The Imaginary Friend FINISHED

Chapter 1: Brad Conley

It was a normal day. Brad walked along the street and he wasn't in a good mood. He didn't graduate and he was very down. Clouds were covering the sun and it was pretty dark for an afternoon. It wasn't even 5 p.m. and it to make it worse, the weather turned around and it rained. Really badly actually. It just goes on and on. Brad didn't even care anymore. He looked at the ground. He was nineteen years old and he still failed school. For the 3rd time. He just couldn't do it. Brad was almost home. He lived with his friend Matthew. Matthew payed the rent of the house and for return, Brad did all the household work. He was broke and thats why he did not pay the rent. Matthew did graduate and he was twenty years old. He was pretty successful and he got a job. He was a chemical engineer what made Brad even feel more worse. Furthermore, he was just a failure and he had a excellent career. Brad walked home slowly in the rain. He arrived at the door and Brad searched in his pockets from his wet jacket. He couldn't find his keys. ''Not this too. Why can't i do anything good in my life?'' He sighed. ''Oh, there the are.'' He took his keys out of his pockets from his pants and he got inside. Matthew wasn't home. He got himself a cup of warm tea and he began to make some dinner. He loved to eat some chicken nuggets. With some ice cream as dessert. He cried. Just cried. He couldn't help it. He was just sad because of everything. He felt like a stupid failure. Brad was doing the same thing for day's now. Wake up, make breakfast, walk around, search for jobs, eat dinner, sleep and go on. He was searching for a job for months now. He heard a sound at the door. ''Hey Brad! How are you? Found a job already?'' Followed after. It was Matthew, he just came home from the work he has. ''Um yeah, kind of. Still no job for me...'' Matthew replied with:'' Thats okay, I hope you do find one fast.'' ''Yeah, me too but I'm not so sure. I don't even have a diploma and I just suck at being alive or something.'' Brad stood up and went upstairs. It was a few hours later and he went to sleep early. He was very tired and he fall asleep right away. In the morning, he heard Matthew leave to work. He woke up as well and Brad dressed himself up. He walked outside for is daily routine. Brad was having a really good day after days. The weather was sunny and he was feeling alright. He randomly bumped into a women. She was blond with beautiful green eyes. The girl seem like she was twenty five years old. He hasn't seen people like that in days. He smiled softly. The girl smiled back. ''I'm sorry!'' He said a little too loud. ''It's okay. No worries. Are you alright?'' Brad said:'' Yeah. Sorry for being so clumsy. I'm such a failure.'' ''What? No don't say those things about yourself!'' He said uncertainly:'' I have no job, no diploma, just nothing...'' ''I could change that I guess, but you have too like it of course.'' Brad lit up and said:'' What, are you offering me a job? I would love too! Anything would help. You're amazing!'' The women said:'' Can you babysit my son? He is really naughty. Every babysitter I've had before just left and I don't even know where they are. I will pay you a few hundred bucks every night. I need you every Friday and Sunday at 7 p.m. Is that okay for you?'' Brad smiled and agreed. ''I'll be there next Friday!'' The women smiled and walked away. ''It was nice meeting you. What even is your name?'' ''Brad, yours?'' She replied with:''I'm Hazel, see you in a few days!'' He walked away with the biggest smile on his face. He hasn't felt so happy in months and he could't wait to tell Matthew about this meeting.
