As much as I'm enjoying this story you've dropped a morsel in there that interests me even more: "My best friend Melissa coldly dropped me like a hot potato for reasons I will never fully understand." Being dropped suddenly by a best friend is an act of cruelty for which there is seemingly no recourse. Unfortunately, I know. I've found the writings on this subject to be sparse to non-existent leading me to the conclusion that it's simply too painful to examine so closely... exactly the reason I'd like to read more on the subject. Hardly anyone speaks of it but as I've learned, most of us have some experience with it. Those are stories I'd be very interested in reading... in addition to those you are currently writing.
Thank you so much Tracy. I will be writing about that. Absolutely. Melissa was the closest friend I had as an adult. Like with Cris, we clicked right off the bat and were fast and intimate friends.
I have never had a friendship end like that .
Unlike Cris, as cruelly as she dropped me, I'm not as inclined to "tell all" as I am with him. It is my story to tell though, and once I'm done with the Sister Ex saga (and a pallate cleanser of fun posts) I will definitely be going there.
Oof. This one seems like the most relatable yet, maybe the most vulnerable. I understand that fixation space to find answers, we probably all do, especially when wronged with little to no explanation. Though I've done it as the wrong-er vs. the wrong-ee, too, if I'm being honest and it's so hard to be basically "cut off" by friends or romantic partners.
On a lighter note, always love your recs and looking forward to next chapters! :)
Thank you so, so much my friend <3 And yeah, I'm sure I'm not guiltless in this regard. What was so frustrating about my BFF Melissa is she refused to discuss it, and it wasn't like I did anything heinous (lie, steal, betray a confidence, yell, flip a table, pull a wig) Some mysteries will have to be, but DAMN that's hard to accept.
