The Cave And The Imaginary

Chapter2

"Alright, so what now?"

"We wait for the night"

——————————————————

It's 6pm, the sunset is beginning and the moon is rising. Miles and I are waiting for the perfect moment at the eye, but we will have to be fast. Don't want to end up missing the moment... We have the eye drawn already, just waiting for the centre piece to fall into place. I can just about see the moon peeping its way above the bottom of the eye.

"It's so beautiful..." Miles says.

"Yeah, I've always loved watching the moon rise", I say turning to face him but realise he's been looking at me the whole time.

"Not that... I meant you're beautiful, it's breathtaking", he says with a smirk on his face.

"Oh please, nothing or no one is more beautiful than a guy like you... besides if I was so breathtakingly beautiful then you would be dead!"

"And why would I be dead?" He says confused

"If I'm breathtaking then you wouldn't be breathing... DUUUH", I say

"So you're finally admitting you're breathtakingly beautiful!?"

"Never, you're the breathtaking one here." I tell him.

"Hey the moon is in place!" Miles says changing the subject.

"Let's get to work"

*10 minutes later*

Finally finished drawing. To be honest, it doesn't look too bad! Pretty proud of it. It's getting kinda late and Simone is probably wondering where I've been all afternoon, so I say my goodbyes to Miles and he disappears in the cave. I make my way back to the girls dormitories in the college, searching for my room number. No 5... no 9... no 12... ah there it is, room no 15. I open the door and quietly shut it behind me to find Simone standing right in front of me looking heated.
This can't end well...

"Where the f*ck have you been!?" Simone says with rage

"Uh... the cave, is there anything wrong with that?" I say with sass

"You go there every night just to meet a friend that  IS  N O T  REAL. Grow up Autumn!"

"Um excuse me? You are not in control of where I am and what is real or not, he's real to me!" I say getting mad

"Autumn, you are 19 years old with an imaginary friend in a little fort. You're crazy!"

"But I love him..." I whisper.

"You can't love someone you can't see Autumn-"

"STOP IT!" I yell cutting her off
"I CAN LOVE WHO I WANT, GO WHERE I WANT AND BE AS CRAZY AS I WANT TO BE!"

I see her roll her eyes and sigh at me. She mutters "whatever" under her breadth and lays on her bed.

I tell her, "So what if I'm crazy? The best people are..."
