Here we go

My heart stopped when I heard Meg's voice. The thing is, I am horrible with confrontations. When I get really upset I tend to cry, and I think this usually makes me look weak to the other person. The last thing I wanted was for her to think that she could make me cry.

J. must have felt how tense I got, because I felt his hold on my hands become tighter. I smiled at him, hoping he knew it was my way of saying thanks. when I looked up, I finally met eyes with her. She was standing there with a smile on her face. A smile of all things! I wasn't sure how to react to her.

Meg calmly walked up to the table, looked down at us, and said, "It's princess perfect and her little puppy dog."

Her voice was so cold I could barely recognize it. Who was this girl standing before me? How could this be the same girl I have known and called my best friend for years? I was stunned and realized neither J. nor I had said anything to her.

Finally J. stood up, and said, "Just leave Meg, I think you've done enough."

"Let's recap," she said with contempt in her voice. "First, she dates you. Dumps you. Starts sleeping with Aaron two days after you two break up. Flaunts him in front of you. And now she has you defending her honor." She started to laugh and called J. pathetic.

That was it. I've had enough and I was not going to let her talk to J. like this.

"Meg!," I said louder then I was expecting, which caused her to turn and look at me. "That's enough. That's enough of everything. I get it, you have problems with me. You see me as this horrible person, and you've clearly tried to teach me some messed up lessons lately. Congrats, you got Pat, but I had him first. Congrats you wanted J., but he turned you down. Congrats on going out of your way to teach me a lesson. To hurt me for things that I had no control over. Congratulations on ruining a friendship with someone that would be willing to do anything for you. But now, you are just being a vindictive bitch and I am done with this. Sleep with whomever of my exes that you want. If sloppy seconds are your thing, go for it! But leave me, J., and Aaron the hell alone you psychotic bitch,"

I was amazed at myself. I did not cry. I had stayed calm and finally spoken my mind. I grabbed my purse turned and walked away. As I was walking away, I heard J. say, "you crazy bitch!" Soon he was right besides me with his arm around my shoulders.

"You did great A.!", he said with a smile.

"Thanks," I said. "But I don't feel great about any of this." I hated what had just happened. I knew that Meg wasn't a real friend. A real friend would not do what she did to me. i knew that the best thing to do was to move on and be happy for the people who did care about me. I was happy to have J. back in my life, and I knew that things would be better now.
