As some of you may or may not know, I posted on this particular board askin for prayers for a very close friend of mine who had been in a car accident.......

*(Begin the backstory)*

While all this was going on, she & her parents got into a big fight over me & spring break......we were both planning on her coming up here to see me when my spring break came along.....but her parents said if they were paying for that (she's in between jobs), then I had to at least come down there first and meet them.......not at all unreasonable.....but quite impossible for me being a poor college student.

She asked me if I would be willing to come down if they (her parents) would pay my way.........I jumped at the chance and said yes.....so then she came back and said they'd 'think about it'.

Well...to kind of speed things along, I wrote her parents a note introducing myself, telling them about me etc.  I also said that even if I had to spend all my time in the hospital sitting with her, I'd gladly take them up on their offer and come on down.....

***(The REAL issue)***

They got the letter today and they liked it, still haven't made up their minds...........there is one rather BIG problem though.

She never was in a car accident and never was in the hospital!  It was a big fat lie!

She said that this all started because her friend got stoned and started playing with her phone.......

I asked her why she didn't just text me, or call me back or something and let me know what was up.......but this all happened after I told her 'friend' there that I had some deep feelings for her......so she played along with it out of fear that if she told me it was all a lie, that I would just drop her like that and never talk to her again.......

She expected me to be all furious and just pissed as hell.....but the strange thing was, I felt okay.....yeah, I was really suprised/taken aback............but I felt okay there and the reason I did was because the whole time this was going on, I was feeding all the details (which I will omit due to their extremely sensitive nature) to 1-2 really close friends I trust.......they listened to everything and told me things didn't smell quite right......

So yeah, I had a thin idea she might've been lying to me about this whole deal.....but I just wanted to see how long this would play out before she finally fessed up.

The big problem I have now is, I still care for her *alot*.......the only thing this has done is kill my trust in her......I still like her though and I told her that over and over.......but she's a wreck and is scared to believe me because she think down the road after this sinks in, I'll end up walking away and breaking her heart (which is something she can't bear).

I've said everything I can to reassure her over and over and over....but it doesn't seem like anything's helping.  She just told me to 'think about things' until she talks to me again tomorrow.....

She's just being manipulative and is taking advantage of u sucking up to her.

yeah, that's what a friend of mine said too......she seems like she's feeding off the emotion though, because she's all 'emotional' over this herself
