the end
"What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say ma'am is that Ophelia's best friend, George, did not exist. George was most likely a person she created in her mind and had consistent visions of."
"But...That isn't possible... It can't be true-"
"Sorry ma'am but that is one of the symptoms of the schizoaffective disorder. It was natural for Ophelia to have had realistic hallucinations when she was alive."

"I can't believe she's gone."
"It's your fault."
"How dare you say that! I was doing my best as a mother-"
"Abigail. You forgot didn't you?"
"Forgot what, Margeret?"
"That I'm the George to your Ophelia."

A Postface
Just in case you didn't understand the story. It is based on the life of Ophelia who was born with the schizoaffective disorder.
At the beginning of 'baby girl', the symptoms of the disorder were not obvious, as she was only a child. It was only until she was taken to the hospital when her parents found out that she had a mental illness of some sort. Her father was not appreciative of this fact and gained a heavy disapproval for his daughter.
Moving on to 'censored exposure', the symptoms of the disorder increased drastically as the hallucinations started to become more impactful and realistic in the eyes of Ophelia. Her parents had brought her to a psychologist and that was when they got the confirmation of her disorder. Ophelia's parents kept their distance from her for a while, not knowing or really understanding what to do with her. This left an emotional impact on Ophelia herself and gave her some form of trauma. Her parents then ended up deciding that she should be homeschooled instead and was not allowed out of the house unless granted permission. This left Ophelia with spare time to create a friend of her own, George. George then became an essential part of Ophelia, and thus led to Ophelia's dependence on him. George is actually a part of Ophelia's mind and he manages to control her thoughts by giving her ideas on how her parents saw Ophelia as their daughter.
At the last part of the story in 'oh my, oh dear'. Ophelia finds herself struggling to keep up with all the emotional baggage she has been storing. She goes into a subconscious depression and gets physically abused by her father. A failed session of social interaction with normal teenagers starts a fire within Ophelia. She starts to have suicidal thoughts and harms herself especially when George does not appear. She creates her own personal enemy and destroys her self-esteem as well as any motivation to stay alive. She is then coerced by George to just kill herself and rid of her disease of a disorder so that she wouldn't need to feel anymore. She then confesses to George that she loves him and drowns on the same night. When in actual fact she was admitting to herself that she loved who she was no matter how disgusted she felt about herself.
'the end' uncovers the secret that the schizoaffective disorder was actually passed on to Ophelia from her own mother, who had spent her entire life thinking that Margeret was real. When Margeret was in actual fact a part of her subconscious.
