A friend I’ve known for a long time isn’t speaking to me because of something one of my newer friends did to her. I didn’t see it happen. I don’t even know for sure that it happened the way she says it did. I’ve caught her lying and believing other people’s bullshit before. Her ex, who is also my friend didn’t help. He just encouraged it so he could get back with her. He got a fuck out of it, though. I have no time for these games. I want to talk to her and hang out they way we used to, but I’m not going to coddle her. I’m not a chick. I don’t hug people and cry. I offer solutions. When I asked if she wanted me to call the police, and she said no, well, I took that as a sign that she really didn’t know what happened. Still do. Call me when you grow up.
