Samantha was half Puerto Rican half Polish. She had grown up in the five towns of Long Island . While
there she became extremely close friends with a Dominican girl named Janilsa . Unlike Janilsa, Sam didn’t like living in New York . Her parents
had a house in Ft Myers , Florida
and as soon as she graduated college, she moved down to Florida
and rid herself of living in New York . Throughout her life, she had a great fear of
being raped. This caused her never to be
attracted to guys that could physically dominate her but to go for scrawny
dirty men that needed her and became dependant.
She had a natural distrust of men and assumed all of them were
rapists.
Janilsa never felt that she had a strong attraction
to males. She had some male friends but
unlike most girls, she really did put her female friends way above the male
ones. Of all her friends she had met in
college or before, Sam was by far her closest friend. This is why it really saddened her when Sam
moved to Florida
because she wouldn’t be able to see her best friend anymore. Sure she was close with her cousins and
others but she really needed a friend. Janilsa
had discovered that she was gay at around 12-years-old. Sam was accepting of this but she still only
confided this information to a select few people. In college, she had befriended a Pakistani
girl by the name of Luna. They became
decently close but when Sam moved to Florida , Janilsa
linked onto Luna to fill the void left by her best friend moving to Florida . As the years progressed, she found out that Luna
was bisexual. Although Janilsa was
financially stable and well off, she refused to move out of her parents’ house
in Long Island because she had a misplaced
guilt of leaving her father. Since her
job required her to work long hours, she didn’t want to stay in Long Island so ended up staying at Luna’s apartment in
the city during the week. She still kept
in contact with Sam but as the years progressed she confided in her less and
less, Luna had taken over where Sam used to be.
One day, Sam had called Janilsa and they began having
a standard conversation. Sam asked how
she was doing and Janilsa told her that nothing exciting was happening in her
life. Sam knew that Janilsa was dating Luna
but since Janilsa was her friend she wanted to make sure that she was dating
someone worthy of Janilsa. Sam started
complaining about her boyfriend at the time and then Janilsa opened up about
her relationship with Luna. Sam noticed
that this was becoming a pattern. The
first 20 minutes of her conversation with Janilsa was spent on meaningless chit
chat and it was only when Sam opened up and allowed herself to feel vulnerable
did Janilsa do the same. To Sam it was
like a quid pro quo, I need to hurt myself before you hurt yourself. If Sam
didn’t show any vulnerability then Janilsa was a steel trap. This unnerved Sam because she was so used to Janilsa
sharing so much with her but now it seems that the distance really had strained
their friendship. It’s not like Sam
never came back to New York ,
about biannually she would come up and they would always organize a poker game
at Janilsa’s house. It is here that Sam
met Luna and immediately concluded that she was a user and no good for Janilsa. Luna was an admitted pathological liar and Sam,
who despised liars, couldn’t approve of this girl for her friend. On one particular poker game, a friend of Janilsa’s
named Ranjit came. Ranjit had dated Luna
in the past and even during their relationship, Sam saw the coldness Luna
showed toward Ranjit and after. She
wasn’t delusional enough to believe that she wouldn’t do the same thing to Janilsa. She told Janilsa as much but to Janilsa
nobody’s opinion mattered except her brother’s and her brother liked Luna. Janilsa told Luna about Sam’s fear just to
see how she would respond. Luna wrote it
off as nothing, she hardly knew Sam and in her mind, she had already won Janilsa
from her. Deep down though, she was
pissed off that Sam was able to see right through her. To Luna, this fling with Janilsa was just a
game to her. She wanted to see if she
could seduce a lesbian and she had but Luna never considered herself one. She was a devout Muslim and Muslims frowned
upon homosexuality. Secretly she plotted
her revenge on Luna. She knew just how
to do it too.
Janilsa
was extremely forgetful. She very often
left her purse, phones, and other items all over the place. She had learned to adapt without this
technology by memorizing the phone numbers of places she’d be staying so she
could just borrow other people’s phones, which she did quite frequently. Luna had found out from Janilsa that Sam was
coming to town. She knew that Sam, like
many people, had conversations via text messages rather than calling
people. She had already decided that she
was bored of this experiment with Janilsa but before she broke it off cold
turkey, she wanted to extract some revenge on Sam for figuring this out. While Janilsa was asleep, Luna stole her
phone and keys and put them in her purse.
