When I approached her, I was very careful, I was still a bit worried I would frighten her and that was the last thing I wanted to do. Because even though the voices hadn't said anything I knew that she could be the first real friend I would ever have, if I didn't frighten her.
Her name was Soledad, she was a beauty, and the sweetest girl I had ever encountered.
We spent every moment we could together. Talking, laughing, being. After a while I even told her about the voices and she didn't start pulling away, she was amazing.
But she had a secret a secret that I didn't know about for a very long time.
A few months had passed and even though Soledad had met my family I had never met hers, I didn't really think about it because we felt it more natural being out in the park or at the playground or in the forrests. The few times she had met my family was when I had to run home before we could do something else becaus I knew my parents would go out in the evening and I needed the keys to get in to the house. I'm quite a destracted girl and my head isn't skrewed on tight enough so I forget thing easily and the keys are never where I need them to be.
As I said we were never in any of our houses, we spent our time in other places. She loved speed and "danger" climbing trees, hanging upside down, spinning round and round, test her balance at the edge of a cliff. Oh the many times I was afraid she would fall if I just breathed, that I didn't die or at least faint do to lack of air!
But what both of us loved the most was lie close to eachother in the grass under under the trees watching and feeling the sun shine through the grass, I will allways remember how relaxed she looked. And I will allways remember her laugh when I pushed her on the swings.
