The Night Walk

Chapter 15

Both Sam and Cameron are now sitting on the chairs facing Cameron's study table which is big enough for two people use.

"You'll divide this 5 to here" Sam points at the part of the notebook.

But Cameron slumps his head aggressively on the table creating a loud thud as a sign of his frustration "UGH!! Why do we have to learn this!?" he then looks at Sam with a mixed emption on his face of frustration and confusion.

Because earlier, Cameron decides that he'll ask Sam to help him study the subject since he'll have a hard time learning the subject without any guidance. And Cameron must've forgotten about it right now.

Sam sweats awkwardly at Cameron's action while his eyes are closed "Well, we have to?" 

'And also, does that even hurt? That thud is so loud that if I were in another room, I might be able to hear it' he looks to the side as he thinks of it, he looks at Cameron's forehead and he could see a red mark on it.

"Ah! Your forehead!" he panicked, he stands up and is about to leave the room look for something that could help with the red bruise until Cameron stops him.

Sam turns around to check up on Cameron, but he sees him just placing two fingers on his forehead and didn't look bothered "Oh this? It's fine" as if he's trying to reassure Sam but that only made Sam even worried.

"No, it's not! Look how red it is!" he stares at the red bruise on Cameron's forehead in full worry.

This annoys Cameron, he didn't want to make a big deal out of this which causes a vein to pop on his cheek "Just sit your ass down!" he pulls Sam harshly back on his seat.

But as Sam was forced to sit back down, he immediately reached for his back and takes out his bottled water that's covered with handkerchief and it seems to have cold water inside "Here" he then shoves it onto Cameron's forehead, but not harshly that it could hurt the boy, just a force that's enough for Cameron to react fast and hold onto the bottle.

"What the" and Cameron with a mixed emotion of annoyance and question looks at the bottle that he's now holding, he wanted to ask more question, but Sam just pushes him back on his chair forcing him to sit down with his back leaned on the chair "Huh!?"

Sam too, who seems to be in a fast motion reaction places a blanket over him "I know I look crazy, but you injured your forehead, and you just got better from your sickness, so I want you to rest for now and let me do your note for you" she gave him a smile of commandment, as if he will do his work for him and that's it.

And for the first time, Cameron didn't fight back and immediately obeys him as he nods "Okay", so he sits back and rests for him, and now, his body is telling him to sleep as if he felt like his sickness came back, he then lifts both his feet off the ground and places it on the chair and covers it with blanket too while holding the bottled water on his forehead keeping it in place.

Sam seems to be working on the notes for him as he lets for him to rest, as Cameron's body is telling him to sleep, his brain is saying not to because there's another person in his room and who knows what he might do to him, he just unknowingly stares at Sam who keeps on working on the notes.

"Just rest please, so you can recover fully" Sam said with now a gentle tone, he's not taking his eyes off the notes, but he can feel that Cameron is staring at him.

Cameron weakly nodded not wanting to argue back since he felt his fever coming back. 

'Probably because I moved a lot while recovering and hurting myself after just recovering' is what he thinks.

The room is silent, no noise could be heard but the pen writing on paper, they both didn't like such silence as it filled awkward.

Sam puts on his headphones that's been hanging around his neck and decides on a music he'll silently sing along with.

'If I will sing right now, it has to be something relaxing and not rocky since he's sick right now...'

He plays one of the love songs saved on his phone.

(Song by James Aurthur feat. Anne Marie - Rewrite the Stars)

Cameron is still trying to not fall asleep, like again, there is someone else inside his room, he hears that voice again from last night, the one who kept singing during the night, he looks at Sam who singing while writing some notes.

"You know I want you~" Sam sang, right now only focusing on the notes.

Sam just looks down on the papers only keeping his focus on its "It's not a secret I try to hide~"

As he writes down some numbers on the given examples, Cameron is unknowingly listening to him "I know you want me~" 

"So don't keep saying our hands are tied~" for what Cameron is hearing is such an angelic mixed with a romantic voice of Sam singing.

"You claim it's not in the cards~"

"But fate is pulling you miles away~"

"And out of reach for me~"

With Sam's singing, Cameron somehow feels relaxed just by hearing Sam's voice as he still tries to stay away but seems to refuse what his body is telling him to do so.

"But you're here in my heart~"

"So who can stop me if I decide~"

"That you're my destinyyyy~~~"

And somewhat reason, Cameron feels a light weight on his chest as he hears that line, and he now could feel himself slowly falling asleep. He's not gonna stop Sam, after all, his voice isn't bothering that much so he lets him sing, he also finds his voice relaxing at this point.

"What if we rewrite the stars?~"

"Say you were made to be mine~"

"Nothing could keep us apart~"

"You'd be the one I was meant to find~"

And again, that feeling that Cameron felt earlier such as the light weight on his chest and now a single butterfly in his stomach flattering around is also making him drift into sleep more.

"It's up to you~"

"And it's up to me~"

"No one can say what we get to be~"

"So why don't we rewrite the stars?~"

"Maybe the world could be ours~"

"Tonight~"

And now it's just a bunch of humming, and with that last line, Cameron has now fallen asleep without even realizing it, guess Sam's singing helps his body to sleep, with that angelic and romantic voice of his, he surely no doubt that he can make anyone fall in love with him without even trying.

Sam takes off his headphones for a bit to check up on Cameron, the sound of the bottled water could be heard a noise which a thud on the ground, he looks at Cameron and sees that he's asleep and peacefully.

'That position seems uncomfortable...'

He stands up and carefully lifts Cameron in his arms, carefully to the wake him up, he walks over to the bed, he could feel that parts of the blanket covering Cameron around his legs and small parts of it has reached the floor, as he reached the bed, he carefully and gently placed Cameron on it making him lay on his back with his head lying on the soft pillows. He looks at Cameron to make sure he doesn't wake up and carefully removes his hands underneath the sleeping Cameron, then he fixes the blanket over him.

'Wow, he's really peaceful isn't he...'

He then takes his eyes off of Cameron as he heads out of his room, seemingly to get something.
