Liz opens the door and Lucky is standing there.
L: Hey.
E: Hey.
L: I brought your, uh homework because you weren't in class today.
E: {sarcastically} Oh I'll get right to it.
L: It was mostly an excuse to see you. Can I come in?
E: Yeah, I guess.
L: Thanks. So how are you doing?
E: Pretty terrible. I told Gram that I caught the flu on the way home from the dance so at least she hasn't asked a lot of questions.
L: Have you, um, thought about telling her?
E: No
L: Maybe she could help.
E: I don't want my Gram hovering over me making appointments for examinatiions and signing me up for classes on how to survive... whatever.
L: Well maybe you should be examined Elizabeth.
E: Listen I owe you big time. Your whole family for what they did for me that night. You probably even saved my life. But if you really want to help me now, just stop asking about it. All I want to do is forget.
L: How can you forget something like this?
E: You don't even know what happened.
L: Yes, I do.
E: No you don't --
L: I --
E: You can't! He grabbed me Lucky. He grabbed me. He threw me down on the ground and he pinned me down. I couldn't even move. He was breathing so hard I thought he was going to die. I wished... I wished that he had died. He raped me, Lucky. He raped me. {Lucky reaches for her and holds her close}
NEXT SCENE
E: I'm sorry.
L: For what?
E: For everything I guess.
L: Elizabeth you didn't do anything wrong, okay? I should have met you at the dance!
E: No. It was stupid you know? I didn't have to be in the park and I didn't have to take that path.
L: It's not your fault! You didn't know anything bad was going to happen to you there. Why would you? Look, how many nights do we cut through the park and think nothing of it? We live in a place where men don't do this to women.
E: {sarcastically} Well, I guess not. I don't want to think about it anymore, and I don't want anyone else to know. Promise me you won't tell anyone.
L: You need to see a doctor.
E: Promise me!
L: I won't do anything unless you ask me to. But you need to get tested.
E: Your aunt gave me the morning after pill so I know I'm not pregnent.
L: What about the rest?
E: I'm probably okay. Anyway if I see a doctor someone might find out.
L: We could go someplace confidential.
E: I can't. You promised.
L: Okay, is there anything else I can do?
E: Help me with my math?
L: Yeah. Whatever you want. {Lucky walks over to couch and pulls out his math book}
L: I mean that I'll help you no matter what, okay?
E: Thanks. {Lucky opens up the book}
L: Let me see. Where are you in geometry here? I 'm on chapter 12 but you know that, I'm in the advanced math class. So what are you doing?
NEXT SCENE
E: So x=cosine y?
L: Perfect.
E: I can't believe I just did that! I'm terrible at math! You know, I read somewhere that I'm a non-linear thinker. You must be a really good teacher.
L: Nah. Well, I'll help you anytime you want.
E: Well, maybe tomorrow unless I go to school.
L: Well, don't push yourself Elizabeth. I can bring you your homework again. It's not a big deal.
E: You know, if I was really sick and none of this had happened, I wouldn't even bother with this. Who knows? Maybe I'll start getting straight A's. {Lucky laughs quietly}
L: You sure about not telling anyone? Because Elizabeth you need help.
E: I'm fine. {She gets up and hands him the shirt he gave her to cover up after the rape}
E: Here's your shirt. I washed it. Thanks for loaning it to me. Thanks for the math lesson.
L: Sure. You know, I could make you a tape. Music sometimes gets you out of your head, you know? I listen to a lot of different stuff so maybe there's something you like.
E: {nodding} Hmm. Whoever you think is good.
L: Okay
E: Okay {Liz walks over to the door hinting that it's time for Lucky to go. Lucky grabs his stuff and stands at the door with Liz.}
L: Um, give me a call if there's anything you need.
E: I will. {She shuts the door and Lucky lingers outside thinking. Liz goes over to a chair and curls into a ball with a sad look on her face.}
