It's been five years...
(Sorry if this doesn't belong here delete if needed mods I just needed to type this out)
Five years since I last spoke to you or saw you, but today by surprise you found me on Facebook. Though the thought occurred to me why hadn't this happened before? We had plenty of friends in common and even after HS we kept up conversations. Then one day you just disappeared, maybe its because you knew you had made a decision I wouldn't approve of, but thats just it I accepted you and had accepted you the four years we droned away in that bleak high school building. I was even there when your abusive boyfriend left you, your first pregnancy scare, when your dad came home drunk and so on. So what could it have been? I though accepting your request, then I saw it. The first thing I saw was how tired you looked, how warn out and dry you looked. You use to take such pride in your make up and your hair, it was always so perfect along with your huge welcoming smile. But your smile wasn't the same this time, next to you was him, your abusive ex. You were married and your profile photo was a family photo. You had two children... a four year old girl and a 8 month old son. You had just gotten married right after having your son. You were a stay at home mom now, what happened? You wanted to be a baker you went to school for it and you were actually amazing at it. Now you are married to the man who hit you because he got you pregnant, and worse he's in the army and being deployed. I can't imagine how alone you feel, you didn't want to have kids young, you always said you were going to go to school, get a good job, get married and then have kids. You wanted to prove your family wrong and not be like your mother... As I sit here I understand why you disappeared and I feel for you as your friend I so badly wanted these things for you as well, but now you don't have them... my heart breaks for you.
