Chapter 18

Conner

Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have left her there like that, but I was pissed off. How could she think that communicating with Heather was a good idea? Right away my phone started ringing. I knew it was Amy, I just chose to ignore her. Both of us were too stubborn to admit one was wrong and with everything going on, I figure it would be best to walk away and cool down, instead of taking my frustrations out on her.

I was only gone for about fifteen minutes and I didn’t really leave the parking lot. I pulled my truck around back and just sat there. Back before I met Amy I had a bad temper. I had learned to control it, but sometimes, if things frustrated me enough, it would send me over the edge.

Heather was a big problem for me. Yes, I’d slept with her to gain her trust and get information to save my sisters marriage. I don’t regret what I did, because every single time I look at one of those three kids and see how happy they are, I know it was worth it. The only part I regret was the part where it had hurt Amy. You have to understand, I wasn’t used to being responsible for other people’s feelings. Amy was the first real relationship I had ever had. She was different from all the others, but I still somehow took that for granted.

At the time, we weren’t exactly in a situation to call what we had a relationship. It was more an affair. It wasn’t like Amy could be with me when I wanted her to. My fight then had only just begun. A part of me did think that sleeping with Heather would finally set Amy over the edge enough for her to want to leave her husband for good. Little did I know he would turn out to be a complete whack job.

After the truth all came out, I made it clear to Heather just how much I hated her. I told her to stay away from my family. Maybe she didn’t understand that Amy was included in that threat. By that time, Heather was already involved with Rick and I was sure she soon found out that Amy was involved with me. I don’t know how she figured things out. Maybe Rick was just using her for some sick master plan? We may never know, and I really didn’t care, either. If both of them were to get hit by trucks, it wouldn’t have bothered me in the least.

Even if what she was claiming to Amy was the truth, I still didn’t want to reach my hand out and do something nice for the girl. Maybe I was an asshole in Amy’s eyes. I didn’t really give a damn. She needed to understand that you can’t dance with the devil for free. There are always consequences. It wasn’t a coincidence that as soon as she went to see Amy, the salon was being vandalized.
