Invisible

I sat on the edge of the bridge thinking and mulling over life. No I'm not about to jump or do something stupid. It's just my favorite place to go and think. It peaceful and nobody can disturb me. My parents just had a big fight and I didn't want to be in the room anymore. I don't think they even saw me leave. It's like they don't even know I'm in the room anymore. It's almost like i'm Invisible. They've been fighting for years and sometimes I wish they would just get divorced and get the hell away from each other. It think they're staying together because they think I'll take it too hard. I don't have a lot of friends and I'm the youngest of seven. Everyone had a buddy growing up but me so I guess I am kind of invisible. I admit I'm a little emotional at times but I thought no I can take it. So I'm out here now and my cheeks are red from the cold piercing air because I forgot my coat when I ran from the house to get away. I was shivering, but I isn't want to I back because I'd rather shiver then go back to the house of hell. Behind me I heard a rustling and I turned startled almost falling off the bridge. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me off the edge and back on to the wooden planks of the bridge.

*shocks course through my body and then quickly fade away*

It turned around and was met with a pair of beautiful blue orbs looking right at me.

"Umm. * ahem * Hello. Thanks for saving my life and stuff, and yeah.... I'm Aristanae. But you can call me Ari. (Are - ee).

" *clears throat and gulps* I'm Charlie. But you can just call me Charlie. And you're welcome. You should be a little more careful sitting that far off the bridge."

*awkwardly sits back from n the bridge*

"So.... What are you doing here?"

"Oh, sorry. I just came over here to think."

"Oh well, it's a little preoccupied at the moment but I'm sure the bridge would love to counsel both of us. I think were his only visitors so he probably enjoys the company."

*Ari gestures the space next to her and Charlie sits down*

"Well thank you for so humbly offering me his only other session time."

" well my imaginary friend Richard couldn't make it today so you get to sit in his lovely spot for today. Don't waste it."

"Don't worry your friends spot is in good hands."

*looks up at her and gets lost in her smile*

"Well then you better make it a good one."

*looks up and sees Charlie looking at her.*

"What are you looking at?"

*Ari looks at Charlie weirdly*

"You have the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen"

*blushes profusely*

"Oh. Thank you very much Charlie."

*ahem* " Sorry. I didn't mean to make it weird, it's just something about you seems familiar about you, like I've known you for ages....... Sorry...... I probably sound crazy."

"You don't sound crazy, partially. But I get what you mean. Anyway.... *looks at time* I should probably be getting home. If my mom wakes up I'll be dead meat if she catches me."

*hops off the bridge and starts walking away*

"Hey, is there any chance I could get your number?"

"Why would you want my number, I'm invisible?"

"Not to me your not. I see you as perfectly as the day."

I gave him my number and started walking back to the dreaded tartarus that I call my home. But maybe It won't be so bad now. At least now I'm not invisible to at least one person. I thought now I'm pretty okay with those odds.
