Lauren was friends with my friend Brandon. I had met her a bunch of times through him, and I talked to her on AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) from time to time. Another friend of ours was Jake, and Lauren was "dating" Jake's brother. This guy, whose name I forget, was a complete DOG. He had Lauren believing she was his girlfriend, but he was banging like 3-4 other girls. Brandon, Jake and I all knew this, and Lauren was suspicious, but too 'stupid in love' to see it. This went on for months, and Lauren was a sweet quiet shy (and gorgeous) women, and I really felt bad for her and wanted to just tell her straight out about this jerk, but that would have compromised my friendship with Brandon and Jake. so I watched as she would get upset and cry thinking hes cheating, and he denies it, and Brandon and Jake don't say anything.
Eventually I started feeling stress about it, I kept thinking how ungrateful this piece of shit is, he has the beautiful girl who cares about him, and he could care less. Meanwhile I have this huge hole inside me, wishing I had someone like that who cared about me, it caused me a lot of stress. One day on AIM she tells me she hasn't been able to stop crying for days, and that she wished she knew for sure if he was doing something so she could leave him. I couldn't take it anymore, and I decided to tell her everything I knew. I said "Yes, hes cheating" and I gave her times and dates and details to prove it, she already had suspicions of certain dates, so I knew it would convince her. Within 10 minutes of me telling her, and with the AIM conversation window still open on my computer screen, I get a phone call from Brandon..."Yo, Did you tell Lauren that DOG cheated on her?!?". My heart sank, here I am trying to help this girl get away from an asshole that is causing her a ton of pain, and she goes and attempts to ruin one of the few friendships I have. Luckily I was smart and denied it, and I quickly saved the AIM conversation before closing the window. I told Brandon "No, i was just talking to her on AIM and she told me that she found proof, but I still told her i didn't know anything". After getting off the phone, I opened the AIM conversation in HTML, and edited it to fit my story. I then printed it up and gave it to Brandon and DOG to "Prove" I didn't tell her. I'm not really sure what happened after that, I stopped talking to Lauren, Jake and Brandon moved on with their lives and I was left damaged once again by some selfish women...and yes I get it, she was hurting and not really evil, just selfish at my expense...
