Drama, seeking advice
Yeah, so last night was a first for me. I was accused of stealing money.
Scenario:
This guy i've been seeing a couple times invites me over to a party at his house. I head on over, and he's the only guy I know there. No big deal, I quickly become friendly with people there. It's a small party, maybe 10-15 people hanging out. 5 of us start playing a Poker tourney with a 20 dollar buy in. I held onto the money since I was dealing. When I got bumped out, I put the 100 bucks on the table and went to the kitchen where everyone else was. 5 minutes later I look back and hear them trying to find where the money is, since they were just going to split it.
I walked back, I checked myself just in case I still had it on me somehow, which I didnt. I asked if they all checked their pockets, and if someone else was here, etc. After a while, I didn't know what else to do, so I went back to the kitchen. I headed back periodically just to see if they found it. I felt really bad, but I knew for sure I dropped the money.
A little while later, my friends roomate asked me to empty my purse. I was a bit annoyed, but complied. He also asked me to empty my wallet which had a 100 dollar bill. At this point I claimed I had it in there originally and was not the poker money. He told me that while he lives there and pays rent I am not allowed back at the house. I was fucking kicked out of this party, and there was nothing I could do.
So, this is what i'm asking. What do I do to fix this? Yeah, it looks bad, I was the only new person there and this has never happened before. My friend was too drunk at the time to assist in anything, and people were in different stages of drunkenness to help out. I know I didn't take the money. But being accused of taking the money bothered me more than anything.
