Laughing, Victoria put her hands on her hips as she tilted her head to the side. “Oh yeah? And what’s your gift…Manda?”
Oh my god! What a bitch!
“Well, you see, I can spot a bitch a mile away. And, honey, I spotted you from two miles away. Mess with my friend, and you’ll have three very angry girls waiting for you in a dark alley one night. ” Amanda cracked her knuckles.
I wanted so badly to start laughing, but a thought crossed my mind. When did Amanda start cracking her knuckles? She hates it when Ari does that. I shook my head to clear my thoughts.
Victoria stood up a little taller. “Are you threatening me? And who are these other girls?”
Throwing her head back, Amanda laughed. “Oh, honey, you should wish it was only a threat. I forgot to mention my two other friends. We have each other’s backs—always have and always will. You hurt Heather in any way, and I’d be more than happy to introduce you to Ari and Ellie. ”
Victoria gave Amanda a dirty look before turning at me. She leaned in toward me and smiled slightly as she got right in my face. “I’m sure you’ve never satisfied him like I did. You’ll never be able to give him a blow job like I did. BJs from me were his favorite thing, but I’m sure you know all about how much Josh likes his BJs…now, don’t you, Heather?” She tapped my nose with her finger before walking out of the restroom.
I’m going to be sick.
“Holy fucking hell. What a bitch! Ari is so going to kick her ass. God, I can’t wait to tell her about this one. She makes Lynda look like a—” Amanda turned around to see me with my hands on my knees.
I can’t breathe. Oh. My. God.
“Holy hell, Heather. What’s wrong?” Amanda asked.
I looked up at her. I didn’t even know what to say. It was Lynda all over again. So many times, she had called or sent emails, detailing her sex life or relationship with Josh. Now, it was happening all over again. I’d only talked to Ari and Ellie about it. I’d told Josh that Lynda was contacting me, but I never told him what she’d said. I couldn’t handle it anymore, so I’d finally changed my number and my email address.
“Oh my god. Ari told me about how Lynda would call and write you. Oh god, Heather. ”
I glanced up at Amanda with a shocked look on my face. I shouldn’t be surprised though. None of us could ever hold anything back from the others.
“Fuck her, Heather. Josh loves you, and his relationship with her was years ago. Trust me. The love you share with Josh is strong and true. He’s not going to forget that. ”
I felt tears building in my eyes. “Amanda…I’ve never given Josh a blow job…ever. ”
Amanda stepped back and covered her ears. “Oh. My. God! Heather…TMI! I don’t want to know if you’ve ever given Josh a blow job or not!”
Just then, Elizabeth walked in, looking between Amanda and me.
My face instantly grew hot. Fuck me. Just shoot me! Shoot me now ’cause this can’t get any worse.
“Okay…I’m going to pretend that I never heard those words come out of your mouth, Amanda,” Elizabeth said as she walked over to me. “Baby girl, Josh wants to talk to you,” she said with a smile.
My heart started pounding. “Me? He wants to talk to me? But he doesn’t even know who I am,” I said, confused.
She laughed and pulled me in for a hug. “Oh, it was the most romantic thing ever, Heather. He knows. ”
I leaned away from her. “He remembers me?”
Her smile faded some before it returned. “Well, no…but he knows that y’all are more than friends. ”
“Oh no. Did you tell him that, Elizabeth?” I asked, thinking back to what Victoria had said about forcing him to remember.
“No, not really. He asked Greg and me about you. He said when he saw you, his heart dropped to his stomach, and he has never felt like that before. He also mentioned that the whole time the doctor was talking, he just kept wondering who you were!” Elizabeth clapped her hands and then grabbed Amanda in for a group hug.
Amanda started laughing as she and Elizabeth began jumping up and down like little kids.
“See! A love like y’all’s can never be forgotten,” Amanda said with excitement.

My dad had left to grab some lunch for him and the girls while Mom went to look for Heather and her friend.
