"This is my best friend, Corey." That's how I used to be introduced...
In high school I was a chump. I was a sucker. Somehow I managed to become that "dick in a glass case" to every girl that I was even remotely interested in. Without fail, any new venture would end with a hug and words of how sweet I am. It took a while but eventually I got an attitude. Things changed after that. There I was, 18 years old and still a virgin. Hell, I had never kissed anyone. That was about to change. I was set to graduate May 30, 1997. On May 31 I was going out with Shannon. Everything was going to change. Little did I know just how much things were about to change. My best friend Eli came to me the night of the 30th and let me know that we were going to this absolutely amazing place called Waxhaw, North Carolina. Let me tell you a little about this place. Just over 2000 people occupy the 3 square miles that is Waxhaw, North Carolina. One stop light. FIVE gas stations. One grocery store. Two restaurants. Real exciting, right? No way was I going for this. I was getting laid on the 31st. No way was I going to this Waxhaw, NC.
So I am in Waxhaw. I am in Waxhaw and NOT on my date with Shannon. Not getting laid. Not really excited about anything other than the prospect of leaving this place and returning to the life that I knew. The life that was somehow more exciting than this place. Then I met her. Susan. The one who would change my life. Man was she beautiful! Built just like I like em. Not really tall. Not too thin, not too thick. Blonde over blue with a smile that will melt your heart at fifty feet. Somehow this girl was into me. Somehow we clicked. Somehow it all felt right. Six months later, after doing a little math, I realized that I could turn in the $300.00-a-month phone bill and the two hour drive and move to Charlotte, NC and not have to spend too much more cash than I already was. Here's where things take a slight turn. This moment in time was the moment when I should have turned and ran, never looking back. Never worrying about Waxhaw, or Susan, or this "puppy love" I was experiencing. Eli let me know that she had told him about this guy she had "met" while at the mall. Some dude from up north. Some guy who never called her. I saw the intent there. Eli saw it. Everyone saw it. I called her immediately and for the next two hours let her know what a piece of trash she was. Leave it to me... three days later we are back together and I am heading to Charlotte.
Eight months later I am living in Charlotte, working over 70 hours a week trying to pay the bills. Everything was good though. I was away from all of my family and Susan was close. I had no friends, no family, just Susan. Eventually I got a job bouncing and met this guy Jim. He was pretty cool. About 10 years older than I was. He had fought in Desert Storm, was awarded a purple heart, and had some awesome stories. We grew close. Finally I had a friend in Charlotte. Let me take this moment to say that I am not like most people. I don't have a lot of friends. I have a few close friends and everyone else is just a face that I see from time to time. Needless to say there is a certain level of dedication and loyalty involved. Jim didn't have a car. I did. I'd let him borrow my car, I would take him places, lend him cash if he needed it... you get the picture.
Jim and I toasted the first time I got laid. Two days later he was calling me to make sure I was ok, since Susan had left me. (Talk about a great complement to the first lay. I must have been horrible, huh?) A month later we are back together again. She called again. She was sorry.
This breaking up and getting back together happened two more times. The last time I damn near killed someone. Hell, I almost killed people. She called me to let me know that she had done something she wasn't proud of. She didn't have to say anything else. She had slept with Olie. Oh yeah, Mr. Ghetto thug from WAXHAW Olie. What Olie really was was this black guy who had a white face because of all of the zits. One might think he would the tops off in one fell swoop and take care of everything once and for all.
Now, aside from the 3 or 4 stints of no more than a month apart, by this time we had been together almost 3 years. THREE YEARS! I lived for this girl. Everything I did was for her. I put up with her family's crap day after day for her. For some reason her mom hated me and her step-dad didn't have the balls to say otherwise. I loved this girl man. Maybe you would say that I was scared to not be with her. I would say that too. I did love her though. Perhaps I should have run. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken her calls. Perhaps I should have seen. Hindsight is 20/20. We got back together and moved in together. An apartment in Rock Hill, SC is where we called home. I moved, once again 2 hours away from friends and family. I worked 40 hours a week. She got my check to pay the bills. Her money could go to whatever we wanted because mine covered the bills. Flash forward one year. April 1, 2001 to be exact. APRIL FOOLS DAY, YA'LL. I am getting ready to go into work. I had been with her earlier in the day and everything was fine. She calls me on the phone. She is out with her friends. She has something to tell me. She doesn't want to be with me anymore. I thought it was a damn good joke for a minute.
Turns out she had been cheating on me. Turns out she had become a rather large internet whore. Some of you may have had an encounter with her. The last confirmed number was somewhere around 14 in a 2 month period.
I tried to be nice. It is hard to go from spending every day with someone who is your world to not talking to them at all. She wanted to be friends. I NEEDED her in my life in some capacity at that time. We would talk at night. Several times she asked me to meet up with her, and each time I told her no.
Jim called to find out how I was doing. He wanted to make sure I was alright and he let me know that he would be stopping by the house the following week.
One night, about 4 months after she left, 4 months since I had been in her presence, she found me on the computer. Our usual conversation started but I could tell that something was different. I ask and she was more than willing to let me know. "I found someone! He is really great! I just think he is my soulmate!" (Four months after four years, ya'll) Yeah, I didn't have to ask, I already knew.....
"This is my best friend, Corey."

So this was my first post here. I have wanted to share this with someone for quite some time now. This seemed to be a good outlet.
Here it is, May 2004 and the thought of her still pisses me off. I do not know if it is the fact that she didn't have the nerve to leave me in person, that she did it on the phone, on APRIL FOOLS DAY, with her little friends giggling in the background, or if it is the fact that I have not been able to say my piece to her, not in person. She won't allow that to happen. Maybe it is Jim. Maybe it is the fact that not one but two people I trusted with my life were willing to thrust a sword into my back. Hopefully these two are happy. I have found someone new. I will be asking this girl to marry me within the next year, but I still cannot bring myself to seek out Susan and Jim. I am afraid of what might happen. Three years and the anger is still there. Now I know how Caesar felt.

I want to give a -2 soley based on the reason that my name is Susan as well and once my fiance' reads your post he'll have some smart ass comment to make about the "coincidence".
But the writing was good, kept me interested, so no point in being a bitch!
(though it does sound like somebody has a few pent-up feelings....I mean, 3 years? wow.)

That's ok. I wanted to blast you solely based on the fact that your name is Susan as well.
And yes, I do have some pent-up aggression. April Fool's Day... Telephone... Jim...

Apparently Loki has been there. If someone wants to tell me how to respond here without giving a rating I would appreciate it. Loki, are you in that area?

Oh, I had my fun with her. I played the psychotic ex very well. I found out about guys she was sleeping with and I would describe them to her. That was always fun. She never could figure out how I knew the things I knew. She wasn't too bright. Other things came from my anger but I will save those for my next post.
