Me Lindsi Britti and Tina NYC 2004
I've known Lindsi forever- but we just recently became close. She's very tough and aggressive, she "beats up" on her boyfriend all the time, has a foul mouth, and is going into the army. She brings a little flavor into my life- the constant arguements between her and her boyfriend entertain me at lunch and her constant running her mouth about beating up every girl she doesn't like reminds me that I'm still in highschool... But then there is a soft side to Lindsi that only I get to see- because she trusts me and comes to me for advice and knows that I'll be there for her because she considers me her best friend.
Early Sunday morning (around 6:30!) I received a phonecall from her, she was upset about what had happened the night before with her boyfriend. They were suppose to go out after he got done work- well his boss got him drunk and took him home with him because he didn't want him to drive- and joe passed out and never called Lindsi, so she got really worried. They had plans to go out with another couple around 4 and she looked for him until 9:30 when joe's dad and her finally found him at joe's boss's house. She was angry and upset- and was planning on breaking up with him because this wasn't the first time he's had problems with alcohol, because it's always getting him in trouble somehow. Well I talked to her, she was crying- she really loves this boy, but she knew that she can't just have him walk all over her all the time. I gave her some advice to give him another chance, and that everyone makes mistakes- but you need to tell him the consequences if something like this happens again- that you're not going to put up with it, it's irresponsible- dangerous and makes you worry all the time.
Well today I saw them and they are doing fine. It's nice to know you helped out your friend and actually gave them some solid advice for them to listen to. Joe came up to me and thanked me because he said that Lindsi probably wouldn't have gave him another chance if it wasn't for me and that I saved their relationship- and I'm glad because despite their fights and her "beating" him up all the time lol- they are perfect for each other and they are an awesome couple.
Friends come and Friends go, but the ones that truely care about you and want the best for you are the people you will never forget. They give you good advice, are there to listen, and you can always count on them to put a smile on my face. I'm glad I got to be that friend today.
