Friends are like roses they are beautiful and gentle, but will cause pain in the process of defending themselves

I once have this close friend, let's call her Chanel. I met her in a party,she's this charming and bright lady, outgoing and friendly. At least that's how she portrayed herself way back.We did not contact each other right after the party, not until we met up again by chance on the second time and found out that she is living near my area and we often met up for lunch or movie since I can drive her.

It started out pretty well, at one point we were very close, because one of mr17's friend had a crush on her.. and eventually mr,17, his friend, chanel and me turned out to be the closest friend. We always went on a double date and hung out really late, and at the end of the day I would have her stay over my place, because we had so much to talk about. From breakups to new romance, from love to blog, from food to fashion. And I thought, "I'm so glad that I finally found someone who shares the same interest as i do. Another sister!"

Long enough after me and her got together, I found out that I've been used. I've been a fool in front of her marvelous acting skills. Or may be she wasn't even acting.. she changed, perhaps? She loves attentions, she started to indulge herself in the lime light, losing herself over fame. She is different, not genuine anymore. No longer the girl I know.

From "staying over my house for pillow talk" to "staying over my house because of her curfews", from "You'll definitely be my made in honor" to "I don't think bff ever exist", from "Hey, let's dolled up and attend together" to "I'm sorry, I can't bring you along."Things changed, I tried to mend it.. but what I got at the end of the day is "O.. I thought you dialed wrong number"

I had a great dilemma before removing her from my friend list, before letting this new found sisterhood fades. I put in too much, and damn it for my stupidity in being so thrilled and believe what we had was genuine. Damn it! I thought what she need is someone who will remind her of what mistakes she made, someone who will be there for her when she's down. But end up, all she need is events, fame, and she enjoys better with a male companion. That's how things changed.

Anyway, it has been quiet awhile since I heard from her. It was her birthday few days ago.. and I was just thinking what we promised earlier on going to a trip together on our birthday month.

As fast as we became friends we come to notice how much faster we can lose each other...how much more friends you become friends with...even the ones you never think you will...Remember the good times we all have together because time and reality is moving fast and the reality is some of us will never see each other again and some will...but even though we'll all change we'll all remember the times we had together and all the times we said best friend still the end.

PS: Happy belated birthday..
