Tape 4 side B: Hannah tells us she loves poetry, how she would write poems everyday to help her. One day this guy Ryan was showing her his poems and she showed him one too. He took her poem and added it to the schools gazette paper. He didn't tell her he was taking it, or adding it he just did. She felt really betrayed when this happened.
Tape 5 side A. This is finally the tape about Clay. The first thing you hear is her saying oh Romeo." She says that she has never once heard anything bad or negative about Clay. She also says how Clay is in these tapes, is a lot different than how most of the others are in the tapes. They didn't talk too often, until at a party. She wanted something good to happen from going to the party, so she spoke to him. They say on the couch and had a long conversation, but it wasn't too serious. After wanting to find a quiet place to talk, the found a room upstairs and went to talk. They ended up laying down and they ended up kissing. After they kissed a few times Hannah freaked out because last time she kissed someone a rumor went around that a lot more happened. She yelled at him to leave and once he was out the room she started to cry.
After Clay walked out a drunk couple walked in and didn't notice Hannah because she had say down on the ground next to the bed. The girl was way more drunk than the guy, he barely even drank. He had a guy wait outside the door so he could try to do something with the girl. She ended up being too drunk so he went to leave. The guy guarding the door asked to go in with the girl for five minutes before he had to leave. He ended up doing stuff to her without her knowing because she was passed out drunk. Hannah was too scared to say anything, but so was the first guy in the room.
After the party the next day, Hannah went to Tonys house and dropped off her bike saying how she didn't need it anymore. He says he should have known she was suicidal, giving away her stuff, changing her hair. Several days later he got a package, the one with all the tapes. He knew something was wrong and called her parents to tell her something was wrong. He decided to pass on the tapes because he knew that was what Hannah wanted.
The next tape talks about how she went to a party and left some guy mess around with her.
The very last tape is for her school counselor. She went to his house asking for help, telling him she was thinking of killing herself and all that has happened to her, and he told her that she either needed to confront the situation or pretend it didn't happen and move on from it. She decided to leave and he didn't really attempt to stop her, and she thought that that was enough proof that no one really cares about her and says she's sorry.
Clay flips the tape, and its static for a while, and finally he hears her say "Thank you."
I don't know what I would do if I went through all of this or knew someone who did. I think I would be really scared and would have feelings of guilt for a long time, especially if I felt like I could have done something to change her mind.
