Welcome To My World

XXII-Break

There are many signs that can tell you if a friendship is falling apart. For example, when you have a friend, you'll cheer him up when he's sad and you'll enjoy your time together, with no pressure. But by the time you no longer enjoy being with your friend and you can't even help him, there's no going back.
I look back at my friendship with Harry, and I see that we were no longer happy. The only reason we had lunch together was because we felt obligated to do it, and we had run out of stuff to do.
Maybe as we started to know each other even better, something else started growing. Hate. And that argument was the trigger for all that hate to come out.
And I hated when he appeared at school the next day. I was going down a row of stairs and out of nothing, he appeared and hugged me.
"Daniel, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to hurt you!"
"Well, I think it's too late for that."I said as I pushed him away
"Please, I'm sorry."
"Harry, please, just leave me alone."
I had to get away from him, I was too overwhelmed by thoughts to think rationally and I just felt like throwing him down those stairs.
Honestly, I didn't even see us being friends in the future, and I just needed some time away from him, just to figure something's out. That's what I told him.
D-Hey, I think that we need some time away from each other, there's stuff I need to figure out.
H-Don't do that,I can help you.
D-That's the problem, I don't want your help. I need to figure out something and I think that in the meantime, you should just stop loving me.
As I typed that, I had a brilliant idea. Harry had been doing something since the beginning of the year, he'd been scratching the ship name he'd created for us , Darry, on a tree. He had scratched it over a hundred times, and the tree was covered in Darrys. I was really mad at him, so I just crossed every Darry I found.
After I did that, we didn't talk for the rest of the week, and as time passed by, I just wanted to hurt him so much.
But then, it all stopped. What was I doing? Hurting Harry? He was my best friend in the whole wide world, I wouldn't lay a finger on him if he didn't do anything to me.
And then, I finally realized what was wrong.
Our friendship had grown because we both hated the same people, and we just felt that we were stuck on that, with nothing else to talk about. And we were so consumed by that that we even started to try to control each other's life. Because we both need to be in control and we didn't know how to let it go.
A week later, I finally talked to Harry about this, and he had an idea. We would meet at school and we would pretend that we didn't know each other, and have a fresh start.
I agreed, but in the next day, when I saw him, I couldn't do it.
That was the Harry that knew all my secrets, that was the Harry who loved me no matter what I did, that was the Harry whom I trusted all my secrets, that was the Harry who was there for me when others weren't.
And what had happened a week ago wouldn't change our friendship, because we were stronger than that.
And we didn't need a fresh start, because no matter what happened, we would always be there for each other and the talk we had after our break was the best one I'd have in many time.

I decided to explore more of Daniel's and Harry's friendship, so I wrote this chapter. I couldn't stand seeing them not together, but sometimes, when you argue with a friend, a break is the best thing to do. And I swear, when you make up, you'll feel great.
I hope that you have enjoyed this chapter, and I'll try to update soon.
