Imaginary Friends - DISCONTINUED -

1

I'm done.

I'm so done.

I look around where I am forgetting where I had walked.

The old pool.

I stare into the empty pool.

My friends appear on the edge.

Jungkook swinging his legs, talking to Yoongi.

I smiled at the six boys that had caused me so much joy.

I missed them so much.

I climbed the cement diving board.

Looking down to my friends laughing, I smiled and looked at the pink clouds.

Why was the world so cruel to them?

Why did they have to leave?

"Tae!" Someone yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.

Looking down I see none of my friends.

"Get down from there! It's not safe honey," a woman's voice said.

Mom?

I turn around and climb down spotting my mother and... Jin?

"Jin!" I yell running towards my close friend.

A look of sadness filled my mother's eyes.

Confusion struck me as I reached for the boy but couldn't touch him.

"Jin," I said, barely audible.

"Honey," my mom put her hand on my shoulder.

"Jin died three years ago."

I shook my head furiously,"no! I just saw him! He was just here!"

"I'm sorry Tae, but he's gone."

Tears beg to escape my eyes but I brush them away.

Jin can't be gone I just saw him.

He didn't take his life!

He's the only one who didn't. Why was she trying to tell me he's dead.

I shake off her soft hand and walk back home.

This is a bunch of shit.

Once I get to my house I climb the stairs to my room.

"Hey," a voice says as I sit on my bed.

I look around to see no one.

I squeeze my eyes shut and put my hands over my ears, shaking my head.

"You're dead Jin, you're all dead," I whisper over and over.

"But I'm right here," his angelic voice sounds making me uncover my ears.

His voice was so soft, so sweet, so caring.

"Open your eyes."

I do as I'm told and am slowly revealed to a standing Jin.

"Jin!" I say jumping up and going to hug the older boy.

I stumble as I feel no presents of a human.

"Jin where are you?" I ask not seeing him anymore.

No response.

"Jin!" I yell as my mom walks in.

She pulls me into a hug.

I don't understand what's happening.

"Where's Jin?" I almost let out a sob.
