Aimee’s Story

When this event occurred, I was sleeping beside my best friend in her double bed with my back to her. 

I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard my name being whispered, but I didn’t reply, and then I felt someone really lightly pick up my plait and give it a very light tug. 

When I turned around to face her she was fast asleep with her back to me and didn’t even stir.
