The Truth About My Ex-Best Friend...
"First off,I am not sure why I am even bothering to write a blog,my blog is very very unpopular*glares*....Possibly I'm just giving a vain attempt to finally get you people who are friends and family to read and care about my thoughts???Or maybe I just want a way to be able to write about what's going on as a way to get things off my chest.(I'll explain what I mean by this in a later blog entry)"
I guess I'll now explain this Now one of my friends was worried by what I meant by this,and if it came off as serious,trust me,its notXD. So is this had anyone worried(which I hope not:P) don't be.My blog is just unpopular here so I meant that as kinda a funny(well,not really funny I guess) but a cool way to try to increase my blog popularity.I was just trying to sound cool and witty I love all my friends and family and I know you all care about me^^ But I do have somewhat of a problem I guess.You see,I had this best friend name Ryan.(I know,I hate saying it too ) Anyways,as annoying as he was at times,he was my friend.But now I guess I'll explain why I'm using past tense terms.As some people(some of my friends,both on and offline) may already know(or just figured out from this post:P) we are no longer friends.Basically what happened is this. Ryan and I were just talking on the phone like friends do,and then all of a sudden,he said,"Could You Hold On a Minute?".I never thought anything of it,for this is very common when talking to anyone on the phone.But this was the start of something that would become very horrible and dark.His mom had called him to the kitchen cause she wanted to talk to him.When he got back,he seemed kinda in shock.So I asked,'Well,what's wrong?" And he said what it was:his mom just said tha she had been going out with this guy for almost two years now,and behind his back!He said she said(not meant to be a pun of the Ashley Tisdale songXD) that she just now told him that,and that this guy will probably become his step-dad.Both him and I were in total shock,for not only may he be getting a new step-dad,but he mom had not told him!Now if it would have been just a little while not to tell him,you know,that'd be understandable.But almost two years of not telling him!?And then that kinda brought up major stress,for him anyways.(I was stressed for him too,being his friend at the time.)I mean,now on top of conflicting emotions over his mother's long kept secret,and now he may have a new dad when he had never met the guy before?(FYI,They are still engaged and getting married this September,which you may already know,is the month my birthday is in)His mom wasn't even decent enough to get his permission or see how he would do with Ryan.Now Ryan,even before this nonsense,had a very crazy and stressful home.I've always been very lucky and blessed with my life,I never have any problems at home or school,and I have tons of loving family and friends.And for those of you reading this,I just wanted to let you know that.:) But back to Ryan.His mom just owned,(I'll be blunt:/) "a trashy AND sucky restaurant" as said by many of our town memebers.It served very greasy food,and it was their family business,so Ryan is to own it once he turns 16.Ryan always looked forward to it,cause he wanted to turn it into a cool and fun pizza place(or teenage hangout really,for he wanted his friends and people from our school to eat there.)That sounded like a good idea,or at least better the the trashy and greasy,"Mary's Beef and Buns."(the sign of the restuarant shows a woman bending over and a fat cow smiling at it )He even said that if we(all of his friends) ever needed a job we could be a waiter or waitress there.Now I guess I'll explain the rest of his family. His grandfather was a computer expert and even used to help with computers and software at NASA.(supposedly)His grandfather was very "stern".He restricted Ryan tons,and that may be why Ryan was so "grrrrrrrrrrrr!" at times.Plus not only that,either his grandfather was watching tv,online(which he never let Ryan on btw) or nagging at Ryan.Now not only does(or did I should say) live with his mom and granfather,but his grandmother.Sadly she was going senile(she couldn't help it) so that caused a lot of problems.What may have been ever worse is not only was the grandmother going senile and living with that family,but she was aware that she was. His father was probably the only good member of his family,but his parents are divorced and his dad lives in Oklahoma. But now I'll go back to how our friendship died.After that particular talk on the phone,a few days later he got to "meet" him.Basically all that happened was he came by,introduced himself,and his mom and him went on their date.Ryan at first just said he was nice and cool guy,and worked for the city.I said I was happy for him,and I hope things work out.But,they didn't.Ryan started getting really annoying,hateful and rude to me.I'd try to tell him something,he'd ignore me and talk about something else.He'd play loud music or something or even scream over the phone to hurt my ears.If I tried to tell him about something or play him a song,he'd insult stuff.And it kept getting worse even phone conversation.