I had an imaginary friend when I was younger. She was called Anniver. My mum has since told that I named her this becsue I had just learnt the word anniversary! Anniver looked like me, but had different coloured clothes to me! She would come everywhere with us, my mum would put the seatbelt round her in the car, just like she did me! But one day, mum forgot to hold the car door open for Anniver to get in! Sadly, Anniver was crushed in the door when my mum slammed it and died from her injuries! Recently I've thought that I could've kept her alive, as she was in my imagination, but I think it must've been time for me and Anniver to part ways and grow up seperately.
