I’m Just A Call Away

I believe it was the end of my sophomore year and I had just wrapped up all of the remaining school work I had for all my classes in order to pass for the semester. I had passed them In and I ended up passing and I looked forward to the summer. I remember I was just sitting in my room starting the summer off right by playing some Fornite by myself when I remember getting a call from my friend Cameron. I could tell from his voice the moment he talked that he had just stopped crying, his voice was all cracky and he was mumbling his words. I asked him if everything was alright and he responds saying” My girlfriend broke up with me again, she says she lost feelings”. so we ended up talking about what happened and I let him vent on the phone to me for a while. he told me that he really loved her but she was so mean to him and she didn’t really care about his feelings at all. He said it seemed weird for the last few weeks they were dating because he could tell she was slowly trying to push him away. I tried to help him out and get is mind off of things so I let him spend the night at my house for a couple of days, I tried to make him forget she had broken up with him. So we went in the pool, went to the trampoline park, and we even went to get food. Things were starting to get a little better for him but he was still crying occasionally. After a few weeks went by of me trying to convince him that she wasn’t good for him he finally understood that it was good things ended with them. I wish he would have realized while they were dating that she was bad for him but he was so blind to it that he didn’t even see it. It’s like she would manipulate him and try to make him feel bad about something he did that wasn’t even a problem.After sometime when started to get over her and forget about their relationship, he started to feel like himself again. I was glad that I somehow got him back on track to the way things were before him and her. Like when we would play video games together and just spend more time together in general. That was the way we wanted things to happen during his relationship but he was spending most of his time with her instead of me which I didn’t enjoy very much. So when I got the phone call I didn’t know if I should be happy or sad because I knew it meant we would spend more time together now that they were broken up, haha. So I helped him in his saddest and toughest times just like I know he would do for me. And I’ll tell you its a good feeling when you know how to cheer you friend up and stop them from crying. He ended up just focusing on the better and we started getting in shape and his life has been back on track and better than ever. I think that what Cameron took away from this incident the most was that you shouldn’t keep yourself in a relationship if you keep thinking to yourself that it isn’t healthy for you to be in. Also I think he learned that you need to leave the girls that bring you down and stop you from reaching your goals because that is what she would do to him when he would try to do things like workout. She made her insecurities get into the relationship and cause them to stop Cameron from succeeding on what he strives for, which was to change his body for the better. He is a true friend just like I like to think I am a true friend to him, Cameron has also helped me out at a time where I needed it. Once again It was another girl problem but this time it wasn’t a relationship I was just talking to a girl who l I really liked, and we kind of talked for a bit. I took her to the dance and stuff and we were starting to get to know each other but the problem was, she was very shy and I was just too nervous to make any moves on her because I didn’t know if she felt the same about me and I didn’t want to mess things up so I kind of kept it in the friend zone and we ended up just slowly splitting apart and we eventually just stopped talking completely. And I was really mad at myself because I had just lost a chance with one of the girls I had a big crush on. So I was a little upset at myself for not manning up and confessing how I felt about her, I had wished I would have just told her that I really had feelings for her but I didn’t and I just couldn’t let myself be happy that I didn’t take my chance when I had it. So I told Cam about it and he told me that has happened to him before also and he just knew what to do to make me feel better about the situation and I eventually got over it and moved on.
