(The next morning) (Sheridan opens her eyes but quickly closes them again
as the sun was so bright for her to handle. She opens them up again slowly
and sits up. She starts to think why she is sleeping on the floor of a
street. She then remembers)
Sheridan thinks-Oh no. Why did this happen to me? Everything bad happens to me. I can't believe it that I got raped. I won't tell anyone. It is too embarrassing
(Tears start to flow down Sheridan's cheek.) (Sheridan gets up and cleans herself up and then catches a taxi home) (Instead of going to the cottage she goes to the mansion) (She pays the taxi driver and walks into the mansion)
(Pilar sees her as Sheridan as she enters the mansion and about to walk upstairs) walks upstairs to Ethan's room)
P-Sheridan is everything all right? Where were you last night?
(Sheridan doesn't answer but when she heard Pilar asking where she was last night, tears began to flow again)(Sheridan walks upstairs to Ethan's room and waits for him) (After 10 minutes Ethan arrives at the mansion)
E-Hi Pilar! Is Sheridan back?
P-Yes but you better go up and see her. She looked very upset when she came home this morning.
E-Why?
P-She wouldn't say. She is in your room.
E-Is she really upset?
P-Very!
E-I better go and see her then.
(Ethan climbs the stairs. When he gets at the top he walks into his room) (He sees Sheridan sitting on the bed, staring at the wall)
E-Sheridan?
S-Oh Ethan hi.
(Sheridan bursts into tears)
E-Sheridan did something bad happened last night with Luis? If it did I will kill him!
(Ethan gets really angry)
S-No.But if I tell you something, you got to promise not to tell anyone. Especially not Luis! Okay?
E-Why? Sheridan I am really confused.
S-Last night I.I.I.
E-What is it Sheridan?
(Ethan goes and sits on the bed next to her)
S-I was raped late night, Ethan!
(A tear runs down Sheridan's cheek)
E-WHAT!
(Ethan jumps up and walks around the room)
E-WHO DID IT? Surely not Luis?
S-NO it wasn't him.I don't know who.
E-How did this happen? Weren't you with Luis late night?
(Sheridan starts to cry really hard)
S-I went to see Luis.but he wasn't there so I started to walk home but then I was grab from behind and.
(Sheridan cries so much that she couldn't say anymore)
(Ethan understand what happened to her anyways)
E-Don't say anymore.
E-You go and have a shower. I will get you something to eat. Okay?
S-Okay.
(Sheridan goes to the bathroom and Ethan goes down to the kitchen where Pilar is)
P-Ethan is she okay?
(Ethan doesn't know what to say so he tries to think up something on the spot)
E-Um...Yeah she was upset because of... Luis
Ethan thinks-A great save, Ethan.
P-Oh I see.
E-I am going to kill him. He is going to pay.
P-Please don't, Ethan. He isn't thinking straight. What happened? What did he do so I can talk to him?
E-NO!
(Pilar looks really confused)
E-I mean Sheridan said not to
P-Okay. I guess. Anything I can do to help?
E-Well Sheridan needs something to eat, do you have something for her. Maybe food that she likes.
P-Yes, the cooker has prepared her favourite food
(Pilar hands Ethan the food. Ethan takes it and climbs the stairs. When he gets to the top he takes the food to his room for Sheridan) (Sheridan is wiping her hair when Ethan enters)
E-Sheridan here.
(Ethan hands her the food)
E-Pilar made your favourite food
S-Ethan, I'm not really hungry. I feel so dirty.
(Sheridan puts the food on the table)
E-Sheridan you got to eat something
S-I tried to fight him.I did but he wouldn't get off me
E-Sheridan you don't have to tell me. I know. Did he look like someone we know or you know?
S-No but I still hear it in my head. It is so horrible. Why me?
E-Try hard to remember, Sheridan. It will be okay. Got it?
(Sheridan nods her head and Ethan hugs her)
E-Sheridan when you remember the person's face then we will go and tell the police. Okay?
S-NO! Then Luis will find out. Please don't, Ethan.
E-Sheridan this person might rape someone else. The police needs to know before he does.
S-I.I can't.I am too scared
E-Do you want me to tell them? I mean Sam might not do anything about it but the others might/
S-No.Please don't. Why did this happen to me? Haven't I had enough bad luck?
