“I’m sorry Nieva but I can’t be friends with you any longer” Nia spoke with a grave expression as she faced Nieva under the Sakura tree.

For a second hurt flashed through Nieva’s eyes before being replaced by amusement.

“Ha Ha Ha, funny joke Nia, you actually almost had me there”. Nieva giggled “Now c’mon let's go to that cool new coffee shop that just opened down the street”.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHu3EdcG9X

“You really think this is a joke!?” Nia snapped back as anger slowly filled her body.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgplO7zJS

“It is, isn't it?” Nieva replied, getting slightly anxious.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVN4dkZ5TH

“No it’s not!, this is not a joke” Nia answered back “Now, I must get going before I cause a scene”.

As Nia was about to walk away she heard...

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUka8LjQFOE

“So you’re really going to do this for real huh?” Nieva spoke just above a whisper

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINUqsAW6S

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4OEo3eZiL

“After everything we’ve been through?” Nieva voiced louder. “I’ve been your friend for years and now you decide to cast me down like a piece of garbage!?”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ho6CCSC5V

This time it was Nievas turn to get angry. “I’ve comforted and helped you through your hard times!”.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0vDSbDwbk

“Without me you would be nothing and you know it” Nieva hissed but within seconds instantly regretted what she said.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPC1AEapva

“How could you say that!?” Nia spoke in a hushed tone, pain in her eyes

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNlfeVSqkT

“No,no,no I didn’t mean it like that!” Nieva responded

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHofviapfD

“Then what did you mean it as!” and just like that Nia exploded with anger like a cork of a wine bottle.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUl1btK0an

“S-sorry” Nieva murmured. “Wait a minute, why am I the one apologizing!?”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4gjTecko

“You’re the one who dragged me into this!” Nieva accused in defense

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj5xT2OWUL

“There you go, always placing the spotlight on you!” Nia screamed in aggravation. “Always pretending that you’re the victim!”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLTpeN2NJ

At this point, rage was basically pouring out of Nia like a waterfall.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeWh4XEQ26

“There has never been one single time you’ve been with me through my hard times, I was always the one helping you through your petty little tears!”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hWQyVOoE

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd1mjmyGqb

“No! I'm done listening!” Nia felt infuriated. “It’s time for you to finally start listening to me!”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewL9OFUOjV

By this time Nia was screaming at the top of her lungs, not caring that there was a crowd gathering around them.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRnu7SJsU9

‘You need to calm down Nia, there's no point in wasting your breath on a person like her’ Nia thought to herself

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjGa5nB0Rw

“Who was the one who comforted you when you got rejected?, I did” Nia hissed bitterly.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4hhUJSzLD

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOTgyr038U

“Who was the one who carried your bike all the way to your house when it was basically raining dumbbells?, I did”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn6RZM7CRh

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbYDf4OLB9

“Who was the one who spent weeks looking for your dog when it went missing?, It.was.me”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu0gTdaaks

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaslMVrLB

“To be honest it was always me and I didn’t even get an insignificant little ‘thanks’ ” Nia finally said, trying to end the painful conversation.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY11FRrriw

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHoCbOY6D

She was trying to figure out a way to save her friendship.

“But I came to your fathers funeral when he passed away” Nieva eventually said, hoping that the statement would fix everything.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDNIh8jJu

Silence.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluM0hfzeYX

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvteeWEzG5

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE8jR8hqgh

“Shut up!, SHUT up!, SHUT UP!” Nia screeched, shattering the silence into a million fragmented pieces.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJa3qTJeFW

“You don’t get to talk about my father!” Nia exclaimed. “No, not after what you did or should I say didn’t do?”

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncmJsizFQ9

“What do you mean?” Nieva questioned with a confused expression.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjOSxtU4NM

“What do I mean?, What do I mean!?” Cried Nia.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPS3KzsnhF

“I mean that you never showed up to my fathers funeral, even after he treated you like his own daughter, heck you might have even called him your own father!” Nia continued, tears streaming down her face.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKHP1iPoA0

“W-what do you mean, I was there wasn’t I?” Nieva responded, raking through her brain trying to find the memory when she came to the funeral.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhJs0hzkGu

Nothing came up.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8u8tAId3

“No you weren’t, instead you went on a shopping spree while I was mourning” Nia answered with a spiteful expression.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFz8RTGOt

“That was the day I lost faith in you” Nia said with a stern but slightly sorrowful expression.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqFayx3pc8

Nieva staggered back, finally feeling the weight of what she had done .

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9bU43T1P

“Wait!, please don’t leave me!” Nieva responded, desperate to salvage what was left of her broken friendship.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QZCLfHSKl

“I-I can change, I can be a better friend… just please don’t leave me” tears also streaming down her face.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7S444ejxe

“I’m sorry but you’ve lost your chance of apologizing a long time ago, the damage is already done” Nia laughed sorrowfully as she walked away from Nieva.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4LNR0jLno

Nieva fell on her knees, tears rolling down her face, hands pulling at her perfectly made hair, hyperventilating.

376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDCLRHtzDK

“What have I done?”
