“Where was I? Where was she?” (pg 239).
She was in rehab and I was in Memphis. She was my best friend that I tried to help but failed. I would talk to her mother periodically to see how she was doing while she was in rehab. She was the most upset by this situation. We would write a few times while she was at that place. She was not the same best friend she used to be. She changed and that place changed her even more. I do not know what she was doing or thinking. She did it to herself and now her family and friends are feeling the pain. She keeps hurting herself and everyone who loves her by doing what she keeps doing. She always loved attention even if it was negative attention. She did not and does not care only if it was just attention. I loved and will always love her like a sister. She used to love me but now it is the attention that she loves. Now I am just one of them according to her. I am on of them because I actually went to college and care about my family and friends. I am watching a girl I love waste her life, talents, and intelligence away. She is slowly killing herself. I tried to save her, so did everyone else around her. Now, she is the only one who can save herself. Yet, if she saves herself then the attention is gone. She does not want to lose the attention but she does not realize that no one cares anymore. No one is trying to help her anymore because everyone has tried and she has just pushed them away. Now she is slowly dwindling from everyone’s lives. She still needs help but everyone is tried of being disappointed.
