The Darkness

Bestie Becca

She blocked me, on all platforms. I can stop by her house. Since she does not want to talk to me, I won't.

Becca had tears rolling off her eyes.

Amy was, no is, my best friend since elementary school. We shared so many things, good and bad.

Becca was mother hen in her group of 4 friends. Amy, Sophia, Clara and Becca - the fantastic four as they liked to call themselves - were inseparable in the middle school. When it was time to go to high school, Amy and Becca went to one school, while Sophia and Clara went to different school.

It was difficult for us, but we were still together. We spent a lot of time outside the school - we went to the mall, movies, restaurants. We talked about the cute guys.

There was a hint of smile on her face as she remembered the good times they had.

It was not the first time Amy distanced me though. When we were in high school, she started hanging out with Emilia, and I was the third leg. That did not last for too long. Amy finally came around, and realized that I was still her best friend. She needed some space, and I gave her that.

Becca was outspoken, and kept the girls safe from the worst. That's why she was the mother hen.

So many guys hit on us, and I had to fend them off. I had to make sure my girls were not getting into bad crowd or with bad guys.

Amy started going out with Ken. It happened very suddenly. I was not very fond of him.

Ken was toxic. He was very controlling. He would go over her phones and track her movements. When I told Amy that he was toxic, she lashed out at me. She told me how I did not know anything about relationship.

Ken started feeding her lies about me, and made me seem toxic. I had never done anything bad to Amy or any of my other friends. I was always looking out for them.

Amy spent less and less time with me. And then out of the blues, she blocked me in all social medias. She would not pick up my phone, and she did not want to talk to me at school. She was spending her time with Ken anyways, and Ken did not want me around. It became hard for me to talk to her.

Becca was crying out loud by this time, the profound pain of losing her best friend apparent in her hurt.

When Sophia and Clara learned about this, they wanted to talk to Amy. I asked them not to. I told them I did not want their relationship damaged because of me. I wanted them to be around for her.

And I will be around. Knowing Ken, he will not be with Amy for long. I don't know if it will be 3 months or a year, but her relationship will not last. I want to be there for her when she finally realizes that. I want to support her when she is broken. That's what friends are for. It does not matter what Amy did to me, I will be here for her.

A relationship does not need to be sacrificed to make room for the next one. Hopefully Amy will see it. Hopefully Amy will come around and be united with her bestie Becca.
