Imaginary friend!... Michael

Age 6:

After a long and boring day at school my mum pulls into our drive, but before I go to get out she stops me.

"Sweetie your teacher told me you've been drawing pictures of you and this Michael again. It needs to stop before people think you're crazy!" Mum says in a caring voice trying not to upset me... but it did.

"Okay I'm just gonna go to my room and play." I can't just block him out he's my best friend and I'm his.

I shut my bedroom door and let a few tears run down my rosy cheeks.

"Hey, y/n what's up?"

"Michael?" I ask through my watery eyes.

"I'm here. C'mon, give me a hug and tell me all about it." He sits crossed legged on the floor making me curl up on his lap.

"M-mum wants me to stop talking to you coz I drew a picture of us playing the other day." I sniff looking up at him.

"And do you want to stop talking to me?" He asked calmly hugging me tighter.

"No Mike! I remember what you said 'the more we talk the more chance you have at becoming a full human again'."

"Good because when you're 18 if you keep being my friend I will be all yours buddy." He says picking me up and going over to my mini kitchen "so tea madam?" He says in a silly voice.

For the past 12 years Michael has been there for me from my first broken bone to my first and last boyfriend. Every night he would remember more about his living life and tell me stories sending me to sleep.

But now I'm starting to worry I haven't heard from Michael in a week and today is my 18th birthday. All my friends are round having a good time, but I need some space so I go and sit on the front porch.

I put my hands over my face picturing Michael comforting me. I miss him and I never got to tell him how much I love him or should I say in love with him- my thoughts are cut off by someone tripping slightly in front of me.

"Shit- hey y/n what's up ummm happy birthday." He nervously laughs.

"Michael! Oh thank god!" I get up and throw my arms around him "where have you been? Are you okay?- you're warm!" I say snuggling, him more.

"That's coz I'm here, like for real baby. In the flesh." He says pulling back and booping me on the nose.

"I love you!" I almost shout looking at him.

"I know." He laughs.

"Hey-"

"I love you to. C'mon girlfriend." He say putting an arm around me.

"Girlfriend?" I ask.

"Remember when you were 12 after you and Josh broke up you asked me to be your boyfriend. And now I can actually be your boyfriend coz it won't be creepy." He says making us both laugh.
