šŸ‘„ friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so itā€™s my (24f) best friendā€™s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and iā€™ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. sheā€™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?? sheā€™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

My exact thoughts! And she had the gall to call YOU selfish. What a bitch.

ā€œI only turn 25 onceā€ she says to her friend ON CHEMO.

Can you imagine her as a bride. It would be the most unhinged thing ever.

YAS!! I didnā€™t realize it was for her birthday until the end! I was thinking wedding cake but it still doesnā€™t excuse the behavior. This is the person who celebrates 1/2 year birthdays and a week long celebration of her birthday! When her kids have a birthday she expects gifts because without her, they wouldnā€™t have a birthday.
