I'm not sure I can even explain what i'm feeling right now. It's over.
Jessi and I are officially not friends anymore. She's 2000 miles away
and she hates me. She hates me for my lies, and my actions, and for the
one thing that has actually made my life happy lately. She hates me
for the love that I found in a place I should never have been looking in
the first place. I never meant to steal David from her, even though
she didn't really want him anyway. She liked him, she'd had a
semi-relationship with him, not much of one, but still it mattered. I
never meant to fall in love with him, but I did. And I can't turn it
off or dig myself out of that hole. I thought she'd gotten over it a
little bit, but I guess it's just too large of a betrayal. I just don't
know what to do, I can't even cry. For the first time in a long time
I'm back to my utterly invisible depression. I don't want to do
anything. I get up, I go to class, I party, and I hang out with the few
friends that I have left, but it's kind of emotionless. It hurts so
bad that I just want to shut myself off. Best friends aren't supposed
to be this breakable... I never thought in a thousand years that I'd
lose her to such a degree. I just don't know what to do. I can't talk
to her, I can't change anything. I fucked everything up and there's no
going back on anything. There is honestly nothing I can do to fix this.
It's so fucking frustrating too... because I need answers. I'm one
of those people that believes in second chances... and even third, and
fourth, and fifth if they are needed, but she's not. I don't know what
to say other than she's being just as selfish as I was when I caused
this. I would have done anything for her. I would have ripped my own
heart out and told david that I didn't love him even though it was so
blindingly obvious to me that I did. But she told me that it was okay.
She lied to me. She told me she'd never completely write me off, and
that she wouldn't hate me forever for this, but she is. She told me I
could do what I wanted if I felt that he was that special to me. And he
was. And I told her that, I was completely honest. I told her I had
feelings I couldn't explain, or even shut off anymore, and she said it
was fine. If I had known back then that it wasn't, that it wouldn't
ever be I could have walked away. It would have broken me, and probably
David too, but I could have done it. It's not something I can do
anymore. I don't know at what point that fact changed, but I'm too far
in now. He's my...everything. Jessi doesn't want to be there for me,
so he has been, and so he's my best friend now. I have friends... but I
don't have a best friend anymore. There's no one I can be completely
and brutally honest with anymore. TJ's gone. Puddy's too wrapped up in
Jessi's world, so there's just certain things I can't say. Erica's
just not always there. Kahla's changed. Allor doesn't always listen or
understand. He's my only option, and that's fine with me, but I just
can't give that up. Because it's very obvious at this point that I can
never be just friends with him. I could have if I didn't know him as
deeply as I do now, but I can't now that I see the kind of person he
really is rather than the person he wants some people to think he is. I
want to be able to say that I'd still do anything for Jessi, that even
after she's given up on me and ever trusting or loving me again, I could
look past it and still keep up my end of the friendship. But I just
can't do it. I never in a thousand years would have said the things
she's saying to me to her... I never would have purposely hurt her, and
she knows it. I can't keep trying to fix something she so obviously
doesn't care about anymore. I can't keep rolling over and taking this
kind of stuff all the time. I get hurt too much. I didn't care about
it when she still cared a little bit for me, I would have taken it
forever, but now that she's decided she's done... well maybe I'm done
too. Maybe I don't always have to wait around for people to forgive me,
or come back around. Maybe I need to look out for my own heart now and
again. Maybe I need to think of myself rather than those around me,
because it seems like no matter what I do or how hard I try to be
perfect and never step on anyone's toes, it happens anyway. I hurt
people anyway. It's my curse and I know it. I'm fucked up, my life is
fucked up and there's nothing I'm ever going to be able to do to fix
that... I just have to learn to live with the shittiness... I need to
learn how to make it great. I need to be able to love, without feeling
guilty. I need to be able to laugh, without wondering if I have a right
to. I need to be able to just relax for 10 minutes even without
thinking of how I can make things up to people. I need to be able to
live. It's about time I started... oh shit, this is gonna be something.
I'm not sure I know how to do this.
forever fucking over and fucking up,
Jenny
