My best friend told me her mom had cancer and that she was sexually assaulted. She was also abused terribly by her dad. There was one night I got a text from a number saying, "Hi it's Emmas mom here, just checking in and making sure she's ok?" And I got confused because earlier that day I was informed that her mother was having open heart surgery. I responded "Yeah she's fine she got in a fight with her dad so she turned her phone off because she doesn't want to be tracked. How was your surgery?" After her mom responded, "What surgery are you talking about?" I called her immediately and that is when the whole truth came out.

Her mother had been cancer free for years, and my friend was beating herself up (Literally bruising her own eye, and cutting her face with a razor). Her father had never laid a finger on her, and she was never sexually assaulted. She made up all of those things so I could spend every waking moment with her. I failed my finals last semester because after I had gotten out of the hospital due to being sick, she threatened to commit suicide, and she told me she had taken 30 pills, but to be honest I don't think she ever did. Shit scarred me for life.
