I never really had any friends like my new best friend, but I loved it, and I realized that is how real best friends should be.

I also did not feel as if I was losing anything because I had my best friend that was like family. Soon we acquired a third friend, and we became the three musketeers. I realized that the people I called my friends were never really my friends. Now I had much better friends that actually cared about me, and would do anything for me, just like I would do anything for them. To this day all three of us are still close, and we all call my mom,

    About a year or two years ago I wasn’t friends with the greatest people and I just went with whatever they said we should do, I would tell my parents I was going one place and go somewhere else, lie about what we did that night, etc. I always felt guilty about what we had done but because I had fun I pushed the guilt aside and just ignored the feeling and continued to do whatever I pleased.
