This is a really long story so, bare with me... Adrian and I met almost a year ago through this girl, Cat, that I used to work with... Cat was interested in Adrian but he wasnt interested in her... She eventually noticed that he was paying more attention to me than to her and she got mad... So, she told me that they were hooking up in order to keep me from getting too close to him... At the time, I wasnt interested in him like that and when he kissed me I told him that I didnt think it should happen again because of his relationship with Cat... Long story short I found out that she had lied to me about what was going on between her and Adrian so, I told all of our friends what she had done... In the meantime, Adrian and I started spending more time together and we were becoming good friends... I introduced him to another girl that I worked with, Amanda, who was like a little sister to me... She was 17 and when I introduced them I warned Adrian to be careful with her because I knew that she had issues and it might not be a good idea for him to get too close to her... He befriended her in order to be nice because he saw that she had a lot of abandonment issues and he thought he could help her... But, as I said, she mistook his attention for flirting and she developed a crush on him... Again, I warned him that she had a crush on him and he should be careful... One day they were hanging out while I was at work and she tried to kiss him... When he stopped her and told her that he didnt think that was a good idea and that he wasnt interested in her like that, she got mad and told me that they made out in order to cause a fight between him and I... Adrian and I discussed the whole situation and he told me exactly what happened and what he said to her... I told her that she messed up and I didnt trust her anymore... She apologized and begged for my forgiveness... After a few days of thinking I told her that I would forgive her because I understood that it was a mistake and I know what it's like to make a mistake and not to be forgiven but I also told her that it would take a while for her to earn the same trust back... She swore she would never let it happen again... In the meantime I started hearing things from people that she said they were hooking up and all this stuff was happening which was clearly impossible because at the time Adrian and I were spending literally 24/7 together and there was no time for them to even hang out because he was always with me... When I told him, he was furious and we came up with a plan to test her... He would hang out with her at his house and tell her to keep it a secret from me... He would never be alone with her, his brothers would be there the whole time so she couldnt say that something went on and we would see if she would tell me the truth... They hung out on a Friday, Adrian was supposed to be leaving for Florida the following Thursday but he found out on Tuesday that the trip was cancelled... That Thursday (the day he was supposed to leave) I got kicked out of my house... So on Friday Adrian and I headed out to NJ because I was moving in with my best friends parents... Amanda called me that day and left me a message saying "I need to talk to you but you're not answering me... I dont know what I did wrong for you to be ignoring me... That just figures... You and Adrian have a nice life... Goodbye..." After I let Adrian hear the message I said "She has some nerve saying that she doesnt know what she did wrong when she's well aware that she's been hiding the fact that she hung out with you.. She just doesnt know that I know..." So we didnt call her back... She called me that Sunday night... When I answered the phone she goes... "I NEED TO TALK TO ADRIAN!!" Now, I had been drinking so I wasnt about to be nice... I said "WHO THE **** ARE YOU TO CALL MY PHONE DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO ADRIAN... UNTIL ADRIAN STARTS PAYING MY PHONE BILL DONT CALL ME LOOKING FOR HIM... IF HE DOESNT CALL YOU, TAKE A HINT!!!!"... "DONT START WITH ME, LIZA, I NEED TO TALK TO HIM!! IT'S BETWEEN ME AND HIM!!"... "THERE'S NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND HIM... WHEN ARE YOU GONNA REALIZE THAT???"... So, finally I got really annoyed and threw the phone at him and said "TELL YOUR FRIEND NOT TO CALL MY PHONE DEMANDING TO TALK TO YOU!!"... He took the phone and immediately hung up on her, he got up and went upstairs because he was mad that I threw the phone... anyway, long story short, he went to sleep and I went online, still drunk... I wound up getting into an argument with Cat over IM and while I was talking to her I figured out that Cat, Amanda and a couple other people that I used to work with had set us up... They were trying to break up our friendship the whole time... So, I wrote Adrian a letter so I wouldnt forget what happened when I was sober... Anyway, 7am the next morning I get a phone call from Amanda... This was the conversation... "He's a ****ing liar! I wanna know why he's in NJ with you when he told me that he was going to Florida on Thursday!??".... "Amanda, are you his girlfriend?"... "No"... "Are you his wife??"... "No"... "So, then what right do you have to know where he is??? Are you jealous that he's with me and not with you???"... "He's a liar... He's been hooking up with me behind your back... He made me promise not to tell you"... "No, moron! I knew you were hanging out with him... We set you up to see if you would continue to lie to me and you have been... I know that [adrian's brothers] were with you both the whole time so don't even try to tell me that you were hooking up with him... You're the LIAR!!"... meanwhile Adrian had woken up and was listening to the conversation... He grabbed the phone from me... again, he immediately hung it up and told me that he didnt want to talk to her or about her ever again... He wanted me to cut all of them off completely because they were all causing unnecessary drama in our lives and we both have more important problems to worry about... So, that's what I've done... I told her 2 days later to leave us both alone, Adrian didnt want her calling him, I dont want her calling me and to just pretend like she never knew us because she lost the only two people that actually had her best interest in mind... That Cat and the rest of the people at the store (Oh, I forgot to mention that when this first started, she caused so much drama at my job that I had to quit)... that they were all backstabbers and liars and she was becoming just like them... So, I changed my AOL profile and deleted everything that had to do with them, deleted all the pictures of us and stopped writing stuff in my away messages that was aimed at them.... I stopped answering her emails, phone calls, etc... Yet, they continue to harass me... she ims me all the time... Cat still writes stuff about me in her profile... But, I made a promise to myself and Adrian that I would ignore them and wouldnt give them the satisfaction... Okay, now the reason that I even took the time to write all this is because after this morning I seriously needed to vent... I woke up at 5:30am to get a drink and to turn off the DVD player on my computer... I noticed a message from her... and this is what it said...
u dont have anybody and once hes done using u...he will drop u too...the only difference is i had friends at the end...oh and this may come as a shock but ur not black or even close to it so stop trying to act it...dumb *****
I've been fighting with myself all day because I'm at a point where I want to strangle this girl until she turns like 80 shades of blue... but I can't... and what I really want to say is FIRST OF ALL!!! You're the dumb ***** because you and Cat are just jealous that I have what you both want!! You have NO life so you sweat our every move and its obvious because you're still checking my away messages!!! Second, I dont measure my friendships based on quantity.. I measure them based on quality!! I'd rather have 2 best friends than 10 backstabbing liars!!! and THIRD, tell Izzy that I want him to deny what happened between the 2 of us in front of me because I'll blow him right out of the water when I list all the things that only a lover would know about him!!! (because they are trying to say that a guy that I was with a while ago is denying that we were together and I know that he probably is but I would love for him to try to deny it in front of me!) So, anyway, of course I told Adrian this morning what happened and he told me to just ignore them, as usual, and then he said "Hey Lyz... Do me a favor... listen to the Jon B. song that I downloaded on your comp..." So, I did... and there's a part in it that goes...
*Don't listen to what people say...
They don't know about... 'bout you and me...
Put it out your mind cuz it's jealousy...
They don't know about this here...*
It made me feel a little better but I still wanna kick the life outta this chick!

