Am I wrong to ask you friend to move out?
​
I have a friend, JS, from school. She is very pretty—and by pretty, I mean EXCEPTIONALLY beautiful. She was always the popular girl in school, and her beauty wasn't just physical; she was also great at academics, sports, and extracurriculars like dancing and singing. Everyone wanted to date her. She was on the school swim and basketball teams and always won debates and quizzes. She was the whole package we all dreamed of being, and best of all, she was—and still is—the best friend anyone could ask for.
At first, we weren't very close, but in high school, I became part of her "cool" group, and she welcomed me with open arms. We finished high school last year, and as expected, she got into a good college on a full scholarship. I was also fortunate enough to get into the same college, even though we have different majors.
The thing is, she isn't as popular in college as she used to be in school, though she has still made plenty of friends. Recently, we decided to rent an apartment together starting this past January. That's when she met a guy at a club who happens to be dating a girl in my class. They've been together since they were 13, but somehow JS and this guy, KT, became really close and started hooking up. I found out pretty soon after. He is still with his girlfriend and actively cheating on her, which JS knows.
At first, I felt awkward about this arrangement, but I didn't want to say anything since it was their personal business. Last month, I was invited to a private party thrown by a classmate. JS wanted to tag along, but I didn't want to bring her because KT and his girlfriend, NT, would be there. I didn't want to be put in an awkward or difficult position. Despite me explaining the exact reason I didn't want her there, she persisted.
I ended up bringing her to the party, and as I expected, NT and KT were both there. It was awkward for me, but I tried to stay as far away from the drama as possible. Suddenly, JS started acting strange. She began flirting with random guys at the party and got really drunk. I could sense the tension between her and KT, though KT acted unbothered by everything. After a while, a drunk JS came up to me and said she felt sick and needed to use the bathroom. I accompanied her, but on our way, we ran into KT and NT. I acted like I didn't know KT, but JS greeted him. Feeling nervous, I stepped away. Then I heard JS shouting, so I went back and tried to take her home.
Things quickly got out of hand, and drama erupted between NT and JS. The host asked me to take JS home, which I did, but KT and NT followed us to the parking lot for some reason. KT asked me to clear things up and tell NT that they were just friends and nothing was going on, but I didn't want to lie. I said it was late, everyone was too drunk to have a civil conversation, and it was best if we left but before we could leave, NT slapped JS.
JS was too drunk to fight back properly, but she started pulling NT's hair. Fearing a scene and potential police involvement if building security caught us, I hurried, pulled JS away, pushed her into our cab that had just arrived, and drove home.
The next morning, JS woke up and started arguing with me for not standing up for her. Having had enough, I told her off. I said she needed to rethink her actions because she was clearly at fault: first, for hooking up with a guy in a committed relationship; second, for forcing me to bring her to the party when I had already warned her about this exact situation; and third, for interacting with KT at the party in the first place.
We had a huge fight after that, but I ultimately chose to apologize and make peace. However, that very evening, she invited KT over to our apartment and hooked up with him again. That was the final straw. I told her that what she was doing was completely wrong, I could no longer live with her, and she needed to move out since the lease is in my name.
