****ty mood is because I'm getting the feeling that the best friend I've ever had in my life is ditching me. I've seen how he's ditched girls and it's eerily similar to what's happening now. I love the kid to death, we're such a kickin' team, I dunno why he'd be getting away from me save for the drama that follows me like a bad shadow... lemme explain a little better...
He transferred to my highschool this year, he was best friends with my then girlfriend. About the time she and I started breaking up (it literally took over 3 months to break up), he and I started becoming really good friends. When I say really good, I'm talking better than brothers.
He said he would escape to his town (he lives in Pike Co, which is about 30min (at the speed limit, lol) away from here) during the summer. I figured he would to escape some people up here, but I figured he'd take me with him some with his old friends from his old HS (he goes to mine cause his mom works in my county and he had friends there, his highschool was in a district that is in danger of losing accreditation, so...). I've hardly heard from him all summer. He's been with his other friends a lot, it's not like he's grounded... He said he'd be kinda pissed at me if I went for this chick (there's a dramatic story to what happened between her and I over the past couple months... to make it short, NEVER make out with the best friend of the chick you're after, lol)... and then kinda I did, but it's not the kind of thing that he'd disappear because of. He said he'd be kinda pissed in that he'd just think I was being stupid, never said he'd disappear...
I'm really worried I'm losing the best friend I've ever had and a person that means an incredible amount to me. This kid has kept me from losing my mind over my exgf (chick he was best friends with)... whom I really loved, despite what people think about highschool relationships... he got me through that and still helps me whenever I get a bit of the pangs that still occur (and will, for a long time, it was a really horrible end because we still loved each other)... I may be making something out of nothing, and I hope to God I am, but I'm still really worried... I'll really lose it if I lose my friend... talk about nothing left, he's the only real friend I've ever had...
I hate drama, why does it hunt me like Wiley Coyote?
