I realized at that moment - observing his form move further away without once turning back - that Id already begun to rebuild the imaginary wall between us. I was shielding my heart with stone cold feelings again, the only way I knew to protect it. I still planned to try my hand at prayer. If God would grant me this one request, if I could keep my only friend, I would give anything in return, even the treasured books trapped beneath my arm. Id tasted enough of a dismal life to know that a real, true friend was of greater worth than the collection of every imagined fairytale in the world.
