Chapter 12: The Meeting
The next morning, Ellie and her parents went to Degrassi Community School
together. They walked into Ms. Sauve's office. There they saw Ms. Suave
waiting patiently with Rick and his parents. Ellie was scared of Rick and
her parents gave Rick and his parents an annoyed look.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Nash, how are you?"Ms. Suave asked. "And how are you
Ellie?"
"We're fine," said Ellie's dad.
"Yeah, I guess so," said Ellie.
"So we all know this meeting is about Rick and his problem," said Ms.
Suave.
"He does NOT have a problem!" Rick's mom screamed. "Don't you dare say that
about my son!"
"Oh yes he does," said Ellie's mom.
"No he doesn't," said Rick's dad.
"He abused my daughter, my baby. My one and only precious daughter. And you
think he doesn't have a problem? I really think something's affecting your
brain," screamed Ellie's dad.
"Or yours," said Rick.
"Listen kid, don't dare talk to me like that. And don't lay a hand on my
daughter or I will press charges!" Ellie's dad threatened.
"Oooh, I'm so scared," said Rick, laughing.
"Shut up Rick you're so messed up and you have mental problems!" Ellie
screamed.
"Silence!!" Ms. Suave screamed as hard as she could. Everyone shut up.
"I can't tolerate this noise anymore! We're going to let each of you tell
us what happened. Rick, you're first."
"It all started when Terri broke up with me and found someone new. I was
upset. Ellie comforted me and then we started dating. We got along just
fine. We were the perfect couple," said Rick.
"At first," Ellie muttered.
"Shhh Ellie," said Ms. Sauve. "Continue Rick."
"So one day, she comes up to me and says that Terri got mad at her. I
calmly ask her why, and she tells me that Terri accused me of beating her.
That is something I would never do."
"Sure," said Ellie.
"Ellie, please let me finish!" Rick screamed.
"Whatever."
"So I scream at her really harshly and she starts to chicken out as if I
had beaten her up badly or something."
"Oh my gosh, you liar!" Ellie screamed.
"Listen child, let my son talk!" screamed Rick's dad. Rick's mom nodded in
agreement.
"Can you explain the night when you two had dinner?" Ms. Sauve asked.
"Oh, I sure can. You see, I invited Ellie out to dinner. We were chatting
about nonsense, you know, the usual."
"I see, but Ellie said you guys got into an argument. How do you explain
that?" Ellie's mom asked. "I can't wait to hear another one of your dumb
lies."
"I actually CAN tell you what really happened. Ellie and I got into an
argument because I felt she was hanging with the wrong crowd, I was simply
looking out for her, Mrs. Nate."
"It's NASH, not NATE! You idiot! You hurt my daughter and you know it!"
"Don't talk to my son like that!" Rick's mom screamed.
"Ladies! Let Rick finish," said Ms. Sauve.
"She ran out. I was really worried. I sat around for a bit. Then I came out
and found that some older boy beat Ellie up really badly and she was crying
for my help."
"Then how do you explain YOU running away from the scene?" Ellie's dad
asked.
"I was, um....scared. Scared to find out that Ellie was hurt. So I just ran,
I didn't want to see my girlfriend in a bad condition."
"Don't you mean 'ex'?" Ellie asked.
"Very funny, but I forgot to laugh!" Rick shot back.
"Stop it you two," said Ms. Sauve. "Now it's Ellie's turn."
"Now let me tell you what REALLY went on," said Ellie.
"Go on Ellie," said Ms. Sauve.
"Rick was right when he went on about how I comforted him and we just fell
in love and started dating. But then everything that came out of his mouth
was just a bunch of lies," said Ellie.
"So tell us what happened when you told Rick what you learned from Terri
about him," said Ms. Sauve.
"I came up to him and asked him if he beats girls. He said 'no, how could
you believe that?' and I was all 'sorry, just calm down. geez!' and he just
slapped me in the face very hardly." Ellie pointed to the scar on her face.
"I got pissed and decided to just dump him. He went all psycho after I
left. I could hear him screaming in anger."
"A whole different story," said Ms. Sauve. "Go on."
"The next day, he ran after me, asking for forgiveness. Stupid as I was, I
forgave him. We were both happy and everything went well. Meanwhile, my
friends were constantly trying to stop me from dating him, saying that he
is dangerous. I should've listened to them. Thanks to Rick, throughout this
whole process, I was insulting and hurting my friends. I feel so stupid to
this very moment."
"Don't listen to her, she's lying!" Rick screamed.
"You had your chance to talk, so let Ellie!" said Ellie's dad.
"I will not let you accuse my son like this!" Rick's mom screamed.
"My son will not suffer like this!!" Rick's dad screamed.
"Let Ellie continue," said Ms. Sauve.
"The night when we had dinner, Rick was right about the whole fight and
all. But then he started to lie again. I ran out, in tears. Rick ran after
me. He pushed me to the floor, kicking me and punching me in the stomach."
"Wow, that is intense," said Ms. Sauve.
"Oh, you wanna hear more? I told him to stop! He wouldn't stop he said he
would never stop! I was crying in pain calling for help! No one responded.
My stomach was in pain and I couldn't move!" said Ellie. She was now
sobbing uncontrollably. Ms. Sauve handed her a tissue.
"Then the ambulance came and Rick ran away."
"That's a lie!" Rick screamed.
"My daughter would never lie," said Ellie's dad.
"Yeah, she's so honest," said Ellie's mom.
"Oh forget that, she's lying. You believe me mom? Dad? You DO believe me,
right?" Rick asked.
"Honey, I'm so sorry. But tell us the truth. Did you really abuse Terri and
Ellie?" Rick's mom asked. Rick hesitated for a moment. "Did you? Did you,
Rick? Did you?"
"Yes mom. I did. I hurt them," said Rick. "I'm so stupid!! I'm mental and I
can't handle anything anymore!"
"You could have just told us that," said Rick's dad.
"I know, I know," said Rick.
"Rick, I'm sorry about you. But I'm pissed that you hurt our only girl,"
said Ellie's dad.
"Yeah, we almost lost her," said Ellie's mom.
"So Rick, you have a problem," said Ms. Sauve. "How do you and your parents
want to handle it?"
"Rick, we're gonna send you to a therapist every day after school. That's
how we should handle it for now," said Rick's dad.
"Ellie, we're sorry for everything," said Rick's mom.
"I'll deal," said Ellie. Everyone got up and left.
"You okay Ellie?" Ashley asked when she saw Ellie coming out of the office.
"Yeah, are you?" Marco asked.
"Yes, I guess I am."
The three of them walked to homeroom, hand in hand. The three musketeers!!!
