After The Dinner Party

Bags

Soundtrack-(Bags Clario)

I woke up the next morning still in shock of what had been happening with Robert. This was actually insane, what woman would do such a thing?! This is a whole different level of "whore". But she must be more than a whore if she really erased memories of me from Roberts mind. Or was he just acting? Was this his way of ghosting me? Is it even possible to just suddenly not even exist to someone? I guess so.
I realized that all of my stuff was still at Roberts house, and Kit was still with Susan. I really need to focus on Kit but I miss Robert more than I thought I would.
I returned back to my old house to grab some of Kits things, Susan said I could stay with her for awhile until things return to normal. I don't even think I have a normal anymore.
When I went back to my old house, mothers things were still all over. I'm happy to leave that house abandoned. However I'm leaving all the memories abandoned too. The memories of when I first got home from seeing Robert for the first time. I remember it so vividly still.
It was about a year and a half ago,
(flashback to Roberts Coming Home From War Party)
I had been waiting for Mother and Kit to go to sleep. Mother was drunk as always, on some sort of vodka mixed with punch that was left over from the night before, which contained Rum, I worried that she was going to get  alcohol poisoning, but what difference would it make? She's mentally not with us anymore due to how drunk she is all the time. And I take care of Kit on my own by selling my poetry so what does it matter? Mother never cared about me anyways. But finally, Mother and Kit were alseep and I had my window to leave. Literally, I had my window. If I really wanted to I could walk out the front door, nobody would care. But I didn't want my loud footsteps because I was wearing heals to wake up Kit, plus I felt so sneaky which was sorta fun. So there I went, climbing down the trellis and back onto the ground, and running to the building where all the parties took place. Classical music filled the room and I always admired the ladies ballgowns, I always wore the same dark purple dress and I always had my hair up. I walked into the ballroom and accidentally bumped into someone, that someone was Robert. That was the first time I ever met him.
"Woah there M'am." he said, catching me.
"I'm sorry, uh, new heals."
He looked down at my shoes.
"Ah I see, you should be okay once you get used to them." He said, laughing.
"Oh I hope so, if not that would be pretty embarrassing." I said.
"Are you here with your family?" He asked.
"No, I just heard there was a coming home from war party for some of the soldiers, I think it's mainly for the Colonel though."
"That would be me." He said, smiling and holding his hand out.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know this was all for you."
"Oh it's not all for me it's for the soldiers too."
"Figured, I'm y/n by the way."
"I"m Colonel Shaw but you can call me Robert."
I smiled, then his mother pulled him away and I didn't speak to him for a week or two. But it's funny how vividly I remember that moment.

(End of flashback)
While packing my bags up from Roberts house before he got home, I took one last look at the house, and then closed the door behind me.

I will get to the bottom of this. Whatever Andrea did to Robert, I'll do right back to her.
