Apart (Sequel to Stitches)

New Dawn

My eyes settled on the piece of paper in my hands. A letter, or more like a death wish. The comedy coming from the letter was coming from the poison filled demon on the earth. Cameron. He wasn't dead of course, it wasn't that easy. Yet it wasn't easy in the first place..with Nate dead. My sigh must of interrupted Sam from loading up a gun.

"Sorry, just this note," I ripped it up while he gave me a sad smile. I shook my head and hugged him. He was always there for me. Always looking out for us.

"Have you contacted family? Hayes? Jack? Anyone?" His lips twitched and his eyes darkened when he said Jack's name. He still hasn't gotten over what Jack did that one night. I smoothed my thumb over his cheek.

"I have called my cousin. Trin? Ya, she said she would be on her way tonight. I haven't called Jack, yet I have called Hayes. He should be here tomorrow."

He sighed, maybe a sign of relief yet I wasn't so sure. "Okay. We need as many people as we can get." I nodded and then got up from my seat and looked out the window. Cloudy as usual. We went back to the mansion after everyone deserted it. Everything was thrown on the ground and our eyes instantly watered at the sight...

"What...what happened?" My frantic eyes were wandering, trying to put pieces together.

"Everyone was in a hurry. I don't know, what the hell happened," Sam's strong arms engulfed me. Tears slid down both of our cheeks. Staining our clothes.

Shadows laws were clicking into the room when he layed down. Sam had walked over to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. I always wondered if hearts slowed down when someone was depressed or sad. I know if you are upset your heart speaks up. But when you not speak a word, keep everything stuck in your head, and depress yourself, does everything slow down? Time? Your heart? I don't know, maybe one day I will find out. Maybe soon.

"Andrea, I know this is hard but we are gonna make it. You'll be happy soon, I promise that," Sam kissed the top of my head then lifted me up bridal style. I smiled and kissed his chest. He carried us to our room and lay me down on the now clean bed. My hands helped me crawl up the bed and under the covers.

Sam was beside me within seconds, holding me close. He kissed my collarbone, my stomach, my cheek, my forehead, my lips... All of them were loving, soft, gentle. Not the animal he was when he was having too much fun. I laughed at myself and instantly shut my mouth once Sam gave me a quizzical look.

"What is it? What's making you finally laugh?"

"Would it be bad if it was something sexual?" I smiled and shook my head and looked at my fidgeting hands.

"Oh my," he chuckled then pulled me into him. I snuggled up against him and fell asleep as soon as my eyes closed.

Maybe the world will lighten up one day, and everyone will be happy. Everyone will understand you. Everyone trusts you.. Cause maybe that's what Cameron needs. Someone to trust and someone who understands him.
