45. I Haven’t Looked Back
My ex-best friend was getting married. I was one of the bridesmaids. I was basically planning everything and trying to do everything, but she fought with me at every turn. The maid of honor would deliberately withhold information from us (the other bridesmaids and I had proof) but the bride would get mad at us. At one point, she said another bridesmaid and I were untrustworthy.
My husband paid for an expensive hotel room. I was going to pay for another one because the room didn’t have enough room for all of us. The bride flipped out that I didn’t want everyone together. I told her to look for a hotel that could comfortably suit us. She flipped out once more and told the bridesmaids and maid of honor that the bachelorette party was canceled.
I started distancing myself after it was obvious she was becoming looney tunes. She texted me about the bachelorette party and said she was going to do a one-night beach thing.
A few weeks later, my husband and I decided to surprise some friends and visit South Carolina during Memorial Day weekend. We figured it was cool because she canceled the weekend and said she was going to do a one-night beach thing. I posted how excited I was to be seeing my XBOX friends and grandmother. It didn’t go well. Suddenly, there was talk about a bachelorette party and how I was a horrible person. I wasn’t texting her every day and it was getting worse and worse.
I tagged my husband in an article that the world is supposed to end. You know, those fake news things? I didn’t see the date but apparently, it was the wedding day. The bride had her mom angrily texted me about it and I told them I was done with the high school drama. I haven’t looked back.
