Toya leaned over and kissed my head. "Let's stop talking about it." She pulled back a little more and fluffed my
hair. "Wendy, handthe blow dryer."
Wendy got up and handed the cast aside dryer. But | turned You don't have to."
Toya pulledback like my mom used to do when | was little. "Sit still. You can't go to bed with wet hair. And
you can't get sick. We have a long day ahead and need to be up in a few hours." She clicked on the hair dryer
and Wendy cover and whispered in Toya's ear, then she slipped her shoes on and left.
"Where is she going?" | yelled over the sound.
Toya leaned closer and spoke directly in my ear as she continued to blow dry my hair. "She needed to grab some
things from our place. She will be back in a minute."
| just nodded because | was too exhausted to ask. | leaned against my own knees with my eyes closed as Toya
dried my soaked hair. It was the most peaceful feeling | have had since | was a child.
| hadn't realized how tired | was until Wendy was shakingawake. "Amy, it's tto go to bed." | lifted my

"What happened?"
She smiled as she wrapped her arms underand lifted. "You fell asleep."
"Where is Toya?" | automatically wrapped my arms around her neck, like | did when | was five and my father took
Wendy laughed and carriedto my room. "Toya is changing. And you madethis strong with all your
grueling workouts."
She placedat the foot of the bed and walked around to pull the covers down. | realized belatedly that she
was in a tank top and sweatpants. "I'm sorry for keeping you two up so late." Wendy caround and picked me
up again. | wanted to fight, but my eyes could barely stay open
"Don't be." She slidinto my bed, pulling the covers up | wanted to be here." Then she walked around the bed
and slipped in next to me.
"Wendy?"
"Yeah, Amy?" She snuggled into the middle of my bed, and wanted to laugh.
"What are you doing?" | could hear my words slurring.
The bedroom door opened, and Toya cin, wearing a tank and sshorts. "We are sleeping here."
| cracked an eye. "You don't have to."
Toya just shook her head as she slid in next to Wendy. "You are foolish if you think we are leaving you after
everything that happened today." She pulled the blanket up and we all settled into a cool silence.
| colled over to face them. "You forgot to turn off the light.
Toya rolled to facewith a grin "You're a bitch, you are lucky I love you." She slipped out of the bed with mine
and Wendy's laughter chasing her. She clicked off the light and the soft recessed lighting across the room
flickered to life. "Wait, you have a night light?" Toya slipper back into the bed with a smile on her face. "A grown
woman with a night light."

A soft chuckle escaped me. "Normally, | turn them off." | pointed to a button built into my side table.
"Normally?" Wendy cracked her eye.
"If it doesn't bother either of you. Would it be okay if | kept it on?"
Wendy opened both eyes and facedfully, and Toya popped up on her elbow. "Amy?" Wendy's soft voice had
this calming effect.
"I'm okay." | could hear the lie in my voice, but | pushed on "Or | will be okay. But tonight, tonight I'm five again

bed, and Toya had caround to my side.
"Move." Her voice was soft, but she pushedinto the middle of the bed without givinganyway to say no.
Then she slid in behind me.
"This isn't necessary." | tried to argue, but when their hands wrapped around my middle, | felt the tight ball of
panic that | had in my chest ease just a little.
"It might not be," Wendy started.
"But it makes us feel better, too." Toya finished.
| sighed as Toya pulled the blankets up aroundagain. | settled into their arms, and when | closed my eyes,
the Mara didn't jump out at me. | felt safe and | guess
| needed this more than I thought I did. Their breathing was already soft and slow.
| had thought they had already fallen asleep. "Thank you."
Toya snuggled in closer. "You are our best friend, Amy."
