Forget Regret
Forty Seven; The Tape (Part Two)
"Charley! Good gracious, I haven't seen you in forever!" Mike's mother cried as I walked into her house with Vic a few days later.
"Hi, Viv." I smiled weakly. "How have you been?"
"Enough about me. What on earth happened between you and Mike? All I know is that we're calling off the wedding two days in advance and nobody tells me anything!" She continued. "Sit down. I'll make you some tea."
"Mike's an idiot, mom. Duh." Vic replied.
"Don't talk about your brother like that!" She wagged a finger at him.
"Mike was with another girl at his bachelor party and didn't tell Charley." Vic replied, raising his eyebrows.
"He's an idiot! I am going to kill that boy! I always said to him, I said, 'Michael, you take good care of that girl because she needs someone! Don't you ever let her down because I swear that'll be the last thing you ever do! I put you into the world and I can take you out of it!' And he said 'Mom, I love her more than anything. I would never hurt her.' Yeah, I can tell. He's a dumbass." Viv fumed.
"I've never seen her like this." I whispered to Vic, stifling a laugh.
"Damn it, get that boy on the phone. Victor!" Viv yelled to her husband. "Call Mike and put it on speaker!"
Victor brought the phone in, waving at me and Vic.
Mike picked up the phone a few seconds later. "Hey, Ma."
"Don't hey ma me, mister. You're such a god damn idiot." Viv replied.
"What are you-"
"I was curious as to why I spent months planning your damn wedding and then it never happened. Now I know."
"Are you with Charley? Let me talk to her, it's important."
"No, mister, you listen to me. Next time I see you I'm going to whip you good, and-"
"Ma! I didn't sleep with anyone!" Mike cried. After the shocked silence on our end, he continued. "I couldn't remember anything, okay, and I knew deep down I could never do something like that. I called the club that we went to that night and asked to see the security footage. That's where I am right now. I was never with anyone else. Charlotte, crazy bitch, fuckin' gave me rufies or something. I can see her putting something in my drink. I didn't recognize her that night because I had been drinking and her hair was a different colour. I fell asleep at the bar, fast forward, Jaime comes and gets me an hour or two later. I just called Charlotte and she admitted it. She was 'Emilie' the whole damn time. Fuck, I'll bring the tape over to your house right now."
Still silence. "Um, okay." Viv finally squeaked out.
I put my head on Vic's shoulder and squeezed my eyes shut. "Why can't my life ever be normal?" I groaned.
"Hi, Viv." I smiled weakly. "How have you been?"
"Enough about me. What on earth happened between you and Mike? All I know is that we're calling off the wedding two days in advance and nobody tells me anything!" She continued. "Sit down. I'll make you some tea."
