Taking out the garbage

Last night I decided to call a friend of mine whom I haven't seen in over a year to see how she was doing. This may sound a little odd, but I'm quite used to my friends dropping in and out of my life on a regular basis. This was no different... or so I thought. Anyway, I call her and some dude answers the phone. After asking me several times who I was the dumb shit finally gives the phone to my friend.
First thing I noticed was her rather apathetic behavior, a far cry from the usual hyper perkiness. She tells me she hasn't seen me in awhile and asks if I was married. I said no and asked her the same question. She said she was engaged and couldn't quite "remember" when so then she asks her "man" when they were getting married and made sure I heard her mushy exchange between them... *gag*. The dude asks her who I was and she responds with "some guy I know". What the fuck is that supposed to mean? "Some guy?" That's odd, I could've sworn I was a friend who used to stay up with her for hours on the phone and offer whatever support I could when her latest "dream guy" beat the living hell out of her. Only a friend would listen to her constant bitching and moaning about life's everyday problems that everyone has to deal with. Who else but a friend would pick them up and drive them home because her "friends" abandoned her worthless ass because she was so drunk and high on coke. The list goes on.

Needless to say, I've done a lot for this broad and never asked for anything in return and suddenly I'm reduced to "some guy she knows." I guess I shouldn't be surprised, everytime she gets engaged to some new loser, she disappears off the face of earth, but this is the final fucking straw. When this latest work realease meth head decides to use her as a punching bag or steals her money or molests her kids, I'll be DAMNED if I'm going to be there to pick up the pieces of her shattered little life.
Maybe she was like that because he's insanely jealous and probably got the shit beatne out of her. Tough shit. She should've learned by now not to hook up with ex fucking cons! Hell with her.

This just makes my decision to put my needs above all others (who aren't related) that much easier. Fuck this caring for others bullshit.
