The Diary Of Jane

Starry Night Isn't Just A Prom Theme

     Sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been having a few problems... Eric and I are, I don't know really. We started out great, but he has a few problems. He gets mad, really easily. He'll hit me, and then he'll say sorry, and I always believe him when he says that he'll never do it again. But he always does.

     Today is prom night, and somehow I got mom and dad to let me go out. They think that I'm at the library, and am studying for a big test. Anna had a dress that fits me pretty well, and so we all went.

     It started out great and fun, but then everything started to go down hill. Anna's water broke while we were dancing. Derek took her to the car, and I said that Eric and I would meet them at the hospital. I went back to get our stuff, while Eric went and warmed up the car. When I got there, he pulled me into the back seat, and he... he raped me.

     I kept screaming, but he just kept punching me and telling me to shut up. It went on for hours it seemed; and when he was done he threw me out of his car naked, threw his shirt out of the car window, and then drove off.

     I walked the 8 miles to the hospital, and when I walked through the front doors, I passed out. Right before I hit the floor I saw the starry night become closer and closer to me.

     That's how I found her, you know? When she went to the hospital, some people from the school were there, and someone took it to the newspaper. It took me over 2 weeks to figure out that I could find out who she was. Who she belonged to. But by then the damage had been done. When I found the newspaper article, it had told me what had happened, who did it, and what happened afterwards.

     It said that she was at prom, when her best friend Anna Efaw, went into labor. Her boyfriend said that he was going to take her to the hospital to see her, but instead he raped her in the back seat of his car. They didn't release his name, but they did say that he was found dead in a ditch somewhere. He wasn't wearing a seat belt, and when he hit a tree while driving drunk, he flew right out of the window and died. No one was really that upset.

     His parent's died when he was little and he was being raised by his aunt. They said that they used to hit him when he was little, so that was the reason the newspaper gave as to why he hit and raped her.

     Her full name was Jane Amellia Shutersman. They didn't help me in the address department, but I could find her address a lot easier than her last name. I found her 3 month's after he raped her, and here is everything that she had to say up till then.
