Y'know what's annoying? When people make up excuses when they're apologizing.
So I'm in stage crew for the school production, right? One of the managers who's also a student, let's call him D, is looking at his script while complaining about it being messed up. He was saying stuff like "Oh c'mon, M," because M (one of my friends) had had the script before him and messed it up or something. Not sure, but either way D was complaining about him.116Please respect copyright.PENANACwDYViTR6y
So I say, "Yeah, M. C'mon," and I meant it as a joke because that's just the nature of our friendship, right? M knew it was a joke, and so did everyone else. Yeah well I'm facing away from D, so I'm completely caught of guard when my leg is like kicked in the back. I essentially crumple and almost fall over, but I don't, and thank god for that because I'm still in a sling from surgery, so there was a chance that I could have injured myself even more. Anyway, I turn around and see that D is halfway out of his chair in an obvious position to assume he was the one who kicked me.116Please respect copyright.PENANAXBuAYUuQYN
At this point I'm just really shaken up and scared, but D starts yelling at me and saying that just because he treats M like that doesn't mean I can even if we're friends. I'm not sure D got the message that I was joking but oh well.116Please respect copyright.PENANAaBipFHkzSI
There were about five other people in the room, and they all saw what happened. One of them is a friend, let's call her E. Now I'm not really sure if I still want to be friends with her because she's kind of very toxic and not friend material. She's kind of a self righteous person, so she takes it upon herself to tell my group's manager to talk to D about what happened. And sure I appreciate it and all, but I really didn't need her to do that because it just made the whole situation worse.
My friend on the other side of the stage ended up coming over during one of our breaks, and someone brought up the whole situation. I didn't care that another one of my friends knew because it was going to be brought up in conversation at some point in time anyway.
Thank god I had other friends though because they actually checked in on me and made sure I was alright. Things between me and M are fine; he knew it was a joke and I apologized. This all happened yesterday.
I got over it last night and was ready to move on with life, but today, D asked if he could talk to me and he apologized. I honestly don't know if he really believes himself, but he said he tripped getting out of the chair and accidentally kicked my leg in. I don't know whether or not I should believe him, because the way he acted after that made it seem that it was completely intentional.116Please respect copyright.PENANASgMoQURy8y
I got a text a few hours ago from my manager saying that what happened yesterday between D and me should have stayed between us. I guess word spread, which is partially my fault. I don't really think I feel sorry though because I feel like I had a valid excuse to tell my friends since I was literally crying, but I'm obviously going to play the victim so I don't know how reliable I am as a source.
I guess I just don't like the idea of being scolded for telling people about something that happened to me? I don't know. Now I feel horrible and like I'm about to cry all over again and I just hate it. I really don't like the fact that I don't know if D is telling the truth or not, because what if I'm blaming him for something that was accidental? What if I made unnecessary drama for everyone?
I'm really just tired and sleep deprived, but I have too much to do with too little time with one less arm that'll function properly. Life sucks so much right now.
