My friend kind of disappeared on me. We started out by dating, and it was great for the most part. We did decide to just be friends after a while, but then we were actually friends and it was so nice. We lived near each other, and would get together at least like once a week for the last few months. It was usually pretty casual, like we'd get coffee or work out together or he'd come over for dinner. Sometimes we'd end up spending the whole weekend together tho. It was honestly so nice having a friend like across the street, it's been years since I've had that.

He has family living in a different state, and visited them over the holidays. The day he flew out, we got breakfast at some diner he likes and then I drove him to the airport. That was the last time I heard from him. I expected him to be busy with family and stuff, and I wasn't to surprised not to hear from him at first. I did ask him how the trip was going a couple of times. Anyway, know it's been a month and I haven't heard a thing. None of my friends who know him have heard anything either. He hasn't posted anything to social media in a while either. The trip was supposed to be over by now I thought.

I reached out to one of his friends, who I don't know as well. I think I fucked that up tho. Like I was way too direct in asking about him and I think I weirded her out. I should have been smarter, but I was just worried.

I mean he doesn't owe me anything, but it would be nice to have a little closure. Like I have no idea what happened. Did he not feel the same way about the just friends thing? Or did he just decide he didn't have time for me for other reasons? Or did he decide to stay with his family and not come back, which wouldn't surprise me that much honestly. Or is something wrong? I feel like I'm never gonna know and it sucks.
