So my brother dated this girl a few years back. They were very serious. She and I became best friends. I mean, sit-up-for-hours-talking-about-anything friends, you know what i’m thinking before I say it friends, always up for a late nite taco bell run friends… I mean, I had not felt so close to another woman since high school. She really became a member of the family… she was at all the get togethers, she stayed at our house more than she did her own. Then, while he planned to propose, she cheated on him, for a long while… with his best friend…

It was world shattering for my whole family. It hurt me, for my brother and for myself. I couldn’t understand. I thought she loved him, I thought she would have been decent enough to end the relationship before moving on. It sent my brother into a long bout with depression and I haven’t had a friend since then. Since then she’s been with several different guys, engaged to 3 of them… she’s a party girl, always out getting drunk, a totally different person than the one I was best friends with.

It just goes to show, you never really know other people. And you can never really trust them.

I just decided to look at her facebook to see how she was doing, and it all ame flooding back.
