A friend, A silver lining?

My best friend. Gone. Then my courage allows it back. We were non influenced teens. He fell in with a different Crowd and started liking different things. This wasn’t so bad but we drifted more and more over time. I got the balls to come out and say what was up. Then I’m told that his newer friend introduced him to a girl, he lost his v card, she fucked around with his head and he slipped into depression. With which his friend got him to smoke weed… Though you wouldn’t think it from the outside, knowing him for so long I wouldn’t believe these things had anyone else told me but him. We skyped for like an hour and next week should be hanging out. This makes my depression easier as I hope. I don’t know… I thought I knew him… So damn well! I guess not…
