Chapter 9

The next day was Liberty's day off. After much soul searching and internal arguing, she logged onto the computer in Victor's office. She hadn't been on Facebook since she'd come to the island. Other than the twice a week phone calls with her mother, she had no connection to her old life.

When her Facebook page came up, her heart squeezed. She had a message from Alyssa. They'd been best friends since third grade, until graduation night when Liberty had found her in bed with Cam. Liberty had lost a best friend and a boyfriend that night. Shortly after, she'd come to the island.

Funny how things had changed since then. Her heartbreak seemed so insignificant now, although she did miss Alyssa. They were like sisters. Liberty would never find another friendship like she had with Alyssa. She liked Bianca, and she'd made a few acquaintances since coming here that might lead to a close bond, but there was nothing like a lifelong best friend.

Liberty took a deep breath and began to read.

Liberty, I don't know what to say. I can't believe I'm even messaging you. I know you probably won't respond, but I had to reach out. I am so, so sorry for what I did. It was horrible and wrong, and I don't blame you for hating me. But I still love you. I miss you and I can't imagine never speaking to you again. Remember when we used to hang out at the arcade? I went there the other day and just sat and cried. Nothing is the same here without you. It sucks big time. I haven't even spoken to Cam since you left. We threw away something precious for one foolish mistake. You're the best friend a girl could have and I destroyed that. I hope your new life in paradise is as perfect as you deserve. One of these days, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I would love to speak to you... I would love to see you. Find out what you've been up to. Have you met a guy? Someone who treats you better than the a-hole Cameron? Haha, listen to me. I have a lot of room to talk. I hope you've found a better friend than I was to you.

Always your BFF,

Alyssa.

PS. I never take off my half of the friendship necklace. I would imagine you threw yours away. I don't blame you.

Tears were rolling down Liberty's cheeks by the time she finished the message. She wiped them away, but more took their place. In all the homesickness she'd suffered, none had been as severe as what she felt now. She wanted to see Alyssa, to share everything that had happened since she'd come to the island.

Alyssa was mistaken about the friendship necklace. Liberty had kept it, and in spite of what Alyssa had done, she cherished the keepsake—cherished their friendship. Her hurt and anger seemed foolish now. Yes, Alyssa had betrayed her, but everyone deserved a second chance.
