Why Do People Suddenly Turn To An English Major

Spm English essay 2009. I'm not sure if I did a major mistake that could ruin my grade. Help!?

For my essay, I chose the question for "Write a story ended with "We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways."

I ran out of ideas so I wrote about a girl who encountered her childhood imaginary friend,Jimmy in her bathroom one day. Turns out that she had some kinda mental problem and had made him up when her father left her and her mom when she was 4 years old.Her mother brought her to see a psychiatrist when she was eleven and she managed to lead a normal life till he suddenly appeared when she was 17. After that I wrote she realized it's time for her to grow up and she had no space for him in her life. The story ends with her rushing up the stairs determined to end her friendship with him with the sentence "We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways." Since I had no time, I just wrote what she said and his expression when she said that. Didnt give much description of characters though.

I'm worried that the SPM examiner will refer to my idea as immature. Most people wrote about their friends. Didn't think of that... I'm also worry that it's not relevant to the last sentence.

I didnt get a chance to edit my writing. Ran out of time :(
