Just this once

Chapter 2

Everyone always tells you "No two people are the same. Everyone is different, and are their own person" maybe that's the beauty in people. But then, maybe that's the default in people. 

Everyone makes their own path in this world, and no ones gonna follow you down yours. Maybe they might go down theirs, and cross paths with your's, but they are always gonna go back down their own. 

They always get mad when you try to guide them in a different direction, even if it is for their own good. You can't pick anyone's path for them, and maybe that's the default in it. Maybe that's why I lost the only other best friend I had. 

I tried to help her go down the right path, because even herself knew she was going down the wrong one, but she didn't want help. She didn't wanna direct herself onto that right path. 

We stopped being friends a few months after because she changed for the worse, and it wasn't a good idea to stay friends with her. 

I know what you're thinking now, "You're supposed to help your friends out of low, dark places like that. You're supposed to be their and support them through it."

But that's the thing. I stay for 6 months after she turned down this path, and she was starting to get into really deep trouble and it just wasn't a safe place anymore. So I left her to be with her new friends. 

She still had friends and support. She just didn't have mine anymore. 

I think what really had the biggest effect on her was the fact she had to leave the one person she loved the most. Her one other only friend, and move thousands of miles away from him. 

About 2 months after I continued down my path without her, she ended up going to a boarding school. Her family thought it was better for her. Safer. I still talk to them and make sure she's okay, and they understand why I did what I did, they don't judge me for it. 

They knew their daughter was in a bad place, and they are just glad they didn't drag me down with her.
