when we awoke in the morning we could hear a soft singing.
“Do you hear that?” I asked walking over to the window and looking out.
“Yeah I do, said Jade.
“What is that? Asked Liz.
“Look! I said pointing to a beautiful lady standing on a big rock near the ocean.
“Who is she? Asked Liz, do you Know her?
“No I don’t, I said turning and running to the door, lets go see!
Liz and Jade ran after me trying to catch up to me because I was a fast runner. When we got outside I ran over to her.
“Who are you? I asked breathing hard.
“Go to Thresher island, said the strange lady, a special surprise awaits you there go tonight or you will not be able to for a whole month and when you get there stop and listen you will hear a voice follow it but beware! no one must know or else you will be in grave danger!” Then she turned around and dived into the water. I dived in after her trying to follow but all I could see was a strange fish-like tail swimming away.
I tried to swim after it but I went to deep into the water. I felt something pulling me I tried to swim away but it was to strong.
“Oh no! I thought, I’m trapped in a currant! I swam as fast as I could but it wasn’t about to let me go. Air! I needed air! And fast. I tried to swim to the surface but the currant held me under. Just as I started to lose consciousness I felt hands on my waist and something pushing me to shore then everything went black.
“Shayna!” I felt someone shaking me, “Shayna say something!”
“I am still tired let me sleep some more! I said rolling over onto my side I felt something underneath me.
What is that I thought to myself. I felt it some more. sand! that’s what it was. Just then I remembered what had happened and I sat bolt upright.
“Where is she!? I asked jumping up. I would have fallen over if Liz and Jade wouldn’t have been there to catch me.
“Take it easy! Said Liz lying me down on the sand again.
“Yeah you almost drowned! Said Jade.
“I-I what? I asked feeling a little dizzy.
“don’t you remember, said Liz, you jumped in the water and you were going to follow, she paused before continuing, follow that lady.
“Oh yeah I remember that, I said, I just don’t remember what she said something about a Thresher island?
“Yeah she said that we need to go there and get a surprise and that we cant tell anyone about it, said Jade.
“Where is Thresher island? I asked, where is it I have never heard of it.
“Actually its that island right there, said Jade turning and pointing to a island about two miles away from where we were standing.
“Oh I was wandering what island that was, I said.
“So do we go there? Asked Liz
“I am not sure that’s a good idea, I said hesitantly.
“What are you talking about!?” Said Jade, “of course we are going!”
“What?” I asked, “are you crazy we are not going there!”
“No I think you’re the one that’s crazy!” Said Jade, “it’s about time something exiting happened around here!”
“It could be a trap for some freaks to kidnap us or something!” I said.
“Well I am going,” said Jade, “how about you Liz?”
“Well I am not sure,” said Liz, it could be dangerous.”
“Ha!” I said.
“But it could be Fun,” Liz said again.
“Ha!” Said Jade.
“You two are unbelievable!” I said, “some lady shows up and tells us to go to some Island that no one has ever been to and you girls just want to dance off to the island as if nothings going to happen!?”
“Nothing will happen!” Said Jade.
“You don’t know that!” I said, “that lady was half fish Something is probably going to happen!” Then I jumped up and almost fell over Liz grabbed for me but I pushed her hands away and ran into the house up the stairs and in my room. When I got into my room I put on my clothes since I was still in my pajamas and underneath my clothes I wore my bathing suit. When I was done changing my clothes I went over and laid down on my bed. I was extremely tired from almost drowning so I fell asleep quickly.
“Go with them, I heard a familiar voice say in my dreams, go with them nothing bad is going to happen go with them quick their about to leave!” I awoke with a start and jumped out of bed yelling:
“Jade! Liz! Wait!” When I found them they were walking out the front door.
“Wait,” I said, “I am coming with you.”
“You are?” Asked Jade, “I thought you said it was dangerous?”
“I did but something told me to come with you,” I said grabbing a bag to fill with food and water.
“And if we are going to go we might as well be ready incase something happens,” I said walking into the kitchen to get bottles of water and to make some sandwiches.
“Liz Jade can you girls come help me with the sandwiches please?” I asked.
“Sure,” said Liz walking into the kitchen.
“Uh I guess,” said Jade following Liz.
“Here,” I said handing Jade a loaf of bread, “can you put mayonnaise and lunch meat on that please?”
