Dear Anonymous,

   I think we're both a little broken right now. I'm not sure that we know how to handle the situation that has been thrown our way.

We both just lost one of our best friends.

I know she's not really gone. I could knock on her door and see her if I wanted, but emotionally she's not present in our lives at the moment.

She's had a rough couple months and I know that you're trying your best to support her, but like I know, it's really hard at the moment.

It's like trying to win a race with your shoelaces tied together and a blindfold over your eyes. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, it's not good enough to win the race.

On top of it all there are people screaming at you in all directions. Some scream questions at you, begging you for explanations. Others scream sarcastic jokes and rude comments about your friend. While everyone else is screaming at you to not worry about it at all.

Everyone's wrong and no one understands the situation but us.

   You've known her a lot longer than I have. She's been your best friend for quite some time now. We became good friends because she introduced us.

I'm so glad that she's the reason we met. The three of us have done some pretty crazy and amazing things together. The three of us get along like we've known each other forever.

Right now we need to sick together. We can't let our social status keep us from trying to help our friend. I know you'll do the right thing, because you always do.

You're an amazing person and I'll be here, right by your side every step of the way, and I won't stop until we get our friend back.

Sincerely,
Me