Predictably, Janilsa went to work without either. The cliché “Out of sight, out of mind” really
applied to Janilsa. Luna had taken the
day off work. She knew that Janilsa’s
father not only would be working all day but he also never went upstairs in his
own house. This is one reason Janilsa
still lived at home, she looked at the upstairs of her house as her own
apartment. Luna took out Janilsa’s phone
and texted Sam that she was working from home and asked Sam if she wanted to
come over. Sam, who hated being at her
parents house since she despised her father and had little respect for her
mother for staying with her father, readily jumped at an opportunity to be out
of her house. She drove to Long Island and pulled into Janilsa’s driveway. Luna had been dropped off at Janilsa’s by her
sister so that nobody would notice another car in the driveway. Sam rang the doorbell and was surprised when Luna
answered the door. She didn’t think
anything of it as Luna was Janilsa’s girlfriend so why wouldn’t she be
over? It was just odd that Janilsa would
invite Sam over too given that Janilsa knows how she feels about her. Luna’s original plan was to lure Sam upstairs
but her anger had boiled over and she closed the door behind Sam, turned around
and just as Sam had asked “Where’s Janilsa” Luna kicked her in the stomach,
grabbed her hair and yanked her to the ground.
Luna and Sam were of similar size but Luna had the element of surprise
and she wasn’t about to waste it. Before
Sam could even figure out was going on, Luna kicked at Sam’s side and stomped
on her midsection repeatedly. All the
wind was knocked out of Sam and she was absolutely defenseless in a lot of
pain. Luna used her right leg to
straighten Sam onto her back and then straddled her. She pinned Sam’s arms behind her head with
her arms and kissed her neck. Luna
whispered in her ear, “So, you told us how scared you are of being raped, let
me get it out of your system for you” as she licked her ear.
Sam
said in the sternest voice she could muster, “Get the fuck off me.”
“No
bitch, you should have never talked shit about me to Janilsa” as she lowered
her arms under Sam’s shirt and rubbed her chest. Sam was extremely petite so didn’t have very
big breasts but feeling Luna’s hands on them was revolting. She squirmed but that only gave Luna the
opportunity to pull her shirt over her head and use it to pin her arms
down. Luna slapped Sam across the face
and kissed her from her neck down to her waist.
She was surprised at how easily she had dominated Sam. The power was intoxicating. She unzipped Sam’s jeans and slipped her
fingers into her panties and into Sam’s dry vagina. Luna purposely used more fingers than fit
comfortably because she wanted to hurt Sam.
Sam had slipped her arms out of her shirt sleeves freeing them and
clawed at Luna’s arm. Luna responded by
lying her waist on top of her arm driving her fingers further into Sam. Luna then used her other arm and lifted her
shirt up and shoved her upper body forward grabbing the back of Sam’s head and
pulling her under her shirt. She rubbed Sam’s
face in between her breasts twisting her upper body as well. Luna lied flat to smother Sam and calmly
said, “This is for trying to convince Jani to dump me.”
Although
Sam definitely didn’t want her face in between Luna’s breasts, she was much
more focused on the pain from her vagina.
She had had sex before but not very often and she was always wet for
it. Having things inserted when she was
completely dry hurt immensely and she felt her resistance getting weaker and
more futile. After a while, Luna got up
off of Sam. Sam was crying from
helplessness as she rolled to the side curled in the fetal position. Luna lowered herself and removed Sam’s
shoes. She realized it was very easy to
maneuver Sam now as she was no longer resisting. She grabbed the waist of Sam’s jeans and panties
and pulled them off in one motion. Luna
completed the stripping by removing Sam’s socks leaving her fully naked. She looked down at her and said, “No wonder
you always keep your legs covered up. If
I had chicken legs like those, I would be ashamed too. Luna stripped herself
naked and threw her and Sam’s clothes in the closet nearest the front
door. She helped Sam to her feet bent
her over her shoulder and lifted her legs up.
