"How was school, Gianna?" my mom asked me as I walked in the front door. I'm clueless as to why she still asks that question - She knows the answer. School was usually boring.
"Fine. I'm just really tired, and I don't feel like staying down here for dinner.. Sorry," I replied. I just wasn't feeling up to it for some reason. I felt a mixture of nausea and depression as I thought back to the crow. Should I tell mom? No, she would only think of a rational reason.
"Well, are you sure? We're having hot pockets?" mother told me on my way up the stairs. I nod my head and continue to walk.

It was 12:09PM, and I was so tired. Yet, I couldn't sleep. All nights were like that for me.
I laid in my bed, thinking about random things. Then the one topic I wanted to forget forever came up in my mind. Ella. Since I was 4, I was a very lonely child. I had barely any more than 2 friends in my childhood, not including Ella.
I thought of Ella when I was about 8 or 9. I loved the name Ella, and I used to wish that was my name. Then my little self had a brilliant idea of making an "Ella" in my head. Long, dark brown hair, rosy cheeks, and golden-brown eyes. My dream look.
I closed my eyes. I miss her so much. She was a great friend. No, she wasn't a friend. She wasn't real. Ella was just somebody made up in my mind to fill in the loneliness inside me. Besides, I have Cara now. A real friend. Not made up, and not perfect.
Thinking about how lucky I am to have Cara, I drifted off into sleep. Little did I know, the nightmare I would have was going to scar my mind for a long, long time.