Yikes. Sorry I haven't got anything helpful but I'm sorry that you're going through this. I think the only thing you can do is what you've been trying to do - ignore them. I know it's hard but it's for the best, ya know?

Hope things get easier for you and Adrian!

WOW! Sounds like a ton of drama. Teenagers lie a lot. I dealt with this when I was younger. Jealousy and rumors cause a lot of pain. Get rid of these people in your life!

I would want to say/do the worst things possible to her, but guess what? That would make you as low as she is... and I think you have realized that

Move on and try to be happy with Adrian ok? Best of luck, PM me if you ever want to talk!!

Hi Liza, I agree with everybody - ignore them. Go on with your life, no reason to stoop yourself down to their level, know what I mean?
As long as you know that you're right, to hell with everyone else.

Blocking them from your IM would make it a lot easier for you to ignore them. And then they would really know that you don't want anything to do with them. Oh, and set the IM up so you don't accept messages from anyone not on your Buddy list.

Thanks for the support and advice everyone... I know that was really long to read but I couldnt just put what she said in a thread because it wouldnt have made sense without the background... You're all right... I need to ignore her despite the violent urges I'm having right now... I must admit tho, I do have something up my sleeve that's going to make her a very unhappy little girl... I just have to figure out how to go about it... If anyone knows anything about the Marine Corp, let me know... I have an idea...

This girl did some messed up stuff, no denying that. But why keep baiting her? That's just going to prolong the drama. Like everyone else said, block her out of your IM, don't return her calls, just let it go. You're just giving yourself unnecessary agita by continuing to deal with her on any level.