“Sure,” she said, getting a butter knife out of the drawer.
“Liz can you get some water bottles out and fill them up?” I asked, “they’re in that cupboard,” I said pointing to the cupboard.
“Ok,” she said walking over to the cupboard and opening it, “hey how many should we take?” she asked.
“Lets take four,” I said, “one extra just in case.”
“Ok,” said Liz filling the bottles up with water.
“All ready?” I asked when Jade was done with the sandwiches.
“Yeah I think we are,” said Jade.
“Oh wait a second,” I said, “I should probably leave a note for my mom and dad.” I walked over to a desk that was sitting next to the door, I opened the drawer and pulled out a sheet of paper and a pen. I scribbled a few words on the paper and put it on the top of the desk.
“Ok lets go,” I said walking to the door.
“What did you say?” asked Jade.
“I wrote that we are going shopping and are going to hang out in town for a while and we should be home around dark,” I said.
“So how are we getting there?” I asked.
“We rented a boat,” said Jade.
“Do either of you have a license?” I asked.
“I don’t,” said Liz.
“Do you have one Jade?” I asked turning to look at her.
“Are you my mother?” asked Jade smiling. I smiled back at her.
“How’d you rent it without a license?” I asked, “don’t you have to show them it?”
“Maybe in America but not here,” she said.
“That’s cool,” I said, “so where is the boat dock?”
“In town near the store, said Liz.
“Ok” I said, “ we should get going its getting late and we want to be back before dark, I said walking faster.
“Yeah we should,” said Liz increasing her speed to catch up with me. We got there after ten minutes of walking.
“Hey I’m here for the boat I rented,” said Jade.
“What name is it rented under?” asked the manager.
“Jade Johnson,” replied Jade.
“Yeah here it is,” he said and handed Jade the key to the boat.
“Thanks,” said Jade turning and walking out of the building, Liz and I followed her out.
“We should get going now,” I said, “its already almost noon.”
“Oh yeah it is,” said Liz.
“There’s our boat,” said Jade, when we walked around the corner.
“ The princess de la mar,” I said, “that’s a cool name for a boat.”
“Yeah it is,” said Jade, “it means princess of the sea.”
“Yeah that’s cool,” I said, “it sounds like a mermaid.”
“Oh yeah it does doesn’t it,” said Liz.
“I hope you at least now how to work the boat,” I said.
“Yeah I do my dad taught me how to when I was little” said Jade.
“That’s good,” I said, walking towards the boat, “its been a while since I have been on a boat, I was only like seven or something.
“Oh wow,” said Jade, “but there is nothing to worry about we’ll be perfectly safe.”
“I sure hope so,” I said. We walked over to the boat and got in.
“Ok lets get going,” said Liz.
“Ok,” said Jade starting the boat. Jade drove the boat for about thirty minutes before we got to Thresher island. It was beautiful. Thresher island was the most beautiful place I had ever been
“Wow this is amazing!” I said, turning in a half-circle to take in all the beauty.
“It sure is,” Said Liz.
“I have never seen anything prettier than this,” said Jade.
“Ok lets get exploring!” I said.
“Which way do you think we should go?” asked Liz.
“Well thae lady said that when we got here we need to stop and listen and we will hear a voice telling us where to go,” I said.
“Oh yeah she did I forgot she said that,” said Jade.
“Ok everyone listen and see if you can hear anything,” I said. Then we fell silent and listened. We didn’t hear anything.
“Maybe if we get closer to the thing we are looking for then we can hear it,” I said, slowly walking forward in the direction of the trees, until I heard someone whispering in my ear.
“Huh?” I asked, turning around, “what did you say I couldn’t hear it.”
“I didn’t say anything,” said Liz.
“Nether did I,” said Jade.
“It must have been the voice lady was talking about!” I pretty much screamed.
“Listen and see if you can hear it again,” said Liz.
“Ok,” I said, “everyone be quiet again.” I stopped and concentrated, listening extremely hard.
“follow my voice,” said a lady’s voice that was so quiet I had to strain my ears to hear it.
“Follow me,” I said to Liz and Jade, who followed without question.
“This way,” said the lady‘s voice coming from the right, I followed it.
“What’s your name?” I asked the lady.
“Sarah,” said the lady’s voice.
