Small town drama ruined a decent job

TLDR: the assistant manager at my job has hated me since high school and threatened me so I quit
I worked at this truck stop every single time I’ve moved home, put years of my life into this store, I loved it bc I loved my boss and my coworkers, I put 4 out of 6 summers since graduation there.
I put in over time and maximum effort cuz I enjoyed it and I liked the people, it was nice being able to make peoples day who were traveling and cheer them up, and more than once help families who broke down or got locked out. I know it sounds odd but it was kinda fulfilling
My boss quit last year and things never recovered
Little back ground on me I’m a 24 year old F and I come and go a lot. I’ve got a place to stay and what I thought was a good job to come back to, so I’ve been spending much of my 20’s going with the flow. I’ve lived in 4 states since graduation.
Every manager since my old boss has been terrible. I know we are anti work but I really did love her. We still get lunch some times
When I came back from Another state recently, I knew I wanted a different full time job. So I did something else full timewise but worked there 3 days a week still. I switched to the caribou department, thinking it would be better. It wasn’t.
The drama was none stop. Surprisingly, never with the high school girls who were a majority of their crew
It was always shit with the assistant manager of caribou who has had beef with me since high school
Long story short, she told my friends fiancé she was gonna punch me bc I was being two faced
I was being a little two faced, but everyone is. She and I were not friends. I was polite to her at work. But when she was rude, I complained about it.
Anyway, I quit. I ALWAYS work here when I’m back in town. I’m gonna miss the coworkers I’ve known for 6 years. But it’s just not worth it if my assistant manager is threatening me
I’ve never once dealt with anything like this.
I don’t really get into verbal fights and I’ve only been physical with men who assault me at bars. I can’t believe a supposed assistant manager made a threat like that. I’m just in disbelief. I know I probably sound niave and I probably am over reacting.
I can’t report it bc the friebds boyfriend doesn’t want to get involved, as the assistant manager is dating his brother. Out of respect for him I’ll keep it quiet unless she says something to me. I’m just so upset that a job I actually liked got so obliterated in 9 months.
