Chapter 67 That's Love You Idiot
"What do you mean?" Victoria said.
"How can't you see that Alice was in love with you? You even sounded like you were a little in love with her too. How do you not see that?" I said.
"What are you talking about?" Victoria said.
"Oh my god! There's seriously no way you're sitting here and telling me you don't think Alice was in love with you." I got up off the bed and started pacing. I loved and hated that story, but it made me so anxious I couldn't not move my body.

"Alice and I were good friends. That's it." Victoria said.
"Ok, we're going to do a little test," I said. I got on the edge of the bed on my knees and sat back onto my feet. "I'm going to ask you some questions and you just answer them honestly to the best of your knowledge. Ok?"
Victoria sat up and said, "Yeah, ok."
"At the time you were in the theatre troupe, if you had the ability to, would you have spent the rest of Alice's mortal human life with her by her side?" I said.
"Yes, of course," Victoria said.
"Ok," I said. I resisted the urge to scream at her. "Do you think, to the best of your understanding, that Alice would have spent the rest of her life by your side?"
"Of course she would. No doubt." Victoria said.
"That's love you idiot!" I said. "Both of you loved each other. What's so hard to understand about that?"
"No. We were just good friends," Victoria said.
"Oh my god! This is insane!" I said. "If you could have, would you have kissed her?"
"Yes," Victoria said.
"If you could have made love to her, would you have?" I said.
"Alice is going to be here, tonight, in this city! We can go see her! I just bought tickets to her show. And VIP passes backstage," I said.
"No! Why?" Victoria said.
"What? You want to see her don't you?" I said.
"Yes! But she's going to hate me!" Victoria said covering her face in her hands.
"No, she won't!" I said. "How about this? I'll talk to her first and find out if she wants to see you and then I'll tell you so you won't have to face her resentment if she does resent you."
"Ok," Victoria said, still covering her face and mouth. It was actually kind of hard to hear her talk with her hands over her mouth like that.
"Let's go see if Chad is still at the diner!" I said. "It's been a million years and he still isn't back yet."
"Ok," Victoria said as she got dressed.
I dressed myself as well, and we headed out the door. We made our way over to the diner across the street. We looked around and saw Chad sitting at a table playing with his food.
He had two other people at the table that I didn't recognize, but Victoria seemed to. She hurried over to the table, while pretending not to.
"Brad," she nodded at one of them. "Thad," she nodded at the other one. "What do you want?"
"We wanted little mister 'I'm not actually dead'. And now that he's here, we get to have a little chat." Brad said while looking at me.
"Oh, really?" I said. "Give me one good reason not to murder you both right now? You think you have me cornered, but that couldn't be further from the truth. You'd both be dead already if I wasn't such a generous person."
"Well, you're going to want to hear this then," Thad said. He pulled out a phone and placed it on the table. He pressed play on a recording. "Hi, uh, my name is Johnny Calabrese and I've been abducted by some real fruitcakes. No offense to fruitcakes. Some of my best friends are fruitcakes.
But, uh, they really know how to pack it in, if you know what I'm saying."
"Shut up, old man!" Said a voice. There was a thud and a grunt from Johnny as someone presumably hit him.
Thad stopped the recording. "What do you have to say about that, wise guy?"
