The First Night

As he got into bed, he thought about where Jay would sleep. He quick got some branches off of the tree next to his house, and used some spare rubber bands to put them together. He set it right next to the always open window (he promised Jay he wouldn’t close it). As Jeremy and Jay went to bed, Jeremy whispered about his past, and Jay pateintly and quietly listened. When he was done with his story, Jeremy wiped off the teardrops on his cheeks and checked up on Jay. He was still awake, as if he was listening the whole time. “I probably kept you awake with my ranting and raving,” Jeremy said to him, then got back into bed.
No, Jay thought, You have an interesting past and I’m glad you told me about it. I’ll see you in the morning, Jeremy.
Jay got comfortable and soon fell asleep, as soon as he knew Jeremy was sleeping, too.
