When we began
In 2020
There were six
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy, Andrew
We all lived nearby
But we weren't as close
Before everything came crashing down
We started to meet up daily
To me
It was a way of coping
Through the miserable isolation
When we fought
In 2020
There were five
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy
The light we found was fading
Andrew started to drift away
We were glad
He had his moments
Where he was sweet
But those moments
Came less often
Until he parted ways
Leaving us with five
When we remained inseparable
From 2020
To 2022
There were five
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy
Closer than ever before
Hope could be held in our hands
Even in the darkest times
We found light
In the darkest corners
We started writing
The Mysteries Of Wivera
To me
Writing was an escape route
A way to forget
The pain within
We created a bond
That would leave us at five
For a long time
When we almost drifted away
In 2022
There were six
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy, Thalia
A new member
Was just what we needed
It sparked a new beginning
Of constant writing
When we had too many
In 2022
There were seven
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy, Thalia, Alicia
One of my worst decisions
Was bringing Alicia
To the group
Far worse than Andrew
She leaked information online
About our unpublished novel
She never treated anyone right
It took us months
To see through her lies
Now we are the perfect group
From 2023
Till the end of time
There are six
Abbie, Ellie, Lucy, Anna, Andy, Thalia
We banned Alicia from The Mysteries Of Wivera
And called her out for everything she did
The list of her actions was long
But now we’re closer than ever before
We’ve traveled a long road
And faced a few impediments along the way
But we have found a perfect group
Forever to stay.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friendships, each in its own way, but happy you found your people -- especially people you can grow creatively with! You revealed nothing about it but I admit I'm intrigued by the sound of The Mysteries of Wivera, just from the title alone. I want to know more! Is it a collection of short stories, a fantasy novel? I hope you can post a preview for us sometime!
Thanks! The Mysteries Of Wivera is a fictional series that all six of us have been working on for almost four years now. It's really complex (when I introduced Thalia to the group it took me six hours to explain the book series lol) but here's a basic summary of book one:
On a land called Wivera, there are 9 so-called 'societies' (or groups). The two most powerful are at war, each of the two having the other Societies as their allies. It is mainly told from the perspective of a lone girl who does not belong to any Society, and happens to stumble upon the territory of Night Society. They generously take her in. She learns the ways of her new Society and finds friends, but she can't let go of her past. Will she learn to let go, or will the gaping wounds of her past experiences bleed forever?
Unfortunately, I cannot explain the ending of book one because it has dark themes and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable with the content, so I left it on a cliffhanger.
