My Best Friend Is Invisible Novels & Stories

I don’t usually look twice. Then she turned her head, and reality crashed into me. Elena Carson. Nora’s best friend. The quiet girl who used to trail behind my sister like a shadow. Always reading, always watching, never taking up space. I remembered her. This version doesn’t fade into the background anymore. Somewhere between thirteen and twenty, she learned how to command attention without trying. And that’s exactly why I pretended not to recognize her last night. Distance is safer. I let the silence stretch between us. I know she’s nervous from the way she shifts her weight, the way her fingers tighten on her bag strap. She’s waiting for me to speak.

I asked. The man shrugged. "Nope! You know that they can't see us. And even I killed both of you right here, they won't suspect me." "Why is that?" I move my eyes to find a certain someone. "Well, because I'll envelope you with my invisible sphere that will lasts 'till dawn. Within that time, everyone here will see me training. Unfortunately, I can't do that because the American government personally invited him to join this raid." The crazy man pointed at Jevro who is still hugging me like octopus.

"You can call me Jun." My best friend was mad at me. My sister left me. And my ex-boyfriend broke my heart when I found him in bed with another girl. I wanted someone I could hold on to, even for a short moment, and Jun was definitely going to be that person, even if we were both drunk-- me being the one more wasted. The kissing resumed and clothes were removed, but the darkness of the room hid our secrets.

“You notice that immediately, but you never saw me crying myself to sleep every night? You never saw how invisible I was to everyone… including you?” The room felt smaller, the whole house deathly silent. The wet hoodie clung coldly to my skin. My knees wobbled. “I just wanted to be a normal teenager for once,” I whispered, trembling. “To have friends. To have someone look at me like I matter instead of always being the quiet, invisible girl who disappears.” Mum opened her mouth, voice hoarse. “Anna, I… I didn’t know it was that bad. I thought—” “You thought wrong!” I cut her off, fresh tears falling. “You never looked close enough.”

To be next to him and not be able to touch him or show how much I still love him? Especially after all that sex! I wanted to yell all those words out. I miss talking to my best friend about my deepest, most personal thoughts, and having her yank me back to earth, push me to touch some grass. I felt so alone with the secret; the anxiety of keeping it, as well as losing it, keeps building every day, I wondered when I would topple. If I did, everything would come crashing—. “You’re right.” Eva was in front of me, phone ditched, and gave me one of her comforting hugs. “I’m a blind bitch. Ten years is a long time, of course, it can’t just end in a month!”

“We’re only three people in this room. Why are you facing that side?” Evelyn looked at me too, her brows furrowing. “Sofia, who are you talking to?” I blinked, realizing too late what I had done. Faith was invisible to everyone except me. “Oh,” I muttered, forcing a smile. “I forgot. You can’t see her.” “See who?” Nightshade asked, standing now. “Meet Faith,” I said, turning toward Faith again. “She’s right here.” Evelyn’s eyes widened. “Faith? Rose's friend”

And yet… something about her eyes made my stomach churn, a familiarity that prickled at the edges of my mind with recognition. Surely, it can't be. Even at her funeral, the only people who showed up were my mom's estranged family and the friends she had made over the years. “You’re lying,” I whispered, still in shock. How could my mother have a best friend and I didn't know about her?

That was a first. "You are the best. I will call you when I get back." He finished with a smile before running off, denying me the opportunity to relish in his backside, even if it was just for a minute. I exhaled deeply, returning my gaze to the night sky. There comes a time when you have to hide your new feelings for your best friend to avoid losing him forever. This was that time.

It’s the one who gazed at me like I’m the last thing she wants around. It’s the face I’ve been seeing for the past year with my best friend, but never stays on my mind. Yeah. That’s the face that’s in my head as my cock slides in and out of another girl. It’s those teary-filled eyes.
