also, my turning point in what you should do was the same for yours. it was nice to see her stick up for you! that, to me, shows that she truely is sorry and truely wants a friendship with you. you were still mad at her, she knew that, but still she cared enough to stick up for you. that deserves a forgiveness i believe, and obviously you agreed.

i was upset that she said that you were doing the same thing to her that she did to you. that is not true at all! however, do not let that ruin your new found friendship.

good luck in the future! it is nice to see you have stronger friendships with others around you. keep it that way, it is important. i hope this never ever happens, but if char leaves you again and you pulled the strong bonds away from the others, if you tried to come back, they may view that negitively like you are using them (which would not be the case but still).

anyways, again, glad it worked out and good luck in the future!!!
