Max: If you tell Belle anything, I will hurt you so much you, you will wish you were never born.

Roxy: Why are you doing this to me? What have I done to deserve this?

Max: I just no that you like me Roxy, Don’t deny it..

Roxy: I don’t like you..I hate you! Get away from me!!

Max: I will find you!

Roxy: Belle, answer the door I need to talk to you

Belle: I’m coming, I’m coming… Whats wrong?

Roxy: I no this is the last thing you want to hear, but Max raped me, I no, I no, it sounds crazy but I’m telling the truth and I couldn’t keep it in any longer. Your my best friend and I thought you needed to know.

Belle: how could you? Your supposed to be my friend and you slept with my boyfriend

Roxy: Belle it’s not like that!

Belle: I don’t believe you! Don’t talk to me, get out, GET OUT!!

Roxy: But belle, you needed to no!

Belle: GET OUT

Roxy: I can’t do this anymore! He’s ruining everything. Why does he have to do this to me? I feel so sorry for Belle; she shouldn’t be with that monster. But of course she doesn’t understand. I really need Belle at the moment. She’s MY best friend but she’s not here, no body is. She won’t speak to me; she won’t even look at me. I just can’t take it. It’s killing me. I have no one to turn to but Joe and sometimes I feel like he doesn’t understand. I’m dead inside. There’s no point in being here, I’m not wanted, belle hates me, Joe doesn’t understand and Max makes me feel used. I feel pointless, and it’s all because of him. His name makes me feel sick. Sick to the stomach. He doesn’t even understand how he makes me feel. I can’t sleep at night. Every time I close my eyes his face flashes before me. I’m scared. I just don’t want to be here any longer. I want to go. I am going to leave. It’ll make everything better. I’m a waste of space. I’m sure Joe will understand.

Roxy: I no you don’t want to talk to me, and that you hate me, but right now I hate my life, max has ruined it for me and threatened to kill me if I tell you, which now I have. I just wanted to say goodbye. I’m going to leave your life now and I just hope that some other poor girl isn’t max’s next victim…and by that I mean you.

Belle: You do talk some crap, you do, that’s it, you just walk away. You’re so dramatic. If this is how it’s going to be then go for it. I won’t be here when you’re lonely and have no-one.

Roxy: I’m not lying…you just wait and see.

Belle: What’s this…Roxy no!

Belle: Where on earth is she? I’ve looked everywhere I’ll give it one more go

Belle: Roxy what are you doing I’ve been looking for ages

Roxy: Just leave me alone I’m gunna jump

Belle: Roxyyyyy!! What are you doing? Get down! Your going to fall.

Roxy: maybe I want to fall. You don’t care anyway you said it earlier

Belle: Don’t be ridiculous Rox , you know I love you , you don’t need to do this GET DOWN

Roxy: I have made my mind up, its for the best , your better off without me stay here with HIM you say you love me but you don’t even talk to me, I can’t cope anymore . I want it to be over

Belle: look just come down, we can talk about this

Roxy: stay away from me , if you come up will jump , you know I will

Belle: ok ok just please think about what your doing! Just come down

Roxy: why should I it’ll make everything easier you can get on with your perfect little loved up life with no Roxy to think about ever again. I don’t want to be here.

Belle: Yes you do why are you thinking like this

Roxy: I can think what I like say goodbye to Joe for me

Belle: No Roxy don’t…Noooooooo…

Within this you will see a very long piece of speech by the character Roxy this is a suicide note that Emmy worked on with help from Me, Jess and Chris of which we have copyed into our script today. In our own time outside lesson time we all personally did some research into rape victims so we could then relate to the feeling of our character Roxy in more depth in order to help us write our script more successfully.
