Letting Go: A One-Shot Video

"When are you finally going to get over him?" She had done it again and I, of course, was getting sick of it. I was now reconsidering being her friend. I was just so tired of hearing the same old story. I couldn't take much more of this. Can you blame me for not wanting to hear her constant whining?

I stared at her as she suddenly stopped plucking the strings of her acoustic guitar. She looked up at me with that face. I knew what it meant. Here we go again. Now she's going to try and defend herself. "I am over him, Alyssa." I refrained from rolling my eyes. She is such a liar.

I simply turned away as she continued to play her guitar. She started to hum and this time, I couldn't help the roll. Now here she goes again. She's going to write out her feelings and it's going to be just like her last fifteen lyrics: secret references and tiny insults and "in-your-face's." How fun.

She got dumped. It happens to people all the time. Why can't she just get over him? I hate how she acts that she's totally fine without him when she probably dreams of marrying him all the time. And she thinks that people actually buy her lies. I shook my head. She's not that good an actress.

My cell phone vibrated and I looked down. It was him. Yeah, I still talked to him and maybe I shouldn't since she hates him yet loves him but he's cool. He's an awesome friend. I opened the text message. 'Saw what she did.'
Of course he did. She made it completely obvious. 'Sorry. She's insane.'
I suppressed a laugh when I got his text. 'Yeah, I know. I dated her. Those were the dark ages.'
'Don't know what you were thinking.'
'Me either. Was I drunk when I asked her out?'
I snickered. 'You might as well have been.'
'Lol, good one. I don't know what to do about her.'
I shook my head. 'Don't even try. She's a lost cause.'
'Don't wanna sound rude but why are you still friends with her?'
I thought about it for a while and tried to remember the reason. I came up with nothing. 'I honestly have no clue.'
'I'm sorry then. I feel for you.'
'Me, too.'

I honestly could not find a good reason to still be her friend. Ever since the break-up, she had become the most annoying thing on the planet. I couldn't stand to be around her. When we were together, she'd find a way to bring him up or refer to him in some way. Yes, it was horribly annoying.

I was getting tired of being around her and it was killing me. The sad thing was that I couldn't stop being friends with her. I didn't have the courage. I just kept hoping that this was a stage and she would soon break out of it. I had learned disappointment quickly. She simply would not change.

His words were still in my head. Why was I still friends with her? I shouldn't be. She's acting like a baby and she doesn't see it. I have tried to tell her but she denies that she's even thinking about him. Again, such a liar. Maybe I should just forget about her. She's too self-absorbed anyways.

She was still sitting on her bed, strumming the guitar. I looked down at my phone and saw that I had a text from him. Must not have felt the vibration. I opened my phone. 'Are you on her side?'
I pursed my lips. 'Not really. Her side isn't fun. She has been overreacting too much. And she won't shut up about you.'
'Does she always talk about me?'
'Yes but she denies it.'
"Who are you texting?" Her voice surprised me and I looked up in shock.
"A friend."
She saw through me quickly. "Are you texting him? Are you actually talking to my ex-boyfriend behind my back?!"
"Why does it matter?"
"What do you mean? He dumped me! How can you still want to talk to that creep?"
I couldn't take it. Everything I had held in was starting to blurt out my mouth. "You only say that because he dumped your pathetic ass. He's actually a great guy. I don't know why he was stupid enough to date you."
"What?! How dare you say any of these things? I thought you were my friend!"
"And I thought you were mine until you reacted like a lunatic to the break-up. Can you just give it a rest? Nobody likes hearing your constant bitching! He dumped you for a reason. Any other guy would have done the same. Scratch that. Every guy has done the same!"
The look on her face was anger. But I was through caring. "I can't believe you, Alyssa."
"I couldn't believe you either but eventually, I had to. You know what?" I started gathering my things into my purse. "When you decide to get over him and start acting like a real person, then we can talk. But for now, get a life."

I walked away. We never spoke to each other again. That's what happens when you get too hung up on the past: you lose the people around you. I was glad to have her gone. But I was sorry about one thing. I was sorry that she was never able to see her mistakes before it was too late. It's good to welcome change sometimes. But she wasn't one to be letting go.

jonasgirl233: Now why does this remind me of Taylor Swift? Ha, I hate that bitch.

GotUDazed: Ahh this brings many memories... Ugh thank god they are over. I have been through this a couple of times unfortunately. Very well-written, I honestly couldn't find the error. Maybe because I was too into the story. Loved it anyways. When don't I love anything you write, haha. Great job. =)

cutierose1234: I, fortunately, have not been in this predicament. Thank god! This reminded me of someone in the beginning. You should know who I'm thinking about. I'm even not sure if you intended it to be or not. Haha This was amazingly written...as always. I just looked at jonasgirl233 comment and I just have to say, I agree. She never lets her relationships lie...and plus, I hate that bitch. Haha. You should do more of these particular one-shots. They relate to so many people, it's unreal! :D Love you!

xxlilxxkweenxx: You're such an amazing writer! I LOVE all the One-Shots you do! This one's relatable but I havent ever been through it, thank god. You should do more of this kind of One-Shots.

Shay081793: Am I the only person who TOTALLY thought the girl was Taylor Swift? Or based on her? Or her but with a different name? Like, this to me, was Taylor. Period. Anyhoo. Even though the girl might've been a horribly annoying pain in the ass, and self absorbed and stuff, I still thought Alyssa was a little harsh. But I guess I don't know enough to judge...

iffy66: love it

gioiaxpianogirlx: This happens oh so often to me. All the stupid whining about boys. It's always the same old story. Luckily for me, most of my friends get over themselves quick enough before I get the urge to kill them. I think everyone has been in one of these situations or will be in one some day. It sucks. But yeah, sometimes you just have to let go... Brilliant one-shot once again. You're really good at these things!
