"Doesn't that an she planned to r*pe you from the very start? And what if she actually arranged the party and the ceremony just for that? She could have asked Eric to drag you to the party when she noticed you hadn't co.
As you said, Rebecca was supposed to be a bartender that night, but she wasn't because Eleanor asked her to take a day off. She must have done that so Rebecca doesn't interfere with her plan.
And you ntioned that Rebecca had a headache, and that's why she went to sleep. What if that was Eleanor's doing too? She knew that you would try to find Rebecca at the party and Eleanor didn't want that. Also, if Rebecca didn't have that headache, she would have most likely gone ho and—"
"And I would have to…" Rudy finished Eleanor's sentence with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah. Who would have thought all that was her doing… and for what…? So that she could r*pe you… wow. She was a thirsty bitch, not going to lie. She fell so low that she had to do sothing so disgusting? I can't believe she was ."
"Don't say things like that."
"Why? I am telling the truth."
"Believe it or not, she is you."
"I am not her! I am nothing like her! I would never do the things she did!"
"Yes, and neither would she. Look, I am obviously not trying to defend her, but if she did so much… that just shows how desperate she had beco. You have to keep that in mind. And you can't attest for sure that you wouldn't have done the sa thing had I, not ti traveled to 1989 or regained my mories. You don't know."
He asserted in a solemn voice.
"What happened after that? Did you two ever et again or continue your flings?" Eleanor asked with a serious look on her face.
"We didn't et for a few months. And I only visited Eric when you were away. Soon, I graduated from high school. Eika had already settled overseas, and Eric went to study abroad too.
So you stopped coming to Hel. You stayed in hotels, changed cities once in a while, and expanded your business worldwide. I had also moved to the next city for university, so even when you visited Hel, I wasn't there."
"So we never saw each other after that one… two-night stand?"
"You actually called once… on the phone. It was Saturday night, and I was at the club with Elise. Oh yeah, even when I went to the clubs, I never drank a sip… not even soft drinks because I never trusted anyone.
Elise used to drink, but I asked her if she could stop drinking, and she did. She was never an addict and only drank because she thought I drank too. So we only went to the clubs to dance and have fun. Also, the club was near our apartnt, so that was the best place we could go.
Anyway, I didn't notice my phone buzzing. After a few minutes, I went to the washroom to take a leak and took out my phone to take a picture. Like… you know how they stand in front of the mirror and take pictures.
I wasn't a fan of doing that, but Elise had made a rule that I must take ten photos of myself in a day, from which five of them should be with her. And she used to take a lot of candid pictures of . In short, she liked saving our monts and then talking about them.
So when I saw your missed call, I was… confused. At first, I thought you might have called by mistake. I wasn't sure if I should call you back or not. As I was pondering, my phone buzzed again, and it was from an unknown number.
I picked it up out of curiosity and heard your voice from the other side.
'So you hate so much that you have started ghosting , huh?' you asked.
I explained the situation to you, and you said you were joking. You then asked how I was doing and how things were going and all that. You know, the usual stuff that parents and relatives ask.
I asked about your life and all that. You then asked if I was in touch with Eric and Erika, and I said I lost contact with Erika after… you know… after I answered her confession. We never talked after that.
But I was in touch with Eric, although we rarely talked… like once or twice a month, since he was also overseas and the ti zone difference was terrible. But I always t Eric whenever he returned ho.
We talked for a few minutes, and then you jokingly asked if I had a girlfriend and replied honestly with a yes.
There was a one-minute silence from your side, and then you said, 'That's great.'
You tried to change the topic by asking if Eric had gotten a girlfriend. I said I don't know. We never talked about our love life, and it felt awkward. You asked how mom was doing.
And… you also ntioned Joe. I don't know if it was on purpose to tease or make feel shitty, but you asked how things were going between Mom and Joe. Maybe you were just trying to change the topic, and that slipped from your mouth.
Anyway, I just responded with, 'I don't know.'
You asked if I planned to visit Hel anyti soon, and I said my exams are coming up soon, so not in the next three months. In the end, you hung up the call after saying, 'Let's talk again soti.'
Eleanor raised her brow with an unimpressed look on her face and said, "So she was still thirsty for your dick after what she did?"
"Maybe she just wanted to talk with ? Look at you, for example, you never called to ask how I was doing."
Eleanor puckered her lips and muttered, "Because I am not a thirsty bitch like her."
"I saw how thirsty you were tonight."
"So, did you two ever et again, like face to face?"
Rudy smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes. We t again at Alice's grave."
