“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”.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT7mfMyEXM

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncpc5DYlJL

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3vXvwYMbZ

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHhlrx7czg

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7DcgVLlLR

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6r19kIiTp

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBTbvyhZi1

“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!?”

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNjqdtmN1G

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6LS8ECMOh

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkLM50gen3

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGbJqzt8W

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwV66m7Z4w

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMLWm3x2i

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVmpA28cAo

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5t6jsSTDK

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7X9HkhuuK

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL95o9GpAM

“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!”

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LOs6AMhRj

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTrPszZK8v

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRGEUt5pUC

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbbdRnqH5E

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULx6toBFSP

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCgIyAqol

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9AdCepnhY

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hsUmLqEnT

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7U77wIoPt

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9PrZHFlAc

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAzQIkvmkO

“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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrkNpd8CA

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF9LYJwLv0

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn08ouBFmp

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrCfz905Cf

Silence.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacedcAjgd

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ddGaUVUlJ

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzAdOPnCqE

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uzic6r1X4

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLczHUQysad

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGiNMiqQEI

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIQUUQVZ8x

“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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxVpd7gVE

“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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6eXSoG8Yq

Nothing came up.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteAuEyjbAu

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJScCBatAd

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hg8F8PgmH

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgcgjXLoA

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Rp6Om3wT

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz2XPK0LSK

“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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAHnaDT3uf

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7svkgYoxzX

“What have I done?”