“Her name is Sarah,” I said to Liz and Jade.
“through the trees,” said Sarah. I walked through the trees.
“What do you look like Sarah?” I asked, “and why cant Jade and Liz hear you like I can?”
“You’ll see me soon enough,” she replied, “and I’m your guardian not there’s”
“What?” I asked, “I don’t understand.”
“I’m your guardian,” she said, “Julia is Jade’s Laura is Liz’s and I‘m yours.”
“Sarah Julia and Laura,” I said, “wait is it supposed to be like that?”
“Be like what?” Sarah asked.
“Well your name is Sarah my name is Shayna,” I said, “Julia is Jade’s guardian and Laura is Liz’s, all our guardians names have the same first letter in our names.”
“Oh yes well you will learn about that when the time comes,” said Sarah.
“Was it you Julia or Laura that we saw this morning?” I asked.
“Laura,” she replied, “she has a beautiful singing voice.”
“Yes she does,” I replied.
“We’re almost there,” said Sarah.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“Somewhere secret,” she said, “you girls can never tell anyone about it or bring anyone hear.”
“Why not?” I asked, “is it dangerous or something?”
“Only to you girls if you tell anyone,” she said.
“Will Jade see Julia sometime?” I asked.
“Only if Julia wants her to,” she said, “which I’m sure she will sometime.”
“Oh that’s nice I’m sure she will want to meet her,” I said.
“So are you the one that saved me when I was about to drown?” I asked.
“No,” replied Sarah, “that was Laura, I knew that you were in danger so I asked her to help you.”
“How did you know?” I asked.
“We are connected, Shayna,” she replied, “and we always will be.”
“How are we connected,? I asked.
“You’ll find out,” she said, “someday.”
“This is really weird,” I heard Jade whisper to Liz. I turned around, just now realizing that they were still behind me.
“What is?” I asked.
“Well, its like your talking to someone but we cant hear them,” said Jade.
“I’m talking to Sarah,” I said.
“Who’s Sarah?” asked Liz.
“I’m not really sure,” I said.
“Uh that’s reassuring,” said Jade bitterly.
“Hey, Jade cool it ok?” I said, turning to look at her.
“Don’t tell me what to do!” she said glaring at me.
“Hey just chill,” I said, “I don’t want to fight.”
“Well, you started it!” she said.
“No I didn’t!” I yelled at her, “you did.”
“Oh just shut up!” she yelled at me.
“Hey! when did you become such a brat!” I screamed at her.
“Its not me being the brat its you!” screamed Jade.
“Yeah right I was just talking to Sarah and you started screaming at me!” I yelled.
She made me so mad I wanted to slap her across the face.
“Ok I’m out of here!” she screamed at me.
“Good, who needs you!” I screamed at her. Then Jade stormed off.
“I cant believe her!” I said to Liz, “ugh! she’s such a brat! don’t you think she’s a brat?” I asked Liz.
“ Uh I don’t want to take sides in this,” she said.
“I guess your right,” I said, “Wait a minute!”
“What is it?” Liz asked concerned.
“Jade said she was leaving!” I said.
“Yeah so?” asked Liz.
“We only have one boat!” I screamed, turning and running to the beach. When I got there it was gone.
“Oh no!” I said, “she took the boat!”
“Gotcha!” I heard someone yell. I turned and saw Jade in the boat drive around a big rock.
“Jade don’t ever do that again you scared me to death!” said Liz.
“I’m sorry I freaked out at you, Shayna,” said Jade.
“Its ok,” I said, “and I shouldn’t have screamed at you like that.”
“So shall we continue our adventure?” I asked.
“Sure,” said Jade.
“Ok lets go then.” I said, turning and walking back to the place where I had last talked to Sarah.
“Sarah!” I called, “Sarah? Are you still here?”
“Yes, child I’m still here,” I heard her voice say, it sounded tired and a little like she was sick.
“Sarah are you alright?” I asked, “you sound kind of sick.”
“Yes I’m alright, child,” she said, trying to make her voice sound cheerful, but it didn’t work.
“could we come back tomorrow or sometime when your feeling better?” I asked.
“No! child,” she said, “it has to be tonight.”
“Why does it have to be tonight?” I asked.
“It’s a full moon tonight, dear,” she replied.
“Yeah what about the full moon?”
