True (coughing up blood, she falls down on her knees): I am not a loser

Sawyer (coming to True's defense): Please stop abusing my friend

Bully 1(to Sawyer): Well, isn't it bookworm?

Sawyer (preparing herself for a fight): I may be a girl, but I can still kick your butt

Scene 3: After School- The Davis' house- Brooke's room

True (laying down on the bed, she reads Brooke's diary): Today in which is April 8, 2008 marks the end of the world for me. I am pregnant and Victoria hates me so much she doesn't want anything to do with me. Who knew that I would be a mother at twenty years old? My baby is the product of rape and it is all of my fault. I am severely damaged and fear getting close to anyone. May be having an abortion seems like the right plan after all.

Brooke (walking into the room): True what are you doing in my room?

True (lying, she tries to hide the diary underneath a pillow): OH, it is nothing important

Brooke (angry, she snatches her diary out of True's hands): True Elizabeth Davis, why were you reading my diary?

True (crying): Mom, I thought that you loved me. Why were you planning to abort me before I was born?

Brooke (tearing the entry out of the diary): I was having an extremely bad day at the time that I wrote the journal entry. I had just returned home from the hospital where I found out that I was pregnant. Nine months later, you were born on December 20, 2008. I loved you enough to give you life, that has to count for something, right?

True (sobbing, she yells): Mom, I had a very bad time at school today. I failed my audition to be on the cheer-leading team. Plus, I was bullied. You had just made my day to be even more worse. I can't believe that I am actually a product of your rape.

Brooke (pulling True into an embrace): Come over here, girlie, you need a hug

(Feeling lightheaded, True starts having a seizure in which frightens Brooke. True has epilepsy and Brooke quickly comes to terms with the situation at hand. A crying Brooke carries True outside to her car and drives to the hospital)

True (waking up from her coma, she cries out for Brooke): Mommy..

Brooke (sitting down at True's bedside, she takes True's hand in hers): Yes, Ted, I am here

True: What happened to me?

Brooke (choked up): Ted, you had a seizure at home so I brought you to the hospital

True (embracing Brooke): Mom, I almost died and you saved my life. I love you and thank you for everything that you have done for me.

Brooke (crying): I love you

True (smiling): I love you too

Brooke (laying down beside True in bed): You will always be my baby no matter what your age is

True (becoming sad at the thought of dying): What if my soul departs from my body and flies away?

Brooke (stroking True's hair): You'll be in my heart

True: I feel damaged no more because you are with me

Brooke (tickling True): Don't give up hope. You are loved.

True (laughing): I understand
