I sigh as I watch Jessica. She can't see me anymore. You see, us imaginary friends are forgotten by our children as they grow up. We are allowed to watch them grow up until they turn thirteen. Jessica is twelve now, She will be turning thirteen in a few weeks and I will be sent back to my realm.

Parts of me are already fading away.

I look down at my hands. They are slowly pixelating into nothing-ness.

It's sad that I'll be back in that realm soon. I'm so used to being Jessica's friend that i have forgotten what that realm was like. Strange huh? How you get used to things so easily that you forget what it was like before.

Ah, but I digress.

Jessica has grown so much since that day, she is no longer the shy girl she was. She has so many friends now, it's no wonder I was forgotten.

A small smile forms on my lips as I watch her and her friends talk about fashion.

"Ariana, did you see that cute dress in that new clothes shop?" Jessica asks her friend, Ariana.

"Which one? There were so many!" Ariana laughs.

"I think she was talking about the midnight blue one." her friend Alisha replies.

I chuckle as I watch them, she has definetly changed. Sometimes I wish it would go back to the times me and her spent together. I still hold those memories close to my heart. The way she laughed whenever I did something foolish, how she'd sing along to the songs in the movies she watched. I remember how we would run around her garden playing tag or how we'd sit reading in her room if it was raining.

If only it was that way again...
