Hi Kristi,I decided I’d better talk to you. I am so depressed right now. First of all, Rico kissed me again on Saturday. He has been kissing me all month. This time I kept backing away from him (it didn’t feel good) but he didn’t get the picture even when I turned around and left when he did it again today.
I know now that he doesn’t really like me; he’s just horney. He tried to touch me in those places but I wouldn’t let him. I kept walking away or moving his hand. I also told Lidia and asked her to never leave me alone with him. Next time he does that, I am going to talk to him and if he doesn’t quit, I’ll tell Dominic and the bishop. Then he will have to leave me alone.
One day this month, we got family pictures and I was wearing a dress. I went over to Lidia’s to help her with her homework. Rico came in the kitchen pretending he was interested in the homework and sat by me. He was rubbing me under the table. Then, Lidia and I got up and went to her room. Lidia left for a minute and I came out in the hall where Rico snuck up behind me, crouching behind a half wall, and put his hand all the way up my dress and rubbed my underwear. His parents were right there on the couch in front of me but no one could see him. I guess I was in shock. I never told anyone. I’ll never forgive myself.
I still like Dominic. He is a wonderful, sweet guy. He would never do anything like Rico does. I feel safe and comfortable around him. You know what? I’m going to talk to you some more tomorrow. I’m tired and I don’t feel good so I’m going to bed.
Thanks for being a friend,
Melonie
