My body has become so numb from just lying still in one position. It was still nighttime. Even if the day were to break, I was sure I still wouldn't be able to see a thing because of the way the tall trees formed canopies covering the sky and not allowing any light to penetrate through it. That was how thick the tree branches were.
Suddenly I heard rustling of leaves behind me. Maybe it was Cindy or Milo. Were they finally here? I wished it was them. I know it was selfish of me to wish my friends are going through what I am going through but I can't just take it anymore. According to the story our moms told us, it was the three of them that woke the woman. Why should I be the only one suffering?
