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.
