationship and I trusted her.

She happened to be the one that was on duty, like supervising the whole building for the night.

Thank God.

My roommate and I went into the RA office and we asked her if we could talk and she was immediately super welcoming.

I remember sitting in this really big chair that was really uncomfortable.
