I Need Help With The Ending Of A Book I'm Writing.?

ok my book is about a girl who is being physically abused, but her friends have been trying to figure out why she was acting strange, they tried confronting her, talking to her, giving her and intervention, but nothing worked, one day the person who is beating her up knocked her out and her friends came into her house looking for her and found her on the floor passed out... then her friends sent her to the hospital.





(this isnt a good summary, but im not the best at writing summaries.:)





what should happen to end the book/??ive been stuck with this for such a long time! help is needed! thank you sooooo much :D








there's no sequel just so you know.

Make something unexpected happen.





Maybe she dies.





Or maybe she gets amnesia and never remembers what happened.





I really dislike 'and everyone lived happily ever after' stories unless they were written by one of the literary masters.

She was knocked out in her house? So this person beating her up must live with her, right? So is it her drunken, abusive father? Or maybe a stepfather, or uncle? I don't know the answer to that, but you could end it with a satisfying conclusion to this bully being sentenced to serve jail time, or if you want to make it incredibly interesting, do what my dad did. He walked in on his father hurting his mother, she had a black eye, etc, so he confronted him and knocked him unconscious, when he woke up, he threatened to kill him if he ever touched his mother again.





You could have a brother who was off to university in another country (who came to visit during summer), walk in on his sister being harmed. He takes action, and acts as the hero in the end.
Reply:The abuser comes to the hospital to visit the victim. The friends are there and tell the abuser they have made arrangements for the girl to stay with them instead of going home to more abuse. A confrontation occurs.
Reply:A fight! You need a good action chapter. The friends could end up fighting the abuser and she wakes up and someone gets caught in the middle and dies. The abuser panics and kills himself.





A bit tragic...but that would be a good ending, I think (if you could pull it off);
Reply:since there is no seguel, don't leave anything hanging. Tie up ALL of the loose ends. So, after her friends send her to the hospital, have the main character make a confession about what was happening, but have her not tell who it was out of fear of being killed. Her friends should go to the house and look for any evidence of who it was and not find anything. Then have one of them go back later and look again, only to have the person come out, thinking it was the main character and try to beat her up. Luckily, this friend has a cell phone and calls the police.





sorry i didn't finish answering last night. my computer froze.





hope I helped!
