today my best friend, who lives 2,000 miles away (on the other side of the country to be exact) messaged me at 2 am telling me that she was really really sad and that no one was up. later when i woke up i wrote back asking what was wrong she told me she drank antifreeze and that she messaged her old friend who ****** her over last year and that all he did was tell her to call an ambulance and then blocked her and wrote a post about how he couldn't sleep, when the girl who used to love him was intoxicated and vomiting and sad and dying. and she just kept laughing, like it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard and i couldn't stop telling her "i'm sorry" i'm sorry i didn't have my phone i'm sorry i was asleep i'm sorry you live so far i'm sorry you're unhappy i'm sorry i can't do anything i'm sorry i'm being selfish i'm sorry i'm making you live when it's the last thing you want to do. and she just kept telling me it's okay, it's okay, it's okay i'm okay, it's fine, i'll be good and i didn't have the heart to tell her that i knew she was lying. i'm sorry i love you too much to let you go.

giggles, heartbreak, and antifreeze
today my best friend, who lives 2,000 miles away (on the other side of the country to be exact) messaged me at 2 am telling me that she was really really sad and that no one was up. later when i woke up i wrote back asking what was wrong she told me she drank antifreeze and that she messaged her old friend who ****** her over last year and that all he did was tell her to call an ambulance and then blocked her and wrote a post about how he couldn't sleep, when the girl who used to love him was intoxicated and vomiting and sad and dying. and she just kept laughing, like it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard and i couldn't stop telling her "i'm sorry" i'm sorry i didn't have my phone i'm sorry i was asleep i'm sorry you live so far i'm sorry you're unhappy i'm sorry i can't do anything i'm sorry i'm being selfish i'm sorry i'm making you live when it's the last thing you want to do. and she just kept telling me it's okay, it's okay, it's okay i'm okay, it's fine, i'll be good and i didn't have the heart to tell her that i knew she was lying. i'm sorry i love you too much to let you go.
