(This is my first ever reddit post so bare with me)

I have a lot of people who add me on Snapchat, and every single time someone would add me on Snapchat i would always say "hiii" just as a kind gesture towards others. Instead of getting a "Hi" back or even a "Hey hru" type of text, anyone that added me always asks "Wyll" (which means what you look like) I would show them a picture of me or tell them to go to my public page because that's where I had all pictures of myself, and then they would either unadd or block me right after, it was typical to say the least, until this one person added me on Snapchat. His name was Reiley, and we wasn't like these other people who would add me, we actually had a full blown conversation with each other. We both talked about what our favorite Taylor Swift songs were, how our days has been, ETC.

One day, I snapped a picture of my TV with Fortnite on it because me and him were going back and forth snapping each other. He then says in all caps saying "YOU PLAY FORT????" and "PLEASE PLAY WITH ME" and that's exactly what we did on a random February night until at least 2 in the morning. We both exchanged numbers so that way we can call on the phone because neither of use voice chat, and we won so many rounds back to back.

After we were both done playing Fortnite one day, I asked if we can possibly sleep on the phone together because he did mention that his ex girlfriend used to do that all the time with him and that he misses doing it, and he said yes. Before we fell asleep, we both were watching the insane clips that we took during our Fortnite matches, and then we started talking more deeper about our lives. Within that one conversation, we started to grow a bond in a way and started to call every night and play Fortnite every night, until it stopped.

I texted him one day because I had a rough day with work, and asked if I can call him for a few minutes just to rant to him about something, no response. I just thought in my head "oh he is probably busy" but then it was ghost silent for two days, until he texted back and said "i’m so sorry i passed tf out after i was gaming with my friends earlier" to me, I didn't really mind it because everyone has other friends so I could care less and I told him "oh my goodness it’s ok!!!", then it became more transparent that he started to ghost me. Anytime I would just text him "Hi" or just simply say "How are you doing today?" complete silence. So then I completely just lost it and sent him this text, saying:

"it’s sorta (not) funny how you ask me if i’m up at like 4 in the morning and then when i ask you what’s up because you were the first text i see today, you leave me on delivered, reiley i’m not going to keep playing this bullshit game of weather or not your going to respond to me because i’m done sitting here and waiting just for one response from you. it gets me genuinely frustrated because i want to be friends with you and get to know you better, but now i just feel like i’m being ghosted, i’m not sure if i did something wrong when i slept with you and just ranted to you about all the trauma I've been through, or even just check up on you to see if you were ok. or even just to ask if you wanted to play Fortnite. i’ve gave up reiley, i gave up on even trying and just resorted to sending streaks with you, because that’s what everyone that i just want to be friends with does to me nowadays. and when you said “i'm so sorry, you deserved so much better than the way i treated you honestly” well yes reiley, because i wanted a friendship from someone that i thought would get me for once. i miss the friend that said “YO WASSUP” or even when i would just ask how has your day been and you would just respond and we would just have a simple but a good conversation to make sure that we were both ok, but now he’s just sending streaks and ghosting me just like fucking everybody else. so thanks."

To end this post, I know that friendships don't last forever, I've learned that the hard way with one of my ex best friends that I was friends with for at least three years. But this one hits different simply because I thought that he was different compared to every single other person that has added me on Snapchat. but he's just like everybody else in my opinion. So AITAH?
