AITA for calling the cops? Ill call her O. O had an ex that ill call X. O and X were on/off for yrs. One night X was arrested for dom assualt. So now a no-contact order. 

X continued to harass O for weeks by text after that. All the while claiming he didn't blame O for getting him arrested. But sumtimes would yell over the phone and threaten her.

Being her friends, we tried to be there for O. But as her friends, we also tried to respect her feelings. We knew that SHE knew she was in an abusive relationship but it was up to her to end it for good.

After awhile, X started physically showing up to where she was at to "just talk". O almost always gave in. O would tell us how the "talks" were just him begging. O would always make sure to emphasize that she didn't fear X.

One night, we were having a bonfire and drinks when X pulled in. O jumped in his car for a "talk" in the driveway. As X pulled off and drove away O came back crying.

X was acting crazy again and made threats. O downplayed it with her usual excuses for X. At this point, we already knew we were shitty friends for allowing this to go on in the first place. 

About an hour, the party had mostly broken up and it was just O, me and 2 others. X pulled up and O got in as usual. Then, O gets out of the car angrily yelling at X.

As it intensified, me and the two other 2 all agreed we should call 911.

I have never called 911 before so we were shocked when two cops came running up out of nowhere and handcuffed both of them. 

By this point, other friends came outside. O was still in handcuffs so I told the cops I called bc of X but they were both in violation and both arrested. O hurled insults at me as they took her away.

O suffered some serious consequences. The cops found some illegal pill or something so charged her for drugs too. O lost a really good job. And had kids at home to support. 

I saw O the next day and she said sorry and i did the right thing but i never saw her again.

I reached out a few weeks ago with a new phone number. When she asked who I was I told her and didn't get a response. I sent a few texts in the following weeks letting her know I miss her. A few nights ago, she finally responded.

She made small talk for awhile asking what I was doing and saying she was home alone and had been drinking. O then asked me to send a pic. I'm a guy so I responded with "of what?"

Me being a homebody, O has seen me look my worst before, so I took a quick selfie and sent it with a sarcastic caption about how sexy I am.

Her response: 
O: Uhh... wtf. I thought u were someone else.  
O: Ur an ass!
O: U called the cops on me. 
O: Fuck off
Me: Ok but why?
O: U were a great friend..b4 u called the cops!
O: Goodbye 
Me: I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do.
She has never responded. 

Anyone can claim that I was NTA due to an NC order and abuse in the first place. But it isn't so cut and dry. O didn't want an NC but by law it was auto.
