I like this idea of coming up with an additional scene for a book. How would I change or add to the story line. There are so many scene I could do. Like the one at the end where she talks to Mr. Freeman about it. I think this scene could be interesting if pursued. The missing scene that I think should be added is: The one that she talks to her parents about the rape.

The lacrosse team stays until one of them gets a teacher. The teacher calls the police. They also called my mom and dad. I didn't want them to at first but then I realized if I had the strength to fight against IT then I could finally talk to my parents. My hand is bleeding all over. Now that the police were called I have to give a statement. I'll have to speak. My parents have showed up.

When I saw my parents I started to cry. The concern on my mom's face was nice to see. My dad was concerned but he didn't know what to do with it. My parents and I talked about that night. I told them about the party I went to. How I got drunk and then the incident that followed. I can finally speak.

This is how the conversation went.

Mom: Melinda what happened?
Me: I was attacked because a guy thought I was spreading rumors about him and it was hurting his reputation.
Mom: Why did he think that you were spreading rumors?
Me: Mom, dad I never told you about that big party that was broken up. I have wanted to tell you about it since August. But I just couldn't speak. I was at that party. I was the one to call the police. But the reason I called never was reported. I called because I was raped. I got drunk and was raped. I was raped by the guy who attacked me today. I told Rachel but she didn't believe me. She was dating him. But she dropped him soon after. He was angry that she or any other girl didn't want him. I was ashamed of what happened. I just couldn't tell anyone.
Mom: Honey, I wish that you had told me. I guess we are not very close. I should have realized something was going on when your grades were falling. Also should have noticed that you were not as social. You always stayed home. I will try to do better from now on. Would you like to go see someone about this?
Me: Yes, I think it might be good.

From that moment on my family was different. I can't really say what exactly but we are different. The difference is a good one. Andy Evans is being charged with rape now. His parents are just shocked. I don't really know what will happen to him, but right now I really don't care. I feel better that everyone knows.