E-Okay Sheridan I won't tell if that is what you want.
S-It is truly what I want. Thank you Ethan. I knew I could count on you.
E-I will do anything for you. If you want me to keep this as a secret then you got to eat this
(Ethan points to the food on) (Sheridan eats a tiny bite)
E-Sheridan, the whole thing.
(Sheridan eats the whole thing)
S-Happy? Ethan you won't tell anyone right?
E-Okay, I won't. Not even Luis.
S-Good!
E-Are you going to the wedding in two weeks? The biggest mistake of Luis' life
(Ethan sees all the bruises Sheridan has on herself)
S-I guess.
(Sheridan feels uneasy inside of her. She hugs herself. When she did that she accidentally touched her bruises)
S-Ouch!
E-Sheridan shouldn't Eve see those bruises because it might need some lotion or something?
S-I guess.but don't tell her what really happened! Okay?
E-Okay
(Ethan and Sheridan get into Ethan's car. Ethan starts the engine and off they go to the hospital. While Ethan is driving he thinks about what happened to Sheridan last night. He gets really really angry and drives really fast.)
Ethan thinks-I will kill you whoever you are, Moron!
S-Slow down Ethan! Please!
E-NO!
S-Want Luis to arrest you?
(Ethan is really going fast so he doesn't see Luis's cop car right in front of him. It was too late when he saw it. He drives right into it)
E- Jesus!
S-Great! Just what I need!
L-Get out of the car, driver!
(Ethan gets out of the car)
L-Ethan?
(In the car Sheridan has a flash back from last night. She starts to cry. She doesn't want Luis to see so she turns her face around)
E-Look Luis I don't have time for this? I got to go somewhere important.
(Luis doesn't listen to Ethan instead tries to look in the car because he heard someone crying)
E-Look I'll pay the fine but let me go now. I got to go somewhere.
L-No you won't. You are coming to the police station, right now.
E-Luis! God! I really need to go somewhere
(Sheridan opens the window and sticks her head out. She turns to Luis)
S-Please Luis.Heck! Why can't you just let us? Okay?
L- Sheridan? Were you crying in there? Ethan I am sorry but rules apply to everyone even you.
(Luis points his finger at Ethan)
S-Luis.JUST SHUT UP OKAY!
L-Sorry SHERIDAN BUT ITS THE RULES!
(Sheridan gets out of the car and marches up to Luis)
S-FINE! CUFF ME THEN!
L-NOT YOU FOR CRYING OUT SAKE! IT'S ETHAN'S FAULT! HE WAS THE ONE DRIVING AND NOW THAT HE HAD A PASSENGER AS WELL, THE PUNISHMENT WILL BE EVEN MORE!
(Sheridan gets really freaked as Luis was shouting too loud. Luis looks at her and gets worried so does Ethan)
L-Sheridan are you okay?
S-Don't.don't touch me
(Sheridan starts to shake badly)
E-LUIS LOOK WHAT YOU DID, NOW!
L-But I am not touching her
(Luis gets really freaked out but also worried)
(Sheridan backs away from Luis slowly. Tears run down Sheridan's cheek one after each other)
L-Ethan, the fine is out but you must promise me something.
E-What!
L-Take Sheridan to the hospital right now so she can see a doctor. Got it? She is really acting really strangely.
E-OH MY GOD, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRY TO TELL YOU ALL THIS TIME! NOW CAN WE GO?
L-Yes! Go! Hurry!
(Ethan takes Sheridan's hand and leads her to the car. She gets in and Ethan shuts the door. Ethan then gets into the car himself and drives to the hospital. There they meet Eve)
Eve-Sheridan, Ethan what brings you here today?
S-Ah.
(Sheridan looks at Ethan for help)
E-Eve.um.Sheridan fell down. Can you check her bruises, please?
S-Yeah, please!
Eve-Sure. Come into this room, please.
(Eve points to a room. They enter the room and Sheridan takes a seat while
Ethan stands next to her. Eve stands in front of her)
Eve-So where did you fall, Sheridan?
S-Ah.On the stairs.
E-Yes, I found her there when I came back from work
Eve-Okay. Is you head fine or not?
S-My head?
Eve-Yes because if you fell on the stairs it is likely you fell on your head?
(Eve suspects that Sheridan and Ethan are lying)
Eve-Are you guys telling me the truth or not?
