Dear best friend,
Let my start by telling you my opinion of you started off amazingly high, you lived with your mom who treats you like you're 5, literally, never let's you go to others houses, or stay out late, and even watch family Chanel when we met! We were in grade 5 then, and I know 5 year olds who are allowed to watch family channel. but then she expects you to do so many chores it's not even funny, including babysit your brother every day after school for two hours. That's a pretty tough life, and so when we met you were beyond sheltered, and didn't know what the real world was like. You adapted so quickly, and damn, sorry for ruining your opinion of your mom. It was me who told you she was so overprotective, strict and mean, she grounded you for a full month for getting a "D" on a test? I found that horrible, but you thought it was normal. Anyway, during all this it may have seemed like you didn't impress me. You did. You were and still are stronger than I could ever be, even when you break down, it could be so much worse.
So my opinion of you was always sky high, you didn't care what others thought, you were the perfect blend of tomboy and girly girl, you were funny and made other friends easily.
But all that changed. You got a boyfriend and I stopped mattering to you. You got a phone, and though we promised, if you ever got a phone I would be the first person you texted, you only texted your boyfriend. I found out a month later that you got a phone through him. That's just completely and utterly unacceptable. What am I? You know I'm the person who stood by you for years, who shared food with you, who helped you with your homework, and who you spend Friday nights with. I'm the person you stayed up with gossiping about people, and just talking about random stuff. But you didn't care. Maybe you never really cared about me. That day when I have you some excuse about being out of town and not wanting the phone bill to go up? That was a lie. I was just with my parents and I didn't want them to see me cry. You didn't even bother to try. You just texted "why r u mad at me????" "Apollo?!!!!" And then I texted your boyfriend the excuse. I was obviously mad at you, but you obviously didn't care.
"Ok, well it's been nice talking to you but I have better things to do than talk to you, Ok then, goodbye." When your boyfriend guilt tripped you into calling me 2 weeks later. This is what I said to you. You acted like nothing was wrong and I just couldn't take it. How dare you talk to me like nothing's wrong when you haven't talked to me in over a month. When I'm crying myself to sleep, because that girl I fell in love with is gone. I ended up calling you back, not because I felt bad, but because it was your first day of work. We had the same job, and those hours are long, and incredibly hard. Most people have to stop to throw up it's so strenuous, and I just couldn't send anyone to that horrible place after a fight, when your bf told me you were crying. I knew you needed the money for something you broke, and you were looking at a year of grounding if you couldn't find the money. I don't think I've ever really regretted calling you back and making up, maybe a little, because I wanted you to suffer the way I had. I wanted you to feel as alone, and hurt, and abandoned as I had. And damn, you know what sometimes I still do when I think about it. If I had, I wouldn't be typing this right now. I wouldn't harbor this grudge. I should have stayed mad at you longer, then you would have taken me seriously. Sometimes I wonder if you do. Sometimes I want to confront you about it, but I just can't bring myself to.
So eventually then you broke up with him for no reason other than "I don't like him anymore." At the time I was happy, but I'm realizing how pathetic that was. I am not leftovers, I'm not someone to be thrown away like trash for something new, then just picked back up again once you realize he's not perfect. News flash he never was. If you were going to ditch and ignore me for a guy, then you've made your choice. He better damn well be worth it. When you figure out he's not, you expect me to come back. And I did. Because I'm just the pathetic piece of trash you threw away, and came back to pick up.
So then we were good, I snarled in your face a few times, you told me you didn't know what was wrong with you, why you made all those decisions, etc.
Then this year started, let me list your boyfriends, let's see, Blondie, C, braces, and more I'm forgetting. You're shallow minded, boy obsessed, and even though I am too, your so girly and vain. My opinion of you deteriorated so quickly, I'm not sure how much lower it could have gotten at points honestly.
You know what, I could have forgiven you. All I wanted was an apology. One "I'm sorry." But you never even gave me one. And I hate you for that more than words can describe.
*sigh* when you told me how much you love being y best friend it really meant a lot to me. I think you've changed. You wouldn't do that again right?
Love, your best friend.
Dear other friend,
When you jerk me around it reminds me about all of that drama. I feel like it's happening again. And also, I just wanna thank you for not stepping up, and at least trying to take her place, and for laughing at me when I was seriously upset and mad at you.
Your buddy apollo.
P.S yeah. I am.
