Ellie went for the test again to confirm the results yesterday, alone.

This was what she texted me.

E: Jesse, I am going for the test today. No need to accompany me, I want to face this alone.
Me: Ok Ellie, but promised to call me when you got your results ok?
E: No probs. Thanks, Jesse….

While waiting for Ellie’s call, I had lunch with Trey.

I felt that I should have just go ahead and accompany Ellie to the clinic instead.

Good thing Trey’s with me here.

Then, my phone rang.

I picked it up immediately.

Me: Ellie, how’s things?
E: It’s negative! Jesse, it’s negative.
Me: Oh Ellie, that’s great. Where are you now?
E: I’m still at the clinic…
Me: Ok, stay there. I will be right there.

I told Trey about the good news and went to meet Ellie without him.

There’s still something on my mind that I needed to ask Ellie, something that I can only ask now that Ellie is free of the AIDS issue.

I met Ellie outside the clinic and we went over to Clarke Quay and sat by the river.

E: Jesse thanks for being with me.
Me: What are best friends for? But Ellie, I want to ask you something…
E: What?
Me: You said on that day at the clinic, that the last time you had sex with you ex was 2 months ago… At that time, aren’t you going out with Cameron?
E: Yes. It was not on purpose… We had both drank too much that day… It’s just a one night stand… No feelings involved. I loved Cameron, I never thought of cheating on him. Never…

E broke down after saying all that.

I can see that breaking up with Cameron affect her a lot more than the possibility of getting infected with AIDS or HIV… Also the fact of the possibility of her passing the virus to Cameron has affected her a lot.

Last night, she cried her hearts out.

Last night, I saw the weak side of E.

Before we parted last night, E received a text from C.

Apparently, Trey told C about the results.

C asked to meet E this morning.

E told him everything, from the one night stand with her ex and most importantly, the fact that she really loved him.

They did not patch up…

Even though C did forgive E…

‘It’s impossible for us to get back together right now, Eleanor. I need time. I’m sorry.’ E told me that was what C told her before he left.

I guess that was unavoidable. Although E did not meant to cheat on C. She did, with her one night stand with her ex, even if she did not mean to.

I guess that’s why C could not get back with her. It’s not the fact that E has put him in the danger of infecting AIDS but the fact that E cheated on him. He loved E a lot, Trey told me. I was not sure when Trey and C got so closed.

But the fact is, E and C are over for now.

I still hope that they will get back together one day. They were so happy together until the AIDS issue…

Well, at least the AIDS issue has been cleared now. Things are back on track, although E’s not the same anymore. Well, no more casual sex for her now.

For Trey and me, we are finally able to have time to develop our relationship without having to worry about our friends. Trey has been really nice throughout the Eleanor’s episode. I am glad that I met him, a guy that is willing to wait.

I am really glad that Eleanor did not have AIDS.

I am really glad that I got Trey as my boyfriend.

I am sad that E and C are over though. If only the AIDS issue did not happened, we will be two happy pair of couples.
