The Coalition of Sierra J. Rubenstein

AWW I: Mickie's Party

    September is another month with a revelation in our relationship. We never had any real fights since the pregnancy. I thought we fixed any issues residing before since everything was going smoothly. We went back to our old routines of all day cuddling, date night Friday's, and couples workout sessions. Maybe I was fooled to believe there was no conflict with us. Sierra and I each have a relative with a birthday in September: Mickie's on the 10th and my brother's on the 11th. Surprisingly, they have not conflicted on celebrating their birthdays. In 2015, Mickie decided to have her party on the 12th. The problem with the date was that I was going to Doswell, Virginia for Kings Dominion. I could not take Sierra on this trip because my mom allowed my brother to invite one of his friends. How we got tickets was from a company that my aunt use to work at before passing. My mom still had connections to get a modest price on private dates. They sell Hershey Park tickets early in the year and Kings Dominion tickets late in the year. I explained to Sierra that my mom was alternating who gets to decide on the fourth ticket. I gave her the fourth to Hershey so my brother got this one unless he could not find anyone. I told her if she got the money for her own ticket and brought it to my mom in time, she could come with. Sierra did not have the money for one at the time, but she wanted to go to her niece's party. Sierra was told that Angie bought a lot of alcohol for Mickie's sweet sixteen. I was fine with Sierra going to her family party while I was out of state, until I found out who was coming. Yes, it was Danny...Mickie invited Sierra's ex to her party.
    I had a hard time trusting Sierra and Danny to be left together and heavily drank. I never said anything before, but one of my biggest issues with Sierra was her obsession over her ex. I can put down exactly some of the stuff she said on the matter, but she was leading him on. Then, in some way, would break his heart again. Sierra enjoyed making Danny suffer. I was there watching her send these messages. I talked to her many times on how upset this was making me feel. Her second favorite phase was her common answer, "I just can't let go". The problem did not stop until a little later in our second year. This is why she would hid and keep her phone away from me. She never wanted me to see anything in her phone, but she always gave me a temper tantrum when I would conceal my phone. Sierra fought with me that her personal business was not for me to know, but I have to be willing to be open with everything. That ideology of hers changed over two days when I made it clear how horrible her statements were. But she saw it as belittling her intelligence. Continuing on, I was not comfortable about Danny being at the party. I talked to her about how I feel about it. It is not like I could ban her from going, but I made her promise me that she would stay away from Danny and call me if she was getting in some trouble with him. I never heard a single thing that night. She told me I missed a fun party and everyone was very drunk. Of course one of my second question was to ask if Danny pulled some sort of stunt. Sierra told me that she could not find him, he was always in another room away from her, and he left early. The two most sober of the under-aged drinkers told me a different story.
    The weekend after, Sierra was making many inside jokes with Mickie and Danny. I did not understand them, but Sierra explained it as their drunk Hynix of the party. Sierra walked to the bathroom as Danny went to bowl. I asked Mickie if anything happened at the party, which she would tell me that Sierra and Danny were together the whole party. She explained that they were not making out and such, but very friendly with one another. The last thing Mickie told me was Sierra and Danny leaving together. Now I had a difficult time believing what Mickie was telling me versus what Sierra told me. She was one of the people trying to break up Sierra and I. Mickie has had some sort of crush on me since last December when I gave her a personal gift for Christmas. I did give everyone on our team personal gifts with a special roll of duct tape, but I was being nice. Sierra planted the idea that Mickie was trying to steal me from Sierra as part of this rivalry that dated back to when they were cheerleaders dating other girls. It was an instance of one's words versus the other one. I had no solid evidence to support Mickie, so I blew it off. Now with my conversations with Danny in present 2018, I have his side of things. He told me they were friendly with each other and that he invited Sierra back to his place since his parents were out for the night. Mickie originally tried to tag along with Danny until she found out he invited Sierra to go home with him. Mickie bailed for the night and the two left. Danny said his only intention to take her with him was so they could hangout, catch up, and watch some movies. I still do not believe that was the intention. Danny jumped on the idea as Sierra was finally being nice to him and not a raging bitch. Danny side nothing happened, because his parents called about something they were upset with. His parents found out Sierra was over and scalded him. They demanded she go home. Sierra was upset by this and called her sister Angie to come pick her up. Sierra told Angie and her parents that Danny took advantage of her and started to beat her. For what I know, everyone she told bought it. I have no idea how her family believed her without any bruises. What she had were a few hickies from me. So unless Danny has tiny hands, then he did not do it. Interesting enough, she never told me that. She did bring it up in our second year together, but I will wait to discuss it because Sierra brought about it differently.
