There was a little boy, both standing in-between two adults, who seems to be in a big argument as the woman seems to be shouting at the man, and the man who seems to be defending himself with words, the little boy could only look up left to right over and over on whoever he could hear the most in the argument. It's a messy argument with the man who seems to be in a verge of tears while the woman has a very messy hair with a mess up expression. Meaning messes up, she has a dark and terrifying expression on her face.

"Cristina, I have been telling you for the past few months, you need help! You've been acting like this ever since you received that phone call!" the little boy shifts his head to the man who seems to be giving the woman a reason.

The woman then picks up a vase from a table and threw it at the man causing it to shatter everywhere, being one of the shards to fly at the little boy's cheek causing it to have a small cut. And for the man who took most of the hit, he now has many glass shards on his arm which explains that he had block it using his arm.

"!WHAT THE HELL CRISTINA!!" the yelled at the woman with a mix of fear, anger and surprise.

"I TOLD YOU!! I DON"T NEED HELP JEREMY!!! I AM OKAY!!!" the woman's yell echoed through the entire house with her face becoming crazy, this sent shiver down the man's spine. The woman, Cristina then turns to the little boy as her expression became twisted "What are you looking at you little SHIT!!" she was about to slap the little boy, but the man stopped her by blocking her using his body as he holds her tightly.

"CRISTINA!! THAT"S OUR SON!! I TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEED HELP!!!!" the man, Jeremy is doing his best to hold Cristina as she's now hitting Jeremy to let her go.

But the little boy didn't know what to do as he just stands there frozen is fear as the small cut on his cheek is starting to run down it. He really couldn't do anything but to stand there and all he could hear is the man screaming for the woman to stop and the woman screaming at the man to let her go.

But then, a soft and worried voice echoed through the little boy's head.

"Hey, wake up" the worried voice said. Just then, he felt himself being shaken "Cameron, wake up" that voice again said with a worried tone, and just then, the scene starts to twist as it's to zoom away.

The boy, who's actually Cameron, opens his eyes from that dream, more like a nightmare, his vision is still a bit blurry, so he blinks it again and again. He didn't know that his eyes are tearing.

*Blink*

*Blink*

*Blink*

And finally, he's vision regain as he's starting to see clear, his ocean blue eyes met those familiar grey eyes that's just above his head.

'Sam?'

"Oh, you're finally awake... sorry that I woke you up, because you seem to be having a nightmare" Sam has this worried expression as stands up from crouching.

'Darn, that's right... I fell asleep...'

Cameron has this disappointed expression, because he kept on telling himself not to fall asleep since there is another person in his room, but his body betrayed him by making him fall asleep, and he also kind of blames Sam's singing for that.

"Oh, right" Sam then wipes his face with a white handkerchief, and this made Cameron to be fully mentally awake.

He then sits up "Ah what the hell!" he looks at Sam with and irritated expression but that irritated.

"Sorry, you probably didn't notice that you had tears in your eyes, and they keep falling while I was waking you up... are you okay?" he pulls back the handkerchief only to check up on Cameron who's now wiping his face with his own hands.

"I'm fine" he then looks at the window and then the time.

'9:29 PM!!?'

"Shouldn't you be home by now!?" Cameron panicked a bit.

'It also means that this is how long I have been sleeping! And I made him do all my work!'

Sam sees the panic expression on Cameron, he sighs, which caught Cameron's attention "Cameron, it's fine, I already informed my mom that I might be back a little late before I left the house, and I did tell you to rest so it's fine that you're taking a rest since your fever is coming back" Sam gave him a reassuring smile with his head tilted.

"Whatever, just if you're going to school tomorrow, don't you dare tell anyone about this, got that?" Cameron gave him a threatening glare, not wanting for others to know much about him.

And Sam just nervously smiled as he nodded "Yep, I won't"
