When I’ll was 11/12 I think it was in the middle of the night and me and my step sister had to share a bed cause yk lower class so I’m try to sleep and ig she thought I was sleeping and we’re both the same age she starts rubbing my ass and yk me saying to my self it probably nothing sleep so I keep trying to sleep I manage to pass out for a bit when I wake up for a slight second I have no idea of what’s happening and she has her hands in my pants just touching me like she’s my girlfriend and tbh I th ought I’d keep this a secret forever but should I tell somebody?

This isn’t necessarily a deep dark secret in anyway, but it’s one I have to get off my chest. I have been burdened with it for 4 years now. I’ve known my bestfriend since I was born, and we always told eachother everything. We’re still bestfriends, we just don’t talk as much as we used to. I’ve liked him for a while but I never said anything because I didn’t think things would work out, and then I’d just end up losing my bestfriend. He told me a few months ago he started seeing this girl- who is now his girlfriend. Ever since he told me, it’s like I can barely look at him. I love him so much and he doesn’t even know, it makes my heart sink. How could I love someone so much and them not even know?
