This question intrigues me. This isn’t really a story about an ex taking revenge.

*Names will be changed for privacy*

It all started with my sister…

Lets call her “Ashley”. When Ashley was in high school, she had a best friend named “Mel”, they were thick as thieves. In their group they had two other friends, but Ashley and Mel spent the most time together.

So Mel had a friend…”John”, John was such a sweetheart, he was a cowboy and he had already graduated from high school. Mel had a crush on John, not that anyone knew at the time, but she had it bad.

When Mel wasn’t with my sister she was hanging out with John. They were good friends, had been for awhile. John was going into the Police academy at the time. So John had and my sister started hanging out.

And they started dating. At first they kept it a secret from everyone, Mel had no idea for months, and one night Mel made a move, that’s when John told her about Ashley.

Mel was pissed, but she kept her mouth shut, and she started dating Johns best friend.

Things got real real after that.

Mel was jealous, Ashley was clueless, and John had no idea what to do.

Things got really awkward for all of us when Mel came on vacation with our family(already planned). Disney World was most definitely not the hapless place on earth that week.

When we got home, Mel stopped talking to Ashley and John. My sister was devastated. Mel turned their other two friends against her, and now everyone new that she had stolen her non-boyfriend.

The pressure got to my sister and she ended it with John, but it didn’t matter, the damage had been done to their friendship.

They had several classes together. They had lockers right next to each other. They were enemies.

Mel thought she swooped in and stole her future boyfriend, and Ashley thought she made a mistake in breaking up with John because she thought she’d get her best friend back.

Fast forward to John graduating from the police academy.

Mel goes crazy and takes a bat to his truck. His poor sweet truck. She wrote all over it in sharpies.

Did I mention that Mel’s dad is a police officer too?

That’s why josh was coming around her house. To see her dad.

Well Mel got Johns apartment address from her dad, and drove over in the middle of the night to teach him a lesson in how not to date your friends friend.

When John saw the state of his beloved truck, he did the gentlemanly thing and took the hit.

I’m pretty sure he knew who was at fault, but he never said anything to her dad or anyone else.

When Mel returned to school the next week, it was like she had turned over a new leaf.

She tried to make amends with my sister.

My sister wasn’t having any of it.

That poor innocent truck.

I don’t know if he ever got it fixed.

I sure hope he did though.

He let me drive it once.
