I’m a girl and my best friend is a girl.

She just told me that she likes me romantically while we were on the phone. I’m bi and she’s bi.

I don’t like her back. And I feel like s*** for that.

I’m hurting her and I don’t want to hurt her.

She confessed knowing that I won’t return her feelings.

I feel so guilty and horrible over the fact that I don’t like her back and that I’ve talked about liking anotehr girl with her while she liked me.

She hung up straight away and we had a brief text exchange that was her asking me to delete all photos I have of her, which I complied with and to forget that she ever told me she likes me.

And then she said she was embarrassed and that she didn’t want to talk tonight.

I’m so worried about her because she is suicidal and has self harmed before.

I told her to talk to two of her other friends that know if she needs to talk to someone and that if she wants to talk me she can and that I’m always here for her.

I just feel like absolute s***, I’m a horrible person.

She said she wants to get over me because I don’t like her and that’s Okay.

That she knew I don’t like her.

And that it’s okay that I don’t like her back.

But I still feel absolutely horrible and I feel so guilty for not liking her back.

Now we’re going to grow distant, she’s going to distance herself from me and we’re not going to be the same anymore.

She told me that won’t happen but I feel like it will.

I don’t want to lose her.

She told me she’ll contact me when she’s ready, it’s Friday and we have three days until school starts again.

What do I do if we haven’t spoken all weekend?

How do I act when I go back to school and see her?

Am I meant to pretend it never happened? Like she said to.
