If I were ever in the position as Melinda in the novel "Speak" I would've not only called the cops, I would've told them what happened because no one should ever have to go through being raped, abused, and being violated. Someone who were to go through that would leave them with serious physical, emotional and mental problems. I don't think anyone should get away with with ruining someone's life by raping them, the person who commits a crime like that deserves the worst. I would've definitely told the police everything. I wouldn't care about all my friends disowning me and no longer associating with me and I wouldn't even try to explain what happened to me because it's none of their business and they most likely wouldn't believe me. Especially my  ex- best friend that her current boyfriend raped me.
