"Shh... don't wake her." I heard a voice say.
"Be quiet." Another one said.
"No you be-"
"What's the commotion, guys?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Alex," Hanna said slowly, "We are talking about yesterday but not the whole day. We're talking about a thing which happened. We're talking about-"
"Alex, Alex honey are you in there?" Ashley, Hanna's mom, said.
"Yeah Ashley, I'm in here." I said. Hanna and I called each other's mom by their names.
"Ah good," she said, "I-"
