I’ve still been waiting for a response from Wolfdog. He’s still been offline, in Discord and in Steam (likely avoiding me, which makes sense).
\nToday has really been a day of reflecting on events, past and present. Now that I don’t
\nhave Brayden talking to me anymore about this (at least not now), I’m able to think for once.
\nIn the afternoon, Kovo messaged me asking if I was ok. Said “I wish I could say I was”. Told me Wolf was on ’till 11am his time. Huh. He claims Wolf stayed on all night, and
\nwas “sad, very sad”. …Oh. *sighs* But.. didn’t I tell Wolf not to tell Kovo about this? And since he’s probably still pissed with Kovo over this whole thing.. how does he know? Did Wolf tell him anyway?
\nWhen I asked, he clarified what he meant. …And it quite annoyed me. He’s still convinced Wolfdog is ‘a money man’ (and never really cared for me). Which conflicts with what Wolfdog himself told Brayden (and what Brayden told me). Infact I understood why Wolf never stated why he needed the money back. …He really didn’t have to. I still promised to pay it back. This thought comes from how my own mother who has pulled the same
\nthing, and even lied the same way. My own mother.
\nEven when I told Orion about this yesterday, he said “he likely needed it for rent”.
\nSo why is Kovo calling Wolfdog “a money man”? I dunno. I read the same messages he showed and I saw no<\/strong> true evidence Wolf was using me for money.. at all. I don’t get it. He also feels I should had never paid for the game. The fuck. It was a fair transaction! Said the fact I did it “made you look bad”. ..HOW?! Well, one thing he’s definitely right about: I’m not “seeing the big picture”.
\nJust don’t understand how a fair transaction causes Wolf to be labeled as someone who only cares for the money. That’s not fair. There’s very good reasons why he needed it. Even my mother sometimes has surprise bills that she needs money from me to take care of
\nit (though she’s not doing that as much).
\n–
\nI honestly want to believe Brayden here.. for my health. Plus I’m pretty sure he’d get really pissed at me for not giving Wolf the money back for the game.<\/p>\n

And that’s all I need to say. Hopefully Wolf responds soon to my message.
\nBut I will say this: I’m going to give him a few days. If he doesn’t respond by then, I’m dropping it myself (and hoping Brayden or any other of Wolf’s friends don’t come after me). That’s all I can do.
\nThough I do believe Brayden would want myself and Wolf to come face to face (we agreed with this). However this time I have nothing I need to fear. I have told Wolf to keep
\nthe $200, that friendship is more important. The fact he doesn’t want to acknowledge
\nit, makes this look bad on him. Not me. …Of course I’m the one that brought this damn thing up, but because I was pissed. Brayden straightened me up and had me see what’s more important.<\/p>\n

EDIT: So Wolf did message me, but not in any way that I expected. He never went over the long message I sent him explaining I fucked up. He acted like, everything’s perfectly fine between us as friends. And I’m really happy about that. I’m happy we can move on from this and our friendship didn’t get destroyed by childish stupidity.
\nIn other words, I really had nothing to worry about. He also (indirectly) explained why he was offline for so long. I no longer believe it was to avoid me. He has been traveling
\nfrom Oregon to his home state of Utah in order to pick up a close friend of his who will be one of his new roommates.
\nThough it’s possible he hasn’t had enough time to go over my entire message and respond to it. But rather than doing so, he’s defaulted to just talking to me (for me to know everything’s OK between us now, and there’s no hard feelings). Again I’m glad. Very
\nglad.
\nTwo things I dunno though. 1.<\/strong> Did he actually tell Brayden about this? The only thing I’m worried about is him being pissed at me for not going to him about this, and he’s likely not going to have my back if something major happens down the line (and I’m defending someone like DJ).
\n2.<\/strong> If this is going to change Kovo’s mind, to the point he wants to apologize to Wolf. A really peculiar thing happened last night. He asked me “Do you want me to get the Minecraft for you”? I said “I still have the key”. He was confused, assuming Wolfdog refunded it and then wanted payment. ..Wait. So this<\/strong><\/em> is why you called him a ‘money man’? Dude, you are so misinformed! How in the flying fuck did you ever come up with this assumption? I<\/em> don’t remember ever<\/span> telling you that!
\n…But, this is actually my fault, of the way I phrased it. It made him assume this. Yet he also never asked if this means Wolf took the game away and then wanted payment. So in a way, we both messed up. He mis-assumed, and I mis-explained. But it’s nothing big. I’m just hoping he’ll apologize to Wolf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
