Dear Ex-Bestie,

We were friends from kindergarten until the beginning of senior year of high school. We went from making the biggest makes from cooking to cleaning, to homework, to choosing boyfriends. We also made some really good ones for ourselves.

But the last year when I cared most about something you liked to shove it in my face. When I had my heart broken for the first time you did care but you didn’t at the same time. You seemed to push yourself away for some unknown reason.

When I felt confident enough to fall back in love with someone you called me every name imaginable for it, bringing my confidence back down. You also knew I wasn’t a confident person which didn’t help me.

You were going to a different school half the time through the day and making new friends like I had done the year prior. Your new friends were ganging up on me and supporting everything you said, it was on the verge of cyberbullying because you all hid behind your computer screens.

While you all hid behind your screens the people I was still friends tried to fight my battle while I cried in the school halls, bathrooms, classrooms, my bedroom. School became a miserable place, and my last year.

We stopped talking to each other, blocked on every social media. It was like we had never known or had been friends for thirteen years.

It has been a year since we stopped talking and you decided to unblock me and add me on all social media again.

I sit in my dorm room waiting for when you and your friends will all strike again.

But, I want you to know I won’t sit and cry in my room, I won’t sit and cry in my classes, I won’t cry to my mom or professors, I won’t cry to anyone. I am stronger than that I can get through you and your friend's hurtful words on my own.

I am a college student who has made through the worst of times and will make it to the best and your hurtfulness will no longer hurt me.

You are also not forgiven. Your words will always stay with me and the love of my life and I will never forgive you for what you have said.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-bestie
