At this point in my life, I had just finished high school and was looking forward to being accepted into college. I was working in a convenience store to save money for the tuition fees. I contemplated the idea of dating a boy, and concluded that there would probably be no harm in dating before beginning college.

One evening while I was at work, my mother called to let me know that the uncle might "pop round". I remembered a young man coming into the store to buy a package of gum that night. I did not pay any attention to him. A few minutes later, the uncle came into the store smiling and introduced the young man to me. I was perplexed. I was certain this was not the boy from the video. The uncle suggested that there was no harm in getting to know this young man and it would only be dating, it was not as if I had to marry him. The uncle introduced the young man as a permanent resident, an industrious boy who had just bought a new car and was from a very well respected and wealthy family. I really did not have time for dating but I was curious to know what dating would be like. Therefore, I agreed to go out with him and get to know him. Little did I know that this would turn into the most horrendous nightmare of my life!
