As the title may suggest, I've really no idea why i'm posting this hear, I suppose i'd just like to know what others would've done in this situation. This post may get a tad lengthy, read at your own risk.
So, sitting in one of my In-between Finals study halls today, I heard the girl sitting ahead of me, one of my closest friends who we'll just call Sarah, was talking to another girl, let's call her Amanda, about how fun their sleepover was last weekend, especially since a boy, who we'll call Bob, came over. Amanda mentions it was really funny when Bob kept trying to wake Sarah up to get her to walk home with him, and how he was totally flirting with her.
Normally I don't pay much attention to their friends conversations, but I realize Bob is in a relationship with another close friend of mine, who we'll call Emily. I speak up and say I really should mention to Emily that Bob was doing said things with Sarah. Sarah immediately says that Amanda was exaggerating and if I tell Emily she'll go batshit and not let Bob hang out with her and Amanda anymore. I say I should probably tell her anyway, after all i've known Emily for the better part of 2 years and she wouldn't do that. Sarah and Amanda say if I say anything they'll refuse to speak to me.
Needless to say, I ended up telling Emily, needless to say, she got angry and yelled at Bob, and Bob is afraid to hang out with Sarah or Amanda again in case Emily gets really mad. And needless to say, outside of calling me a gigantic asshole, Amanda and Emily haven't talked to me for the better part of two days.
I guess my question is, do you think I did the right thing? After all, Sarah is a hardcore christian so I doubt anything would've happened had she gone home with Bob, and if I hadn't told Emily she would've never known and presumably nothing would've happened.
So, my fellow Escapists, what do you think?
EDIT: In a bit of retrospect, I feel like I should mention that "Emily" is a very close friend of mine, possibly the closest thing I have to a little sister, and I'm very protective of her. Whether that influences opinions or not, i'm not sure.
