The Matt & Sarah story I shouldn't be involved in
Matt is derek's roommate/best friend and Sarah (who I've mentioned before) is Derek's ex and one of my close friends now.
So... they started not-dating a while back... for those of you who don't know, not-dating is sort of like friends with benefits, but with the possibility of someday dating - like the boy & I did before we capitalized the "D" in Dating. Things were going well, but she wanted to take it slow and he wanted a girlfriend. So.... she had a vacation from werk so she went to Cali to visit her father for a week. This past saturday, we had a small get-together at the apartment, and Matt was there. So was Jordan (a girl matt has had a long and tangled history with - also the girl I kissed) and a few other people. We got pretty drunk, and Matt decided that it would be a good idea to let Jordan come hang out in his room .... alone.... and what ended up happening, is she kissed him and started to give him head. He stopped her, but it was almost irrelevant at that point. Then... to make matters worse... he didn't tell Sarah until last night. He "didn't want to ruin her vacation" so he was going to wait until she got home. Last night, though, he was on the phone with her and she knew something was wrong. Now, I've known since Sunday that something happened, known since last night exactly what happened. I didn't, couldn't tell Sarah b/c it was Matt's place to say and I don't want to cause chaos between roommates and such. Sarah called me this morning to cry b/c she really liked matt and he messed up bad. I am in a fairly precarious position, b/c if she knows I knew, she'll be angry at me for not telling her. She is really really mad at Matt, and I can't blame her - I would be too. She was under the (correct) assumption that they were exclusive. Now she's thousands of miles away with no friends there to help her deal with it and all her & Matt's friends are here for him. *sigh* I wish I could help her. And I try not to be angry at matt, but I know why she's upset, and esp. b/c he didn't tell her until now. Saturday night after it happened would have been the best time, so she knew he regretted it immediately and they may have been able to work things out. To further complicate things, last week Jordan called Sarah a dirty skanky ho or something equally juvenile and mean. I just hate getting caught up in the drama. And I wish there was something I could do for Sarah. Now she has to be out there until Saturday alone. Poor kid.....
