Submitted by D.H.R

Write a story about two childhood friends who made a promise, but as young adults, they struggle with whether to keep it.

BFF’s Forever

** Age 10**


"Best friends forever?" Nia holds out her pinky.

"Forever." I lock my pinky with hers.


**Age 11**


_When are you coming back to school?_ Nia texts me.

_ I don’t know._

_ I just need to get better then I’ll be able to come back_

**Age 12**


"Hey," Nia gives me a small smile.

It’s been a year since I fell ill.

I’m still ill.

I will always be ill.

"Hi."

The time apart has caused something to shift between us. I can feel it.

A lot can change in a year.

We’re two different people now.

And we’ll never be the same.
