Betrayed - Part 4

The saga continues! I went to work this afternoon and immediately things began to happen between Mo-Mo and myself. Since Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) was off work today, I sent him an email. This is what was said:

Camlaw said:
Mo-Mo is not speaking to me today. I have said 2 things to her and she has been short and distant with me. I guess she is mad. Which she has a right to be, to a point. What a mess!

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) responded:
it'll cool down and settle back into the familiar soon enough......just dont let it get to ya just remember that she asked you to keep silent when she knew and you knew it wasn't right to....so the silent treatment will fade

Camlaw responded:
I know...but I hate being the bad guy in all of this. I didn't steal. I did not brag to others about it. My only fault was agreeing to something I shouldn't have and then breaking my word. And I am kind of mad that I am being treated such a way. It is not like I blabbed Ghetto Queen's personal business, just what she did to US. Anyway, 3 hours & counting...

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) responded:
yup getting outta there in 3 hours or so

Camlaw responded:
No...Mo-Mo is....I am here til 8:30....I am you or Fashion Show or whoever the hell today.

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) responded:
oh yeah that be Fashion Show....she traded with you then went out on fmla

I suddenly received an instant message from Mo-Mo. I copied the message we shared back and forth and sent it in an email to Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend).

Camlaw responded:
Mo-Mo(12:22:50): It has come to my attention that you are still upset about the Christmas situation I spoke with Old Lady Red yesterday and she told me that you told her about it and not knowing who else you'd told I went ahead and let her that people knew which she knew b4 I told her and she said if you want to talk to her you can call her
Mo-Mo(12:22:58): so if you want her # I can give it to you
Camlaw (12:23:53): No...I told several people and I agonized over it for days....And my only regret is that I told you I wouldn't say anything then broke my word.
Mo-Mo(12:28:31): all I can say is that I have learned to keep things to myself and I had to learn the hard way
Camlaw (12:30:02): Well, my thing is I did not tell her personal business.
Camlaw (12:31:22): I told about something that was done to ME...to US....to our crew. And she bragged to others about it. And she STOLE from us Mo-Mo. And keeping that quiet was not right. It allowed her to continue to get away with it and make us fools in the process.
Camlaw (12:32:21): Why protect her? What kind of friend is she to do something like that to people that considered her friends and trusted her? And what does that say about us that we continue to cover it up.
Mo-Mo(12:32:57): I'm not trying to cover it up I'm trying to keep confusion away
Mo-Mo(12:33:02): and learn from my mistake
Mo-Mo(12:33:09): don't do it again
Mo-Mo(12:33:31): thats going to make people not want to participate in anything
Mo-Mo(12:34:00): we already have alot of animosity throughout this crew
Camlaw (12:36:46): But if that happened to you...if you were taken advantage of, and people you trusted knew about it and kept it from you, how would you be able to trust those people again?
Camlaw (12:39:36): And as for the people's reactions, NONE of them were surprised. They were not happy about it, but none of them had a hard time believing it. They never said that they would not participate again. But many did say that she should not be trusted again. And a couple of people even said that something similar to this happened with her at the <EDIT>....

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) responded:
sad......just sad......Mo-Mo jus mad cause you makin her deal with what she should have faced on her own...a worthless friend

Camlaw responded:
Mo-Mo(12:48:49): believe me i know how it feels to be taken advantage of and all you can do is learn from your mistake-- and i'm not saying that you are wrong to be upset with her or upset about the whole situation i'm just going to leave it alone ya'll can do what you want to do about the situation from here on out i am out of it and i will from now on keep my mouth closed and anything that i find out i will keep it to myself there is no use in going back and forth about it and like i said if you want her # she told me to give it to you because she isn't going to argue about it up here and take a chance of losing her job everytime i share information it comes back to bite me in the butt when we discussed this you said you would not say anything to anyone and you immediately told joe who inturn told <EDIT> and then you just started to tell everyone else and who does it look like started all the trouble-- me because i went and got the information told you because you wanted to know and look what has happened they probably think i was in cahoots with her but i can assure you when i collect money i keep all of the receipts from what i spent no one can ever accuse me of anything
Camlaw (12:57:21): Nope....no one blames you or me even though we feel the most guilty about it. I mean look, I collected the money. I never questioned the amount of the gift cards. And what proof is there that I did not plan or take it myself? That was painfully brought to my attention yesterday. And that devestated me.
Camlaw (13:15:34): Hell, you were not even here! And I TRULY apologize for breaking my word. And don't ever tell me anything else since I have proven that I cannot be trusted. And as for "if you want her # she told me to give it to to because she isn't not going to argue about it up here and take a chance of losing her job" if you are talking about Ghetto Queen, I will gladly talk to her. But there is nothing she can say that will make what she did right. I am very hurt & very angry over this ordeal. I hate the fact that I feel guilty and ashamed over it. Like I said, I shouldn't have broken my word to you, but I refuse to be made the bad guy in all of this. I didn't start this mess. You didn't start this mess. She did when she took that money and then bragged about it.
Camlaw (13:18:34): It's over now...we can't change it. Again I apologize for breaking my word to you. It was never my intention to put you in the middle nor put a strain on our friendship. I really consider you my friend and it bothers me that this could change that.

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) responded:
It was never my intention for it to get to Hoochie Mama either.....this whole thing should be resting heavily on Ghetto Queen's shoulders and not ours.

I apologize to the both of you for being the blabber mouth that I have proven to be. I never meant to put anyone in a difficult position. I too have learned numerous lessons here as well. If I had kept my mouth shut, the whole thing would have stopped at me, so I apologize.

Now, shit happens so lets stop the silent treatment and move past this.

Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend)

Towards the end of Mo-Mo's shift, things began to change a little between us. Believe it or not it took the craziness of work to get her to speak to me again like she usually does. I hope she believed what I told her and realizes that what I did was not in any way meant to hurt her. But we are spending so much time on who, what, where, how the information got out, that we are not even concentrating on the information itself. That is what should be the real issue.

Ghetto Queen stole, lied and bragged about it to others. She used and abused the trust our work crew gave her. That's the issue. PERIOD!
