After Ellie died, it was just Nina and me, In a way her death brought us closer. we were both broken people, Nina lost her sister and I lost my friend. We became inseparable since, Lila and Nina, friends forever. We talked endlessly about our problems but mostly we talked about Ellie, they never found out who killed her. Nina missed her a lot, even after all these years, I could see it in the way she talked about her.

But lately Nina has changed a lot, and so have her parents. They used to be so nice to me before, always asking me to stay for dinner, taking me with them to their family trips, I don't know what I did wrong but I don't think they like me anymore. Last week was the third anniversary of Ellie's death, we always made her favorite food for dinner in her honor but when I reached their place, they hadn't set a place for me. It hurts me so much to think that I'm losing yet another friend. Even today at school, when Gigi pretended that I didn't exist, Nina didn't say anything and she has always stood up for me. She's been ignoring me all day, If only I knew what she was mad about.

When we reach home she sits down to write her diary. The doctor suggested it after Ellie's death, it helps her express her emotions. I know I shouldn't but I peek at it from behind.

"Dear Diary", She writes.

"I haven't seen Lila all day. They say that invisible friends start fading away after some time, maybe that's what is happening. Maybe I am getting better."

Tears streak my cheek, I am filled with hurt and rage. I grab the knife Nina keeps under her pillow, I have never felt this angry, not since the day Ellie looked at me in the eye and said "you're not real"