Luna slapped her hand onto Sam’s buttocks and squeezed hard. She carried Sam upstairs and to Janilsa’s
room where she had originally planned to do this. She placed Sam down on Janilsa’s bed and
placed Sam’s face against her groin. Luna
had her legs behind Sam and against the inside of her shoulders keeping her sat
up. She said, “Start licking bitch” as
she grabbed Sam’s arms and rubbed Luna’s legs with them. Luna taunted Sam “don’t you wish you had legs
that were this sexy?”
Luna
sprang forward lying on the bed with her vagina shoving Sam’s face to the
bed. She said eerily calmly, “Sam,
either you start licking or you’re going to suffocate like this”
Luna
took Sam’s hands and continued to caress her own legs with them and moved them
up to her buttocks as well. Sam was
losing breath and acquiesced. She opened
her mouth and started licking Luna’s vagina.
Luna smiled for now she knew that she owned Sam. After a bit, she slithered her body down and reached onto Janilsa’s night table and
grabbed a harness and dildo. Luna stood
up and put on the harness and strapped the dildo into place. She crawled onto Sam and thrusted her pelvis
driving the dildo into Sam. She grabbed Sam’s
hands and placed them on Luna’s butt pulling them as if Sam was pushing Luna
into her. She wrapped Sam’s legs around
her waist and started kissing her neck and sucking her breasts. She taunted, “Janilsa loves me now, you left
her. I’m her best friend, she likes me
more than you, you need to accept that you left her. I won bitch, don’t you ever talk shit about
me to her again”
Luna
rolled over so Sam was on top of her. Luna
grabbed Sam’s ass and pulled her toward her.
Blood was oozing onto Stepahnie’s sheets but Luna knew nobody would be
coming in here for a while. She stood up
and cradled one of Sam’s legs and drove her against the wall humping her. She motioned Sam’s hands onto Luna’s butt and
squeezed. She then removed her hands
from Sam and reached around and grabbed Sam’s butt again. She mocked Sam and said, “Now you know what a
real ass feels like. How do you even
call yourself a woman?”
Luna
pulled herself out of Sam and slapped her across the face and watched as Sam
collapsed to the side barely conscious. Luna
in the last bit of humiliation sat Sam up, turned her back to her and jammed Sam’s
face into her ass and jeered, ‘That’s right kiss my ass whore”
Luna
went into a bag she brought and pulled out a pair of gloves, which she put
on. She reached back in and pulled out a
bed sheet. She lied it on the ground and
rolled Sam onto it wrapping her in it and duct taping it together. Sam had lost consciousness and Luna tried to
dead lift her but realized she was unable too.
She went across the hall to Janilsa’s shower and rinsed Sam’s blood off
her. She then walked downstairs and got
dressed. She grabbed Sam’s clothes and
put them in her bag along with Janilsa’s soiled sheets. She lifted Sam’s legs and dragged her toward
the stairs and down them. Luna went
through Janilsa’s living room and opened her garage. She took Sam’s keys from her purse and pulled
her car into the garage. She then went
back to Sam and dragged her into the trunk of her car. Sam drove an SUV so the back opened up. Luna drove to the hospital and opened the
trunk hatch. She didn’t get out of the
car as she was happy to see Sam had tinted windows. She climbed to the backseat and pushed the
trunk open just wide enough for Sam to fit.
Luna then kicked Sam out of the car and on to the street in front of the
hospital. She slammed the trunk and
hurried to the front seat and drove off.
She parked Sam’s car by the LIRR station and had her sister pick her up
and take her home. When home, Luna threw
everything in the wash and cleaned and dried them before returning to Janilsa’s
house and placing her sheets back on her bed.
Luna cleaned the areas she was in and left Janilsa’s house. Luna’s sister had already gone back to the
city after picking up Luna from the train station. She didn’t know exactly what Luna was up to
but she had already agreed to tell anyone that asked that she was in the city
with Luna at their apartment all day. Luna
drove her car to the train station and left it there knowing her parents would
come pick it up later. She took the LIRR
to the city and waited for Janilsa at her apartment. She took Janilsa’s phone and deleted all the
text messages between her and Sam.
Before she got to her apartment, Luna threw Sam’s phone into the Hudson River .
When Janilsa returned home, Luna acted like nothing happened and spoke
to Janilsa normally.
