Chapter 18: Take That, Rufus!

“Oh, so you fell in love with a has-been, is that why you broke up with me?” he released angrily.

I could see the fire in Damon's eyes. I pushed forward and put myself between him and Eli.

“That’s not the case,” I informed, getting in his face. “While we’re at it, though, who’s Alicia? Who is she, huh?”

“W-w-w-what are you talking a-about?” he stammered defensively. The color left from his peachy face.

“Alicia, who is she?! ” I pressed harder.

“I-I-I have, I mean, what?” he stuttered, revealing his guilt. Silently, I waited for him to explain. He stared back at me, my hazel eyes probably crimson red from anger.

“H-how d-d-do you know about that?” he asked in disbelief.

My eyes bore into Eli’s forehead like they were infrared lasers. It didn’t matter how I knew. All that mattered was that I caught him red handed.
