imaginary friends

i blinked in hope that the figure in front of me would fade away, but it stayed permiment. 

"w-what" i sputtered, lost for any vocabulary. 

i raised my hand, and watched as i went right through the character infront of me.. this couldn't be possible. i couldn't be!

i looked at the 'person' infront of me. they were transparent.. like. a ghost? no.. it couldn't be. 

"i'm not a ghost, silly" the boy infront of me said. i gasped.. it could hear my thoughts!? 

"i-i.." i stuttered once again. 

this boy.. he had brown hair that flowed over his forhead, and reached the end of his neck. his green eyes studied me, as if i shouldn't be scared or confused.. 

i closed my eyes, and rubbed my temples 

"he isn't real. he is just a figment of your imagination" i chanted in my head repeatidly, then slowly peeled open my eyes, seeing nothing.. the boy dissapered, just like that.. i guess he wasn't after all.  

as i crawled into bed that night, i rested my head on my pillow.. he couldn't be real..it just wasn't possible.. but, as sleep crawled closer and closer to my being, i head a voice that chilled my whole body with fear. 

"i am real"
