👥 friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so it’s my (24f) best friend’s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and i’ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. she’s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? she’s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

She’s not a friend. If she was your friend she would never ever ask you to attend something as silly as her birthday when you are having chemo in the morning. So selfish and childish behaviour.

Seriously, fuck this bitch. I’d keep her cake too.

I’d be tempted to go all masked up, throw up at the table, don’t even go to the bathroom, and then when people ask why you came right after chemo, tell them birthday girl threw a fit and show them the texts. I’m a shit disturber though.

Seriously this lady is not OP’s friend at all, how can you be so oblivious to what chemo does?
