You're bummed out and feel totally confused about what's going on. You write her a letter and explain your feelings, giving her one more chance to make things right with you.

You are hurt by your friend, but you decide to just let it go and find a new best friend. clearly you misjudged your friend in the first place, so maybe she's not all that.
