Louise & I
by Heather Knight
Louise was my best friend growing up. Maybe my only friend. That's why I never understood why Mum didn't like her. She never even talked to her when she came home for a sleepover.
We were inseparable for years and then one day, when I was nine, I woke up and she was gone.
I looked for her for days. I moped around, I didn't want to eat.
'Mum, do you think Louise is sick?'
'No, love, I'm afraid she was never here. Not totally, at least.'
'What d'you mean?'
'Louise was a ghost, love. Children can see them sometimes ...'
