I have always had friends, they have always been an important part in my life, I love them so much that every time I have a problem I  always go to them and ask them for advice. I hate problems, I’m always trying to avoid them, and especially I hate starting a conflict. I also love my boyfriend, he has been a huge part of my life for a very long time, I have had discussions with him and we have fought before, however we still love each other and we like to talk over the problems and try to find a solution to it .

I could hear the music in the background, the soccer ball hitting the wall, I could also hear the splashes in the pool and many voices and many laughs. There were crickets that made their weird noise. I was having the most amazing time in the party with my friends. We were dancing, eating and joking around. But you know… with every good thing comes a bad thing. My boyfriend. Yes, he was the problem. David is the nicest boy ever, he is tall, he has black hair, he is very respectful, and he has always been there for me. I found it hard to understand that he was part of the problem, he is that nice! he would never try to hurt me, so I knew that this problem wasn’t his fault. My friend Andrea on the other hand is kind of disrespectful, she always tries to get everybody’s attention, and she does!  She is very pretty, she has the best hair color, brown with a little bit of blond, her eyes are kind of cool to. David and Andrea had been together the whole party, she had been flirting with David, my boyfriend. Their were taking pictures, laughing, they would go for a walk together, and they would hug each other. I’m not a jealous person but this really made me angry, confused, sad and very jealous. It felt horrible. I felt like I was being stabbed in the back by best friend.

I couldn’t control my anger anymore!!!…

“How come you don’t know what you did?!” I said while my eyes started to fill  with lots of tears
“YOU NEED TO STOP FLIRTING WITH MY BOYFRIEND NOW!!, you are always talking to him, it seems that you want to steel him from me!!!.

“I don’t care what you say, I will do what I want” she said with a voice that seemed that she didn’t care about my feelings. I pushed her. Very hard. She fell. I could see the tears running down her face, in that moment I could care less how she felt.

“STOP!!!” she yelled.
“You stop!, please stay away from my boyfriend and stop talking to him NOW!, do you like him or what?”
“No way!! I would never do that to my best friend!!”

In some way I didn’t want to believe her, she has always been like that. When some of us in our group likes a boy she always talks to him and flirts with him she is just that kind of girl, but not this time. This time I was not letting this happen!

“Don’t tell me that you would never to that! I saw you flirting with him. You are always taking to him, If you respect me, then you should stop, and when ever he starts talking to you in a way that is more than a friendly way you should make him stop, imagine me doing this to the boy you like?!! …. How would you feel?”

“Yes you are right” her voice sounded carless, she was not listening, she was just answering, she wanted me just to leave her alone. I pushed her again, she feel from the stairs down into the grass, she stood up and she pushed me back. We started to yell at each other. I didn’t realize that my boyfriend was standing in the back of me. He had his eyes wide open. He was shocked. He had seen everything. Big tears rolled down my cheeks. I could feel my red face. I ran and ran into the garden, away from the party. I sat under a scary tree. He came running after me. He hugged me and gave me a kiss and said that everything was okay. I tried explaining to him what was going on, but the words just wouldn’t come out. I felt that I had a giant knot in my throat, he hugged me again and didn’t let go. I felt more confortable and I knew I was not alone and he was there for me. 

After I calmed down and I was more relaxed, my boyfriend helped me get on my feet, he hugged me and took me back to the party.
I heard the “click, click, click” of the high heels, I could tell that my friend, was coming
she came and hugged me from behind.

“Im so sorry, now I know how you feel, I didn’t realize the way I was treating you and your relationship, I swear that I will get away from him and I will respect you.” She hugged me tight, I could feel her tears dropping and rolling down my back. I hugged her tight too. I could feel and listen her heart beat. I had no words to say. My mind mas  blank. The only think that I knew was that I was staring at the lights and trees.  After the very long hug, Andrea dared to ask...

“Are you mad?”
“Honestly, I said, yes I am. I don’t want this to happen ever again okay?”

“Okay, I promise” she hugged me again and we didn’t let go. And for the rest of the night we danced and we had the best night of our lives. And the best part was that I had the chance to talk things over with her and let her know what had been bothering me all this time. We are very good friends and I didn´t want to lose her as a friend just because we had a misunderstanding. We both learned from this and now we are more fiends than before!! Also I had the chance to talk to David and we also talked about this problem, I told him what bothered me and he understood.  He is the nicest boy ever!!  He said, he loves me!! He just thinks of Andrea as a friend!. He was very sorry about all of this misunderstanding and that without knowing, he made me feel sad. We talked for a long time…just David and me, and for the rest of the party we danced, we took pictures and we laugh or head off. It was one of the best nights ever.  This problem has never presented again!  We all learned a lesson, every body needs to respect special relationships and never cause any problems!

Sometimes life can be very hard, and friends will not always be there to support you in your problems, maybe they might be the problem, but we need to learn how to over come them. I still love my friend and no matter what happens I will never let her go because she has been there for me always and I will always be there for her too. But the most important thing that I learn in this experience is how to forgive. I love a lot my boyfriend and I will never let him go, I also learned how to forgive him because what he did to me hurt me. But if I hadn’t had this experience I wouldn’t have learned how to forgive.
