      It took two days, but we eventually found where the creek connected to the ocean and we found our way home. When we found our home, we swam in eagerly and didn't leave for area days. When we did come out, we were greeted by our neighbors, who had noticed that'd we'd been gone. The rest of the week flew by and Niana's best friend, Ricko, threw us a Welcome Home party. It was at that party that Niana had her first kiss and I had my first boyfriend. (Ricko had a younger brother!)

      After the party, Niana and I stayed at Ricko's and watched movies as we cuddled with our boyfriends. When I looked into Niana's eyes and she smiled, that was the first time in a long time that I felt safe and like everything might just be okay.
