Beginning of my new story~
Henry
His smile, his hair, his eyes. They were all just illusions. He was genuine to me, yet he wasn’t actually real. He was the beauty in my life. The beauty in my imagination. It had hurt me so.
Henry looked at me from afar. We were in the mansion that we had lived years together in. He looked at me over a book, and I could see the smile in his eyes. His generosity was overwhelming. I was sitting on a chair at a chess table. I wasn’t focused on chess, however, and was more focused on him looking at me.
Henry… Why couldn’t you have been real? It’s killing me so.
He went back to reading his book. I focused more on my moves in chess. The night went by with the delusional minds of us both.
If he even had a mind. Or maybe my mind was his.
All I knew was that there was a barrier between us. A never-ending cycle of torment and heartache. That barrier would never end because Henry was just a figment of my imagination that appeared as my imaginary friend when I was a little girl. I didn’t know he wasn’t real until I got older, and he didn’t age a bit. He would always be my one true love.
I had focused a lot on my studies, and eventually went to college, pursuing my dream of writing. I had become a bestselling author, and Henry was there to support me along the way. I met a lot of people throughout my college years. People didn’t understand why I turned down so many men. They could never understand.
I first made love to Henry when I finished college. It was amazing, filling me with happiness to the core. He told me that he would never leave my side. He said that we could never bare children, being that he wasn’t actually there. I was phased at first, and the pain never went away. I loved Henry to all extents. He was the only happiness in my life. He was my only love.
“Amelia, can you go fetch the wine?” He asked, winking at me with affection that only he could give.
“Well, of course, sweetie.”
I got up from where I was sitting to go to the wine cellar. I grabbed a bottle, and used a cork to get it open. We sat at the dinner table together, and drank the night away. Once in bed, we made lavish love. He looked at me with those same emerald eyes, his lips pressed softly against mine. It was the best. And he was my last.
I woke up the next morning, and he was gone. I hated when this happened because I always feared he would never return. He had never let me down, however, and I could always expect him to be back.
I looked out upon the open field beyond my backyard. There were rain clouds formed, and it looked as if it was going to rain. I poured me a cup of tea, trying to clear my unwanted thoughts. I sat outside, on the porch, and listened to the rain. It had helped a lot in the past when I felt that Henry wouldn’t come back.
“Hello, my love,” I heard his sweet voice coming from the left of me. I smiled, not yet looking at him.
“Hello, Henry,” I couldn’t help but to smile.
I got up and embraced him. “Where have you been?”
“Out doing imaginary friend things. Things that can’t be told to the living.”
I smiled and kissed him, feeling the warmth of his embrace.
I was happy then, but what if he was to never return from the places he visits? The thought lingered in the back of my head.
We cuddled in the bed, and he told me stories about some of the people he had seen while away.
I asked, “I thought you said you couldn’t tell me?”
“Yeah, well, the entities are different. I’m not telling you their names,” he replied, chuckling a little.
“So what kind of entities did you meet?” I asked.
“Plenty of weirdos. You would never guess what kind of monsters are in the back of people’s mind. Trying to get them. Trying to stalk them.”
I gulped. I wondered what else my mind could conjure up. If there were monsters in the back of my mind, and if they would try to hurt me. I knew Henry would always protect me, though. Henry was my guardian angel, I was so sure.
“Is there any monsters in the back of my mind?” I asked suddenly. I was terrified of the answer.
“Yes, but I have protected you from him for many years.”
My heart sank to the pit of my stomach, and he could tell that I was feeling uneasy.
He grabbed my hand and said, “As long as I’m around, he can’t get to you.”
