Chapter 1: Jade

My name is Jade Thirlwall. I'm eighteen, and it's been eight years since I saw my best friend.
I met him when I was five. I said goodbye when I was ten, and I haven't seen him since. His name is Niall.
And here's the thing; he's not real. He's imaginary. He's in my mind and in my heart, but not in my life. He never has, and he never will be...or so I thought.

**disclaimer; I have nothing against Jade's father, family, nor Niall's family:)
