Not sure, since you are the author you should be the one to come up with it.

Not Sure
Reply:Have a twist!


Kill the girl!


Get her pregnant by the abuser.


Reveal who the abuser is.


The abuser locks her up forever.
Reply:She dies. or kills her abuser.
Reply:it depends on which direction you want to go. you could say they called the police and the abuser was arrested and put in prison and so on and so forth. but you could liven up the plot a little bit and while your main character lays in the hospital in a coma or whatever, the friends get together, murder the bad guy, get away with it, and live happily ever after!
Reply:turns out that the person that was abusing her was herself. she was mentally ill because she was abused before as a child, %26amp; she murdered the abuser. memories from the past haunts her %26amp; she thinks the abuser still lives, resulting in her abusing herself.
Reply:ok, depending on what kind of book your writing there could be a couple of different ideas i can think of





1. abuser get payback, he is either killed or sent to jail to resolve the problem





2. she goes back to him and gets beaten up again. you could leave it at that or she could be killed by him





3. she could move and have the book be resolved as she is %26quot;born again%26quot; by leaving everything behind and starting again
Reply:one of her friends actually was abused herself by her father or stepfather growing up and has been keeping that to herself all this time. When she finds out about this she flashes back to her past and realizes to she can fight her demons by fighting her friends,
Reply:Sad ending: she dies


Happy ending: She gets out and is driveing home and is like %26quot;Free%26quot;
Reply:The person who has been abusing her shud get arrested and then the girl has been so permanatly mentally and physically abused that she has to go to a rehab-like place





But your the author, so I%26#039;m sure it will have a perfect ending!
Reply:maybee the doc should be like..do u want to tell me anything..and her lips are SO sore she cant say a word and her abuser just smiles and says oh..tht fall from the stairs definatly got u this time ur such a clumsy girl and he grabs her and takes her away while shes looking back at the doctor and hes smiling but shes thinking..help me!
Reply:The story should end with the nurse asking her how she got knocked out and her telling the truth and the abuser getting caught and going to JAIL.


OR


She denys shes getting beat up and the ABuser ends up killing her and her friends cry and THE END and the last page should have the phone # of the place 2 call if you getting beat up. THE END
Reply:well the gal cud get a revenge in the end as in the jennifer lopez movie %26#039;enough%26#039;


or she one of her friends (boy frnd) finds out abt it n confronts the %26#039;beater%26#039; or beats up the %26#039;beater%26#039;


n the prob is solved without the gal ever findin out how n y it ended.....
Reply:Well, you have thre choices:





1. Go the normal %26quot;happy ending%26quot; way, which in this case would be that the girl is no longer abused because the abusive person is killed, put in jail, etc.





2. Go the different way, which does not end happily, which would be that the abuser will not stop and the girl is either abused forever or is killed from abuse etc.





3. Combine them. For example, the girl dies from abuse and the abuser is punished (jail or killed etc) for it.





I can%26#039;t write the end for you, but i hope my ideas help!
Reply:she sadly dies, but then in the end she is reancarnated into an animal, another human, water.. etc. and tries getting her friends to notice her but its not working and then she finds a way and tells her firends what has been going on, but she cant talk so she finds seceret ways to change the weather or bark it pee hints or something lol..


if you decide to your this dedicate your book to me once you get it published..


my name: Kacy :)
Reply:it sounds pretty good actually. well, if you talk about the person who is abusing her in the book, and if it%26#039;s like a boyfriend her age or a little older, there could be a part where one of the friends goes over to his house and says something to him, or like punches him and runs or something. and then, maybe, the girl who is being abused could have a person who was abused talk to her (and it could be someone who is in a wheelchair because of their abuse so that she can see just what can happen if she lets her abuse keep happening), and she could realize that she shouldn%26#039;t let this happen anymore.





i was actually going to write a book sort of like this, but i had no time to. it was going to be about a girl who was abused by her boyfriend and this new friend that she makes who gives her the courage to leave him by the blunt way she lives her life, and by the choices she makes (like, the friend%26#039;s character was going to be someone who is really simple and who doesn%26#039;t let unneccesary crap happen to her [like abuse]). i don%26#039;t know if my storyline helps at all, but if you need any more help, just ask!!





