Me and Zach - Two Way Monologue

Zachary Cedric is smiling at me.
I am wondering why.
So I ask him, “Why are you smiling at me?”
He replies, “Hm .. just wanna tell you that I am right.”

“Right about what?”
“Right about people?? People .. they are just weird.”
“Yeah .. they are. We are.”
“Yeah .. today you have strong conviction that you’re not gonna do this, not gonna say that .. But the other day, you also have the strong conviction that you have to do this, and you have to say that.”
“Yeah … it’s all because of your conscience. You can not predict, when it will say no, when your head say yes. You can not say that you are disagree with your conscience. You don’t care about what the world will say .. when you want to shake your head, yet the conscience makes it nod. You can not put everything in black and white. When it comes to your heart, it will always be grey. Right??”
“Yap. Good that you still remember my words.”

Zachary taps my shoulder.
But then I sigh and look down to my feet.

“I just don’t understand, Zach.”
“I told you like so many times, that there are times when you don’t have to understand anything.”
“Yeah but I just can’t wait. I want to go to the final chapter, to know the very end result of all these circumstances.”
“Naah .. you know that you can not do that. You have to sit here, hold the book, and read it page by page, chapter by chapter, till you arrive on the very last chapter. You have to deal with it.”
“Hm …”
“Like I said before, whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there, with open arms, and open eyes.”

I smile, then I hug him.
Zachary Cedric, my imaginary friend, he disappears.
