To my fake forever friend,

Sometimes when really good things happen, you are the one I want to call. Then I remember that we aren’t friends anymore. I start to miss you, then I remember all of the awful things that you did to me. I remember how many times you had called me because you needed me. I remember all of the times that I dropped whatever I was doing, no matter how important it was, because you were crying on the phone. This isn’t going to be like one of the other letters people write saying “I’ll always love you” and “You’ll always have a place in my heart”, because that’s simply not the case.

The truth is, everyone is your ‘best friend’ until someone new comes along that can do something better than the last. You are one of the most fake and cruelest people I have ever met. You are egotistical and the truth is I wish I could take back the past year of knowing you. I wish I could take back all the times that I dropped everything at the drop of a hat to make sure that you were okay. We went on our weekly drives and even when it was me that needed to talk, the conversation always turned into us talking about you.

The one time that I called you in a state of panic and completely out of my mind wanting to end the pain, your response was, “sorry I'm at ******* house, can I just talk to you later?” Later that night I did some regrettable things and when you were told later that week you got upset with me about it. We went for our drive and you tried to turn it around on you saying that you “never really had to deal with these feelings”, again turning my personal trauma into something about you.

You were never really my friend, and I was never really yours. When people treat you the way that you have treated me no matter how bad a fight may be, no friend intentionally tries to hurt the other. That is what you did to me. You even took it a step further, you tried to turn people against me. You played the victim and I’ll admit you played it well until people saw through it.

You were someone I called my best friend, someone I confided in and you didn’t care how much it hurt. You told me that I am a bad person, a terrible friend and that I am going nowhere in life. However, that is not the case. See you can ask anyone who has ever in the past been my friend, even when we were not friends I was still there for them whenever they needed or wanted to talk. I would have done the same for you but you shoved a knife in my back and twisted it because you liked the way it felt to hear me scream.

For someone who says they hate fighting and conflict you sure as hell enjoyed trying to fight with me. There are two things that I will never do when I decide not to keep a friendship. I will never tell a soul things that you told me in confidence, and I would never do anything deliberately to hurt you. You on the other hand did both of those things.

Not only did you come to my place of work with the one person that hurt me the most to see me squirm, but you also made fun of something that is an epidemic in our society affecting millions of people today. You decided that this was all okay to do and it wasn’t, it will never be an okay thing to ever do. After all of this you decided that it would be okay for you to call me and ask me for advice. I kindly asked you to not message me again because I was not over all that you have done to hurt me. You came back full force trying to get me to react because you wanted a fight, for someone who talks about how against all of this they are it really says something. So I hope that this clears things up for you. I hope you’re happy with the choices that you have made in your life. I hope that this really shows you the pain that you cause people, and I hope that no one else has to completely relate to this post like I have to.

So to my fake forever friend, thanks for nothing. I’m going to succeed in everything I do in complete spite of you. I’m a very forgiving person but the things that I have mentioned and the things that I have left out, with respect for you, make me want to forget that you exist. Thank you for showing me that if I ever meet someone like you again, to stay clear.

Always,

The truest friend you could have ever had.
