If you know who I am, or have ever creeped on my Instagram, you know I'm borderline obsessed with my best friend. I'd like to start off by saying that every girl should be a little obsessed and over protective of their best friend(s). They are wonderful creations of gold and glitter, and should be treasured and treated as such.
I know there are those of you who don't understand; allow me to explain the logic behind the madness.
My best friend has never been the relationship type, so you can imagine my surprise when she started talking to someone a little over a year ago. Let's call him David. From the beginning, I had a sixth sense about this David character. Call it a mother's (of two cats) intuition, but it was a no from me. I never vocalized my negative opinion of him at the time, and I now know I was in the wrong for that. I was quite honestly just enjoying seeing my best friend so blissfully happy with someone.
About a month or so of them spending time together, David asked me if I would help him ask my best friend to be his girlfriend. He wanted me to pick out a dress for her to wear to dinner. Yes everyone, David was really about to pull the "put this on and be ready by seven we're going to dinner" ploy. Regardless of the fact that I wanted to barf, I knew my best friend would love it. As you could assume, they started dating officially that night.
Unfortunately, my suspicions about David started confirming themselves after only a short time of dating. My best friend ultimately ended things with him after he went three days with absolutely no form of contact with her. Soon thereafter, my best friend found out that David cheated on her. I felt so guilty. If I would've said something earlier, could this have been prevented? My best friend was devastated. I've never seen such a strong person look so weak.
After that, I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone hurt my best friend again. I promised myself I wouldn't even let anyone get remotely close enough to her to hurt her. I use humor to mask my fear of something like that happening again, and I'm notorious for being over dramatic about anything involving her, but now you know -- it's not beyond reason.