you know you love me. xoxo, gossip girl ;)
Reply:It seems like a common story that happens to many children although it is very sad it can end in many different ways that is up to you on how you want it to end because it has and will continue to happen unfortunately to many it can end in survival - death - happiness or horrible it is basically what ever you decide because it is simply life for too many and no matter how you end it most likely if it is a reality ending then it%26#039;s already been ended before i am not trying to be mean but i am just honest and it%26#039;s a sad horrible thing for any child to have to be living in. Good Luck dear and i hope it ends happy rather than sad.
Reply:from one writer to another writer...just don%26#039;t tie all loose ends up at the end or solve the story by having your character die. These are used by amateur writers all of the time which gives away the fact that they are amateur writers. I would in a sense, end it where and when it is still interesting. Not only is this closer to reality but if your book were to become successful, this would give you reason to write book #2.
Reply:She is put on life support but eventually recovers but her friends hatch a ingenious scheme to pay back her abuser. They plant drugs in the abusers car and tip the cops off or they cut the breaks on his/her car....your a writer you know what im getting at ...basically they have to get away with whatever they do to the abuser.
Reply:I think it depends on the mood of the rest of the book.





You could give it an uplifting ending where the girl confides in her care takers at the hospital about the abuse and gets help, like moves in to a safe house, etc.





You could make it sort of a sad but happy in a twisted way like the abuser ends up stalking her after she gets help then ends his life blowing his own brains out because she left him...





Really It is your book though, I hope these ideas help get your creative juices flowing again, GOOD LUCK!!!
Reply:I would advise having a bitter-sweet ending... Maybe she has to move so that the person who%26#039;s abusing her will leave her alone, so she has to leave all of her friends behind, but they promise to IM each other or something. If it%26#039;s one of the girl%26#039;s parents, perhaps she ends up having to move to a foster home. I%26#039;m not sure... It really has to come from the writer%26#039;s imagination!





Good luck!
Reply:Hm, maybe you should make it that she has been abused because of a crime that she might have committed, or maybe because of what she %26#039;really%26#039; is? Possibly, you could lead the characters to who has been beating her, finding out that there is much behind the story than what they really thought that they knew. It%26#039;s up to you to really decide what happens to your characters, I don%26#039;t know how they act, so I really can%26#039;t tell you the best ending to the book. But, I do hope that you enjoy writing it. I%26#039;m sure it will end up good. Just thing about some plot-twisters that would really make the book rather interesting.
Reply:well just use your imagination well... not that but think what would happen in the real world if the characters and plot were here don%26#039;t get stuck! keep on going we need more authors like you people who actually use their time wisely. well what i would advise and conclude with is observe people and what they do especially girls of this time maybe say..... her friends went with her to the hospital and once she was recovering from the beating as she was laying their she quietly explained what happened but she left out certian parts from fear and then continue your story. best wishes on your book sincerely Juan.O a.k.a (1-0)
Reply:umm I guess... after two days, she was still stuck in the hospital, the nurse wouldn%26#039;t let anybody visit her no matter what happened. I was worried about my best friend, i didn%26#039;t know if she was ok, or even alive. There were couple of blackouts which worried me alot about my friend. I knew there was something strange about this hospitsal, but I couldn%26#039;t figure out what. I felt wind passing by me even though all the window were closed. The wind whispered something in my ear as it went by, but I wasn%26#039;t sure if it was actually the wind...... Sry not my best but I hoped I helped ^^ I%26#039;m only 10 so sry if it didn%26#039;t help
Reply:How about this. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith once penned a song called Janie%26#039;s Got a Gun. You could listen to the song a few times, read the lyrics and allow yourself to become inspired by this brilliant artist.Here is a small portion:


%26quot;What did her daddy do?


It%26#039;s Janie%26#039;s last I.O.U.


She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain


She said %26#039;cause nobody believes me. The man was such a sleeze.


He ain%26#039;t never gonna be the same.%26quot;
Reply:The girl is in a coma and the friends are racked with worry so they try and find out who the abuser was. Make a twist (the identity of the abuser) someone that they know. Maybe, the abuser figures out that they are meddling so he/she locks one of them up etc. but in the end it ends somewhat happily, the abuser gets punished. You don%26#039;t need to make it fake cheery. It can%26#039;t just be they live happily ever after. End it off in a hopeful way, like they are on the road to getting over it, therapy. Like 2 Moths later and they are dealing with there issues and have grown tighter as friends.





Hope that helps. But your the author, so make it your own. Don%26#039;t make it all crazy and twisted depending on who your target audience is. Make it realistic and not too heavy on the morbidity and depressing stuff unless the audience is older or whatever. :D Good luck.
