Charles (Crystel Dreams) and my friends drove to Las Vegas to drop Charles off at the airport to go to North Dakota since his Mother and siblings live there. He is visiting them for three weeks. Everything was well, a car with air and enough gas to get us there.
Well Charles Mother was the one who provided the gas money. She told Charles that she would send him between 60 to 80 dollars for gas money. She then tells him that she is sending only 50 dollars. 50 dollars is NOT enough money to go from California to Nevada and back.

We dropped off Charles at the airport and went to a gas station after to put gas in. Well I only had about 20 dollars left and gave it to my friends and he said "It's best to fill it up now". I told him that was all I had and that Charles mom only gave him 50 dollars. (We used 45 of it to fill up when we left). That was LITERALLY all we had. Mikey (one of the friends) had only 3 dollars and Bash (the other friend) had nothing because a finance company took 300 dollars from his account and that was basically all his money. So we got as much change as we could find and the gas meter went a little under half way. NOT enough to get us into our hometown.

I texted Charles mother letting her know that we could get stranded due to her not sending enough money. She replied with a lie "I told Charles 60 but never 80." UM no Charles wouldn't have told me that if she didn't say it, but she can NEVER admit that she's wrong.

I used my money on food and my mom gave me a small amount because she was broke and only gets paid once a month, she hasn't gotten paid since the 19th of last month. But Charles mom ASSURED us that 50 was enough gas money.

All my ice water bottles melted and the water was HOT, we couldn't have the AC on because we needed to preserve it for gas, and the weather was 105 degrees. And nothing to eat.
I got a huge headache from the heat and felt like I was going to have a stroke from dehydration.

Charles calls me this morning and I ask him about it. He told me that his mom said "I only gave you enough gas money to get you there, not to get them back." And Charles said "Okay, whatever."
I'm SO upset at her response to that... like she doesn't care that we were so close to getting stranded. We barely made it to a gas station 45 minutes away from our hometown (my AWESOME mom came to rescue with gas money and bought food for the friends).

It hurts my feelings deeply that she would say that. And since Charles has been there, he's had to clean because everything is dirty, that his brother doesn't do anything to really help.. I'm wishing he never went but his mom sweet talked him to go up there.. probably just wants him to do things for her.

I don't understand why she doesn't like me.. I really don't. I've tried to like her and make her like me but it's not working..
