life throws you curve balls

So an old mentor of mine randomly emails me and asks if I'm still good friends with a certain best friend of mine who shall remain nameless. So I emailed her and was like "We're unfortunately not and I don't know why which sucks but what can you do. What's up?" So then a few minutes later I see she's online so I im her and she was like "Oh hey I just sent u another email". So in the email she explained that one of her RDs who's a "good guy" is looking into my grad program as his #1 choice and she wanted to know if I could let him crash and my place and show him around. Based on what she shared I realized this RD was the one who I hate b/c he sexually assaulted the certain best friend who shall remain nameless. Of course. So I tell her "I would not be comfortable with that I'm sorry"so she starts skirting around things then finally says "to be honest that's why I asked about _____(insert name of friend who shall remain nameless)". So I played dumb to get her to elaborate and was like "I don't understand your relation" and she says "It's a long story" and I said "I know it". So she was like "I can't talk about it on im, call me"....of course so there's no proof. So I call her and find out that this pile of dirt RD has her fooled into believing that he and my friend hooked up and since my friend had a boyfriend it got really murky and stories got told and people took sides after only hearing 1 side of the story so he didn't think I liked him very much or would be receptive to her request. What a manipulative lieing scumbag. So she told him she didn't think I'd be like that and didn't think I was super close with that person anymore anyways so she'd ask. So I was like "Whether I was or wasn't friends with them wouldn't change my feelings about that RD. I'm not comfortable with it. That's all I'm going to say. He can contact my coordinator or her GA to organize a formal visit like any other prospective student"... and I'll make sure he never gets in though of course I didn't say that.

SERIOUSLY?!

So I obviously emailed the friend, not expecting a response, just wanting them to know...

and they responded and want to fix things between us.

and I started crying.

and I really can't concentrate, it's 11pm, I have 3 papers and 2 chapters due by tomorrow. Oh life.
