[ WP ] You have had an imaginary friend . One day you find that your friend is no longer invisible to everyone , but you are .

I woke up one morning, and saw my imaginary friend. But something was off until I realized that he somehow became materialized into the real world and it was n't my overactive imagination. Excited about this, I decided to wake up my mom and dad, and that's when things started to go downhill. No matter how much I yelled and shook the bed, they would n't wake up. I just thought they were in a deep sleep so I gave up and left them alone. 
 
 I called my friend's house to tell him that my imaginary friend was alive, but when he picked up the phone he could n't seem to hear me either. I yelled as loud as I could but he still could n't hear me. Then he hung up. Wow. I just could n't believe it. Was this some sort of mean joke. 
 
 My parents woke up suddenly, which prompted me to go tell him how my imaginary friend was real, but they see me even when I was right in front of them. 
 
 `` Jason have you seen Ryan?'' my mom said. `` No, not at all,'' my dad said. `` Have n't heard him all morning'' 
 
 `` Did you check his room?'' 
 `` Yes I have and I do n't see him. Not even through the window.'' 
 
 Though it did n't take them long enough to find my imaginary friend and they forced him out of the house like a rabid animal. They immediately called the police to report me missing as well as animal control. 
 
 `` Oh my God, what the hell was that?!'' my dad exclaimed. `` You do n't think that creature had anything to do with our son missing, do you?'' said my mom worriedly. Then she broke down sobbing while my dad was comforting her. I wanted to think this was cruel prank, but when my mom has a breakdown, there is no way she could be joking. 
 
 So as an ultimate test of fate, I decided to look in the mirror, only to find out that I could n't see myself. `` Of course'' I thought to myself. Everything made sense now: the reason why my mom and dad did n't wake up after my racket, my friend not hearing me on the phone, my parents ignoring me, all because I am invisible. 
 
 I always wanted my imaginary friend to be real, but not like this. I guess for the price of existing in real life, I was forced to exchange my own plane of reality. Coming to this harsh realization, I walked out of the house while I began to cry. No one can see me and I ca n't interact with anybody. I can scream all I want but there is no one to help me. 
 
 Then I heard a voice. `` Please do n't cry'' the voice said. Then I turned around me and to my surprise it was my imaginary friend. `` You can hear me?'' I asked. `` I can also see you'' said my imaginary friend. `` Since we have such a bond, we can both interact with each other'' 
 
 `` It works like that?'' 
 
 `` You bet it does! Not only that but you are also able to see other 
 imaginary friends since they exist on your own plane of reality'' 
 
 Then I saw a kid running around with what seems to be a hybrid of a G.I. Joe action figure and Che Guevara. I also saw some college student and what seems to be a hipster teddy bear. I smiled for bit and eased of the tears. I waved at one of the imaginary friends and they waved back. Then I was full-on happy. I did n't feel alone anymore. I was surrounded with so many people just like me and my imaginary friend. Maybe today was n't a total loss and I do n't want to change anything about it.
