Fading Away

From my youth, I don’t remember much about friends. At least, not until I got into Junior High. Something happened that I swore wouldn’t happen again. My one and only “best friend” left me high and dry. I never knew what I did to make her angry, But she decided that we were no longer friends. I was left all alone with no one but family. My social life had been centered around Jen. I made a conscious decision at age thirteen To increase my social circle at least tenfold. If ever again I was hit by something unforeseen, At least I would have lots of friends and someone to hold.
