Treatment, Finished,


Treatment:  Act 1, 2 & 3

 

Act 1:

It’s the first day of school and Bobbi is new to Bermondsey Academy. Miss Morris gets a girl called Amie to show Bobbi around the school and explain how the things work there. Amie and Bobbi bond really well and decide to have lunch together.  All of a sudden Bobbi starts rubbing her belly, not noticing what she’s doing when Amie makes a joke about Bobbi’s stomach.  Bobbi doesn’t laugh and Amie realises that Bobbi really is pregnant; Amie has promises to keep this a secret. Unfortunately, Jay, a male student at HAB, overhears the conversation and spreads the news around the academy. He starts off by telling his girlfriend, Kelly, who then proceeds to tell the whole academy. Bobbi’s secret is out!

Act 2:

Neither of the girls know about the rumour spreading around the school.  While Bobbi and Amie are sitting outside in the playground on a bench talking about their summer, Kelly comes along and starts to call Bobbi names. This gets Bobbi really mad and angry, as Bobbi was kicked out of her last school for anger issues Kelly did not make a smart choice. Bobbi walks over and clenches her fist to punch Kelly, but Kelly stops her hand and pushes her to the ground. Bobbi lays on the ground screaming in pain while rubbing her belly.  Amie runs over to help her but there isn’t much that Amie can do, as she notices blood trickling from under Bobbi’s skirt.  Amie rushes to call an ambulance.

Act 3:

Bobbi gets in the ambulance worrying for her baby’s sake. Bobbi is lying in the hospital bed as Dr Jones tells Bobbi the devastating news about her baby. She starts to sob silently to herself as Amie comes into the room, hearing the bad news Amie hugs Bobbi & stays by her side.  A curious Amie asks about the father of the baby, Bobbi looks up and begins to tell her story as she feels that she can trust Amie. Bobbi talks about Tom, the abusive foster carer, who has abused and raped her since she was 11. In shock Amie cradles Bobbi tightly in her arms as Bobbi breaks down in tears.
