“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”.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOZBGwaFNm

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygOBxTm8Y

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudaF0m80Z5

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzup65QoS3

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLN9VGk1AV

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FvsOPFlzC

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eysdDKKBF

“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!?”

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRMIQTYwR9

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZ3LHUZwu

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVECY6InH3U

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhHALCLrZP

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ccZGnNSJ

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIPpnLCycN

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnfX03M0f6

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe2yIUkruO

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03O7DxahY4

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jXhGL5QZt

“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!”

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoav46Fu9j

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUh0m42QYX

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNLngQ8ThB

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC5SoTpZ78

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLrilbJU87

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg5wbUqP9N

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnHXPiUC7T

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBFRUBRZpQ

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI4N3jX59d

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQVgrolhWz

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbhURjAROD

“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.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWq1I4ovxa

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwsLZae7Ce

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuohEQ8NJXm

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o5uCcpIWQ

Silence.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9HiyQAxSp

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoratY7ghZj

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInZ5BHAT8

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8XhGvT7vs

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2csJUD1BMy

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX51P5Toeq

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI9CTKxNUg

“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.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6M1oJIuW

“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.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSXEsZeyo

Nothing came up.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8OmDRcwTJ

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHzvkVQqL

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdIuSFxYJz

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nUseH3M9j

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyoi6ECO6h

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6WwWJ0G1

“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.

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3B1d7AyGS

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

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxMNLApB1z

“What have I done?”
