The other night, myself and another friend spent the night at a friend's house. We spent the evening smoking weed and drinking beers, and eventually we all went to pass out. I woke up the next morning and left with my other friend. About an hour later I get a call from the friend who's house I stayed at claiming his mother's purse looked rifled through and there was about $25 missing.
I have stolen minor things from friends in the past, and I have paid the price for it. I also always fessed up to what I did and took my punishment. This time, I didn't steal anything, but I really can't blame everyone for pointing the finger at me.
Now I am back to being the lowly thief whom everyone hates and doesn't want to hang out with. Just when I was getting my shit together, making amends, and had truly learned that stealing from your friends is one of the worst things you can do, I get hit with this.
Obviously, if I didn't have a past of being a thief, I wouldn't have been accused so immediately, but since I do, there was no investigation, no nothing, just a reasonable assumption that I did it, and now everyone hates me.
What the hell do I do now? Move away? Lay low until this dies down (no one will forget this, and no one believes me)?
I don't know what happened that night, but I have some ideas that involve foul play. That night was perfect for $25 to be missing from his mom's purse, I was spending the night! I could easily be pinned. The person who's house it was does not like me, and has always had a bit of a beef with me. I have a theory that he actually stole from his own mother to frame me, but this theory just seems preposterous to anyone who thinks I did it (aka: everyone).
I lost all my friends' respect in one fell swoop. My reputation is ruined. Now I am all alone, again.
