One night she is hospitalized but denies that Mark has put her there. Kelli gets suspicious about the bruises that Elizabeth has sustained.

Finally, when Elizabeth can no longer take the abuse, she decides to end the relationship, Days later she receives a violent text from him and files a restraining order against him: If Mark violates it, the school will contact the police and he'll be arrested.
