My BBF jumped in our couple picture then cut me out of it - but I never know her real purpose

I got really lucky in high school I became super close with a girl called Sadie and we did everything together up until then I'd never really had a close friend so I couldn't believe it when we met and just clicked people even joked we were lesbians but our friendship wasn't like that she just got me I finally felt understood and I wondered where she'd been all my life when it was time to apply for University of course we applied to exactly the same ones and even the same major it was kind of funny because when I first met Sadie she thought biochemistry was the most boring subject in the world but as soon as I told her it was what I was planning to study she quickly changed her tune and applied to we didn't want to be a part even for a second in the first year of University we were working on a project and Sadie and I got teamed up with a really cute guy his name was Jordan and pretty soon the three of us were like the three musketeers we started hanging out a lot and one night we were in the library studying and I couldn't stop looking at Jordan every time I looked up he was looking at me I suddenly felt so attracted to him and it was clear that there was a lot of chemistry between us that same night he sent me a message telling me he liked me and I was so happy after that night Jordan and I started hanging out even more if the three of us were together Jordan would always sit next to me and he'd even hold my hand under the table clearly we were becoming a couple and everyone knew it even Sadie but she started acting weird she always seemed to find a reason to get in between me and Jordan one time she was supposed to be babysitting her nephew but when she found out Jordan and I were working together in the lab she told her sister she was sick and couldn't babysit and then she just stayed with us it was actually kind of awkward because we never got any alone time even when we went to the movies Sadie would always turn up one night we were watching a horror movie and she was so scared she asked if she could sit in the middle of us honestly it was starting to annoy me I tried to talk to her about it but she always made jokes and change the subject then things got really weird when we took a camping trip one weekend Jordan and I had been planning it for ages a romantic weekend away we decided to take his motorbike and made a joke with Sadie that the motorbike couldn't carry three on it but you won't believe it when we got to the campsite she was there she paid a ton of cash and taken a taxi there great so now we had a third wheel the whole weekend don't get me wrong Sadie was my best friend and she was just as important to me as Jordan but sometimes you just want private time with your boyfriend on that trip I brought my Polaroid camera Jordan and I took a photo together and I kissed him on the cheek but then the moment he pressed the button Sadie jumped in and kissed his other cheek she laughed so much about it and acted like she was just joking but I found it really odd then something even more odd happened I went to her room one night to borrow a book her door was open so I just walked in and I saw her sitting there cutting the Polaroid photo suddenly everything made sense she was obviously in love with Jordan and wanted to come between us that's why she always turned up to ruin the moment and when she kissed his cheek but the thing that hurt the most was that she wanted to cut me out of the photo I'd been so good to her like a sister and never wanted her to feel left out but the whole time she'd been looking to get rid of me that day we had a huge fight and I told her I couldn't believe it she'd want to ruin my relationship with Jordan like this she just stood there crying saying she was sorry and she couldn't help how she felt after that she just disappeared I felt kind of guilty I'd been so angry at her but why did she have to drop out of university because of it if only I'd been more calm about at all maybe we'd still be friends Jordan and I stayed together which helped a lot at least I still had him in my third year of university I won an award for my successful research on a biochemical compound and I got to give presentations in hospitals one time I was at a hospital in San Fran and I met a guy called David he'd been sitting in the front row and I noticed that he seemed to truly focus on my presentation after I finished he came up to ask me some questions he was seriously charming and it felt great to meet someone who really had interest in my research after we chatted he gave me his phone number and then left I don't know why but I couldn't stop thinking about him obviously I didn't tell Jordan about him and pretty soon David and I were talking all the time we had so much in common and he seemed to understand me more than Jordan did after one month of talking to David every day I broke up with Jordan it wasn't fair on him and I knew deep down I just wanted to be with David one day David and I were out walking and we bumped into Jordan suddenly Jordan punched David right in the face and while the two of them were fighting David's wallet fell out of his pocket and straight away I saw something familiar it was the Polaroid photo and then I looked closer and realized it was a photo of me and Sadie I hadn't been cut out of it Jordan had been it looked like Sadie and I were kissing in the photo but why did David have this in his wallet I showed it to Jordan and we were both so confused and that's when David broke down and told us everything David is Sadie she'd undergone surgeries to change her gender and her appearance because she was so in love with me and just wanted to find a way for us to be together I was so shocked I mean I love David but I'd never thought about being with a trans guy before I don't know what to do should I continue dating David even though he lied to me about everything
