It’s a wonderful thing, to have a friend. A companion. Just a face… a face you can count on to be happy to see you. To be genuinely pleased when you were there.

It was a beautiful thing.

And I couldn’t be happier. Audrey and I, we became inseparable. We were a duo, and nothing in the world could stop us from being us, and being happy being us.

Because if there is one thing a friend does for you, it’s that they can make you feel… like you’re worth something. They just have that power.

And Audrey… when she saw me she smiled. A real smile. She was actually happy I was there, every single time. It was something I wasn’t used to, something I hadn’t really known.

Why she loved me like that, I had no idea. I have no idea. All I know is that it made me feel special, and happy too.

Happy. I had a friend. I had worth. And I was happy.
