"Hey Cam wake up!"I whispered excitedly as I wildly rubbed my swollen eyes, completely ignoring the pounding sensation in my head. I quickly sat up and focused on the white ice cold flakes that were quickly falling on us. The cold flakes landed on my face and melted. Snow was my favourite thing and always had been, when snow fell I was like a little kid waking up on Christmas day. Every year I would run out and make a snowman and have snowball fights, I'd probably still be making snowmen when I was seventy. I prodded Cam and he grunted and rolled over before slowly opening his eyes. I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out before catching the flecks of ice on my tongue. When Cam had finally woken up he copied me and we sat laughing as the snow landed on our faces.

Cam loved snow almost as much as me, we were pretty alike for best friends. He got up unsteadily and grabbed a fistful of snow in his hand. He turned towards me and put his other hand on his hip before giving me the widest smirk he could. I squealed as I tried to get up but Cam was a lot faster than me. Before I knew it I had a face full of snow, my face was burning from the cold but still I carried on the snowball fight. I grabbed an extra large fistful of snow and charged towards Cam. He ran as fast as he could but stumbled on a rock and went flying into a mound of snow. "CAM YOU BLOODY IDIOT!" I screamed as I cried from laughter. The look on Cam's face when he got up was hilarious. I nearly fell over from laughing so hard, while I was distracted laughing at my best friend I didn't realise he had been running towards me. In no time he had ran towards me and wrapped me in a giant bare hug. I shivered from the cold as he tried to push me over into the snow. He succeeded but I didn't let him go down that easily I pulled him down with me.

As we lay down in the snow, we watched the snowflakes falling elegantly from the clouds. The memories I had with Cam were always the best, he knew how to have a good time and had taught me how to. If it wasn't for Cam I would be dead right now. I couldn't of lived without him or any of my other best friends. Not after everything I'd been through. If I ever lost my boys I don't know what I'd do...

"Hey urm Jord, can I tell you something?" Cam whispered as he turned to face me, his ears started burning. They always burned when he was embarrassed, oh it takes a lot to make Cameron embarrassed so this was going to be good.

"Do you even need to ask that?" I replied as I rubbed up against his shoulder embracing the warmth.

"Well, I've been wanting to tell you for a while..."

"TELL ME WHAT?!" I asked excitedly,as I shoved myself into his hard muscular shoulder. I got excited so easily.

"I think I love.." he trailed off, my eyes widened and my heart started beating erratically as I was about to finish his sentence inside my head. I couldn't deal with this not now, nope, nope, nope.

"I think we should go back now, I'm absolutely frozen. C'mon Cam," I said as I stood up and grabbed his hand. He  started pulled me towards the lake as he shivered and  tugged at some daises from the snow covered grass, he always did this before he left as a sign of respect. Cam lifted the daisies towards his lips and kissed them delicately before whispering 'I love you mum' and throwing them into the icy water.

We got back into his car shivering from the cold snow that was falling quickly all around us our unspoken conversation was still fresh in my mind, Cam turned the heating on and put the radio on quietly. As he drove back towards my apartment I checked my phone for the time since we had both fallen asleep earlier. It was half past five in the morning and almost pitch black still. Cam was still very hungover but there weren't many people on the road so it was unlikely we could get caught.

As Cam pulled out of the lake car park at lightning pace I felt my stomach churn. Something really didn't feel right but I didn't know what. I closed my eyes as I tried to figure out what was wrong. Maybe it was just all the drinks I'd had mixed with how cold I was but it still didn't feel right. I knew something bad was going to happen. Every single muscle in my body squirmed, my head was spinning and I felt like I was going to be violently sick. I decided to open my eyes and roll down the window for some air, I fluttered my eyelids and my vision came back to me. Before I registered what was going on my scream echoed around the car. 

I did nothing but sit in shock, I couldn't move or speak all I could do was scream. My ears burned from the intense loud noise I was making but nothing could stop me.  I didn't even have time to tell Cam to break before we hit the oncoming car at over 70mph. Our car collided with the other and we were thrown forward, Cam hit the windscreen and the glass shattered leaving a nasty wide cut on his forehead. As blood poured out of the deep diagonal wound in his head I tried to scream out for help. I was in a state of shock, what was happening? I  tried to open my mouth but I physically couldn't, my head had gone straight into the headboard and I was starting to feel even worse than before. My vision was blurred and everything I looked at started to have red tint to it. I needed to stay awake, Cam couldn't die on me, I watched him choking out blood as he lay unsteadily on the bonnet of the car. My nose started becoming wet and the redness started becoming deeper, my vision was fading and I was starting to have an intense pain in the back of my head.  The world quickly turned into a deep satin red hole of darkness and I slowly drifted into unconsciousness.
