• As time passed, I saw her growing thinner. I saw her face growing meaner, and I saw my old friend disappearing. "Emily," I asked, quietly, "What is changing you?" I saw fear flicker in her gaze for a moment. "What are you talking about? You are the one that's changing, moron," she said, jokingly. I didn't take it as a joke though, I took it as the truth. I could do nothing but watch as we were torn apart by stupidity and loneliness. When she attempted suicide, I almost laughed at how pathetic I was. I couldn't even save my friend, even after I'd promised to do so. I cried as I thought of my promise to my friends, and to myself. I was alone in a new city. How could I keep my word now? My heart still aches as I see what she is failing to realize.

    All she is doing is hurting the people she loves, and destroying her life.

    I still wonder sometimes if it's all my fault. I also wonder why she still bothers to call.
