Day # 1 My Best Friend

Dear Alice,

Yeah, after all this time you are still my best friend. We don't talk as much as I would like and we see each other maybe a few times a year but for some reason that doesn't matter. Whenever we get back together we pick up right where we left off. We can still finish each other's thoughts. we an still make each other laugh until we cry. And we can still talk all day and night long without being bored. Most important though is that there have been no times in our lives when we haven't been there for each other. Ever since 8th grade at Chelsea school we have been friends. We have supported and loved each other. Even when we didn't agree or like the choices the other was making.

You were there at the football game when I first realized something was wrong with my relationship with Isaac. And I was there when your last boyfriend was showing all the signs of being a jerk. I am here now too. I wish I could tell you that I worry about you and why.

I worry because you dropped out of school. I know it was expensive and you couldn't afford vet school. There had to be some way you could have continued going though. I worry because of Jeremy. I know you trust him but I don't. He has proven in every past relationship that he can't be trusted and that makes me worry about you, about your heart. I worry about your future. I hope you will not be stuck working at AC More and place like it your whole life. I want you to fulfill your dream of being a vet. I know it seems unrealistic but it only becomes more unrealistic the more you put off working towards it. I want you to be with a boy that gives you no reason to worry, who takes away all of your worries. I want you to have a job you love, a man you love and a life you love.

You seem to be so angry and frustrated when we talk. I wish you could see that the stupid girls, and their drama would go away if you let the cause of the drama go. Jeremy is the reason all that drama is in your life. I know you can do better. I know you deserve better. I wish he could be the man you think he can be but I just don't see it. And the proof is in front of your eyes. It is why those girls lurk around waiting for you two to end so they can sweep in.

I love you Alice Casey. You are my best friend. I hope someday you find everything you are looking for.

Love,
Dani
