Recently, I was conversing with a friend of mine. She had been committing self-harm, and I had been trying to talk her out of it. Eventually, she realised what she was doing wasn't the way to go about things (not a serious case, this was simply a teenage drama, so it was quite easy to push her through).
I get the bus home, I'm feeling good, I go up into my room and started vibing to some Gorillaz, then I get a text.
"I hate you"
"What?"
"It just sunk in"
"Still confused"
"You're hideous Matthew"
"I mean, yeah, but can you tell me what's up?"
"Stop!"
"Did your boyfriend (yes, she had a "boyfriend", as much as you can have one at my age, pathetic really) show you a picture of me killing a puppy or something? I can assure you, I only eat the ones from the butchers"
"SHUT UP!"
So I did just that, i shut up.
As you can probably tell, I was pretty weirded out, she'd seemed fine no more than 5 minutes ago... What had got her panties in a twist. Low and behold, no less than 30 seconds after putting my phone down, I get a call.
I hear a gruff, male voice on the other side of the phone.
"Hello,is this Matthew Barbara? (yes, he said barbara)"
"No, it's his cousin Steve"
He paused for a bit, ok, so he wasn't that much of a worry intelectually.
"Don't play your games with me kid. I know what's going on."
"Sorry sir, but I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I know what you've been doing, kid. You've been head****ing my daughter!"
"Uh. sir-"
"STOP HEAD****ING MY DAUGHTER!"
I heard crying in the background.
"Have a good day you manipulative little freak!"
It's now been a week, and I haven't seen this friend anywhere, they don't answer their phone, every contact I had with her has been blocked. And now I'm kind of like.
Whoops
