She explains that at a very young age she was raped by a friend of her father, who was also a respected, solid citizen, and did not even realize she was pregnant until she was in her fifth month and her mother walked in on her while she was taking a shower. We learn that Erica never told her father about the rape. At the end, Erica says: Look, Kendall, I would like to try to be a mother to you, but I m not going to force myself on you. It s up to you. If you ever want to see me again, you know where to find Erica leaves, and Kendall contemplates the torn up photos on the bed.
