Best Friends?

I always wondered where my insane side came from. And I think something happened to me when I was born, and my childhood friend Liz has something to do with it. When I'm thinking properly about things, I can tell that Liz is kind of crazy. Insane even. She says that ever since she was born she had these voices in her head, saying do it! Do it! Do what exactly. I hear voices sometimes to, when I get mad, or when I'm being bullied. They say "Do it!" too and sometimes when I'm in my insane form, I know exactly what to do. But when I'm normal, my body doesn't know what it wants.

Today, my mind was thinking properly and my friend Liz sat at my locker waiting for me to get there. She is a good friend I'll give her that. But like I said before she can be a bit insane, and she was acting like it today. When I approached her, she was shivering, shaking even. And she gave me this psychotic smile and I smiled at her. I felt scared for her to be honest.

"Hey Liz, what's up?" I asked her and she looked at me like she was screaming inside.

"Nothing much, I'm just, the voices are back." She whispers so nobody will hear and I smile to make sure everyone thinks everything is okay.

"That's not good, I don't know the last time I heard them. It must have been ages ago, and I can't say I know what that feels like because I don't. I don't even know what happens when I'm in that state of mind." I explained to her and she nodded her head as if she understood. She grabbed her forehead in pain and then turned around before mumbling, "See you in class."

And I guess you could call her my best friend, but what scares me is that we are so alike.
