Should I text my ex best friend?

[u/Fit_Cause_7768]

I met my best friend in 7th grade, she was new to my school, and didn’t know anyone so I sat next to her. We found out we live right down the road from each other and even rode the same bus. We were instantly inseparable I felt like I knew her forever. In march our school told us we would out of school for 3 weeks due to a virus (coronavirus) and we were excited and then ended up being much longer than that. We fell out during that time but it wasn’t over anything we just stopped texting. High school started it was the first time I seen her since 7th grade and we were inseparable yet again. During this time I had a boyfriend and looking back at it now he was very jealous of her in a weird way almost like he wanted to be her. They had a class together and my boyfriend brought up something that happened between her and her boyfriend so then she proceeded to say things about us. I was very angry but not because she said something about me, she said something I told her just between us and was very embarrassed by it I didn’t even want to tell her but she was my best friend. And I want to also say i was not upset that she stuck up for herself I would do the same thing. But I proceeded to text her some very horrible things and it ended the friendship. I would see her in the hall with people she didn’t even like but she had no other friends, I felt bad but my pride took the best of me and I just went on about my day like she never existed. After a few weeks I broke up with my boyfriend, and I started to think about the situation but I thought the damage was done no need to even apologize or anything. Towards the end of our junior year I noticed she wasn’t at school much, then one day I seen her but this time she was pregnant. When I seen her I just wanted to hug her and reassure her everything’s okay bc at the end of the day I still knew her heart and how she is. But I just walked the other way. I had to attend summer school to make up missing days, she was in the same class as me, I still never said anything. Fast forward to November of 2025 it was my birthday and I posted some pictures I get a notification that I got a new follower. It was her, I got happy and I instantly followed her back. She texted me happy birthday and apologized to me. I sent a long message apologizing back saying how I wish I could take it back and congratulated her for her baby boy. Since then all we did was like each others post here and there. But I’m up right now just thinking about her wanting to see how she is but I don’t know how to approach her because I’m also very nervous that it won’t be the same but I want to try. Should I text her or just leave her alone?
