No friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever...
So... I don't have a lot of friends. Let me clarify.
I get along well with most of the people I meet, and have 'work friends' and 'school friends', but when I want to hang out with someone and have a good time, or when I need to unload, or share a happy story, there's not many people I turn to. I like it this way. I'm not a very open person, and I get uncomfortable around people I don't know well, making it rather difficult to... well, get to know people well. I'm fine with this.
My two best friends I've literally know since I was 5 years old. For 16 years we have been (almost) inseperable. Save for a brief period in the 6th grade that we don't really talk about we have been like the three musketeer's.
Until lately.
School and worked pulled us apart for some time but we always made sure that we caught up on each other's lives and met for birthday's, all major holidays, and as often inbetween that we could.
But for the past serveral months one of these friends has all but abandoned us.
She's missed birthday's, barely made it to our New Year's celebration that we had planned (just the three of us non-partiers watching silly movies and blending our own drinks until 3 in the morning), and has backed out of every plan we've made in the past four months.
Something else always comes up. Work. Church. Minor sicknesses. It's always something.
For months I've tried to ignore it, hoping she would come around and find us again. My other friend and I meet weekly now, if not more, making time for eachother as often as we can. We watch Supernatural together every single Thursday (even when it was just weeks and weeks of re-runs) just so we can see each other. And my other friend can't be bothered to join us for lunch after church on Sunday.
Now I've found out that she is not going to be going to our friend's graduation.
This friend has toiled for 4 long years, working her ass off to graduate with a BA from a very good school. She graduates in one month.
And instead of going to her graduation, that she has worked so hard for and is so proud of, my other friend will be leaving 2 hours before the ceremony, to drive to California for a family vacation.
She can't find it in her heart to wait 3 damn hours to start her vacation, so that she can see her best friend graduate.
She has been our friend for 16 years, and it looks as if we have lost her.
I don't know what we did. I don't know why she left. She just decided that she had better things to do than be with us.
It's a melancholy feeling, this. I don't know how to react.
