My Story

[Heather2010]

8 months ago, my life was perfect. I was happy all the time and I would give anything to go back. I wasn't very popular or well-liked, but I had one best friend and that was all I needed. My best friend was perfect. We watched movies and talked way past our curfews almost every night. He didn't have many other friends either, but neither of us cared. We loved each other. He had been friends with my old best friend, who ended up hating me and never speaking to me for reasons I still don't understand, but he said that he could never like her again because she had hurt me too much, and that he cared about me too much to talk to someone like her. I thought that was so sweet of him to say, and I loved him for it. We were best friends until about December, when he suddenly decided that he didn't like me anymore. We didn't get into a fight or anything like that, he just stopped talking to me. He began hanging out with my old friend, who he always used to say was a horrible person, and they became best friends. After only talking to me once or twice from December to April, he wants to be friend again. But not best friends like we were before, just "sort-of" friends. I don't think I can ever forgive him, especially since I don't think he plans to apologize. I spent my winter crying because I had lost my best friend, while he doesn't even seem to care. He knows that I suffer from depression, but he just doesn't care. How do I handle this situation? I really just want my old friend back, but I just don't know if that will happen.
