End of friendship
If I want to say two people's friendship is over, but they are not couples,
could I say:
Peter and John break up.
If not, how should I say it? Thanks.

Not 'break up'-- that is for romantically involved couples (and meetings and icebergs). Perhaps the easiest is to say that 'Peter and John are no longer friends' or, as in your thread title, 'Peter and John have ended their friendship'.