S-Um.I landed on my butt not on my head, Eve
Eve-Then please explain why you have scratches on you arm and leg and neck
(Sheridan starts to cry)
Eve-Sheridan is everything all right?
E-Yes she is.
S-Y.Yeah
E-Just very emotion. She misses Luis, that's all
S-That's...right
(Ethan puts his hand on Sheridan's shoulder but suddenly Sheridan freaks out)
Eve-Sheridan what do you think about the word touching?
(Sheridan freaks even more than before)
Eve-Ethan touch her on the shoulder
(Ethan knows that Eve is getting to know the real story about Sheridan)
Eve-Ethan please do what I say.
Ethan thinks-If I do what Eve says then Eve will know the true story. But that's good right? I mean Sheridan needs more than my help.
S-No!!! No go away. Don't touch me.
(Finally Eve gets what is going on)
Eve-Sheridan did you get raped?
(Sheridan shakes really badly)
Eve-Honey, you can tell me? I will help you
E-Eve, leave her alone.
(Sheridan nods her head and tears are pouring down her face)
Eve-Ethan, please go out now, please. I want to talk to Sheridan alone.
E-NO I AM STAYING HERE WITH HER!
(Sheridan starts to get more upset as Ethan was yelling)
Eve-Ethan I think I need to speak to Sheridan by herself, please
E-Fine!
(Ethan leaves the room and goes and sits in the waiting room)
Eve-Sheridan, how did this happen?
S-I.went to see.Luis but he wasn't there. Someone.grabbed me.
(Sheridan cries hysterically)
Eve-Sheridan, take a deep breath and start again
S-I.I went to see Luis... but he wasn't there so I walked home
Eve-Yes, Sheridan. Go on.
S-He had something on his hand to make me fall a sleep. That's all I can remember. Eve please don't tell anyone. You won't, right?
Eve-Sheridan I don't know what to say. But I know that the police needs to know, this.
S-No! No! No! Don't tell them please. Don't Eve. Please, don't.
(Sheridan starts to cry again)
Eve-Sheridan.um.
S-DON'T PLEASE!
(Sheridan has a pleading look in her eyes)
Eve-Sheridan I will not tell for you only but.
S-But what?
Eve-But if someone asks then yes I will tell. Like a police.
S-But, please, of all people don't tell Luis.
Eve-Why?
S-Just don't! Okay? Besides aren't you supposed to be checking me out? I JUST REMEMBERED! Why I couldn't remember will be a mystery?
(Sheridan hits her head)
Eve-What?
S-I know what made me fall asleep last night. The smell! I've smelt that before. Yes, when Luis chloroformed me...it was chloroform!
Eve-So you don't won't to tell him because you think Luis might have done it?
S-Oh no! It wasn't him.
Eve-Are you sure?
S-It was someone I know but not him. It's surely not him. LUIS WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT! Don't you have to check me out?
(Sheridan tries to change the subject)
Eve-I have. Buy this lotion and rub twice a day. Okay?
S-Thanks. Yep
(Sheridan turns around and about to leave when.)
Eve-One more thing, Sheridan. Do you feel weird inside your body?
S-What do you mean?
Eve-Do you feel different to before you got raped inside of you? Feel sick? Feel dizzy?
S-Well kind of.... but I am very confused? What? What's wrong?
Eve-Sheridan when you go home can you do a pregnant test? I mean you might not be but incase.
S-What.oh my god.I guess.I better go.thanks!
(Sheridan leaves the room and goes to Ethan)
S-Ethan I need to go to the pharmacy.
E-Okay.
(Ethan and Sheridan walk to the car and drive off to the pharmacy)(Sheridan gets out of the car and goes by herself to the pharmacy. She buys the lotion and a pregnant test package) (They go to the mansion after where Sheridan goes in the guest room and Ethan goes to his room) (Sheridan does the pregnant test and sees the result)
S-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sheridan thinks-Oh no. Why did this happen to me? Everything bad happens to me. I can't believe it that I got raped. I won't tell anyone. It is too embarrassing
(Tears start to flow down Sheridan's cheek.) (Sheridan gets up and cleans herself up and then catches a taxi home) (Instead of going to the cottage she goes to the mansion) (She pays the taxi driver and walks into the mansion)
