My Horrible Luck

My life was going well until this last Friday (July 5th, 2019) when I made a brief stop at this place called Avante Garden off Westheimer to use the restroom and say hello to a couple of friends which turned out to be the worst thing I could have done. Let's go backwards shall we?

I'm a transwoman of color, kind of a-typical, very tall, gothy, musician. I had been looking for a place to live and I put an ad out on Craigslist which I regret doing. I was a bit desperate to find a safe place to live, and almost all the responses back had to do with inquiries to my anatomy and other unsavory questions.

A Caucasian couple (Rick & Stacy) responded to my ad which at first seemed like they were decent folks until the husband started texting on the wife's phone asking me things that were in a sexual nature, and I tried to remain cool by asking questions about the room, and the husband kept going sexual on me, and for that moment I gave in to his advances. Next thing I know they ordered me an Uber to come over and have dinner with them and to discuss being a roommate. So I get over there and they ordered Mexican food—I was starving and hadn't eaten in a couple of days and proceeded to ask questions about the room and they started to give me the run-around, so I'm thinking "Dammit, at least there's good food to eat." So after dinner they invite me to their room in which they have all kinds of drugs AKA party favors... and all kinds of liquor/moonshine. Rick and Stacy are this country husband and wife. Rick runs tow truck companies near the Southwest side, and Stacy is a deputy for the tax office or something like that. They live in a fairly nice home on the Northside. So I'm in their room with all these party favors which they offered me and I tried some of their blow and it was amazing stuff and I tried some ecstasy. I hadn't done either in years but I knew what they wanted and perhaps this would take the edge off. Oh I forgot to mention that I'm primarily attracted to women as a transwoman and not all that attracted to men. So the party favors are strong and zoned me out. Stacy started taking my clothes off and took hers off. Stacy is BBW and I wasn't very attracted to her and Rick was a shorter/plumbed man with not a lot going on downstairs.

So she gets me on the bed and proceeds to go oral on me which was ok but I wasn't totally comfortable, and he started playing with himself, making these sounds that were horrific. 10 minutes later, she puts a condom on me and proceeds to get on top while he's touching on my leg playing with himself. Then she asks Rick if she could put it in her ass and he's like "Oh yeah baby." At this point... I didn't feel like I was in control, just watching everything that's going on. So she's saying stuff like "Fuck my white ass" which was kinda hot hearing that for a second and I just let loose, and apparently so did she... all over me. I'm like "WTF really?" and she #2 all on my genital region. I got up and jumped in their shower and proceeded to scrub myself until it was all gone, including smell. I asked Stacy if she was aware of cleaning her anus out before doing anal play, and said it was very similar to douching and she asked, " How do you do that?" I'm thinking, "Oh my God... gross."

So after that they let me lie down in the room they claimed that would be mine, and I said, "well I'm about to rent a vehicle through Lyft and I can pay you guys rent instead of this."

They said, "well we'll talk about it more later."

I slept for 3 hours and they got me an Uber back to where I was staying.

A week later I finally rented a vehicle from Lyft which was a 2018 Nissan Sentra. I felt my life was getting better, though at this point I was now sleeping in the vehicle because I had to leave where I was staying at the time due to the slumlords being unreasonable. So Rick calls me at 9 AM wanting to know if I could come over and do his wife again. I responded that I was exhausted driving all night and was only interested being a paying roommate, which I guess pissed him off or something.

I did try to maintain communication with them even though the experience for me was a bit humiliating but at least a housing/friends situation could come about.

Fast forward to the July 5th... My Lyft rental gets towed from Avante Garden off Westheimer and I'm freaking out... pissed off at myself. So I called the number on the side where I got towed and Rick answered the phone, and I desperately ask for his help because he ran tow trucks and apparently one of his guys towed vehicles randomly because I guess his guy needed to fix his truck and I was begging Rick to help me and that I would pay him because I needed this Lyft rental to survive, and he gets mad at me asking why I didn't let him know where I was parking before, then he claims there's nothing he could do about it. I started freaking out more and begged this guy to help. Later Stacy texted, "He passed out. There's nothing he can do... hope you can get it situated."

I make my way to the tow yard, and they want $300 to get it out. I freak out more and ask a friend if I could come over to calm down.

This so called friend is an escort and I tried to whore myself out, to which no one wanted me, so I got kicked out the next day from there.

I find any and all contacts to Lyft possible through the driver app and on Google... there's very little info on what to do when getting towed unless I was in an accident. I wasn't though.

Monday comes around and I bus it to the flexdrive center and let them know what was going on and that I spoke with Lyft people about it and I actually thought everything was gonna be ok...

It wasn't... Now I'm vehicle-less having to pay back a lot in order to rent a vehicle again. One saving grace was this other thing called hyrecar... which I was approved for but have to come up with $100 to drive in, but I have $0 to my name. I don't really have anyone to help me in my life, and Vocal was the only thing I thought of that could possibly help.

I feel awful and damn near defeated. I made mistakes that I will never make again.

It wasn't their responsibility to help me but they could have and didn't.

I'm trying to find out places that will hire me in my situation.

If there's anyone could help in anyway, it would be much appreciated.
