“Did you hear about what we did to Jacob?” Angelica asked.
“No. What did you guys do?”
“Let’s just say we got even with him. Yesterday might’ve been the worst day of his life. I just wanted to let you know.”
Angelica stomped away.
“Umm, what was she talking about?” Vivian asked.
“I have no idea,” I admitted.
As if it were right on cue, Eddy turned the corner and walked over to us. He seemed concerned.
“What do you want?” I asked.
“Hi, Eddy.”
“Hey, Vivian. Hi, Heather.”
“I don’t want to talk to you,” I expressed.
“This’ll be quick. I just had a question. Why did you send Angelica and Erica to assault Jacob?”
“I didn’t. They did it on their own. They wanted to get even with him—Angelica was just here telling us. How did you miss her? She’s massive,” I pointed out.
“Oh. Well, do you know what they did to him?”
“I don’t, but I sincerely hope they did horrible and unspeakable things to him,” I offered.
“They jumped him in the night, dragged him through a forest, and plunged his head underwater. They could’ve drowned him,” Eddy said with concern.
“Dang! That sounds horrible!” I exclaimed.
“That’s exactly what I thought,” Eddy replied.
“I wish I had thought of that,” I chuckled.
“Heather, you can’t be serious,” Eddy remarked.
“You know full well by now that I am completely serious about what I just said.”
“Eddy, how did you find out about this?” Vivian asked.
“Frankie told me. He finds out about most things before anyone else.”
“What the hell do you want, Eddy?”
“I want you to realize where this feud with Jacob is heading. Just a few hours after you tried to smash his head in, two giant volleyball players tried to drown him. This is getting completely out of control,” Eddy pointed out.
“I know. It’s fabulous. Goodbye.”
I swiftly left before he had a chance to annoy me further. I couldn’t believe that the Terror Twins assaulted Jacob like that. Normally, I would’ve been overjoyed, but I felt a very tiny feeling of guilt—the size of an ant, you might say. Still, I didn’t care. This was his karmic consequence, and he deserved every second of it.
CHAPTER 18
INDIRA - 1 YEAR EARLIER
My growing relationship with Eddy was the main reason why things went downhill with Heather, and it was mostly my fault. There was no doubt about it. I put him above everyone else.