“It’s magical at a certain time tonight when the full moon hit’s the place where we’re going at just the right time” she answered.
“So we came all the way out here to see the full moon?” I asked, my voice showed my disappointment.
“There!” she said, “its up there just beyond those trees.”
“She says its up here girls,” I called to Jade and Liz. We walked to some weeping willow trees, so thick we couldn’t see through them, we pushed back the little strands as if pushing back a curtain and there it was, so beautiful we couldn’t take our eyes off of it. It was a lake that sparkled in the sun, with a waterfall flowing from a cliff about fifteen feet high that created a rainbow in the air, shining in all different colors.
“Wow,” I said.
“Wow,” said Liz.
“Wow,” said Jade.
“This is so cool,” I said.
“it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!” said Liz.
“Its amazing,” said Jade.
“We just might have to buy a boat so we can come here everyday,” I said, turning in circles to see everything.
“I think your right,” said Jade.
“Where we belong,” I whispered under my breath.
“What?” asked Jade.
“It’s a song,” I said, “and it fits this place perfectly”
“Oh,” said Jade, “you sure like songs don’t you?”
“Yeah I really do,” I replied. We hadn’t noticed it yet but it was getting really dark.
“Lets take a break of walking and eat the sandwiches we packed,” said Liz.
“that sounds like a good Idea,” I said, walking over to a rock and sitting down to rest my sore feet.
“Jade can I have the cooler with the food in it please,” I asked, since she had been carrying it.
“Yeah, here it is,” she said, handing me the bag.
“Thanks,” I said.
“Your welcome,” replied Jade. Just then I saw something sparkle in the water.
“Hey look!” I said, jumping up and almost dumping the food.
“What was it?” asked Jade.
“There’s something sparkling in the water,” I said running over to the edge of the lake.
“Probably just a school of silver fish,” said Liz, “I think there is a underwater entrance to this lake, which means its saltwater.”
“No, no it wasn’t fish there were three of them,” I answered, “look there they are!” I said pointing to where I saw the three shining objects.
“Oh yeah I do see them,” said Liz.
“I’m going to go see what they are,” I said, walking closer to the water.
“Wait,” said Liz, “wait until we eat, its been a while since our last meal and you could run out of energy or something.” I rolled my eyes at her.
“Ok fine,” I said, and opened the cooler, “Here,” I said, handing each Liz and Jade a water bottle and a sandwich. I ate fast, trying to hurry so I could go in the water.
“Slow down, Shayna,” said Liz, “ you’ll get sick if you keep eating like that.” I laughed.
“Ok, I’ll slow down,” I said, “ but not all the way, I still want to go see what those are.”
“Well if you wait until I’m done then all go with you,” said Liz.
“Me too,” said Jade, speaking up for the first time in a while.
“Really?” I asked, “wow that’s cool.”
“What’s cool?” asked Jade.
“Well its just Ashley and Nicole would never have gone out there with me,” I said.
“Who?” asked Liz.
“Ashley and Nicole,” I said, putting my head down so Liz and Jade couldn’t see the tears that were forming in my eyes, “they were my best friends back in America.”
“Oh,” said Liz, now noticing that I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
“Why wouldn’t they have gone in with you?” asked Jade. Liz gave her a dirty look as if to say “drop it!” I noticed it and said,
“Its ok, Liz,” I said, wiping the tears from my eyes and off my cheeks, “it’s a good question, sad but good.
“You don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to,” said Liz, glaring at Jade.
“No its ok, I said, “lets just say Nicole didn’t really care for water that much, and when Nicole was around Ashley didn’t like it either.”
“Oh,” said Jade. By the time we got done eating it was dark, but the full moon made it light, you could see everything almost as well as if it was day.
“Ok I’m ready to go in how about you girls?” I asked.
“Now? we’re going in now?” asked Liz, she sounded surprised.
“Well if we don’t do it now we might never come back here to see what they are,” I replied.
“Good point,” said Liz, “ok lets go,” and walked over to the edge of the lake.” Jade and I followed her and I took a step into the water, it was cold. Cold enough to give me goose-bumps.
“I’m going to take off my dry clothes and where my swimming suit so I have dry clothes to change into,” I said, “ you girls should do the same.”
“That’s a good idea,” said Jade, and took off her outer layer of clothing, Liz did the same.
