Never Fall Asleep in the Club

I was recovering from my busy weekend at my mom's house when I saw a commercial promoting an event at the Ritz. Apparently Big Daddy Kane was performing that night and I had no idea! So, I call my "friend" and tell her how badly I'd like to go. Her response? "I know. I'm going with my ex and his family."

Why didn't she tell me this ahead of time? She knows I'm a big Big Daddy Kane fan. (does that sound funny?) We talk about it for a few minutes but she never quite got around to inviting me. She tells me they're gonna be in VIP and all but never says, "You can come with us, you know."

So I trot down to the Ritz and buy one lone ticket. The guy in charge of the event sold me my ticket and promised to see me later at the show. I mean, I was going alone, I might as well have someone keep me company.

I get there later that night and find that I've left my ticket at home. Luckily, I get in anyway. Some guy who helped me explain that I did indeed purchase a ticket kept me company all night and offered to buy all my drinks. That was cool and very much appreciated. But then the guy who sold me my ticket comes in and tells me I can sit in VIP. No, not the VIP section my friend and her people are sitting in but the best seats in the house. Also very much appreciated but the guy who offered to by my drinks followed me into VIP. I didn't mind.

I have no idea who this guy is but he seems nice but because I'd only gotten 3 hours of sleep the previous night, I was extremely tired. I'd already had one drink when my friend sends over a shot a Hennessey. I take the shot and a few minutes later I'm asleep on a leather couch.

Now here's the kicker. My friend tells me the NEXT MORNING that she came back to VIP because she sent over another shot of Hennessey and the waitress told her I was asleep. When she saw me, the "gentleman" had his coat over me with his hand under the coat. She thought she was interrupting an intimate moment even though she knew I'd just met this guy.
She said maybe my eyes were closed because I was about to "bust a nut". Classy. Out of her own mouth she says, "I didn't know whether this guy had drugged you or what."

She left me there.

Now, I don't know if I overreacted but I ripped into her. How could she leave me after thinking something like that? That never crossed my mind which made me even more furious at myself.
Yes, I was tired. But I have to keep in mind that from now on I cannot depend on people to look out for me - especially her. And she's my best friend.

To top it all off I suddenly realized that this guy was probably touching me in some way while I was sleeping. And she witnessed it and because she felt "awkward", did not bother to wake me up! Concern for my safety should override any awkwardness that you may feel. Did she think I would be mad if she did interrupt just for the sake of making sure I was okay?

Someone told me that if they saw a stranger sleeping in a chair in a club they would make sure they were okay. At this point I'm not even sure if I fell asleep or simply passed out. I honestly don't remember falling asleep - only waking up.

This is very reminiscent of the time she let me drive home drunk without saying a word. Her response to that was, she asked me if I was ok and I said yes. First of all, she never asked me that - and secondly, if I did say I was ok she should've known I was in no condition to provide a clear rational-minded answer.

I explained to my friend - and she didn't seem to understand this, that sometimes she may not have my best interest in mind. She said if she thought someone didn't have her best interest in mind she wouldn't deal with them.

Good point.