(this started last summer:P) He kept it up and kept getting worse and worse.... Eventually my 8th grade school year started,which was already my very worst year of school ever for me,even without him.*Note*I did eventually managed to find out,that his new soon-to-be-step-father wasn't as great as he led on.(as you could already guess)His father was,down to a T,a "Hillbilly".Now I know that normally "Hillbillys" are very funny things,usually on movies or maybe a book or something.But this one wasn't in the least.He was very cheap(so cheap they now live in a trailer),had hardly any education,had no teeth,was in bad shape and was,above all ,ABUSIVE.In fact,how we found this out was one of my female friends went to visit Ryan and see his new family.She did it for she wanted to see how his father was,for he wouldn't talk about him after that and would always say he is so great,yet acted horrible.My poor friend shouldn't have gone and done that.I would've stopped her had I known,but I found out the day after.When he saw her,he slapped her and said "You look like a slut" and he also said he could tell she was "such a fucking whore".I luckily have never met him,but he sounds horrible.* Now back to the school year.Ryan made the school-year horrible for me and all my friends.In fact he was so horrible I had to start giving out his phone number to my friends so people could use it to call his parents if anything happened.(which sadly turned out to be a failure,for his parents would never do anything)But since I did that,he got so mad he tried to fight me,but luckily I was able to go on to my next class before he could.(that time)What was even more annoying and horrible is one minute he would be so horrible and the next he would go ahead pretending to be our "best friends".... Sadly one time,near the end of the year, he got in the lunchline the same time as we did.He was so angry that we were ignoring him(for our safety) that he started attacking me and even bit my arm!!I kept telling him to stop it,which he didn't.I didn't risk fighting back for our school is very strict on fighting(usually even if you just try to defend or stop someone from attacking you you get ISS,or In-School-Suspension.)Ms.Boatright,this (dare I say this),useless lunch superviser came up and only asked for our names.We both told her,and she started walking away to go inform someone.Now at that point I was almost in tears.I try very hard to be a great student at school,and I've never had dentention or anything bad at school.I just think it makes things easier that way...I just knew I would be expelled.(which,thankfully,I didn't)And not only that,it hurt me that my very first friend and my old best friend (with whom I met in pre-school )hated me,no longer cared about me,and had attacked me.I was at loss with everything at that moment.Then,one of the school consolers,Tooky Roberts(funny name I know) came up and immediately tried to stop it.She was able too,but then before I could tell her what he did(my friends tried to as well) he apologized(ONLY to her) and said we were "just playing around".She didn't quite buy it seemed,but she left regardless. After that Ryan didn't talk or anything for the rest of the school year.And was STILL sitting at our lunch table.We ignored him,for that was almost always the best way for him to be alone with no problems and for us.We were like that for the rest of the school year.After that incident,everyone at school knew how messed up Ryan had become.Now,I'm not by any means popular at school,but even other people,including ones who didn't like me whatsoever, completely felt sorry for us,and tried to protect us.Ryan acould not stand it that people felt sorry for us,and cared for us,so he kept making up things about us to try to stop this,which didn't work.The good news was that everyone took up for me,even the "jocks" and "skateboarders" esp.My feeling therefore had become very mixed,I was very protected by tons of people,yet I was still hurt and heartbroken that I had lost a friend.And someone who was going thou such a hard time himself.I always like to try to help my friends whenever I can,esp. if they are in trouble.It just made what was already(as said before) a horrible school year in sooo many ways even more worse.Now,esp you must be like,"God,didn't the teachers do anything?"Honestly they did nothing.He managed to keep it so well-hidden,and is very close with lots of teachers.I didn't even bother getting teachers into this,for they would have no power over him.(and the teachers always say to us,solve the problem youself)Plus he knows where i live,and I was afraid if I stopped his "power" at school,he may try even worse things outside of school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now basically everything is actually going good,for school is over and I haven't heard anything of him all summer.I've been having tons of fun,and everything else.The only thing I ask of any of you who read this is that you please help me with one thing.Some of my friends have been giving me mixed adviced.Some say that you know,I don't deserve a friend like that.Others says since this is such a hard time for him,to be nice and remain his friend,if it doesn't work,then stop being friends....so which one do you think I should do?
