Distance between two friends- closing chapter

This article is the continuation and closing chapter of my previous article, you can as well read the previous one to have the full understanding of what went down before.

A quick recap: Laycon and Ashley have been best of friends for over 2 months and Ashley went to college meanwhile Laycon is still home and their friendship begins to waver.

Laycon is not the person thay complains easily, he accepts whatever situation he his, explores it and brings out the best in it. Ashley on the other hand has anger issues and she talks rudely at times but Laycon has always been the one to calm her down and tell her the truth no matter how hurtful it seems since they were both friends.

Laycon noticed that whenever they're chatting, she is always complaining about everything, how her day went, her hostel mate, she even complains about Laycon to Laycon, funny right?

On one day they were both on a call, Laycon was telling her about what he's going through that he's still home and some people are beginning to ask him when he'll go to college and that question is like they're making jest of him, as he was explaining everything to her, she just said she's tired and not ready to talk that night and she's going to bed, she then hung up the call. Laycon was pained but he didn't say anything he was like "sure she's tired and she needs to rest"

One fateful day that he couldn't take it anymore, he told Ashley that she suddenly changed towards him since she entered college and their friendship has been on edge and he hasn't been complaining about it because he cherishes the friendship a lot, but he only said that to express how he was feeling not knowing it would take a drastic turn in their friendship

Ashley then got annoyed and said "what do you mean by that? Do you mean I'm now proud because I'm now in college and you're not? Well if that what you feel, yes that's how I feel, I can't be friends with someone who's still at home and have no hope of coming to college soon because we are no longer on same level" at first Laycon was laughing about it and said if this is a joke stop it because you're hurting my feelings already, she them hissed and ended the call

Laycon tried calling back just to tell her he didn't mean it that way since he so much adored their friendship because it's the best thing that has happened to him in a very long time and he wasn't ready to lose it, he called her one more time, she picked up and said a lot of hurtful words to Laycon, this then broke him down in tears, he then asked one question and said "Ashley what will become of our friendship" and she said let it end right now .

Those statement made him cry and he regretted why he wasn't in a college yet and ever since then he has been weak and he realized that not every story or friendship has an happy ending since nothing ever goes as planned in this world.

Thank you
