Sam stayed awake for a while, just listening to the crickets outside of their tent, and Carl's snores. It was probably his new favorite thing from now on, Carl's snores. It calmed him, made him feel safe and... Relaxed and comfortable.

Sam was waking up in the tent, he sat up and looked around him, he didn't see Carl beside him, "Babe?" He called out as he put his shoes on and stepped outside of the tent, thinking Carl was outside.

Sam didn't see Carl anywhere, he began to worry, "Carl?!" He shouted, loudly, he turned every direction, looking for his friend, boyfriend.

"SAM!"

Sam's head snapped over to the direction of the edge of the cliff, he walked over and looked down, seeing Carl in the water.

Sam didn't think twice, he jumped into the water below, not giving a care about his clothes or shoes.

he swam to Carl, trying to grab his hand, "Sam, it's got me." Carl spoke to him, he looked like he'd been crying.

"Hold on, I'll get you out."

"no! Just save your-" Carl was suddenly pulled under the water with a loud piercing scream.

"NO!" Sam shouted, he went under the water with him, he swam down to try and grab Carl's hand, but he couldn't reach him, Carl was pulled down deeper, reaching his arm out for Sam.

Sam stopped as Carl was out of his sight under him.

"Fuck!" Sam screamed in the water, he swam up above to get air, but he was grabbed by his ankle, he looked and saw him.

he tried to kick his father off of him but he couldn't, he was pulled down deeper into the water, he tried to reach above the water but he was far down from it, he felt his chest hurt, his ears rang, he felt like he was dying. Maybe he was. He was drowning, just like Carl.

Bubbles came from his mouth, floating to the top, he watched as he couldn't see the top of the water anymore, he closed his eyes, giving up to get free, he suddenly went limb, just sinking to the bottom of the water, dying.

He drowned. just died, in the middle of the lake.

Sam Blake woke up in sweat, he sat up and breathed heavily, he looked around, he was in the tent, it was dark outside, he looked beside him, seeing Carl asleep beside him, snoring softly.

"it was just a dream." Sam whispered to himself, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, he picked up Carl's phone and checked the time.

three am.

Sam went and grabbed his bag, opening the front of pocket, he pulled out a water bottle and a small pill bottle container.

he opened the lid to the pill bottle, pouring two blue capsule pills into the palm of his hand, he put them in his mouth and opened the water bottle, drinking it.

he put the lids back on the two bottles, putting them away in his bag.

Sam carefully got up and walked out of the tent, he sat down on the ground, just staring at the cliff edge.

He was now scared, he couldn't go back to sleep after having that dream.

he just stayed up until the Sun was rising.
