Happened to me with one of my friends. We knew each other for over 7 years and we basically grew up together because our older siblings were friends and had the same activities. Me and her would always talk about school, musicals, movies, and some times personal stuff. This past semester/end of last semester, I started having some feelings for her after realizing how kind, caring, supportive, and beautiful she really was. I didn’t want to pursue her just because how long we’ve known each other and I didn’t want to risk losing that friendship or make it awkward so I stayed quiet about it. I love how kind she is and how she tries to find the silver lining in everything. That kindness, however, is a double edged sword for her because she became friends with another girl at our school that my best friend used to date that is basically an instigator and continues drama for no reason. My friend and his ex girlfriend started some drama after asking the girl I admired’s best friend the “what are we?” Question (this was months after he broke up with her) my girl’s best friend said they were just friends and he had to leave early so he left, defeated. Once he left, his ex girlfriend came around and started talking bad about him and everything. I did late approached her about the talking bad about him but of course he denied it. So my and my best friend just stopped hanging out with them because his ex was always hanging out with them and when she’s around they don’t even talk to us. This in turn made it where I could barely hang out with the girl I’d admired without getting basically getting a dirty stare from the ex girlfriend and I slowly just lost interest in her. It hurts honestly, knowing someone for most of your life to a girl who stopped talking to you because she found another girl to talk to. To make it worse, the ex girlfriend hangs out with the girl I liked more than all the other girls that me and my best friend used to hang out with. I kinda gave up on her because of all that, I also stopped talking to her unless she talked to me. I don’t really know if she has the same feelings for me but if she does, she’ll just have to come to be because I don’t really want to hang out with the ex girlfriend. That my story, a tragedy, a real tragedy
