i met kayla in 5th grade, i hated her. her friends and her always seemed to leave me out. i was a geeky 5th grader with glasses and she was already wearing bras and "dating" boys (if you can call holding hands at recess dating. i even received "in-school" suspension for writing Kayla is a BICTH (give me a break i was only ten i did not know how to spell "bad words")in the stall of the girls bathroom.1
But one day in sixth grade our teacher, Mrs. Taylor, gave us a project together. we got to know each other and we became best friends. By Jr. High school we were doing everything together and we shared everything. i remember when we were at her house we would steal beer from the fridge and when we were at my house we would steal cigarettes from my mom. if and when we got caught we would stand by each others side no matter how mad the others parents were at us. we loved, protected and stood up for each other no matter what.2
In Jr. High i also meet Tim, who became my boyfriend and a friend to kayla too. i dated Tim for along time but one day kayla came up to me and told me that Tim wanted her to tell me that he was breaking up with me. when your a sixteen year old girl and your best friend is one who breaks up with you its hard. then to make it worse Kayla starts hanging out with Tim instead of me. for me it was like she was breaking the pieces of my already broken teenage heart. i didn't talk to her for weeks. but soon i got over it the way teenagers do. kayla and i were best friends agian for a while.3
then kayla met Jeremy. she was 16 and he was 22. he was only intrested in sex and drugs and soon that became interests of kayla as well. she ran away from home and i didn't hear from her for almost 5 months I guess her father found her and dragged her back home. so kayla and i started hanging out again she would take me to parties with jeremy and his friends and we would hang out they would drink and do drugs but i wasn't into getting drunk with a bunch of guys who were six to seven years older than me so i would ration what i drank so that one beer would last all night.
in eleventh grade kayla just stopped talking to me. she was made at me for something, but even to this day i don't know what. i don't know if i said something or did something wrong because she was so mad she just refused to talk to me.4
so i went on with my life forming new friends but for some reason i always compared what my new friend did to what kayla would have done, they were never as fun or outgoing as kayla.even a year latter i would see something in the Mall and think Kayla would just love this...then my stomach would flip and i would remember that i haven't seen or talked to kayla in over a year. i went on with my life and left for college. then out of the blue one day during my 2 year at WSU my mom calls me but when i answer the phone its Kayla on the other line. she was thinking about me and thought that she would just stop by my house to see if i was home but i was 350 miles away clear on the complete opposite side of the Washington state. she missed me and wanted to see me after almost 4 years of not talking to me she wanted to see me. so when i went home for Christmas break that year i went to hang out with her. she says she cant remember why we were even fighting and i told her we were not fighting that she just stopped talking to me.5
so then our relationship starting picking back up i would see her whenever i came home on breaks and we would hang out and have a good time. until this year kayla and jeremy broke up and jeremy kicked her out of their house. so kayla started hanging out with the wrong crowd, doing more dangerous drugs and taking out payday loans to support her habits. i tried to help her out get her back on track until she asked me to lie for her so she could get another loan, she wanted me to pretend that i was her mother and say that i agree to pay if kayla cannot. i had to draw the line there. i know they record those phone calls and i don't need to help kayla commit fraud or something so i told her no. she got pissed at me and told me how bad of a friend i am and on and on. 6
that didn't make me mad what did was when she went to my house trying to con my mom out of money for drugs. she knows my mom would give her anything she needed and she also knows that my mom cant afford to give her money but would because she loves kayla. and kayla was using this against her. to me it was like she was taking food money from my younger siblings. things also went missing from my house whenever kayla was there things like IPODs and Cd players. 7
lately i have been getting alot of calls from Rent a Center saying that kayla put me down as a reference and they need to get a hold of her. so i am sure she rented some things then pawned them for money.i miss her so much but i cant do what she wants me to. i wont help her hurt herself anymore i wont drive her around as she smokes Oxycontin through tin foil. i cant be that person she wont let me help her and i wont give her the "help" or "favors" that she wants, i cant.8
