In memory of my friend, a writer, a human, but mostly importantly, someone I loved.
Soooo my friend died of natural causes. I mean thats great really. not like i wanted to tell her a bunch of stuff next time I see her. or like wanted to go to the txt concert with her LIKE WE PLANNED AND LIKE I FUCKING BOOKED (TXT concert in london by the way). o i didnt go with her i thought she was just too ill to check her phone but actually she was dead.
and our lasts text to eachother was me being like 'broski dying' and her being like 'fr' and her being like 'hope i dont die before wednesday' and me being like call the gp tomorrow at 8am and ask for an emergency appointment because you need one, do not wait till wednesday.
and then she fucking goes and dies on Friday because friday was tomorrow and fuck sake I told her to go the hospital on thursday I told her to go i told her to just go but the doctors always fob her off and I told her to go to go to go and I wanted to tell her that I was switching to her course and I wanted to show her my new tattoos and I wanted to tell her eid mubarak today and I wanted to tell her so much. I wanted to tell her that she missed the txt concert and give her one of the banners that I got and I wanted to tell her that I managed to get new rats but she died before she even knew I found two new rats to get and I wanted her to meet my rats because she wanted to meet me rats and I wanted her to meet my rats. and I wanted to go to nandos again together and to write fanfic together and I wanted to celebrate her birthday because I wanted to and I wanted her to and I wanted our friendship group to meet again but they are always so busy and me and her would just hang out and be like man I wish the others would just miss their lessons and meet us because I missed my lecture and seminar to meet them and I wish we could hang out again because I didn't expect her to die because she had so many things I had so many things we had so many things we wanted to do and I wanted us to be friends forever.
because she was one of the first proper friends I made at university and I wanted us to graduate together. because we made friendship bracelets together and she bought be and then brought me posters for my accommodation room and because we baked cakes together and ate them together and sat around the table and ate them together as a friendship group and because I finally finally made a friendship group a group i always wanted to make and I wanted to make one because I never had proper friends before because nobody ever liked me or likes me and she liked me and she said
she said she liked listening to me talk and she liked it when I spoke and she liked to listen to me ramble and she didn't mind having a bulimic, self harming, suicidal bitchy friend with fried hair and hypocritical tendencies who liked to argue a lot and because she was my friend and I liked her eventhough sometimes i wouldnt understand her way of sympathy and I would complain to my mother but thats because I like to vent because im quick to hate but i didn;t actually hate her i loved her because she was my friend.
and now i have no friend that I can talk to. no friend i can vent to in an all-nighter. no friend I can TMI with about my health issues. No friend that I can show how an expensive fancy plaster that looks invisible works. NO friend that I can complain to about my therapy and my keyworker that takes 7-10 business days (exxageration because she takes more like two days minimum and 5 days maximum to reply) she's kinda bad at her job but thats okay because shes underpaid and busy). no friend that will listent o me talka bout food and how much I want to vomit my food out and how i purged every nandos meal we had together except that one time when i told her i do and so i didn't that one time.
and when gloria died and i self harmed she said i cant control it and its okay and thats the first time someone told me that. that it was okay. not 'be strong' or 'you havemore control that you think you do' but that its okay.
I have no friend who's favourite colour is yellow, who is bisexual, who hates the texture and taste and smell of oranges but like Fanta. who is good at digital art. Who writes fanfiction. who can read my work before i submit. who can do all nighters with me over text on whatsapp. who i can play draw together on roblox with. who i can play dress to impress on roblox with. who can be my friend.
no friend that hates AI. because truly she really hated AI. no friend who i can complain about anxiety too. where we can both be anxious. no friend that I can talk about english too. no friend no friend no more friends.
