(Melanie Pov)
I just couldn't believe what I had heard. How could someone do that to her? I knew that Sam wouldn't want to tell Cat so for her own good I decided to tell her. I went to my cell and called Cat. I felt kind of guilty about it but I also knew that she needed to know for her sake and Sam's. After a few minutes she picked up
Conversation
Cat: HI Melanie!
Melanie: are you alone or is Sam with you?
Cat: I'm alone; about to leave school, we had a project. I think Sam is already asleep.
Melanie: good there is something I have to tell you
Cat: is it about Sam? Something is awfully wrong and I'm worried sick
Melanie: I know what it is. Sam didn't want to tell you to avoid hurting your feelings. But now she is depressed because of it.
Cat: please tell me. I would rather know than see her in constant sorrow
Melanie (takes a deep breath) your uncle tried to rape her
Cat: WHAT!

After a few more minutes on the phone with Melanie I hung up. I felt a wave of anger and guilt. My rage was toward my uncle. He had raped a woman years ago and he said he was done, but then he tries to do it on my friend? I felt so guilty for not figuring it out sooner because my uncle had left weeks ago. I should have told Sam to tell me right then. I knew what I had to do as soon as I got home. Talk to Sam and tell her everything was going to be okay and that I was there for her.
