Message From Tallie

Tallie finally contacted me. I'm both relieved and worried at the same time. At least I know where she is. Earlier today she called me and told me that she'd checked herself in to a mental hospital. This is basically what she said:

"Hey, [Silent], I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving. I'm sorry for everything.You’ve been a really good friend to me, and I know you wanted to help me. I guess you probably could have if I’d given you the chance. This has been going on for a while. I could see that you needed a friend, and I’m sorry that friend was me. You just seemed so lonely, and I couldn't help myself. This was inevitable, really. I won’t be here much longer. Sorry.  Just… be quiet... SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT WILL YOU? They won’t go away, [Silent]. They never will. I don't really have much of a choice anymore. Don’t forget that you’re a good person. Even if you don’t think so."

She didn't give me a chance to say anything. She just gave her speech and then hung up. I contacted the hospital right after she ended the call and made sure they understood her suicidal tendencies. They won't let me visit right now, because they're still doing some evaluations on her, but I'm hoping I'll be able to talk to her again soon.
