At the moment I'm having a pretty stressful time. I've been put in for 14 GCSEs, have too much work, had to talk to my headmistress yesterday and have felt ill all week. To ight was my friends birthday party and I though I could go and have a good time, everything would be great.
This morning, I woke up to my period then had a fever and had to go back to bed. Later my outfit for the party broke and my mum spent 40 minutes stitching it back together for me. I turned up, skipping going to my bestfriends house toget ready because I though I didn't have time, only to find my invite had the wrong time on it and I could have gone to her for half an hour.
Before the party properly started, my friend effy told me that she fancied this guy james. Who I also fancy and have been flirting with for months (and I was pretty sure he liked me too). She spent the whole night, plastered, me and my friend ang looking after her, calling for him. If we ever left her for a moment she would run to find him and I spent at least half an hour repeating why she couldn't go find him, as every time she did she ended up upset.
James's best friend fancys effy and so he told her that he could do anything with her for this reason. He also said it was because they were both really drunk. I spent the whole night looking after effy and trying to keep her away from James so she wouldn't get too hurt when she wasn't sober. I also spent the night looking after other people who were wasted and generally being everyones mother.
Another thing that made it worse was that my friend katie also fancies James, but they're like best friends and although a lovely person she doesn't have much on effy when it comes to looks. She also spent a lot of the night crying about how effy was better for him etc etc.
At the end of the night, he tells me he does kind of like her and will probably ask her out on Monday. He just didn't want to start up anything while they were both drunk. This time I had resorted to pretty large measure to help him get away from her but she found us while looking for him again. After once again telling her that she needed to wait till she was sober to talk to him, I almost broke down into tears about how I was fed up of picking up her pieces the whole night each and every time she went after him.
Now I'm at home just feeling pissed off. I just wanted a nice night out but had to look after at least 4 drunks, sort out a cut, talk to a person about his cheating girlfriend and look after one of my bestfriends after she continuously went after the guy I liked. So yeah I had a great time...
I'm so sorry that his has happened and that your night was ruined. It just shows you how good a friend you are though. Looking after everyone like that and making sure they're all OK is a big thing to do and you should try and be proud of yourself for doing it. Unfortunately your friends probably won't thank you for what you did because they won't remember or didn't notice you being their mother but take pride from knowing that you kept them safe and stopped them getting too hurt.
As for the James thing, my advice would be to wait until Monday when everyone has sobered up and stopped saying stupid things they don't mean and see where it goes from there. People say stuff they don't mean at parties so try not to take much notice of it if you can. Don't make a move on James just because you think someone else is. It's important to wait until you're both ready otherwise things won't work out properly.
Good luck.

Thing is though, an awful lot of my time does seem to be taking care of my friends and sometimes I just wish they would take care of me. I don't want to sound bitchy or needy I just want something in return.
Anyway, Effy sent me a text this morning apologising. Which is fine, except she woke me up and 8 and I couldn't get back to sleep, which has put me in a worse mood with her now.
As for James, I'm not about to start anything. I understand that people say things they don't mean when they're drunk but I wouldn't anyway, not now that I know how much Effy and Katie like him.
Coolies. I'm glad you're kinda ok about it all. I know what you mean though. I was always the one at parties who didn't drink as much and then had to look after everyone and because they never really remember you looking after them all night, it feels really one-sided. I had to break a door down once to get someone out of a bathroom they had locked themselves in and then passed out; and then had to watch them all night as they slept so they didn't choke on vomit in their sleep. Anyway, it's good that she apologised, even if it did wake you up.

Thank you for that. I made her promise not to do it again. Hopefully she'll keep it.
Annoying thing is all of my friends are gossiping about it and talking about how they don't understand what the big deal is because they both like each other etc. None of them know about me, which just makes it stressful to listen to. Anyway, I have masses of coursework to do
Urgh. Now they're going out. With my help. James asked me to help him out so I spent a lot of today bolstering his confidence so that he would ask out Effy. She's extremely happy. Katie is rather upset. I'm just blurgh.
