Rape And Tolerance


            It was about 5pm in the afternoon when a young girl of 13 decided to seek solitude within her cousin's home. Just three hours earlier, she had just been grounded for breaking curfew. Running away seemed like the better alternative to hanging out around an empty house. Her cousin Eric was usually always home and never minded receiving unannounced company. When she showed up it was no different. Eric did, however, already had a few friends over, which wasn't anything new. Everyone in the neighborhood either worked for Eric, or bought from him. He happened to hold some prestige. As things run in the "hood,"" there are just some people you messed with and others you didn't. Eric was the latter of those.
             After a few games a spades, a couple of Eric's boys decided they wanted to get some alcohol from the store just a few blocks from the house. Eric felt that was a pretty good idea and opted to go with them. The only thing keeping him was an already drunken buddy of his sleep on the couch and the 13-year-old cousin watching television on the floor. Eric was kind of hesitant in leaving his spade buddy there without his supervision, because he felt no one was above stealing, but his cousin assured him that she would keep an eye on everything. Deciding it was just a quick run, Eric, certain that she would watch his stuff, headed out the door. She returned her focus onto the television. .
             It was probably about 15 minutes later when the guy woke up and got off the couch. He began asking the girl about what she had be watching and where everyone else had went. She told him about the run for alcohol and preceded to explain the show she had been watching. He then sat right next to her on the floor and rested his arm around her on the floor. Unnerved, she kept watching t.v. , pointing out particular parts she wanted him to pay attention to, seeing that this was only a rerun and it just happened to be a very good one.
