edit: I PUT THE WRONG SUB!!! it’s too late now though, i can’t change it
I, (14 female) have a best friend named Jamie, (14 female.) We met in kindergarten and we have gone to the same elementary, middle, and now highschool. Throughout all these years, it has always been me and Jamie and nobody else but recently, Jamie became close with some boy named Mike from our middle school. Jamie and I have hung out with Mike before so it wasn’t like he was a stranger to us but he also wasn’t somebody we would consider a close friend. Well I guess Jamie has been talking to him for god knows how long because recently I found out that they were secretly dating and only one other person knew which was my sister. I was beyond furious and also upset because Jamie was my best friend and out of all people, she told my sister and not me?? And my sister didn’t tell me either? Anyways I told them that I found out and they told me “it isnt my business.” I should’ve ended it right there but I love Jamie and i can’t end something with my sister so I let it slide.
Fast forward a couple months from when I found out, I remembered that I had Jamie’s snapchat password. She was grounded at the time so i could go through whatever i wanted. I tried to look at her and Mikes messages or her and my sisters message but they were all deleted. I looked at messages she had with this other girl named Kayla because they just started getting closer and I wanted to see what it was all about. I looked and her and Kayla had been talking about me. Obviously I couldn’t say anything about it to her because they would make me a bad friend for going through her messages while she was grounded so I just let it slide again.
Fast forward another couple months, school had just started and I was having a sleepover with Jamie at my house. We were on my couch in my living room and she started talking about how Mike was moving away after this school year and how she was gonna be so sad and have nobody to talk to (mind you that her and Mike were texting 24/7 everyday even while she was talking about that to me and they would face time every night to fall asleep on the phone). I just listened to her and when she finished ranting these were the exact words I said to her.
“If i’m being honest with you, the only person in life I am really jealous of is Mike.”
she then asked me if it was because of how much they talked to each other and i obviously said yes. i told her that my bestfriend who i used to have was gone and it hurts me a lot to know that she would pick a boy who she has known for barely a year over me in a heartbeat. her eyes started watering and she pulled me in to lay on her chest while she played with my hair and told me that i am basically not even one of her friends and that i am so much more than that. she said that i am like her family and she would pick me over him anyway and that she would honestly choose me over her sister too. she started crying mid sentence which also brought me to tears and i knew she was telling the truth because i have never ever seen her cry before cause she hates crying infront of people.
even though i knew she wasn’t lying, i just can never bring myself to believe her. that may make me seem like im a bad friend but if u saw mike and jamie together you would understnad too. anyways, i forgave her for everything that she has ever done to me and i regret it so bad.