“Ok, are we ready?” I asked.
“Yeah I think we are,” Said Liz. By this time the full moon was almost in the center of the sky.
“Wow its getting late now,” said Jade. I stepped into the water, it was so cold it sent shivers up my spine.
“It sure is cold!” I said. I took another step forward, then another, until I was waist deep in the water. By now I was shivering,
“I wish there was a way to make this water warmer,” said Jade. She was right behind me, her teeth were chattering so loud I could hear them. Then we got into water that went up to our necks, so we had to start swimming. When we were out in the middle of the lake we could barely see the three silver objects.
“I’ll go under and see if I can get them,” I said.
“Be careful,” said Liz, she looked worried.
“Jeez Liz, if someone saw you it would look like I’m going on a dangerous mission!” I joked. Liz tried to laugh normally, but it sounded more like a worried sigh. I took a deep breath, went under water and opened my eyes. The salt water stung a little, but I kept them open, I was getting closer, and closer. I extended my arm and finally got close enough to touch one of the objects. My fingers rapped around one of them, I scrambled to the surface, gasping for breath.
“Shayna are you ok?” Liz wailed.”
“I-I’m fine,” I said, in between gasps. I held up the object I had grabbed, it was a silver locket, the size of a quarter, but oval instead of round, and had a light aquamarine gemstone in the middle of a ring of flowers stamped on the locket.
“Its beautiful!” I said, running my finger over it. I opened it, and scrached in the middle of it was a big S.
“Wow!” said Liz, “its amazing.”
“Who’s gonna go down next?” I asked.
“I will,” said Jade.
“Be careful,” I said, “it was pretty hard getting this one.”
“I will be,” said Jade. Then she took a deep breath and went under. It was some time before she came up again. When she finally did, she held up a locket, just like the one I had, except it had a ruby in the middle instead of a aquamarine.
“Ok I guess its my turn now,” said Liz. She took a deep breath, went under, and came up a few seconds later.
“I didn’t take a deep enough breath,” said Liz. She went under again, and didn’t resurface.
“Where is she?” Jade screamed.
“I’m going after her!” I said. Just then she came up.
“Oh Liz we were so worried!” said Jade. Liz didn’t answer, she was gasping for breath and coughing up water.
“Are you alright?” I asked.
“Yeah I-I’m fine,” said Liz. She raised up her hand, in it was the last silver locket, with a sapphire on the front.
“Now we have matching friendship necklaces,” I said. Just then the moon was directly in the middle of the sky, a huge beam of moonlight shone down directly on us, blue and silver bubbles swirled around us and floated up to the sky.
“What the heck is going on?” said Jade.
“I don’t know,” I said, looking around.
“This is really weird!” said Liz. Then it stopped. Just stopped.
“Lets get out of here!” said Jade.
“I agree!” I said, and swam to shore with Liz and Jade right behind me. We quickly put on our dry clothes and started walking. We walked to the beach and got in the boat,
“We better hurry,” I said, “In my note I tolled my mom we would be home around dark.”
“Ok!” said Jade, she turned the boat on full power.
“Woo hoo!” I yelled, the salt water sprayed against my face, “this is fun!”
“Slow down!” yelled Liz, “your going to fast!”
“Oh alright,” said Jade, slowing down. We didn’t say much the rest of the boat ride, I had put the silver locket around my neck and held it in my fingers the most of the time. When we arrived to the boat dock, the manager was still there.
“There you are!” yelled the manager, “I’ve been waiting for hours!”
“Sorry,” said Jade, “we kinda got distracted.”
“I’ll say you did!” he said, “do you know what time it is?” he didn’t wait for an answer, “its almost three in the morning!”
“Yeah I know it is!” said Jade, “here’s your dumb money!” she pushed the money into his hand.
“Oh thanks!” said the manager sarcastically.
“Come on girls!” said Jade, “lets get out of here.” after we had walked about five minutes, I decided to try to ease the tension.
“You girls had better spend the night at my house again tonight,” I said, “ your mom and dad might not like it if you come home at three in the morning!”
“Your right,” said Liz.
“Besides my mom and dad are going on a business trip in the morning and wont be back until late tomorrow,” I said, “you girls can keep me from getting lonely.”
“That sounds like a plan,” said Liz. Jade hadn’t said anything for some time now.
“Is something wrong Jade?” I asked.
