You find out who your friends are

This past week, I definitely learned who I can trust and who I can't.

I was having a bad day and Parker's internet wasn't working. All he was able to do was send me a quick message saying he was going to bed. Yes, he could have elaborated a bit on the internet situation but that doesn't really matter. I, of course, was upset that he got off before I could tell him why I was upset that day. I turned to my former friend, Josh, to get some comfort and get everything off my chest. I've known Josh since my freshman year of college and we've always gotten along great. He kept telling me not to worry and that I would hear from him the next day. I calmed down and everything was great.

In the middle of the night I wake up to my phone letting me know I had gotten an email. It was from Parker so I decided to read it right then. Turns out Josh went behind my back and had given Parker this whole long list of ways to treat me better. I never said anything about Parker treating me badly but apparently that's how he took it, or so I thought. Parker was very upset about getting unneeded advice from someone he didn't even know and he asked me to tell Josh that he was acting out of line. When I got up the next morning, I told Josh exactly that and at that point he said our friendship was over (but in more words and not so nicely). I, like any girl, went running to my boyfriend and sent him an email saying I didn't know what was going on, I hadn't done anything wrong, and had no idea why he would just end our friendship like that. Parker, the ever protective boyfriend who doesn't want me to be upset, sent a message back to Josh. This is where I wish Parker would have just left everything alone and not sent a message. Turns out to Josh, I was the one that got away and he was purposefully sabotaging our friendship so he would never have to listen to me talk about Parker again. the two of them exchanged a few more heated messages until I finally begged them both to stop.

In the end, I think it's better that Josh and I can't be friends anymore but it still hurts to know that someone I once called one of my best friends would do something like that.
