My apologies. I am on mobile so I don’t know how to format. I 23F have a best friend 25f. I actually can’t tell if I’m being sensitive or not. BACKGROUND We met a a job where I was her higher up. We eventually became friends. After her and I both left the job we became closer. She was there for me when I left my fiancé at the time. However my friend has always been incredibly secretive to me. She has a son who is 6. I’ve met him about 3 times through our 5 year friendship. To make it it easier I’ll call my friend Mimi. Mimi has always been a party girl. She has never been loyal to a man. Since the day I met her she was single and has remained that way. She does have many men who are attracted to her as well as a “boyfriend” in reality she is not loyal to this man in at all. He is by all means a sugar daddy. At least that’s what she says. (Once we went out for a few drinks. And he told me that he ran out of money and couldn’t afford her tab. So obviously, I covered it.) To the actual story. Three weeks ago Mimi called me at 4:00am in tears. She said she was so drunk that she had no idea what happened. But her face was torn to shreds. She asked me to pick her up. This is a somewhat common occurrence when she hangs out with the “boyfriend” I mentioned previously. Let’s say Smith for an easier read. This not the first time that something like this has happened when she hangs out with smith. She has called me at least 7 times in the past year because hanging out with him has ended badly and she needs a ride home. So I speed to wherever she is and pick her up with no problems. However the most recent time, she was completely messed up. She had bruises of hand prints on her arms, her face was ripped apart. Mimi had bruises on her legs near her intimate areas. She had no idea what happened and called me begging for me to pick her up at 6AM. So I did. I drove to her and picked her up. From what she told me. Smith and her had gone out to the bar. She handed him her car keys and phone. But shortly after having a few drinks. She completely blacked out. She woke up at his house with no phone. And no keys. She didn’t even have her shoes. But she was covered in her own blood from what happened. She told me she didn’t have a single clue what had transpired. She was in my car screaming and sobbing. I looked through the roads she was at that night and found her phone. I then dropped her off at home. I wanted to walk her in, but I am not allowed inside her apartment any longer. As she lives with her child’s father who doesn’t like me. I have no idea why, as I’ve been nothing but kind and loving to Mimi. The next day I tried to take her to the hospital but she ignored my text and calls. This is also usual as we don’t talk unless I reply to her within an hour of her texting me first. If you’ve gotten this far thank you for reading! Sorry it’s such a huge wall of text. To the main point. Tonight is my boyfriend’s birthday. All he wanted was his friends and family over. Mimi is obviously a part of our family as she has been my best friend for years. She didn’t text me until hours after the night had started. It wasn’t a party. It was just a relaxed night with my family and his. All we did was sit, have a few drinks and play games. I texted and called and she ignored me. At 9:00pm she asked if we wanted to go to the bar. I told her no as we had already been drinking and didn’t want to go out. She simply refused to answer me. She still hasn’t even opened my messages. It is currently 11:00pm. I checked her location, she is at Smiths house. I know that she is going to call me later because she is in trouble with him. But I don’t want to answer her. I don’t want to pick her up. But I can’t tell if I’m overthinking it or not. I just don’t like this man. And I hate who she is when she’s around him. But she doesn’t listen. If I turn off my notifications for her for the night will I be the asshole?
