I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   36   to look at each other． But we soon lost the   37    and started playing with each other． In the 7^th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”.   38  of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would   39   sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and   40   did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very   41_  at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend   42  deserted her. When people were calling her   43  , I knew I still   44   her like a sister．
Yesterday she came   45   me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was   46   I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting,  the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my   47   ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you   48   me． I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   49   me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never   50   your friends．
