Shelby

So I wasn't in a dream, but at that point I needed to get away from it.

So I just closed my eyes and I refused to open them.

I just couldn't do it.

It was too scary.

And so I was just holding my friend

And waiting for something to just go away.

Or hopefully they would go bother someone else.

But I was so terrified and confused about what was happening.

Because it's never happened to me in any way like that before.

My heart is pounding out of my chest.

I wake up my friend again.

This time...

I'm still a four-year-old, but I'm like, Sarah, there is a ghost in here.

I'm sorry I'm waking you up, but I'm freaked out.

And at that point, I am gripping her.

We are spooning.

There is no way this girl is getting out of my grip because I'm so fucking scared out of my mind.

I'm almost laughing because I'm clocking the amount of time that I might have to go through this because I was self-conscious about waking everybody up, turning on a light, because that was just too...

childish.

I just kind of was like, I'm writing this out.
