My best friend pulled a crazy stunt at comic con and it might be my last straw with her.
Hello everyone, today I (15f) went to a comic con with my two best friends: Hailey (16f) and Valentina (16f) along with Haileys dad and little brother.
This had been a planned event that we all have been talking about for at least two months. There was however one issue wth going at first, because my mom is quite overprotective and wasn't able to drive me to the con which was an hour and 15 minutes away from where we live I had to find another option of transport to get there. The only problem being that my mom didn't want me taking public transport, so I instead opted for asking Hailey if i could ride with her since her dad was driving there anyways.
At first Hailey said no to this because she gets quite tired and groggy after these conventions and she didn't want to bother me with that. I assured her this was fine and about a week ago we came to the agreement that I would indeed ride with them. Here's where the problem named Valentina comes in.
Ever since the planning started she has told us she would be taking the bus/train to get to the convention, not once did she ask about anything else. Now imagine this: its the morning of the convention and I just woke up early so I would still be able to celebrate mother's day in the morning and then get picked up by Hailey's dad at 9.30.
I wake up to my alarm, check my phone and see I have some text messages. And like every teenager of course the first thing I do is check them. I saw that Valentina asked ME if there was any chance she could also come along by car.
Now of course I was quite dumbfounded by this since first of all why was she asking me? I wasn't the one driving nor was it either of my parents, and also why was she asking this late (she asked the question at 8.33, less then an hour before my supposed pick up time).
To which I replied it probably wasn't possible since she was asking quite late. Oh i forgot to mention an important detail which will be even worse for Valentina's case later. The night before comic con she texted me at 23.54 how late I would be at the convention, Hailey told me this was also the time when she texted Hailey to ask if she could ride along.
I told Valentina that I wasn't sure how late i'd be there but that I was getting picked up at 9.30. IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHEN HAILEY SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR AND TOLD ME VALENTINA WOULD ALSO BE RIDING ALONG.
Turns out this crazy bitch staked out at my house 10 miutes before Hailey would arrive so she and her dad could ask in person if she really wasn't able to ride along. And since it was in the moment Hialeys dad agreed.
Now me and Hailey had already been on rocky terms with Valentina, so this wasn't taken well. We were pissed at the audacity of this girl to pull this crap. (Some of the reasons as to why we were on the fence about Valentina were the facts that she is always on her phone during movies birthday partys and all that, she also constantly takes weird pictures of Hailey even though Hailey has frequently said she doesn't like it. She also has terrible hygiene, barely ever showers or brushes her teeth and overal just fucking smells).
Well the con passes and it was a fun time even if the transport arrangements were weird. After the con I did text Valentina telling her I felt as if i was used for a shit move because she used information I gave her to basically stake out to pull this bullshit and how I didn't appreciate how bad she was at managing her rides to places and how much she relies on me and Hailey to solve her problems.
She did not take this well and starting telling me how she knows her life is a mess and she'll fail in life and how she never ever asked us to solve her problems. I told her it sure feels that way, because every time me or Hailey confronts her about something she did she'll start rambling about how she hates herself or her life.
She responded saying that wasn't her intention and apologized, I honestly don't know what to do with this because I feel as though this is my breaking point. I've been embarassed by being her friend so often and overall just don't think this is going to work out. But on the other hand she was my only friend in my previous two years of school (Hailey is in another class).
Im posting this story because I need an outlet to write this down so I can process it better. I feel completely empty and weird about not sending funny videos to her anymore when I see them and can't seem to find any distraction. So I would heavily appriciate any advice or hear other peoples stories so I can know I'm not alone, thank you for your time reading this I hope my English was alright given it's not my native language and my autocorrect is not on English.
Thx for reading :)
