Maybe it was the destiny. Maybe we weren't meant to be best friends. Our mothers have never wanted us to become close, we never knew why. Perhaps they were friends like us and one of them screw it up and, as they were proud and arrogant, they never talked to each another anymore. Wait, what was I saying? Evil Queen and Maleficent friends? Not even in the wildest dreams. They didn't know what love or friendship was.

Mal and I weren't like that, though. We weren't that evil or wicked. We did know what it felt like to have affection for someone. I couldn't deny that I cared about Carlos, Jay, Jane, Lonnie, Ben, and even Mal. Should we idulge our mothers' will and go separate ways? Or should we prove them that friendship is not a weakness, but power?, I asked to myself.
I promised that I would never be like my mom when I had a child, so I chose the second one. My future daughter or son would never feel not loved. But I wouldn't be so easy with Mal, either. So I suggested to myself that I would have her to keep asking for forgiveness at least one more time.
Wednesday
Mal POV
Sometimes I missed being tough and bad. You didn't have to think about anyone except for yourself. It was so much easier when I didn't feel anything for anybody. I couldn't believe that there was a time in where I thought that love was powerfull; maybe it was, until it punched you. My mom would be so proud of me now, I finally have done an evil thing to someone. But I wasn't proud of myself, not even a little, not even close. And I wasn't going to give up on Evie. My mother didn't raise a quitter, although we had different things to fight for.
I decided to try again. So I grabbed a pen to start writing a letter. It was my first letter ever, so it was kind of messy, and it was so difficult to write as I had never expressed my feelings on one of these things before. It wasn't long, but I put a tremendous effort on it. As a final touch, I put the letter together with the drawing Evie gave to me in an envelop. I wrote 'From: Mal/ To: Blueberry Princess'. That's how I called her at the beggining when we started to hang out together with Jay and Carlos.
I thought about giving it to her in person, but maybe she wasn't in the mood to see me. I slided it under the door of her new room (and I hoped it wouldn't be her room for so long), and crossed my fingers.
Evie POV
I heard a noise coming from the door, so I was coming closer to open it when I saw an envelop under it. I grabbed it and looked at it. I couldn't believe my eyes. Mal had written me a letter. 'Blueberry Princess', I almost forgot that that was how she used to call me. Lot of memories came to my mind at that moment. I opened the envelop and saw the drawing I drew for Mal like 10 years ago. I couldn't believe she still had it! My stomach started to be a whirlpool; if she kept it for many years and even when we weren't friend, that meant that she never gave up on us and we had the same feeling: we knew we were going to be the bestest of best friends one day. I started to read the letter:

'Evie,
I know that I've already said that I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna give up until you say you forgive me, so, here I go again: I'M SO SORRY. You're the most important person for me, not even my mother or Ben can replace you, imagine that.
It's being so hard for me to go on without you, you have always been my backbone. My world is falling apart without my sister. I know you feel the same emptiness as I do, and we both know what it means: we can't live without each other.
Please, I want you back. I want our strong friendship back. I need someone to prove me that it worths fighting for someone you love, that it's not a weakness and that villains have feelings, too.
I hope you remember this drawing you did for me when we were little. I kept it because I knew that someday, that drawing would came true. And it did. Hope it would come true again.
I love you, E, with all my heart.
Your M.'
I couldn't help it, I started to cry hard. I stood up and came out of the room, I run towards my old room and opened it without knocking. Mal was reading on her bed and Jane was doing her homework at the desk. I jumped onto Mal's bed and gave her the best hug of my life.
'Emm, okay, I think I'll leave you alone', Jane said while she was getting out the room.
'Don't come back!,' said Mal, making me laugh. 'So... that means you forgive me for having acted like a complete idiot??'
'I do', I said between tears. She wiped off some of them. The hug lasted long, we couldn't get apart. 'What about having a pajama party tonight? Just the two of us.' I proposed.
'That's the best idea I've ever heard,' she kissed my forehead and squeezed me more. 'Thanks, E. Thank you for being the best friend I could have ever asked for, I don't deserve that much,' she said in tears.
'Oh, you do. You made a mistake but you recognised it and apoligised for it. Besides, you are right, none of us can't live without the other. You just can't stop loving your bestie for just one thing she did wrong, above many other things she did right,' I said. She blushed because of that comment and I kissed her on her cheeck, causing her blush even more.
