Someone I thought was my best friend hasn't answered my messages since spring. I asked how she was a couple of times but as I didn't receive an answer, I told her I'd give her time and space and not bother her anymore. All summer, I kep wondering what had happened, whether I'd said or done something to upset or hurt her - I got so worried something bad had happened to her that I checked her Facebook profile via my brother's account. She'd been joking around there like nothing was wrong.

A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't take the uncertainty anymore and decided to contact her one more time. Sent her an email asking directly why she'd suddenly cut off all contact. Haven't received a reply. I'm part furious she can't just be straight with me, part devastated over losing her - and part of me wants to let go and move on. Seriously, this isn't worth my time and energy - what the hell more could I do since she's completely ignoring me!!

But how do I let go when I'm still holding onto hope she'll answer.. Keep checking my email all the time and getting disappointed when there's nothing I have to stop this.
