"What do you mean by blackmail? Who is blackmailing you? And most of all, why?"
Though I knew that I should be patient and let her explain at her own pace but what can I do?
Some jerk was blackmailing my friend, and I was unaware of it for God knows how much time. I should have trusted my gut when I first felt her being low on the call.
Now, I feel a little guilty for not speaking to her soon.
I got such busy in my problems that I totally forgot, or should I say, ignored her...Caroline, my friend who let me stay at her place. Who got me when I called her to announce the divorce?
Who listened to me cry, rage, rant, and repeat, and never once judged me for it. She was there when I was at my absolute worst, and here I was, blind to hers.
The guilt twisted deeper in my stomach. How selfish could I be? Wrapped up in Dave, Linda, birthdays, and my own mess, I completely missed the fact that my best friend was fighting her own storm.
