“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”.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UenpmNQAd

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0LHZeJVg2

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmUmGBWMS

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fshfy8RW6

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjviIrpggr

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDWMTDsKCj

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjKd5e6wbq

“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!?”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6AK8nIvd

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOF8eQKCgv

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsvkYUuyQB

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZgDQSfEKo

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp8X1Crny0

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJxq3EvCof

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGCsmFSaKM

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlBKa2WHv

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe860tzbuP

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBQQJH0ggp

“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!”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4R0TQBlfP

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KIN9WfV85

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ518TKTtRLN

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRQrAOTrQ

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrQzGjt0Iy

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUBZ5lvZFw

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAUW4rIvWf

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR67ff37I8

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9JfljRYk

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3XG4LE1l

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPi7VSUkXH

“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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6zEVGfrQG

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFITCDIuQCN

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1itQ93dX

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRqxBNbTw1

Silence.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSpj8fsEg

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jj6ZYUYib

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbIUWWysDK

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJJORPMKNX

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOvFjRrPUe

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbMvPb5QcZ

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQouVj6rwrp

“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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZdgDhPFT

“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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgoy7IcnTG

Nothing came up.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O4SpFWDY2

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b7v9xtSBd

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavX2HTMzfu

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvvjWcgEWI

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ZZowY8gW

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCzvlbbfyH

“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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgPmcklusQ

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

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC78UX7OT31

“What have I done?”
