I posted about a night out on Friday, which ended in me leaving at about midnight so I could ride home for free on the metro instead of staying and having to pay for a taxi later on.
After recovering we went to The Wal's brother's for a BBQ (me, Wal, Fos, Wal's bird and Wal's younger brother) Drank lots of Thai beer (it was only 5%, not like the minimum 8% stuff over there but it tasted about the same) and had a laugh.
Wal enjoys inflicting pain on his friends and decided to try and get me to submit to some wrist lock thingy which really hurt. After fighting for about five minutes I gave up, and then his younger brother Sean wanted to see if he could pick me up. Being stupid, I let him and soon I was spinning around. Instead of dropping me on the sofa nice and safely, only my upper torso hit the nice padded cushions, part of my back hit the hard edge and there was a big crack.
Everyone thought they'd snapped my spine but it was just the wheel on the sofa. Wal's brother then tried to pick up the Fos man and ended up falling through a table (basically put his head through it) He's only 16 bless him, and he was totally mortal; kept threatening people during the taxi ride home.
In between fighting off The Wal Brothers and talking to a Thai girl on the phone I started getting texts off little Gemma, asking if I could keep a secret. Seems Katie, the lovely, curvy blonde did something she shouldn't have in an alleyway with a lad from work who was cracking onto her all night. When I say she's lovely, I really mean it, she's so friendly and will talk to anyone, which is a problem in town when every lad and his dad comes up to try and work the magic. I was keeping an eye on her, pulling her away from large groups of lads and wanted to make sure she got home alright in a taxi. Of course that didn't happen when they disappeared to go clubbing and I left early.
I thought she'd be alright as there were still a few lasses out, but I was a little concerned because everyone else out was a lad who wanted to crack onto her.
If it did indeed happen then I feel a little responsible. Aye, I wasn't the one doing her against a wall, but if I'd stayed out I feel I could've continued keeping an eye on her as she got a bit more drunk. She's trusting and naive but I didn't think she'd cheat on her boyfriend. Even if I'd just said goodbye before they went clubbing I could've told her to stick with Gemma all night, or asked Gemma to keep an eye on her.
Now I don't know what to say to her on Monday morning, do I act like I don't know? Do I ask if she's alright? If I know her I'm sure she's feeling mighty guilty herself, I don't want to rub it in but I also want to make sure she's OK. I don't think she'll get any sympathy from Gemma...
Of course it could all be a lie, the guy who said he did it could've just been bragging to his mates, or someone got the wrong end of the stick. Like I said I never thought she'd cheat on her boyfriend, especially since they've been together for over two years.
I need some advice people, I'm her friend and I'm meant to be there for her, not pass judgement.
Oh, and to lighten the mood a bit, Wal and Sean dropped me on the grass in the garden and literally kicked my ass. And I've got bruises and marks on my arms. Still, I won't have the headache Sean will after putting his head through a small table.

I know what you mean by being the sensible one. That's normally me in my groups of friends.
However, you see it as a job. A responsibility. It's not up to you to keep them safe. Let them make their mistakes once in a while or they'll never learn.

You do realise, of course, that you are dealing with her guilt?
Get new friends ;)
Like I said my opinon. Each to their own.... (you did ask though)

I agree with Goatboy. I don't see that it was up to you to look out for her. It's not like you left her to walk home alone and she got attacked or anything. This was her choice, drunken or not.
When I went on holiday with my mates and they was all off shagging anything that moved I was tempted to ask them if they was sure they wanted to go back with that bloke. I never though because as I see it, they are all capable of making up their own minds, and if they was too drunk to know what they was doing, I'm sure when they got back to the room they would collapse in a deep slumber.
So, yeh. MoJoJoJo, don't feel guilty.

One of the girls, eh? I doubt it, since I've only known them a few months. It wasn't so much the having sex that worried me, it was more the fact that she's got a boyfriend (whom I've met and probably hates me for talking to his bird all the time)
Girls getting nailed in Newcastle city centre isn't anything new, but when a friend cheats on her boyfriend and feels terrible the next day, I want to help.
And Rosalind, I'm not running around after her with a cushion in case she falls, I keep an eye on all my friends when we're out because, believe it or not, I'm the sensible one in all my groups of mates. I'm the one who has to split up fights, tell people to calm down, make sure people get in a taxi alright and make them laugh all night. It's not an easy job.

I went out with some girls from work on Friday night, and for some reason, totally unlike me, I seemed to stay fairly sober no matter what I drunk.
There was one girl with us who was very tipsy and she just stepped out into a busy road whilst cars were coming round the corner not caring what was in their way.
I quickly grabbed her and pulled her back off the road. Knowing that I could, I would have felt guilty if I hadn't prevented a potentially bad accident.
However, if I wasn't there, I would have said it was an unfortunate event.
I don't see how it could be your fault at all if you weren't there.

I'm going to go out of my way to look for the best looking girl in my town lol....just to be turned down more than likely, but still, it's worth the try.
Edit: Later everyone, I'm off for a while in the boring rain. *sigh*

The night in question I was watching the Wedding Crashers. I was with a girl though. I didn't force VK Ice into her mouth and do her over a bin, mind.
