“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.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtDxafdAeQ

“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”.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kio9moFV4

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kI8Sgpuyx

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFcyFgrsRJ

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxW0SnESEQ

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvJJhmRLv3

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZYRmZLMna

“What?” Nia turns around, confused

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPZMgUNT9l

“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!?”

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMNbgr9lhK

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bOk2K70hS

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOcjGWfPu

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6NBuKkP2

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW4BW1eDDS

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMmVCiN7If

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa1RJBhsAz

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtvfDyjOA

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYut8nJIQK

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMNPqUqERl

“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!”

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkxnNjILdx

“Now you listen here-” Nieva argued

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx6zPt0Nuw

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTlej5vixv

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyuGvQNHFA

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLJp7LsOuT

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKh9Y1lVdj

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF2AFpFmjM

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgs90igoJb

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5uf16uMnk

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7gIY87So

‘Deep breath in. Deep breath out’

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZGAxqjzOx

“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.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5FqmE4AmU

Thoughts were racing through Nievas head like jets.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRB2wVCfwH

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaAC7H43ju

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFj7yW9HQW

Silence.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgIfz9jsKH

Silence so thick you could cut it with a knife.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifXG5pBLQd

That was all there was left in the suffocating air.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07k20HbDo

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0V14gYBDG

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGqBYhHv1v

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfTXXRy7R

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kRUNy6bJ

“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.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6PhDEgOb

“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.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJHCiDulYo

Nothing came up.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqeMxc0Enr

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcLEvtJWj

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBc5M8nqJ

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI5iuqcuuT

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCpBRQR9a9

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhjEVUCFN

“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.

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69lQC0EiAH

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

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKRAaeSsK

“What have I done?”
