ONE love, blood, life
To give some background, I've been good friends with this one guy since we were 12 years old. We're now 20. He's a great guy, but I've never thought or want to think of him as anything other than a friend. He's had girlfriends, I've had boyfriends, and we've never given it second thought, or so I thought. We were talking one night last week, and he told he that he's liked me since 7th grade (when we met), but was always too nervous to tell me. I told him, you know I love you as a friend, but I'm just not interested in that way. He accused me of denying my feelings for him and we hadn't spoken since last Wednesday night. We both work at the same place, and I found out today when I went in to work that he had gotten fired over the weekend. I'm still not sure why. Then, another girl we both work with who is friends with him, told me that she had spoken to his mom and that he's in the hospital from an apparent suicide attempt. I feel so bad. I know he had other stuff that contributed to the problem (his dog who he's had since he was little died recently), he got fired, etc. But he was so upset about me not wanting to be with him that I know that's part of it. He wrote a note on Facebook on Saturday night that he called "The End" and he talked about how depressed he was about falling in love, losing his job, etc. I know this isn't really my fault, but, fuck, I feel like an awful person.
