You may have guessed from the title of this installment that the special anual event I referred to is, of course, the Eurovision Song Contest. I am an absolutely massive fan and before the 2009 contest I had had simply watched it either alone or with my family but now I wanted to make it a proper party. All was looking good for Eurovision night, people had dropped out but there was still a good collection of my friends going. The Final was on the 16th and I was fully prepared, I was not, however, prepared for May 15th. Dima had made a comment about hating me, another joke with disasterous effects. In response to this I told him not to bother coming if he didn't like me which didn't seem to bother him at all - much to my annoyance. So I had started the day losing one of my best friends and the one guy I cared more about than anyone in the world. Great. Then while waiting for a lift from Milica she tells me that she & Alec have decided to split up which made me feel upset for them as they had been together a very long time, she assured me that both of them would attend my EuroParty and that it wouldn't be "awkward". After discussing what would happen Eurovision night with Milica and another girl who was invited (who had now decided to drop out to) I texted Dima telling him he was still welcome as he is still a friend.
Eurovision was amazing! Russia had staged the best ever contest and the party went rather well too as everyone had a great time too, with the exception of Alec & Milica who coursed through the night with little or no interaction whatsoever. The party had put an end to my long spell of unpopularity and I started to build back lost or damaged relationships. Things stayed awkward between Alec & Milica for a while then the inevitable happened - people began taking sides. There were no arguments so there were never any real tensions people just tended to sympathise more with one than the other solely dependent on how close they were as friends before this. I tried my absolute best to remain close friends with both of them but Milica was beginning to use the break-up as some form of attention seeking skill. She had made out, quite publicly that Alec was desperate, verging on being a stalker and I couldn't let that happen. I told Alec what Milica had said with the promise that he would not take this information to her - which he did. Milica told him, and others, that I was a two-faced liar which instantly ended our friendship. This made me closer with Alec and, by proxy, with Dima as those two were now extremely close friends.
Unfortunately Alec would battle with these issues for a while but he confided in me to a point which made us closer and we spent more time together than ever before which would mean spending more time now with Dima too. By this point I had realised that my feelings for Dima had all but disappeared as there were so many ups and downs in such a short space of time that it was possible that I had just broken ties with him emotionally. We were friends again and the three of us did more together though I still played more of a 'third wheel' kind of role but I was happy just to have two great friends.
Another happy ending, though as you no have doubt guessed 'ending' is not the right word. But it'll do for now ;)
Thanks for reading.
