My Best Friend Is Invisible Novels & Stories

Ella was Absolutely right and I realized it very soon that he cannot see us and that was the peak of my happiness because then he’s going to wonder where have I gone and I would be able to seek for the answer in peace and it was not just him I am invisible from anyone and everyone, the only person who can see me is Ella and the only person who can see her is me which means that neither Elvin nor Lily could track us down.

Maya says softly. “It was. But then I met someone. A girl. She was lonely too. We became friends that summer, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t feel invisible anymore.” I’m treading carefully, staying as close to the truth as I dare. “She saw me. Really saw me.” “What happened to her?”

I don't care if I wait the whole day or the whole night. I must apologise. I must try to fix our friendship. My feelings got in the way and I fùcked up. I shouldn't have exposed the secret about her fake marriage. Ironically, I pushed them to get married for real. That was so foolish of me. Like I said, I'm an invisible person. A lot of people don't notice me. So, I don't have a lot of friends. I only have two friends. Dani being one of them. She's the only fun friend I have.

Jack pointed a finger at me with a menacing look in his eyes, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes as an exasperated sigh escaped my lips. My friends were just being dramatic for no reason. “Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t have any new friends.” I said, attempting to walk away, but my friends were not having any of that. “Well, if you had no new friends, why did you suddenly turn invisible.” Ryan chipped, following behind me along with the rest of them. “Ugh. I didn’t turn invisible, okay? I was just busy.” I answered, quickening my pace and hoping to get as far away from my friends and their ridiculous questions.

The words sliced through me. “I wanted your face ruined,” she said bluntly. “So when you showed up at school, people would stop staring at you like you were everything.” My chest tightened painfully, tears escaping my eyes. “But Sienna, we were best friends!” I said, shocking on my tears. “I was tired of it,” she continued. “Tired of being your friend and still being invisible next to you. Tired of the attention you got from everyone. Especially the boys.” My eyes burned.

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? Do you know how long I had to hide? How long I had to smile in your face and wait for him downstairs after he left your bed?” I looked at her. “You were my friend. My fucking best friend.” “I was tired,” she said. “Tired of covering it up. Tired of pretending I was happy for you. Tired of watching you sit here thinking you had him. Tired of watching you enjoy all these wealth.” “I brought you into this house.” “And I stayed.” She smiled again. “That’s the difference. Whenever we’re done, he’s so satisfied, That’s why he doesn’t come to you afterwards. He already got what he wanted from me.”

One of them ran right past me, so close that I flinched a little, expecting to feel something. I didn’t. I slowly turned my head. “…okay,” I said slowly. “That’s not good.” I lifted my hand and waved it in front of another kid’s face. No reaction. I leaned in closer. Still nothing. I stepped back quickly. “Okay, I’m invisible,” I said. “That’s great. That’s just amazing. Why not? Why not add that to everything else happening today?” I rubbed my face with both hands. “This is fine. Everything is fine.”

I looked at her, my best friend, the only person who’d ever seen me without my mask, and the dam inside me broke. “It hurts, Claire,” I whispered, crying. “It hurts so damn much. Every morning when I wake up, I hope it’s just nightmare, and every night that I go to bed, I can’t help but wonder if I wasn’t enough. Why no one ever chose me. Not my parents, not Ethan, not even God. Sometimes, I feel invisible. Like I could just vanish and no one would give a fuck except you.”

When they reached the kitchen, Lily finally let go of her hand and threw open the pantry door with dramatic flair. “Guess what I still keep stocked just for you?” she announced, her eyes sparkling. She pulled out a bright red bag of kettle-cooked salt and vinegar chips. Maya’s jaw dropped. Then she let out a shaky laugh that turned into a sound halfway between a giggle and a sob. Her hand flew up to her chest as she felt tears sting her eyes. “Lily… you didn’t have to…” she whispered, her voice trembling. Lily stepped forward, serious now, and hugged her again. “Of course I did,” she said firmly. “I missed my best friend. You’re the only person in the world who would finish these with me wit

Actually doing it was another. Every time Gaspare finished with a lover, he would call me to clean up the room. I wondered which one it would be today. Lily? Or Celeste, who had come last month? My favorite was still Sandra. She only ever made a mess on the bed, never the entire room. When I opened the door, I found an unfamiliar face staring back at me. This woman had features that bore a passing resemblance to my best friend, Vera Toscano. I could not help but smile.
