She learned to adjust to the fact that she could never be normal. She could never be one of society's pets, free to be tossed and bossed around. There wasn't a place for her in the world she lived in. Still, all was not lost. She had her Dear Friend and she went to places with her that no human eye had ever seen. That was all she needed really. All she needed to keep her going was a friend who would stay by her side. All she wanted was to be understood, even if it meant being understood by just one being in the entire cosmos. As long as she could be heard, as as long she had someone to listen to her, as long as she wasn't alone, she could breathe with ease.
Sometimes she wondered if anyone else had a friend like she did. She tried asking someone once but held her tongue to save herself from sounding crazy. If invisible friends were so common, they'd be the talk of the town. If it was that normal, there would be organizations and associations dedicated to working with people and their Dear friends. Since that definitely wasn't the case, she decided never to disclose her secret to anyone. There was one problem though. What would happen once she got married? She was the kind of lady who was extremely truthful and open in her relationships. How could she keep anything from her husband? How could she not tell him everything about her Dear friend? Would she tell him right after they first met or on their wedding night? Maybe it was best to tell him before the marriage to avoid the possibility of a divorce. Would she ever find someone who could accept both her and her dear friend when he signed up to be her life partner?
These were the questions that bothered her the most because she had no definite answer to them . So, she tried her best to avoid possible future companions to save herself from the trouble of finding the answers.
Life, however, had other plans for her. Doesn't it, always?
