Ugh...
Ladies, I got an update. It'll be the last one, I'm honestly exhausted.
He won't leave me alone.
Yesterday, I hosted a gathering for a dear friend of mine who was leaving and we all wanted to surround him with love and positivity. My ex-friend attended. I did not invite him, but he is a friend of the person the gathering was for so I decided not to care. I'm just hanging with friends, laughing, and having a good time, he's minding his business so it's all peaceful. We all head to another friend's house to continue the fun. After taking a dip in the pool, I check my phone and its from a number I don't know. I ask loudly whose number is it and he immediately claims it. This dude texted me talking about he thinks one of the guests is a skinhead. -.-
I tell this dude to delete my number already and I don't want to associate with him and he REFUSES! He texts me some "how could you leave me?" crap like I'm supposed to be committed, he knows he took me for granted, he's sorry his drug addiction has changed him (I know he smokes weed and I heard rumors he's using heavier drugs, but my god, I never expected him to confirm it), if we're friends again things will be different, and I tell him he's going to have to move on. My how tables turn. He would NOT stop texting me yesterday!
Some time later, I head to the bathroom, and after finishing my porcelain bowl business and cleansing my hands, I exit and there he is right at the door waiting for me, smh!
I glance at him and walk away thinking he wanted to use it next and he's calling my name. I turn and not even glare, but just give him the most stoic stare and he can't even look in my eyes. He didn't say anything so I turned and walk away and this dude has the audacity to GRAB ME!
I quickly freed myself and went Stacker Pentecost on him like

He gwaan and tell me, "You said you'd never leave me!" like I'm his f
ucking girlfriend! I said no I did not and told him yet again he is to delete my number and refrain from contacting me and walked off.
Thankfully, he went home.
Ladies and gents of BHM, I cannot be his friend anymore due to all the drama and disrespect from him. My pride simply will not allow me. But I'm feeling conflicted because it's obvious the dude is hurting and is hurting bad. I could see the pain on his face. His eyes were red and a bit teary but I don't know if that's from crying or him getting high, SMH!!
The conflict isn't compelling me to be his friend again, everything is beyond repair and I won't even bother. But I suppose seeing his stress in person has me a little shaken.
*Sigh* I'm tired. I'm gonna go eat anything with Nutella on it.
