Soft crying filled the night. Lizzy Bennett sat curled up on her bed, sobbing. Will Darcy, her best friend who was staying over, looked at her with sad eyes. He walked over, sat on her bed, and awkwardly put his arm around her shoulders. Lizzy startledly looked up.
"What's wrong, Lizzy?" Will asked. He was concerned for his friend. He had never seen her so upset. She wiped a tear from her cheek.
"I had a nightmare."
"What was in your nightmare?"
"I had a dream that you and Mummy and Daddy and Janey and Kitty and Lyddie and Mary had gone and left me." Lizzy was full on crying. Will hugged her.
"You know that'll never happen, Lizzy. We all love you, we'd never leave you." Lizzy looked at Will.
"We'll always be friends, won't we?"
"Of course we will. I love you Lizzy."
"I love you too Will."
