Letters I'll Never Send

L.

This first chapter is the best and most important chapter. This is the chapter for my best friend.

We first met when were in second grade, we were in the same class and we got along from the start. Everyday after school I would walk with her a bit and pick up rocks I thought were cool. I'd give the rocks to her because when we met she told me she had a rock collection. After second grade we both moved and we didn't talk as much, she lived an hour away and she had a bad phone plan. I wasn't able to talk to her until after 6pm, so that's what we did. Almost every few days we'd talk on the phone for hours and hours till we had to go to bed.

When we were in grade five I began going through a really difficult time, I was being bullied and my friends were ditching me because of it. I would phone her up almost everyday after school crying and telling her whatever happened to me that day. She'd find a way to calm me down and make me laugh instead of cry. In that year I'd had thoughts of suicide and her and my parents were the reason I stayed alive. I couldn't imagine not being with them.

In grade six we didn't talk that much but my bullying got worse. I would still phone her when I was sad or text her and she would always make me feel better.

Slowly as time went on we stopped talking as much, our schools ended at different times, she was getting more and more busy with her new friends, and I was pulling away from people. We still have sleepovers about once every 3 months or so, we still see each other on our birthdays. We don't talk as much as we used to but when we do talk and get together it's as if we weren't ever away from each other. 

She is my favorite person and gets me better then anyone else, she's heard me crying on the phone at one in the morning and she's seen me laughing so hard I'm crying at five in the evening. She's helped me pull through some of my hardest times and she'd kept me around when I didn't want to live.

People always assume that you're soulmate is your husband, your wife, you girlfriend, boyfriend, but in special situations you're soulmate is you're best friend.

I'm happy to say I found my soulmate in my best friend.