“No,” said Jade, she had a mean tone in her voice.
“Oh come on Jade!” I said, “your not going to let a jerk like that upset you, are you?”
“No I wont,” said Jade.
“Well come on then!” I said, “we have got to get home, my mom’s going to kill me!” Jade laughed,
“Hopefully not,” Jade said, “then Liz and I would lose our new best friend!” I laughed. When we arrived home, no lights were on in the house.
“Good I think they’re asleep” I whispered, I walked over to the door and opened it a crack, I looked in and couldn’t see anyone, so I opened the door slowly, I stepped inside and bumped into the desk near the door, a lamp almost fell over, but I caught it just before it hit the ground.
“whoa that was close,” I whispered. I kept moving forward, my heart was thumping loudly, I was sure Liz and Jade could hear it.
“I don’t think anyone is awake” I whispered, I walked forward a little more, making sure my footsteps were as quiet as I could make them. I heard a loud thump behind me I turned around, just to see Liz with a face full of the wall. I burst out laughing, I tried to keep quiet, but I couldn’t keep it in, I put my hand over my mouth to try to muffle my laugh, it helped a little but not much.
“I cant believe you walked into a wall!” I said, I couldn’t control my laughter.
“Who put that wall there!?” said Liz, she faked being mad. It made me laugh louder.
“Shh!” said Jade, “your going to wake everybody!” she was laughing, too, but quieter then I was.
“I’m sorry!” I said, “I cant help it!” I bit my tongue to try to stop laughing, it worked, so I started to walk backwards, and smacked into something, I whipped around to see my mom standing there,
“Uh…..we were just…..uh,” I couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Where were you girls!?” asked my mom, “and don’t you tell me you were out shopping! The stores closed three hours ago!”
“We….uh….were,” I looked over to Jade and Liz for help.
“We were at my sisters house watching a movie,” said Jade, she looked over at me and smiled.
“Really?” asked my mom.
“Yeah we were,” said Liz. My mom stared at me, she had that look that says “if your lying you are so grounded!”
“Its true,” I said, I smiled at Jade and mouthed “ thanks I owe you!” she looked at me and mouthed “No problem.” my mom turned and started to walked away,
“get to bed!” she growled.
“Ok, good night!” I called to her. I turned to Jade and Liz, “that was close!”
“Yeah it was!” said Jade, she laughed, “if it wasn’t for me she would have skinned you alive!”
“Yeah I know! Lucky for me you were here!” I said, “now we had better get upstairs before she comes back!”
“Yeah we should,” said Liz, she turned and started to walk up the stairs, Jade and I followed her up them. I yawned,
“I’m really tired,” I said, “probably from our little adventure tonight.”
“Shh! What if you mom hears you!” said Jade.
“She’s not going to hear me,” I said, “I can already hear her snoring!” Jade Laughed, she yawned too, “wow I’m really tired too,” she said. She quickened her pace up the stairs, I quickened mine to keep up with her.
“So Jade you have a nineteen year-old sister right?” I asked.
“Yeah I do, Emily is her name,” she said, “Why?”
“Oh no reason, only that my mom is going to call your sister and ask if we were really there and……,” she didn’t let me finish.
“And you want me to tell my sister to say we were there, right?” she asked.
“Yeah pretty much!” I said. She laughed.
“Ok, consider it done,” she said, “she wakes up pretty early so I’ll call her first thing in the morning.”
“Cool,” I said, by this time we had already walked into my room, I yawned again, “ I don’t think I have enough energy to even change into my PJ’s.”
“Nether do I,” said Jade, she flopped down on the bed, “I’m just going to sleep in these clothes.”
“I cant sleep in denim things so I’ll just change into my PJ shorts,” I said, I walked over to my dresser, pulled out one of my drawers I reached in and grabbed my light blue shorts with dark blue vertical stripes on it, “I’ll be right back,” I said, I headed for my bathroom that was right across the hall from my room, I quickly changed into my shorts and walked back into my room, I flopped down on my bed, “Good night Jade, good night Liz.”
“Good night Shayna, good night Liz,” said Jade.
“Good night Jade, good night Shayna,” said Liz.
“Ok enough of that!” I said. Jade and Liz Laughed, I reached over and switched my lamp off. We all fell asleep within five minutes of laying down.
