Those two girls were fighting like puppies. I stared at them. Everything reminded me of her...of my Stella. I thought of those days, when she used to get super drunk. I used to bring her back home. She used to talk like a crackhead when she was drunk. I kept complaining about it. But now, I miss them too. 

Suddenly I remembered all the things that happened that night in the hospital. When the words "Who are you?" came out of her mouth...after a long time I felt pain. A heavy pain. Like all the doors were shutting. Like I was trapped in a never-ending alley. 

It was like the world was shrinking. I felt like my feet was fastened. I couldn't move. It was like my entire life was a lie. The memories I had with her, everything was slowly fading. It was like someone stabbed me...with a thousand knives. 

The one I loved the most, the one I trusted the most, now stood right in front of me. But she didn't know me. According to her, I was just the same person as the one in the next ward. A stranger. A complete STRANGER. 

I wanted to run away. I kept telling myself it was just a dream. Or a nightmare to be specific. I didn't wanna believe any of it. But I had to. Cos what was in my hand...is gone. And I shall not...probably never...get it back.

When her parents asked me not to come in her life again, I was taken aback. But words did not come out my mouth. I had just walked out of the hospital, without saying anything. But every step was getting heavier. 

Every step showed how far I was getting away from everything, from her. Every step was like erasing every memory, about her, about us. But the truth was only she forgot ever thing. I couldn't. My heart was pounding. But I couldn't do anything. I couldn't, cause it was all my mistake after all. 

"Anna, you alright. You've been staring at those two girls for quite a long time. They're probably gonna think that your a kidnapper. Or probably a serial killer" he said with wearing a concerned look on his face. 

But all I could do was smile weakly. But, just like usual times, it was fake one. I haven't smiled for a while. Probably for years. Cause, the reason behind my smile is not here with me. And all I could do was, act. Act to every person. 

"No I'm fine. I was just thinking about stuff" I said giving the best smile I could. I got used to this. Often these memories came back to my mind. And all I could do was put on a fake smile. Or at times, when I was alone, I screamed out or sometimes...break things. Nothing serious. But I usually broke the mirror, or something else. 

But of course I couldn't do anything like that now. "This lady does have a lot of secrets I guess." he said while adjusting his imaginary glasses and acting like a FBI agent. "Nice guess" I said. "But that's of no use Mr. Ape." I said wearing a smirk.

He gave me that completely disgusted expression. "Ah, not my fault. You won't tell anything to even your best friend who carried 'Miss Pig' ." I just gave him a death glare and left to prepare something to eat.

Author's note:

Even though there are so many people in this world, a best friend can do anything to your life. They can make you happy in even the worst times. But when everything stops, it feels like you don't wanna live anymore. I wrote this episode for people who had similar experiences. I know it's difficult to move on. But if your friendship was true... things might change. So please don't forget them or hurt yourself in the process. Thank you.
