Day 14 - Someone you've drifted away from

Day 14 – Someone you’ve drifted away from.

Dear Best Friend 2,

How did we let it get like this? How did we let ourselves drift apart? I suppose… I don’t even know.

We were so close before. We did everything together. You had some other friends at school but for your New Years Eve party and your birthday party, I was the only one from school invited.

I trusted you with everything and vice versa.

I don’t know what drifted us apart. Maybe it was the fact that you got annoyed at one girl in our group and moved away? I thought when you moved that you would only move for a little bit and then come back up and sit with the group. I let it pass that you weren’t sitting with us.

But 3 weeks later and you still hadn’t sat with us. I went to the tuckshop one day with a friend and as I was walking back up to where we sit and you called me. You asked me to come and sit with you. I had all my other friends sitting in our normal area and I didn’t exactly want to abandon them. I went and sat with you for a little bit. You seemed really excited that I was sitting with you. That upset me, cause I wasn’t going to always sit with you. When I left, I told you to come and sit up with us sometime. You told me, it’s too hot up there.

We have 1 class together, and sometimes 2. In that class, you always seem really enthusiastic to see me. You tell me to sit next to you. I do.

I love that lesson that we have together.

But I miss the relationship we have. I don’t even know if you would classify me as a best friend anymore. I would classify you as one still though, even though you haven’t sat with me for 4 months.

It upsets me that we’ve drifted apart like this. You seem a lot closer to the two girls you sit with. I think I’m a little closer to the two girls I sit with.

I just want you to remember, that I’ll always be here if you need someone. If you need someone to talk to, to listen to you or to give you advice, I’m always here. Don’t forget that.

I miss you, and I see you every day at school.

Lots of love Becky xx
