I feel that I need to share this with someone as I actually find it quite hilarious and utterly stupid.
My sister and her “best friend” haven’t spoken for six months. Her BF started dating a guy that no one liked. I myself have known BF for years. She was a kind, quiet and very intelligent girl. Her boyfriend was the exact opposite of her in every way, and he turned BF into a foul mouthed dropout. She became a social outcast because her group of friends would flat refuse to invite her anywhere because they didn’t want to risk him showing up with her.
My sister stuck by BF, as they had known each other too long to let a boy come between them, but for months on end, she was plagued with endless tearful phonecalls from BF, saying that she had just been in a fight with her boyfriend and needed company. My sister always went. That came to a stop one night when she called my parents house at midnight, crying and saying that they had broken up and she was going to kill herself. My dad and my sister frantically searched the town looking for her in the middle of the night and eventually found her...at her boyfriends house. She laughed in my sisters face and said “Oh, we’re OK now, how silly of you to be wandering around like that!” and closed the door.
My sister ended the friendship at that point and even went as far as getting a new phone number just so she couldn’t contact her again.
Six months later and they still haven’t spoken. She’s had a few updates from mutual friends who informed her that BF has dropped out of college as she “can’t commit to studies and a relationship at the same time”. Why her parents haven’t stepped in I have no idea. My sister is having a great time and recently attended a concert with a group of friends.
Our house phone rings. It’s BF.
BF: I was just wondering how you were doing. We haven’t spoken in a while.
S: *bemused* I’m fine thanks. How are you?
BF: Great. Me and my boyfriend are going on holiday in a few weeks. Our first time away together. I can’t wait.
S: That’s great.
BF: Yeah, but listen. We kind of blew our budget on the flights and hotel and we have no spending money. I was wondering, would you be able to donate some spending money to us?
S: WHAT?!?
BF: I know you can afford it. I saw the photographs of you at that concert.
S: *stuttering* Oh my God.
BF: So can you?
My sister hung up. After telling myself and my parents what she said, my mother tried calling her back to give her a piece of her mind. She never answered.
