58 mention any of this to her, keeping everything hidden, preferring to keep her distance as much as possible from Emil. Her attempts failed one evening when she found herself alone with him at home, as her mother and Gelu were at a wedding. Emil burst into her room, beat her up badly, tore up her clothes and then raped her, there, in her own room. After that he ran away from home. A.G.F. managed to reach for her mobile phone and call one of her girlfriends to ask her to come and help her. Her friend came over with her boyfriend who brought her there in his car. When they saw the state in which A.G.F. was, they both got really scared, her friend put some clothes on A.G.F. and decided to take her to the County Hospital in Timisoara. After they got to the hospital, A.G.F. was hospitalized as an emergency, her health being quite precarious. Not knowing what to tell the medics about what had happened and seeing the state A.G.F. was in, her friend decided to call A.G.F.’s mother and Gelu. A.G.F.’s mother arrived as soon as she could and gave her approval so that A.G.F. could go into surgery due to her hemorrhage.

In that moment, in which she experienced her second rape, A.G.F. was only 14 years old, and she was but a simple teenager who was enlisted in gymnasium school in her village of Giroc. What happened this time, the fact the she was raped by Emil and she could not do anything to protect herself left very deep scars in the girl’s souls, and because of the guilt she felt A.G.F. started drinking frequently and taking drugs. She also started smoking ethno-botanical drugs, and even sniffing some coke. As if these things were not enough she also started to cut herself on her hands and face, continuing with walks through the graveyard and culminating in suicidal thoughts, to end her life, a life she considered is not worth living, a life that for her had no value.