It
didn’t take long before someone at the hospital noticed a body shaped sheet
lying in the entranceway. Nobody had
paid attention to the car that dropped her off so carelessly and sped off. Paramedics rushed out with a stretcher and
brought Sam in. They treated her and it
didn’t take long for Sam to wake up. She
was a little disoriented and was visibly too shaken to talk. The doctors had already concluded it was rape
and had called the cops who were investigating the sheet. They wouldn’t find any fingerprints on them
as Luna never touched them with her bare hands. The cops didn’t investigate Sam
because her medical needs were too great.
One of the nurses had messed up later in the night and bathed Sam fearing
an infection from all the blood she had lost.
This killed any physical evidence they may have had. The next day, Sam had stabilized and was
talking. They called in a psychologist
and she was quick to explain that Luna was the one who did this to her. They let her have a phone and she called her
family to say she was okay. Sam was too
infuriated to let her rape bother her just yet.
She wanted revenge. The next call
was to Janilsa at work. She told her she
was in the hospital, and Janilsa immediately left work and went to Long Island to check on Sam. When there, Sam told her that Luna had raped
her. Janilsa was stunned. She asked how it happened and the story just
seemed too far fetched. Luna seemed too
smart to do this at her house. Her dad
could come home or a neighbor would have seen or a whole host of things. Besides, how did Luna get into her house in
the first place? She checked her phone
and saw no messages to or from Sam from the night before. She asked Sam where her phone was and Sam
blamed Luna. Janilsa asked if she had
told the cops and Sam screamed “YES!” incredulous that that was Janilsa’s
reaction. Janilsa didn’t know what to
think. She felt bad that Sam was in the
hospital but Janilsa had known her for years.
Sam was pretty cold hearted and knew that she despised Luna. She also got involved with very sketchy and
grimy men. Could Sam just be protecting
one of them? No, Sam wouldn’t do that
either. Janilsa was really at a
loss. She stayed with Sam promising she
would deal with Luna later but right now she just wanted to be there for her
friend. When visiting hours were over, Janilsa
went home and inspected her house. Her
bed was made just as she had left it and she didn’t find any blood. She remembered that her dad’s cleaning lady
came that day so she called her and asked if she saw anything suspicious. The cleaning lady seemed confused and said
she saw nothing. Janilsa didn’t bother
explaining to her what had happened. She
finally managed to call Luna not knowing how she was going to ask her about
this. She got her voicemail and Janilsa
just said she’d be staying in Long Island
tonight and to call her back when she got the message.
Luna
got a buzz on her door and knew exactly who it would be. She hit the intercom and heard, “NYPD, can we
come up?”
Luna
feigned surprise and buzzed them in. Luna
was a lawyer so she knew her rights. She
said nothing and allowed them to read her her Miranda Rights and take her
off. While in the cop car, she called a
co-worker of hers to represent her.
After all, she knew the old saying that “Any lawyer who represents
themselves has a fool for a client.”
Luna’s
co-worker arrived at the station right around the same time as Luna. She immediately asked what the issue
was. The cops had already told her when
they were arresting her that she was being arrested for rape. All she did was scoff knowing that that by no
means could that be explained in a court of law. Luna’s lawyer was quick to get the accuser’s
name out of the cops and talked with Luna.
Luna chuckled at the name as if she didn’t expect to hear it. She explained to her co-worker that she had
been with her sister at her apartment all day on the date in question and documented
how Sam hated her. Luna’s lawyer didn’t
really need anything Luna had told her she went back to the cops and said
quickly, “The accuser is someone that is not amicable with my client, do you
have any piece of solid physical evidence that would justify holding her or is
it merely an accusation from an obviously distressed patient?”
The
cops had to admit that they had nothing to hold her so they let her go. In the car they tried to ask Luna her
whereabouts on the night in question but Luna knew she didn’t have to answer
any questions. The cops still canvassed the area around Janilsa’s house and Luna’s
building but nobody had seen anything.
They did question Luna’s sister, who merely said Luna was with her all
day and refused to say more. She was
also a lawyer. In the end, the cops had
to inform Sam that they had no evidence to convict Luna except for her
word. Sam took the news harshly and
screamed at the cops and everyone around before she started crying. She had been in the hospital for a full week
now and was just being discharged with no idea how to get Luna back.
