I didn’t know who it was. Logan’s dad maybe?
“A freshman named Drea. Turns out he’s been feeding her the lunches I make him. He’s missed things for me saying he was ‘studying’ and he’s really with her. He’s been lying to me for the entire year. Oh, and, he stole from my bank account so that he could pay for things for her on said stolen trip. I have screenshots,” I added. “Who is this?”
“It’s Drea’s father, and yes, could you send me screenshots, please? My daughter’s telling me a whole different story. I didn’t even know she was going to Bali. She said that she was staying on campus to study,” he said.
Drea’s dad? Oh, that’sgood.
“Let me send them over.” I sent him screenshots of what she sent me and her conversation with Logan about stealing from me and leaving me behind.
“I didn’t cancel the plane tickets to be malicious. I canceled it because he didn’t have permission to cancel my ticket and buy her one.” Okay maybe I was a little malicious.
“You paid for and planned this vacation, and your boyfriend and friends simply left you behind, and gave your ticket to someone else?” he asked.
“Yep. I thought they were my friends. Logan and I have been together for close to three years. I spent months planning this. They were all supposed to pay me back and no one did. Drea wasn’t actually invited on the trip originally.” I sent more screenshots.
“I’m so sorry that my daughter did this to you. I didn’t raise her this way. She told me a whole other story, about how you planned the trip but couldn’t go at the last minute and then you got upset that they took her. But now I see that’s untrue,” he said.
“I didn’t know they were taking her and going without me until they were already on their way. Also, Drea is really good at making herself the victim. I'm not trying to insult your daughter, just stating a fact.” I took a screenshot of the charge for the plane ticket and sent it to him as well.
“She gets that from her mother. I’ll handle all of this. Where do I send payment?”
Wow, he didn’t demand that I give her the return ticket back? He didn’t berate me? I sent him the QR code for my payment app.
“Did you breakup with him?” he asked.
“Yep. Drea can have him,” I replied.
I got an alert that he sent me the full amount. Nice.
“Thanks. Is there anything else you need from me? I actually warned everybody about the passport thing and was told I was annoying and a nag.” Not that Drea was part of that conversation, but I’m sure she heard them talking about it.
My phone rang again. I was pretty sure it was Logan’s mom… again.
“I’m very sorry for my daughter’s behavior. I didn’t teach her to steal other people’s alphas or plane tickets. I hope you’re having a good spring break,” he said.
“Thank you.” I ended the call. I tapped on the incoming call just for funsies.
“How dare you reverse the charges? Now he’s left stranded with no plane ticket and no money?” Logan’s mom yelled.
“You always said I’m after his money. He can use that. If you contact me again, I’m going to file a restraining order. I’m saving all of these voicemails. I’ve broken up with your son and none of this is my fault. He stole from me, so why wouldn’t I have the bank reverse it? I will be filing a police report for theft as well. You’re his mother, you can take care of him now. I’m done.” I ended the call.
I probably should’ve filed a police report when Auntie told me to before we left for Nashville, but I could do that now.
Lying on the bed, I went through my email, replying to a few more things. The hotel and airline were refunding me everything. Nice.
I noticed an email from Logan’s advisor. He was asking for my side of the story. Quickly, I answered all his questions and added some additional screenshots, including his mom’s harassment.
According to the lab group chat, Logan and Drea were posting all thesewoe is mephotos, painting me as the villain. Though people were calling them out in the comments for expecting me not to cancel their tickets, all things considered.
Taking a particularly juicy message from his mom, I reduced it to a sound bite that made her sound absolutely insane. I took a picture of myself and used that as the sound and posted it with,When your ex’s mom yells at you because the bank refunded you the money her son stole from you to pay for his sidepiece’s vacation.
Then I posted it.
While I was at it, I went online and filed that police report for Logan’s theft.
I got a text from Ashton.
