Lost:
Jeff, Kyle, Lisa, and Wendy are the four people that I have always gone to the bar with for the last 2 years. Every Saturday all of us would get together and get all drunk and messy and drive to the bar. (ever since my DWI Wendy has been the designated driver) Jeff and Lisa are dating. Kyle and Wendy are dating. You can see where that puts me... on the outside. It never has been a problem. I am telling you... we've done this for 2 years. Jeff and I have been going to the bar for at least 4 years. Things began to change.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed it. I took the hit for driving everyone home when I got my DWI. I went to jail. I had to pay for a lawyer. I had to pay court fines, impound fines, etc. I never asked them for a penny. I did borrow 100 bucks from Wendy. Only because I was broke and I knew that she had loaned Lisa and Jeff literally thousands of dollars. This is a weird story because I haven't been writing about it... It's very complex. Wendy is generous with her money. She took out a loan for over $25,000 to pay off her credit cards and such. She had probably 10 grand left and started handing out money to Lisa, Klye, and Jeff like they had just hit the lotto. I never asked for a penny. When Wendy went and bought them all lunch I paid for my own. At one point Wendy had bought Lisa 24 pairs of shoes and sandles. It was crazy. Wendy even started paying for Jeff and Lisa's groceries and rent. Anyway, let me shorten this up. I could go on and on about how careless Wendy is with her money, but I won't. So anyway... I borrowed 100 bucks from her. The day my court was over and it was way less money than I thought it would be, I called Wendy and told her I had 40.00 of her money. She said thanks, and came to get it. When she came over, I told her I needed to look at my finances to see if I could possibly pay her the rest tomorrow. She said, "Don't worry about it. You can pay me 20 bucks out of your next pay check. Well, she ended up calling me that same night and saying, "I am going to need the rest of that money tomorrow." So I was shocked and said... "Um... ok... I'll see what I can do."
She showed up at my work the next day with her hand out. So I gave it to her. I was shocked and dispointed. I know it shouldn't make a difference, but the thousands of dollars she gave Jeff, Lisa, and Kyle still hasn't been paid. End of story. Nest Story:
I knew things were getting strange between us when a couple of weeks ago they all acted like I was a moocher. I usually just drank their alcohol when they invited me over because they never said anything about it. I had ALWAYS brought my own until my DWI and had to shell out 2000.00 in two months. I figured they'd understand. I was wrong. A couple of weeks ago, when I came over they HID THE ALCOHOL. Instead of saying, "you know Shannon, you need to start bringing your own alcohol," they hid it and acted all secretive. So I just went home that night and let them do their own thing. The next weekend was my bday so they called me asking if I was going out. (thats another thing. they always call me to see if I am going.. I never call them to make sure they want me to go with them... I am a bit self concious that way) I told them I wanted to since it was my bday. They bitched because they didn't have any alcohol. So I said, "even though it's my bday, I'll buy alcohol for everyone." So I did... and bought the chaser. Everyone was happy and we had a good time. No one bitched about anything. Then this weekend they did something I can't ever forget or forgive them for. They called me and asked if I was going to the bar. I said I might. They asked if I had any of the alcohol left that I had bought last weekend. I said yes. They asked if I would bring it. I said sure. Later that night Kyle calls me and says, "Hey.. I am on my way to your house to pick up the alcohol." He said PICK UP THE ALCOHOL) Nowhere did he say anything about picking me up. So I said... "Ummm... ok." And he's says, "What?!" So I said, "I was going to bring it when I came over." and he says, "Oh.. you are coming tonight? I didn't think you were." So I just said, "Fine... come get it." He did and never said one word to me... just picked it up... and walked out of my apartment. Then at nine I called Jeff and he wouldn't answer his phone. So I left a message saying, "That's cold." And hung up. End of story. I am so hurt. I don't understand what I did wrong. I don't know why they are so mad at me. However, if that's how they want to be, I guess I can't change that. I have other friends. I don't need them. It just sucks. Jeff and I have been friends for at least 5 years... and now it's over.
Our friendship is lost.