Luna had called Janilsa late the day Janilsa had left
the message and Luna had spent all day being questioned by the cops. Luna said, “So, I’ve spent the day being
questioned by the cops because of Sam!”
Janilsa’s said, ‘I know, I don’t really want to talk
about this over the phone, I’m coming to the city tomorrow. We’ll talk then.”
Luna said okay and hung up.
After
many years of dating, Luna had decided to break it off with Janilsa. She didn’t really care what happened after
she attacked Luna. Making Janilsa
believe her was just icing on the cake.
There is no way the testimony from an ex-girlfriend and someone that had
a history of dislike toward her would stand up in court in the absence of
physical evidence. As a woman, a jury
would be hard pressed to accuse her of rape.
She awaited Janilsa to come the
next day and when she did she greeted her platonically and seriously as if she
was offended. Janilsa thought she had
energy for this but seeing Luna she knew she wasn’t quite ready for it. She said, “So, I just got back from the
hospital and Sam…well….she’s doing better.” Was all she could muster.
Luna
rolled her eyes and said, “Look, I know she’s your friend and all but according
to the cops, she’s saying I did this to her.
I mean, you’ve been with me, you know I don’t have a fucking dick to be
raping people with.”
“Yea,
she said you used a dildo.”
Luna
feigned shock and stared at Janilsa incredulously. She had rehearsed the anger she would express
at this moment. Her advantage was Janilsa
rarely lied which means she believed that other people were honest too. Even though Luna admitted to being a liar,
for some reason Janilsa still believed her not to be. She exclaimed, “What?! Why does that
delusional, cold-hearted psycho want to blame this on me? I knew she hated me but damn, this is just
fucking low” Luna made sure not use the
term “Bitch” as that’s what she repeatedly called Sam and may help Janilsa
believe Sam.
Janilsa
lowered her head and shook it. She
didn’t know what to think. She said, “I
don’t know why she would either. I mean Sam
isn’t normally a liar.”
Luna
started screaming now, “What? You actually
believe her? She’s obviously emotionally
distressed as all rape victims are and she’s embarrassed because she has no
idea who did this to her so she came up with my name because she hates me and
doesn’t like that we’ve become so close since she moved to Florida.”
Janilsa
looked up, “You seem to have this all figured out.”
“Well,
I think about shit when I get questioned by the cops. Conveniently, there’s absolutely no evidence
of this.”
“Yea,
I didn’t notice anything at my house.”
Luna
calmed down, “Why would I do it at your house anyway?” How did she get to the hospital?”
“The
doctors said someone dropped her off.”
“Well
there are cameras and shit, didn’t someone see the license plate?”
“Yea,
it was Sam’s car.”
“Oh
how convenient.”
“Luna,
I don’t think Sam set this up.”
“I
don’t know her sister is crazy enough to help her do this. She’s bipolar, smokes pot all day living on
disability and has nothing better to do with herself.”
“Now
you’re making accusations.”
“Eye
for an Eye.”
“So,
just tell me did you do it?”
Luna
dropped her shoulders and looked hurt just like she had rehearsed. She said very calmly, “No” knowing that
oftentimes people take anything more than the word “no” as an indication of
guilt.
Janilsa
just nodded her head; she sat down and exhaled deeply. She didn’t know who to believe. She didn’t think Luna was capable of that but
she didn’t know Sam to be a liar. She
said more to the table than to Luna, “Then why would she say that?”
Luna
sat across from Janilsa and said, “You know there’s really not going to be a
good time to do this. But, I can tell
you don’t fully believe me. I’ve told
you before I was just having fun and that I don’t really think I’m
bisexual. This little experiment was fun
while it lasted but I just can’t do it anymore.
I need to start getting more serious and thinking about marriage, I’m
already 26, so I’m closer to 30 than 20 so I need to start thinking about doing
my duty and starting a family.”
Janilsa
was speechless. She’s normally not very
emotive but she was devastated. She held
back tears and blurted out, “You do this now?”
