This was supposed to be an awesome day today... Went to Olive Garden with my parents, bought the new Pokemon game that came out today, and we were going to be having steak and baked potatoes for dinner, my absolute favorite....
But oh, Sir Universe, you seem to not like it when things are going good for me lately, you love making my life just that much more challenging.
As the title states, my best friend was arrested today. We're neighbors, the two of us, grew up together as little kids and we still go to school together. He's the closest thing to an older brother I have.
But let me paint a little picture of his home life;
*Father is gone almost all of the time; when said father is gone, all hell breaks loose.
*Mother is a VERY (psychotic) religious type who shoved her beliefs down his throat from birth.
*There is constant fighting between the couple, their marriage isn't doing all that well.
*Not to mention my friend (probably because of his mother) is Athiest. His mother says, "the Devil has possessed him and he needs the cleansing of Jesus or he'll end up in the fires of Hell" (Actual quote). It doesn't end there, she has a history with verbal abuse. Enough to where he's called me down via text so his mom will leave him alone for a little bit. Although usually she just keeps berating him right in front of me. (Thank god she doesn't know I'm agnostic...)
On top of all that, he's dating a girl who his mother HATES. Even better, the girlfriend's mother hates her and threatened to call police and CPS on her.
Yeah... Very nice, huh?
Well, as I was playing my new game, waiting for dinner to finish, another neighbor, D, we'll call him, comes to the door telling us about the squad cars in front my friend's home.
After about 45 minutes of waiting and watching, and having no idea what was going on, I see my friend, in handcuffs, being shoved into a police car with his family watching.
I still don't know what caused it, why this happened, but it feels like a punch to the gut. He'll be 18 on the 30th, so whatever the hell happened he'll be charged as an adult.
I just wish I could talk to him about what's going on. I know he can have a bit of a temper. His mom won't tell me anything, and I still have zero idea what's going on. It's only 7:40 and I feel exhausted... Prayers, good words, anything right now...
