“Sorry for leaving you behind, not being there when you needed me.” Why is he suddenly deciding to be all nice to me? I set the Bunsen up and separate the materials. “It’s okay,” I tell him. “It’s not. I’m your best friend, and I left you when things got tough.” I’m used to it, I want to say. I’m used to Jamie ignoring situations when things get tough or hard to speak about. Now I’m trying not to accept his crappy behavior.
