A Circle of Friends and A Web of Lies
I find myself in a very complicated situation, and I have absolutely no idea how to deal with it. Moreover, because of the nature of this situation (which will follow) I have no with whom I can talk about it. And so, I turn to the TFP for advice.
The Cast of Characters:
Sabrina Fair: Yours truly.
Carrie: Sabrina's next-door-neighbor and closest friend
Sam: a friend of Sabrina's and Carrie's, male.
Blair: a friend of Sabrina and Carrie's.
Matt: Sabrina and Carrie's other neighbor
The Plot:
A few months ago, my friend Carrie told me that her and my friend Sam messed around. Over the course of a few weeks, I was privy to the details of their fooling around--starting with some making out and progressing to bigger and better things. While they never had sex, it was an "everything but" situation that quickly dissolved when he started dating someone else.
A few minutes ago, I get a series of texts from Sam asking me if Carrie has ever told me anything to this effect. He explained that he had heard something from Blair, and that Matt had said something similar to his little sister. I told him he should talk directly to Matt or Blair, and that I didn't want to get myself in the middle of the situation. He understood, but reiterated that nothing ever happened between the two of them.
Now, it doesn't matter to me whether or not they messed around. I really don't care. However--I'm forced to face the fact that one of my friends is lying. Moreover, I'm not really sure here. This is complicated, of course, by my living situation. If Carrie made this up, then there are bigger issues at hand than whether or not she and Sam messed around. And I so don't want to be in the middle of this, but I feel like I am whether I want to be or not. And so, I put this problem out there. Is there a course of action I should take, or should I wait this out? Is it OK not knowing the truth, or should I seek it? Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.
Love,
Sabrina

Oh, and I should put it out there that these are all pseudonyms. Believe me, I'm not an air-your-dirty-laundry-in-public kind of gal. I'm just an air-your-dirty-laundry-in-a-semi-anonymous-fashion kind of gal.
