We al have stories that we can tell of some pretty bad breakups and how they're hard to get over. This year has felt like me and my best friends have concord the world when it comes to guys. When it comes to who your friends fall in love with you can't do anything but support them while they're falling for the guy and be the shoulder to cry on when everything goes absolutely wrong. Not so long ago right before school ended my one best friend was falling in love with a guy who had a girlfriend, he thought nothing of it but them being best friends. When she realized he wasn't going to break up with his girlfriend and she wasn't going to be able to talk to him over the summer it broke her heart. My best friend and this guy went from spending and talking 24/7 with each other to barely exchanging one text a day. Knowing that the guy let her fall in love with him for as long as she was makes me upset but at the same time my friend knew what she was doing. So my job as a best friend is to

1. Be the shoulder she can cry on

2. Keep her busy and her mind off the guy

3. Never let her fall for a guy with a girlfriend again

My break up this year is a completely different story which probably took my friends to hell and back. This year during spring break me and my other half ended our relationship of almost two years, I was a complete wreck and with out my best friends I couldn't have gotten through spring break or those first couple of months with out them. My relationship didn't end badly it hurt a lot when it happened but we both saw it coming it was just a matter of time when it was going to happen and who was going to end the relationship. After we broke up and I bawled my eyes out for a couple of hours I called my best friend and she told me everything was going to be okay. When we got back on campus after break she was there with me every step of the way by keeping me busy an my mind off of my ex. Me and my ex are still best friends and I can go to him about pretty much anything but when the break up first happened I'll admit I did hate him for being the one to end it. The moral of the story is you can't help who you fall in love with, your heart just simply picks someone and is like you're going to love this person for now, but when you choose to love that person and you let them break down the walls that surrounds your heart you expect that person to take care of it and never break it. When your heart does get broken though there's not better people to surround yourself around then with your best friends.
