All of a sudden, I felt someone staring at me. When I looked up, I saw Victoria standing at the entrance of the ballroom. What in the hell is she doing here? God, give me the strength not to pound the fuck out of her. I glanced around the room for Josh. I saw him talking to some friends from college. My head snapped back to Victoria. I turned back to Elizabeth. “Excuse me, Elizabeth. I need to take care of something.” When I started heading over to Victoria, Gunner jumped up and came to my side. He took me by the arm and leaned down into my ear. “Heather, why don’t you let me take care of her?” As we kept walking toward her, I turned to Gunner. “I’m tired of these crazy-ass, good-for-nothing, stupid bitches. I’m going to finish this.” Gunner let go of my arm, but he kept walking along with me. When I was standing in front of Victoria, the smile that spread across her face made me sick to my stomach. I grabbed her arm and pulled her right back out the door and down the hallway, taking her away from the ballroom.
