There was something he said that I didn't want to say. And I didn't want to say it because it's the thing that stays in my head over and over. Like, um, it's the thing that kind of stayed with me over the years.  But he said, when he got me against the wall after I pulled away. And he said, "Hey, I heard you liked me".  I knew he was angry right after he took his finger, he just like pointed at me and he said.  "You're nothing to me".  And he just looked at me, he goes "You're nothing. Nothing."  And then I must have reacted and I think he only said it twice. I just heard the word "nothing" and, and I must have reacted, because that's when he took me by the shoulders and he said "You're okay. You're fine. You're okay." <br>

But then afterwards, like it kept replaying in my head there, like last April [2019] when all that stuff came out. I got really, really sad about it. And the thing that I remember most, almost more than the assault itself was, just being told that I was nothing. And he was right. That's how people treated me. And I have no platform. So people want to know why women don't come forward, that's a good example.}}
