A few weeks ago my best friend landed in the ER. This was after an incident in which some of his peers at school falsely accused him of planning to go on a shooting spree. This was clearly not true, but that’s how rumors work. Some girl told on him and the police went after him, it wasn’t long after that that he ended up locked up for emotional instability for a week. I feel bad because I wasn’t there for him; I graduated from high school last year and he’s still there so I don’t see him as often anymore, we only text now because I have my own things going on and I myself have been dealing with tons of issues at home so I was unable to contact him for a few weeks and just found out about this recently. It just hurts me to know that so many people knew what had happened and no one thought it was important to contact me. I’m also upset because I need him in my life, because I don’t have many friends anymore, most of them left after graduation and I feel so alone. I’m not sure what to do.
