The Best of Friends?

Tonight I went to see some old friends who live in a town close to us. We have not seen or spoken to this family in several years and I guess they just decided to get together and catch up on things. They originally lived on my street and moved about five years ago. They have a daughter who is Rachel's age, a daughter who is Ryan's age, and a son who is my age. Their son and I used to play together all the time when we were little, but we grew apart when he moved away. He'd been my friend for a long time, in fact, he was my very first friend and we were inseparable. When I went to see him tonight, I was very excited to see him. I wanted so badly to catch up on things and talk to him like we used to. When I walked in, I saw a stranger sitting next to him. I found out right then and there that he had a girlfriend that he had been going out with for 2 years. I found that as the night drifted on, I was not going to get the chance to talk with him the way I wanted to, just like old times, best friends. He ignored me and didn't say ten word to me the whole night. Instead, he hung out with his girlfriend and avoided any conversation. I know that I should've been a little more social and chatted with them both, but it was very awkward with a lot of silence. I came to see him and talk to him, not listen to him and his girlfriend giggle in the basement. She was very nice, but was it necessary for her to be there when we came to see them for the first time in three years? She just didn't belong there at the time, it was just strange and kind of rude. I don't think I'll ever get to talk to him seriously and the way I want to ever again. I can't believe this.
