Story Of My Life

Friend Drama

So I have this friend, let's call her Bailey. Well I have known Bailey for most of my life. I've known her since 1st grade and we've been friends ever since. We hang out all the time. And over these last few years guys have been becoming a more, I don't know what you want to call it, role? in our lives. Not so much mine as hers, but I guess it's there a little bit.

I also have these close family friends, a guy and a girl who are brother and sister. Let's call him Jake and her Aubrey. (Jake is 2 years older than me and Aubrey is 1 year younger than me)
I have been close with Jake and Aubrey for about 3/4 years now.

Along with Jake, Aubrey, and Bailey, I have another really close friend who we can call Marie. I have known her since 2nd grade and it's me, Bailey and Marie ever since.

Well, since I'm close with all of these people I thought "Hey, why not let them all meet eachother so we can all e friends". Well had I known what was going to happen I don't think I would have ever had them meet. Well, maybe. I don't know.
Anyway, almost instantly Jake started liking my friend Marie, at this point Marie didn't like him back.
We all hung out at parties and get-togethers and we were all chill with eachother. Things were cool for like a year and half maybe.
So Jake really like Marie but didn't think she liked him back (now, one year later, Marie liked him back but Jake didn't know) he thought he'd try and move on. So he started talking to my boy-crazy friend Bailey. (Now let me tell you when I say that she's boy crazy, I mean she's like really boy-crazy.)
So they started talking and they decided to go one ONE date. I don't know if they were ever officially boyfriend girlfriend, but they were "together" for like a week maybe 2 at the most.
In that span they went on ONE date. ONE. That was all because she felt uncomfortable or whatever so SHE broke it off. I put that in all caps because that will be important later.

This happened in the beginning of May.

A few months later Jake found out that Marie liked him back and eventually they started dating. Officially dating, not the two week shit that happened earlier in the year.
So when they decided to tell us, Bailey got mad that Marie would go out with the guy Bailey was with. Which is completely stupid because BAILEY broke it off with JAKE! Not the other way around. Had it been the other way around things would have been different. But they didn't, she was the one to end things, so she shouldn't be upset about anything.

Anyways, now its six months later and Bailey and Marie don't talk anymore. Bailey and Jake certainly don't talk anymore either.

And what really sucks is that I can't hang out with my two best friends at the same time because of boy drama that shouldn't have existed. If Bailey wanted to be with Jake, why would she freaking "break up" with him?

On top of all this Bailey gets upset whenever I talk about either of them, like sorry but just because you don't like them doesn't mean I can't.

So you know me trying to get my friends to try and be friends again, this past halloween Bailey and I were hanging out and went to a few houses on my street and nearby streets. Well, Marie lives pretty close by and she came by my street with Jake. I thought hey, why not try and get all of us to hang out again like we used to. So I had Bailey and I join them for maybe 30 minutes tops. We went to a few houses and got some candy. Nothing major, just walking around. Jake, Marie and I were talking and constantly trying to get Bailey to join in on the conversation. But no, she'd rather text her mom or whoever complaining about what we're doing. (Sidenote: she doesn't even like talking to her mum, she's constantly complaining about everything her mum says or does)

Later that night, Bailey was sleepingover, I asked Bailey if she was okay with what happened and she didn't really say anything, then she said she was tired and went to bed.
The next day at school she told my friend, Ella, that last night sucked and she wished she never went or something like that.

Like, okay, if that made you so uncomfortable why didn't you just freaking tell me. I wouldn't have made you "suffer" if it was that bad. ( Which it wasn't- we were trying to include her but she didn't say anything to anyone)

Dear Bailey, you need to get your fucking shit together.

Really fucking soon.

Okay?
Okay.

I'll being keeping you all up to date with my good friend Bailey and our "lovely adventures through life" and also with other things that are going on in my life.

xoxo
