Lizzie and Annie each tell their own side to their tumultuous friendship story.
‘Basically, I ghosted her’: Why I decided to cut off contact with my close friend Annie
“If you’d seen us hanging out at school, you’d have seen us in the art department snorting with laughter. It was a very establishment school, so being a bit arty, being a bit different, being a bit left wing, you slightly stuck out. We were, I suppose, kindred spirits. “I think that confidence of knowing who she was and being happy in her skin, I pushed that away because it was everything I wasn't.”
“Ann rumbled that there was something up because she wrote me a lovely letter to try and understand why I wasn't returning her calls and understand the rift in our friendship. I can remember being in the corner of my bedroom, reading the letter, and I remember feeling cornered, like I didn't have an answer. I didn't even reply to that letter.”
“I can remember going up the path thinking in a few seconds, I'm going to see someone I haven't seen for 20 years”, says Lizzie. “And I just remember the door opening and we both burst into tears. It was just very, very joyous.”