“I’ve
wanted to for a while, but I kept waiting for the right time but I always
convinced myself that it wasn’t now. Now
that you have this doubt in your head, I really can’t live with that. I have never been violent toward you while we
were together and you’re not sure if I’m some sadist. I’m sorry, but I really need to think for
myself here. I’m really not comfortable
with someone that would even entertain that idea.”
“I
didn’t accuse you.”
“You
don’t fully believe me either.”
Janilsa
felt it was fruitless to argue. Why
would you want to convince someone to like you?
It just seemed pointless. She
started feeling guilty for ever bringing it up not realizing that it was
actually Luna that pressed the topic.
Even if Janilsa would have remembered that she didn’t blame her. If she got arrested for something she didn’t
commit she wouldn’t be too happy about it.
She didn’t say a word, luckily she kept everything in a bag so she could
transport herself easily. She grabbed
the bag and said, “Bye Luna” without looking at her and walked out the
door.
Janilsa
had one other friend in the city. It was
late so she couldn’t go back to Long Island . She called him up and asked if she could come
over knowing that he wouldn’t mind late phone calls. As she expected he actually seemed excited
and urged her to come over. The second Janilsa
left Luna’s the tears streamed out. She
cried all the way to her friend’s house then composed herself, wiped the tears
away and went up. She buzzed his buzzer
and got buzzed in. She explained to him
that she just broke up with Luna. He
said all the right things but she knew that he hadn’t been in a relationship
for as long as she knew him and she had known him for almost 10 years. She never believed him when he called himself
asexual but she had grown to feel safe with him. He was also friends with Sam and had told Janilsa
that he was afraid of Sam even though Sam and he were friends. Sam hadn’t called him yet about what happened
so he heard it from Janilsa for the first time.
Janilsa explained all the events then asked his opinion knowing that he
and her never really agreed on things.
Still though, she respected his opinion and he did pride himself on
emotionless logic. Janilsa was too close
to Luna to think objectively. His
response was, “Look, I’ve called Sam a sociopath so I’m not going to say that I
don’t think she’s capable of something like this but I refuse to believe that
she would get herself physically hurt just to get back at someone. She’s a sadist not a masochist, if she wanted
to get back at Luna, she would just con some guy into hurting Luna for
her. You know how she manipulates men,
so that seems to be the avenue she would take.
Luna is an admitted liar so her denial is irrelevant to me. Hell, even an honest person would lie about
something this serious. Breaking up with
you, I’m sorry to say, doesn’t prove anything.
I believe she never thought of you guys as seriously as you
thought. Sam wouldn’t protect a rapist
either. You know that I like Luna, she
just doesn’t like me so I’m not saying this with any malice toward Luna but
logically, I’d believe Sam.”
Janilsa
was used to picking apart his arguments but she was in no state to do it
now. She just said “Yea” and
internalized her feelings that she believed his comments were based on his
indifference for Luna and his friendship with Sam. If Janilsa were thinking non-emotively, the
way she normally did, she would have realized that one of his friend’s biggest
criticisms of him was exactly that he sided on the side of the person who was
right not who he liked more. It drove
his friends crazy when he sided with perfect strangers to him over his closest
and best friends but that was his coldness.
Janilsa’s feelings for Luna would never allow her to admit that she
would never believe her capable of what Sam accused her of. She didn’t say much more on the topic but
just went to sleep. When her friend was
in his room sleeping, she let the tears come.
She hated letting men see her cry and her friend wasn’t known to be very
empathetic. Sam went back to Florida and her
friendship with Janilsa remained the same, they rarely spoke. Sam tried several times to bring up what
happened to Janilsa but Janilsa just stuck with the facts, there was nothing
they could do about it. Whoever had
raped her didn’t leave any physical evidence.
Sam constantly pleaded her case but Janilsa just wanted to forget that
it happened, which Sam obviously could never do. Eventually Sam just stopped bringing it
up. She contemplated revenge but there
was little she could do from Florida . Luna had broken up with Janilsa so Sam
couldn’t even focus on breaking them up…though she did try that before and
failed. She would never look at her rape
as a way she succeeded. It hurt her that
although Janilsa said the right things, she never got the sense that she fully
believed her. Sam wrote this off as the
final straw and accepted that her and Janilsa weren’t nearly as close as they
used to be and now never would be.
