Things Fall Apart

They say nothing lasts forever, but I thought our friendship would. My best friend, Jessica,and I were inseparable ever since we were kids. Since we lived on the same street, she came over every day. She was like a little sister to me. We've been best friends for eight years. Jessica was tall and skinny. She has short black hair with a caramel complexion. We never had an argument in all the time we've known each other. As we got older, Jessica started to change; she started lying to me about things. I knew she was lying to me because the things that she would say to me wouldn't make sense - one minute she would say one story and the next minute she would change her story. For example she would describe her Friday night at the mall and the next she was talking about a party she went on Friday. Which one was it? We went from being around each other all the time and talking on the phone everyday for hours to not speaking for days at a time. During our eight year friendship, this had never happened before. Things were definitely changing. On Jessica's birthday, I went to her house to celebrate her birthday when none of her so-called friends showed up. But when it was my birthday, she couldn't do the same for me. She had so many excuses as to why she couldn't come. I just felt like she was being selfish, and the Jessica that I knew in the past would of been there for me like I was for her. I go over our fight again and again in my head thinking about the hurtful things we said to each other. Should I try to make up with with her or was she just bringing me down ? From this experience I've learned that people change. This situation has changed me because now I don't trust people, It takes a while before I can trust someone. I also learned not to tell anyone my personal business even if I've known them for a while because if we get in a argument they can always tell people the things I've told them in confidence or they could throw it back in my face.
