On July 23rd, a mutual friend (who I'll name "W") spoke with me about Q telling others about how I mistreated her. I had no clue about what she could've possibly been talking about, but W didn't want to disclose what was said in confidence to Q's private group of friends. I assumed that it was about Q's disagreement with how I felt about the situation. On July 23rd, a mutual friend (who I'll name "W") spoke with me about Q telling others about how I mistreated her.

A little over a week later, W and I had a conversation about music. I shared what I had made and what I was working on, about how cathartic it was. W had asked whether any of my friends had told me what Q was speaking about. No one had at that point, but it wasn't something I wanted to get involved in. M vented to me a bit about how it was a conflicting situation for her and that she was looking to confront Q about it. I told her not to defend me. I still had no clue about what A was talking about, but I knew there wasn't anything critical that she could've been speaking about.

W cut to the chase and told me that Q was accusing me of sexual abuse. W cut to the chase and told me that Q was accusing me of sexual abuse.
At first I was incredibly confused, where was this coming from? Her and I had our "encounters", but nothing that could've been even slightly malicious. I asked some questions to explain what exactly was being said, but ultimately none of it was based in reality. M went to go do something for about an hour, which was more than enough time for the grief to settle in. At first I was incredibly confused, where was this coming from?

I was disgusted, grieved, confused. I was at a loss how she had conjured this idea, let alone the fact that she was spreading this to friends and those who already had a bad history with me. The betrayal was turned up to 11. W had recounted some other miscellaneous details about what Q had been up to during the time. Not too long after, I tried to sleep.
