“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”.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgyQsh6mmz

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtyOp9KqsN

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqyv8zPZDj

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuwHtEe4IR

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9Wt5dzNA

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NuMCJwqHw

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9WvxyDBa

“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!?”

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ml9mRp8fG

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85yXpa14jh

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmtaJrdfbX

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8QGUpViN

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyhncw1bD5

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnCiQvzAIF

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdUegwRDdM

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Bfeq7FrE

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW28UcUX4e

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9owmyoKBU

“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!”

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA4GEh20Pj

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh8rqyw9AK

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdejWjp9hi

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdyPN3Fb98

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeZcbVYFEL

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80oKGKGf9m

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XFjqmlgGM

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK47SOt9jt

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh09aCcUaV

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSmrzcUl3u

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMKPEo2Mcz

“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.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZkitQdRW

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWvYRMUQkK

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnF88RR3D

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4riOE4nsXR

Silence.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWri4mkLQMx

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Wuu9ogoY

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkQ04x4RPs

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioNOkqwXUj

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs5h6FxtCR

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEG87uEQ2N

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vDsoVzuSg

“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.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZGUyQ93WE

“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.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmPb5HFkJd

Nothing came up.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIG8dWGdlJ

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl2ujKX3Dw

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnoelWDNJl

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHL0sg52Dt

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPxsh7Eme7

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijBZHOVmAF

“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.

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRwZD9l3a

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

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IrdeQcENP

“What have I done?”
