Sad True Story

Several years ago my friend was in a very toxic and brutal relationship. In the past we were friends with benefits. But it didn't work, we settled for friends. One day my friend called me on the phone and told me that she was being abused by her girlfriend. My heart cried for her that day. The fear in her voice sent anger through my soul. She then tells me that her girlfriend was scared of me because she knew me from the past. Using this information, I came up with a plan to get her away from the abusive female. I convinced her to meet me and I picked her up while the girlfriend was at work. I took her to my house. When the girl got off work, she was on the war path. She found out that she was with me. I asked my friend to call her for me. Although it wasn't true, I told that abusive female that my friend and I were getting married. I told her to never come around her family again. And believe it or not she never came around again. My friend found a new girlfriend and is living happily.
