I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was 38 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people．” 39 of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 41 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I 42 the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 43 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 44 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 45 ． I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 46 deserted her, when people were calling her 47 , but I knew I still 48 her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 49 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 50 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 51 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 52 me． I 53 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 54 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 55 your friends．
