The One Holding The Gun
I watched her walk up—my bestfriend… well _used_ to be.
I watched her walk up receive her Diploma and couldn’t congratulate her—or even say goodbye.
We both were going to college, I forgave her countless times, but she always took advantage of me. She even got close to my guy bestfriend just to pretend to like him, He was heartbroken. I had to watch my bestfriend’s heart break. He was the sweetest man I knew, but yet—she still broke his heart. I couldn’t. She didn’t even try to change. I begged—crying that she’d change. _She never did. _

So everytime I go to family events they all ask about her. It’s like I can’t get away from our friendship. I can’t be done, because it’s just flashed in my face.
You know she actually stole my childhood bestfriend? On purpose too. She slowly started to distance me from her, and I never noticed it, till it was too late. She manipulated her, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I was friendless, for the most part. And even now, at least I could start over move away, from the life she ruined. Everything was a game to her.
She made sure my life was miserable.
She even had the audacity to say I didn’t appreciate our friendship!!! Like—what??? When she had kidney stones, I was right there! When her kidney started failing, I was there. Goodness I even gave her my left kidney!!! And she still acted like that. It hurt me deep to my core. How could somehow someone I’d take a bullet for, be the one with the bullet?? If she had a knife she made sure to dig it deep, turning it around inside of me to cut deeper. I even helped her get into college, that’s what I was willing to do for her but she wasn’t willing for me.
