I got in my school uniform ready for school, if I'm honest I'm dreading this school day because today is the day I try to make amends with Tzuyu

I arrived at school where Somi was waiting for me, normally it's Somi and Tzuyu waiting for me but I guess Tzuyu wouldn't wait after what happened







The school was fine but it turns out Tzuyu didn't come in today, that's why I'm standing at Tzuyu's door right now. The big wooden door looks as if it's looming over me, the dark shadow cascading down on my face like a stream of water

The light autumn sky made the shadow seem bigger and engulf me in darkness, I raised my shaking hand hesitantly wondering if I should just walk away. I can do this another time I told myself, stop procrastinating just knock on the door. So I did

"Hey Lisa, I haven't seen you in ages" Tzuyu's Mom said

"Hi, can I see Tzuyu?" I asked timidly. I've always been nervous in front of Tzuyu's Mom, I think it's because she has that high importance power vibe

"Oh I don't know if she wants visitors" her Mom replied suddenly not as welcoming as before

"I just need to go over some homework, it won't take long," I said looking up at her with pleading eyes

"Fine she's upstairs in her room," Tzuyu's Mom said curtly

I walked awkwardly around her trying to avoid as much eye contact as possible







From the outside of Tzuyu's room, I can hear her sad music blasting through the walls

Knocking lightly on the door I walked in. Tzuyu is laying on her bed doing something on her phone. Her hair is in a messy top knot and she is wearing no makeup reeling the bags under her eyes

"Hello," I said awkwardly crossing my arms self consciously

"Go away" she growled coldly

"No! We need to talk" I started raising my voice slightly

"What if I don't want to?" She challenged looking up from her phone properly, you could easily tell she's been crying and I couldn't help the pang on the guilt I felt because of it. It was my fault, if only I had reacted differently we wouldn't be needing to have this conversation right now. Instead, I messed up and was a horrible friend because of it

"We have to sort things out" I responded searching for the right words. Maybe I should have planed more ahead but I'm here now and I have to do this no matter how hard it is

"Sort what out, Lisa! The way that I have feelings for you?! Or the way that I made a fool of myself for thinking that maybe there was a slight chance you liked me like that?! And I'm such an idiot for thinking that the girl I've been in love with since we were little would like me!" Tzuyu shouted

I looked at her perplexed by what she had said. She's in love with me? I have no idea what to say, my mouth keeps on opening and closing so much I probably look like a fish right now. Trying to find any words that would work

"Wow" out of all the words in the world my mind could only come up with wow, I'm mentally hitting myself with how stupid and selfish I'm being

"P-Please now you know how I feel go" she cried

"O-Okay" I stuttered walking out the door and again I'm mentally hitting myself with how stupid I'm right now

Taking a deep breath when I'm out of her bedroom I look back in through the small gap in the door. She now has the music that she had paused back on, I can't just leave

"I'm not okay," I say walking back in "This isn't going to get any better if we don't talk"

"Fine, talk" Tzuyu responded bluntly

"I would like it if we could all stay friends," I said shyly looking at her pleadingly, this friendship can't be over

"I'm sorry Lisa but I just can't be friends with you," Tzuyu said looking down in her lap "It would be too hard"

"O-Okay, I-I understand" I replied and I hugged her tightly before walking out the room and shutting the door behind me. Once it had shut I whispered "Goodbye Tzuyu"

Walking downstairs her Mom led me out the door not asking what had gone on. I'm guessing she could see something was wrong by the tears threatening to spill out my eyes







I walked up to my room when I got home finally letting the tears out

This is the end of one of my longest friendships
