Elizabeth:
I-I fell - I tripped over the curb-I [Marie grabs her from behind]

Marie:
[hysterical, emotional] You look in the mirror!

Elizabeth:
[mutters] Or what?

Marie:
Tell me you did that to your face by falling! [pushes past her]

Elizabeth:
Mom - where - [follows her mom, who goes to Elizabeth's room] Mom, what are you doing?

Marie:
[starts rifling through her things] You weren't in a car accident the other night. He hit you, didn't he?

Elizabeth:
No, no.

Marie:
Kelli said she saw him crawling out of the window. He was here that night, wasn't he? You have been lying and you have been sneaking around to protect what? A boy who hits you?

[emotional] You don't get it. I love him. I can't live without him; I will always love him.

Marie:

Elizabeth:
You don't understand, okay? It was my fault! [crying; Marie comes over and clasps her head in her hands]

Marie:
You get that thought out of your head. Do you hear me? [after some seconds embraces her with a deep sigh]
