She wanted to help him do that.

I don't know if I'll ever forgive him for what he did to my mom, but I can honestly say that I do forgive him for what he did to me. And I refuse to sit here and hate him and never be able to move on and never be able to move past this. I'm not going to do that.

It was like she was trying to say something or do something, but she couldn't.

And I fought him. I kicked. I kicked. He was so strong. He was so strong. He then proceeded to rape me. And this entire time, my mom was still alive. I mean, I could tell because she was moaning, and there was nothing I could do.

The next thing I remember is he was behind me, and he held my head up while he slit my throat. Twice.
