I just lost my best friend.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Every part of it. The cutting, the writing, everything. And don't try to say that it's not. I know that you believe so, too.
You. Are. My. Best. Friend.
I love you. I'll miss you. I really will. It's stupid when you think about that old saying that goes "sometimes you have to hurt the ones you love to show that you really care", but it's true. Sorry if this hurts you. It hurts me too.
I can't associate with you anymore. Instead of over-dosing and drinking until I couldn't see straight, I've decided to give up something really important to me. Because I deserve to be hurt once in a while. I asked my mother for advice because I don't know what to do with myself anymore. Do you know what she said?
She said it was all my fault. All. My. Fault.
My own MOTHER told me this in regards to consolation. And she's right. So I cried for four hours until I passed out. I can't live with myself. I don't know what to do or say. I'm a screw-up. I don't deserve a best friend like you. So I made sure that I can't say anything to hurt you again.
I'm not going to ask why you told Jamie. I'm not going to ask why you didn't tell your mother about me. I'm not going to say another word ever again. This is my sacrifice. I deserve to lose too. I deserve to be hurt, so that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Good-bye is the hardest thing to say, but I'll say it anyway. I'm sorry you had to carry this burden. I'm actually sorry that you ever had to know me. I'm sorry that I got you into this horrible mess. You and Jamie and everybody else I've come in contact with. I'm sorry if this hurts you and makes you mad; if this hurts you and makes you cry because you're losing me, but I'm not something worth crying over, no matter what you may believe. Know that I love you, that you're my best friend and you'll always be, that no one will ever replace you, but it's time for me to forget.
I guess this is it."
...
This is what I told her, and every bit is true.
I love you, Michelle, and I'm sorry.
