Wow! What a great question! First, Celia would not have had a new shirt to wear and may never have had the courage to go to the counselor’s office and get help. Booker and Hazel would have been left feeling guilty and wondering if they were to blame for Addison’s decision. Damion may never have met Addison or Booker, and his relationship with Avery may not have been mended. Damion and Booker also became friends. Overall, everyone was better off because Addison survived, proving that no man is an island unto himself.

Overall most of the characters wouldn't have felt as brave facing their own issues. I think many of them would feel unresolved regarding Addison's death, especially Booker.
This is so true. I feel the most important event that would've not happened would have been the defining choice if turning her mother in to the authorities for abuse.
