I just got a call from that friend who ditched me last night.
Apparently she is in the hospital and needs me to pick her up as they won’t let her go without someone there with her. And she can’t or won’t get her family to pick her up.
She didn’t tell me much, but said the police picked her up in an alley last night and that she’s hurt and they’re holding her in the emergency room. I have NO idea what this could mean. I’ve never known her to be one for risky behaviour so I don’t know what’s going on.
The problem is that I am at work right now, and can’t easily go pick her up.
She’s going to call me back in half an hour and let me know if she has seen a doctor yet and if she still needs me to come and get her. The reason I am hesitating is because if she is able to be released on her own, I don’t want to get permission and go alllll the way there to find out she didn’t really need me after all.
Just like last night.
Gawd, the drama lately! This is so surreal, and I am out of my depth. I hope I’m handling this the right way.

Oy, what is going on with her?
I thought about this yesterday, and after reading this, I really can't help but think that something happened to this girl and she's got herself wrapped up in one of those bad self-destructive (or perhaps just sabotaging) circles.
I don't know her of course, but I can't shake the thought that she's feeling bad and perhaps not making the right choices (and probably hurting herself in the process). It just sounds like one of those situations…
Yeah, I think that might be what is going on.
I'm torn between wanting to help her, but also to keep my distance. I don't want to be used or taken advantage of. I'm not sure why she would contact me before anyone else, including her family. We're not even that close.
I still haven't heard back from her about what happened. I wonder if I ever will :S
