When does the nightmare end?
It's been almost three weeks since we moved out of the old apartment, and we still haven't cancelled the cable service. They won't let us cancel until we pay the outstanding balance. Because I was a naive fool, I had signed up for all the bills in my name. It never occurred to me that my roommates, a boyfriend and a good friend, would be so willing to blithely fuck me over.
It was a good month, a gift from the gods, if both of them managed to pay the rent on time. I don't think there was ever a month when they both paid their share of the bills. But my friend somehow had enough money to buy a car. And my boyfriend had enough money to buy an XBox 360. But they never had enough money to contribute to keeping a roof over our heads.
Several months ago, I declared the electricity and appliance rental to be my friend's responsibility, and the cable bill to be my boyfriend's responsibility. And now I've moved out and owe the electric company more than $400, the rental company almost $200, and the cable company $200 as well. My boyfriend said he would pay the cable bill last week.
This morning he says he can't pay it until the end of the month when he gets paid.
When rent is due. Yeah fucking right.
I just want to die. No, I don't. I take it back. I want them to die. After taking out small life insurance policies with me as the beneficiary. Just enough to pay what they owe me: the bill money plus $1500+ unpaid rent.
The one who was my friend is no longer my friend. I'm wondering if maybe the boyfriend should no longer be that, either.
