Chapter 7: The Truth

Ruthie rushed threw the halls of Glen Oak middle school

with tears in her eyes. She stormed out of the building and hurried

across the street to Glen Oak High School. She still feared him.

The only person she felt she could talk to was Cecilia. At least

Cecilia had been able to tell everyone what had happened but then

again Dick had gotten her pregnant so it would've been hard to

hide. The only reason Cecilia even new what had happened was

because he had done it to them on the same night one right after

another. Ruthie searched the school for her and eventually found

the right classroom. Nervously she knocked on the door.

"Hello?" Said the science teacher in a high squeaky voice.

Ruthie had always thought Simon was just kidding about the way

his teacher look but she wasn't he wore a long white lab coat, thick

glasses and had a nose the size of mars.

"Um is Cecilia there."

"Just hold on." The man disappeared and soon came out

Cecilia.
"Ruthie what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be

in class?"

"Yeah. I am but I needed to talk to you."

"Okay lets go outside."

"K thanks." They headed outside and sat down on the front

steps.

"So what you need to talk about."

"You know how a few weeks ago Dick came back."

"Yea and he got me pregnant stupid man."

"Well I've been thinking that we should tell our parents I

can't hold it in any longer sure everyone nose about you but know

one nose who did it."

"I no I've been thinking the same thing." Suddenly Ruthie

broke down in tears.

"I can't tell my parents what am I insane for even thinking I

could."

"No you can we both can tell who did it. You can say what

happened and we a can both say who did it."

"Okay but I'd feel safer if Kevin and Roxanne where there I

feel like the minute we say he's going to come out and kill us."

"Yea I no. I feel the same way. How about we phone them

and get them to meet us at the hospital. We should also phone my

parents because they should be there when everyone find s out who

it is."

"Yea." Cecilia pulled out her cell phone and phoned them all.

"Let's go." She said when she had finished.

"Um. Cecilia what about school?"

"I think this is more important."

"Good point." Ruthie got up and followed her to her car.

Kevin and Roxanne walked into Simon's room.

"Hi guys."

"Kevin don't you have work?"

"Yea but Cecilia phoned me and said we should get here

because she and Ruthie have something important to tell us. Are

they here yet?"
"No. Aren't they supposed to be in school?"

"Evidently this is more important." Cecilia's father said

walking in with her mom following. Quickly Kevin and Lucy

excused themselves.

"did you make an appointment?" Kevin asked.

"Yea I got in tomorrow at 11:00. Can you come?"

"I don't no. I'll try to get off work. If not just come down to

the station and tell me."

"Okay." Kevin leaned in and kissed her.

"Knock it off and get in her we have an announcement."

Ruthie said coming in with Cecilia tagging behind her. Soon

everyone was sitting and waiting for the announcement.

"Ok," Ruthie began. "You know what happened to Cecilia?

Well on the same night the same thing happened to me." Everyone

stared in shock at Ruthie, "Only I'm not pregnant. We've decided

to tell who did it."

"Well then who did it honey?" Eric asked.

"Dick." Cecilia spat out then buried her head in her hands

embarrassed at what she had just reviled. Kevin and Roxanne

phoned Detective Michaels and together they set up a team to

catch Dick.
