I 22/female needed a roommate and asked around my job as there were many girls of different ages ranging from high school to college and a few stray Mom aged women as well. One of the girls, Rocky 25/female, mentioned she was looking to move out of her parents house and into an apartment or house. Shortly after we started looking for a place and found a cute 2 bed 2 bath that we agreed on. We lived together and became best friends for a year then decided to renew our lease for another year since the first was so great. I took her to my family events even though they lived quite a ways away and since her family lived right down the road we would visit hers more often for dinner and other get togethers.
I have a younger sister, 15/f and Rocky has a younger sister 16/f Rona. When my sister would come stay with me she would invite her sister over to come hangout and we’d all hangout as a group as well. After a couple months into our 2nd year of the lease Rona started getting in trouble with school and outside of school too, getting into fights, and hanging around the wrong crowd with street pharmacist and wanna be street racers. Her older brother Clark m/18 or 19 got into the wrong crowd scene first and eventually moved out of his parents house to live in a communal home with his friends. Their house was a 3 bedroom so Rona was able to have her own room finally instead of having to share. Once Clark moved back in to his parents home again promising to do better, Rona started hanging out at our house more and I noticed she was bringing more and more clothing and leaving it. Totally a teenage girl thing to do so that’s why I didn’t notice until I was in Rocky’s room using a perfume we split the cost on when I seen she had a new dresser. The dresser was full of Rona’s clothes. Rocky later explained to me that Rona was going to be staying with us for a short amount of time. No problem. She bought a futon and that’s where she slept in the living room. She later moved the futon into Rocky’s bedroom so they were sharing it.
Rona got kicked out of high school for violence related reasons, girls fighting and I didn’t really think much of it. I later found out she had serious charges against her. I got let go from my job that I shared with Rocky and started working different hours with a different new job I got. Rona started working at the old job so because she did not have a car, her and Rocky could carpool like we once did. Weeks go by and something changed in my once best friend Rocky. I started seeing my now boyfriend, and she was very weird towards him and wouldn’t talk to him just went straight to her room. We were long distance so introducing them was something I was looking super forward to.
Rona ended up moving in against my wishes and I brought it up a couple times to Rocky that she should hold her weight around the house possibly by cleaning or paying a portion of the utilities or rent, this was instantly shut down and was turned on me painting me to be the bad guy and a horrible friend because she was quote “trying to help her mother”. I let it go and let the trash and dishes that weren’t mine pile up. I hear Rocky telling Rona that she needs to do her online schooling before she goes out with her street racing friends, later I found out that she gets kicked out of online school for not doing her school work. Rocky wanted to help her mom by taking Rona in but wouldn’t take over mom responsibilities.
one day I come home from work around 4:30pm and I find Rona and her boyfriend m/20? Walt laying on the couch super close cuddling and making out, they didn’t seem to care that I was there either. I went into the kitchen which was unfortunately for me, connected to the living room to try to eat dinner and head straight into my room to mind my own business. I feel a little out of place in my own home and bring this up to Rocky but she doesn’t seem to mind or care. Then she lets me know that when the lease is up she wants Rona to move in and offered letting me stay if I could find another roommate, or I could move out and give Rona my room and find my own place. When I questioned finding a 3 bedroom she said her mom would rather her not live with adults since she was 16 at the time. This baffled me due to the circumstances of her living there for months prior at no problem but at the time we were on good terms so I agreed to move out. We get passed it and one night I come home to Rona and Walt both in the living room again while Rocky was at work, Rona had gotten fired so she had much more free time to spend not doing high school work since she flunked out, but to spend with Walt her too-old for her boyfriend (where are his parents?) alone in this apartment. Rona jumped off the couch when I arrived and ran to meet me in the doorway and told me that Rocky knows Walt was here and Rocky said it was okay. I replied okay no problem (im not a cop) and I told her I was leaving to visit my boyfriend and that I’d be back after the weekend. When I got back on Monday I went to get an energy drink out of the fridge before work I realized my adult drinks were missing. I texted both Rona and Rocky separately asking where they went and Rona replied first saying they’ve been in the fridge for so long she didn’t know who they belonged to and Walt drank them. Rocky then texted back and said she doesn’t know anyone who drinks beer. I couldn’t tell if she meant it with attitude but I told her that her sister had taken them. She stood up for her sister telling me not to accuse her and that she’d never take anything without asking first and would never drink beer. I told her that Walt was the one to drink them and she insisted that Rona told her I gave her permission before I left. I said Rona is lying and I have proof because she had just texted me that she didn’t know whose they were. Then she sent a longer text saying she asked her sister when she saw them on the table that weekend after work if she asked me permission and they both replied yes. So I caught her in a lie. I then pointed out her inconsistency in her story and realized there’s no use in fighting but I didn’t feel comfortable with teens drinking unsupervised in our apartment especially since I bought the alcohol under the assumption I would be drinking them and I’m of age.
I can’t stop but wonder if Walt’s parents thought he was visiting Rona at her parents house where there would be some level of assumed supervision because why would a 16 year old girl be living in an apartment/left alone no school or job?
Fast forward things were tense and I asked how we could fix our relationship and she said there was no repairing it, am I in the wrong?
Edit: Rona is now pregnant