I completely agree with Stefanie.

Karma is a b!tch when she's crossed, and these girls will get theirs in the end. They are not good people and it will come back to them without any help from you. While they usually say this in the course of a divorce, it fits here too: Living well is the best revenge.

Negativity is contageous. Be the bigger person and cleanse yourself of these people totally. You and Adrian will be much better off. It is hard to do, revenge sounds so sweet...but it's never as satisfying as it seems when you're planning it.

Good grief, why even waste your time? As others said move on. Revenge is sickening to plan and stupid to act on. Let the universe take care of the bad people and just calm down and go for a walk or you might end up on a Jerry Springer episode!

I dont really care about what they say as much as it's bothering me that I'm letting them get away with saying it... That's why Adrian always refers to the lyrics of the song that I posted earlier... They dont know about us so there's no point in listening to what they say because they are just jealous...

And you guys are absolutely right, I have to just let it go and ignore them but I've been doing that for so long that it's starting to really get on my nerves... I also know that if I block them, it's not going to really get rid of them because they've been sweating me so much that they'll just harass me with a different screenname or they'll just keep calling me when they know I'm with him.... It's childish... I just stay cool until they grow up and get lives... It's actually kinda funny to me that they claim to be so happy with their friends and their lives yet, they are still bothering me when I havent said a word to anyone in 2 months...

I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but from what I've read here, it seems to me that you've brought this on yourself. Setting people up? "Testing" loyalty? These are schoolyard actions and they bring about schoolyard drama. If you want to move on, grow up. Block the IMs. Fill your time with something other than obsessing about the situation. And, for god sake, don't do whatever is "up your sleeve". One of the most important distinctions between childhood and adulthood is learning to do what needs to be done to handle the situation at hand, even if it's not what you want to do. If you continue to play the game, you'll have only yourself to blame for the next "betrayal"...take this oppotunity to demonstrate your maturity instead of acting like a pre-teen girl. Walk away.

I also have to agree, if you want to continue this drama you have only yourself to blame.

All I'm gonna say to this is... when you've been lied to and stabbed in the back by so-called friends as many times as I have you realize that sometimes you have to do what you have to do in order to determine if people are really your friends... It's not to be childish but sometimes there's no other way to know if someone is lying to you... Like I said before... you're all right, I'm gonna continue to ignore them... I had a long conversation with Adrian about it today and he suggested that I change my phone number and email, etc... but I refuse to change my number or the email address that I've had for almost 10 years because of a bunch of childish people... Block them... yes... change my number... absolutely not... It's more work than it's worth...

Oh, and as for what's up my sleeve.... well... Adrian thinks that it's actually a good idea because, ideally, it should prevent her from getting into the trouble that she's headed for if she keeps associating with the people she has been and doing the things she has been doing... As angry as I am with her and as much as I want to hurt her, there's still a part of me that remembers a time when I looked at her as my little sister and I only had her best interest at heart... That same part of me realizes that the **** she's doing to me now is because she's hurt and she's been manipulated into believing that it was my fault that Adrian wasnt interested in her... The same way that Cat blamed me for Adrian not be interested in her... I remember what it feels like to have a crush on someone who didnt know I was alive... The only difference is I didnt take it out on the girl that he was interested in... I silently hated her
but never tried to destroy their relationship.. I realized at an early age that 'what's meant to be... will be...' Unfortunately, she hasnt realized that, yet...

and then let it go. Truly your energy is better spent on doing good things rather than focusing on all the negative stuff. Revenge never feels good. It's and empty acheivement and gets you no where. You and Adrian are friends. What evryone else thinks shouldn't matter. Let it go.

We can all see that it's chewing you up inside but the more you let it get to you the worse it's going to get.

What evers up your sleeve for her, and even if Adrian thinks it's a good idea?!, if this girl wants to associate with people who you both think are no good for her then thats her business and not for you or Adrian to worry about!.

Make new friends!, but don't let whats happend control your life.

Let it go, give it up to a higher power to worry about. Block all the IM's, if you find they are pretending to be new people then block them too. Just move on with your life and sever all ties. Trust people at face value unless you have a reason not to but do not trust to far to fast. Protect yourself but do not goto extremes, live life to enjoy it and for yourself without harming anyone else and doing all the good your able to. Best of luck to you both.
