A short drabble about a friendship.
"Let's always be friends."
And to that they both agreed. Their friendship lasted through the years because of that spoken so many years ago. Going to separate houses didn't change that. Making new friends didn't change that. The words spoken when they were nine in that park was the base of their friendship. Even as it got harder, they didn't want to stop trying. Neither want be the first to give up. They didn't want to be the cause of their longest and closest friendship.
But then it started to get even more difficult. Now it wasn't just names, people, he, was getting hurt. Now it wasn't just breaking the social norm, it was hanging with people opposite of themselves. They weren't just in different houses now, they were in different everything. They no longer had anything in common but potions. Their friendship lasted on potions and that promise made so long ago.
Effort was put into the dying friendship- a friendship of uneven proportions. One meant more to the other. One didn't know how much they meant. Their friendship had one of the worst things. An unreturned love.
Effort was put into the friendship. Years went by and the effort became a little less each time, until the point where the friendship that could survive anything could break. The magical friendship couldn't live anymore because it was outgrown. The words spoken by little children couldn't hold out to the realities of the real world.
It went to the point where one didn't want to try anymore, but the same didn't want to admit that she was the one that changed. She wanted to think it was his fault for changing.
Many things end. This friendship was just one of them. The word spoken was only the tipping point to the thing they have been waiting for. No, it wasn't only the word that broke it. No, it was everything in their lives. The friendship never had a chance to survive; it was stupid to think it would. With so many things changed since the first day, it couldn't survive.
It just couldn't.
