"Hey so tomorrow I don't have anything could I come watch rehearsals?" Cameron asked from the bed. I pulled my toothbrush out of my mouth and poked my head out the door of our bathroom. "Really you wanna come?" I asked. "Yes of course. " he confirmed. "Yea I'd love for you to come!" I added before brushing my teeth again. I finished my little night routine by moisturizing my face and climbing into bed beside Cameron. "Hey mads?" Cameron asked sneaking a hand around my waist. "Yea?" "I love you. " he said sweetly. "Aw cam. " I began as I flipped over to face him. "I love you too. " I laid my head on his chest and traced shapes on his stomach. "Goodnight beautiful. " Cameron whispered kissing my forehead. "Goodnight handsome. " I whispered back before drifting off to sleep.
"Cameron!" I yelled as he accidentally ran a red light and the car opposite of us smashed into us. One minute I watched as it rammed into Cameron's side, the second was pitch black.
I fluttered my eyes open and took in my surroundings... chlorine stench, beeping of machines, and tubes attached to various places on my body.
"Hello?" I barely managed to get out, as my throat was sore. Suddenly a nurse rushed in to greet me. "I'm so glad you're awake!" "How are you feeling?" She asks, walking over to check my tubes. "I'm okay, uh do you know where my boyfriend is? " I ask weakly. "Cameron Dallas?" She confirms. I nod my head hoping for the best. "He is in the room a bit down the hall. " she explains. I attempt to sit up but am stopped by the the tubes chaining me to the gurney. "You can't see him at this moment I'm sorry. " she apologized. "Is-is he okay?" I asked. She couldn't even answer but the look on her face was enough to send my heart rate up. "Honey you need to calm down just breathe. " she said putting her hand on my leg. "No I need to see him!" I screamed ripping the tubes from my body and throwing the sheets off of me. "Miss please!" She shouted as I ran out of my room and headed to Cameron's. I peeked inside every room from the window on the door until I made it to his room. I felt my heart break, seeing him lying there unconscious. I burst through the door and ran to his bed. "Cameron!"I screamed hoping he would wake up. I yelled his name over and over but no response. My knees gave out and I fell onto the bed, wrapping my arms around him. "Please Cameron. " I begged crying into his shoulder. I felt his chest rise once more before- *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
"Cameron!" I screamed sitting up from the bed. He instantly turned over and opened his eyes. "Baby what's wrong?" He asked concerned. I grabbed his face. "Oh my god Cameron you were dead! You were-" I cried before falling into his arms as he held my shaking body. "It's okay I'm okay I'm right here baby. " he soothed rubbing my back. It took me a minute to calm down, and when my sobs lessened Cameron lifted my head from his chest and cupped my head in his hands. "Did you have a bad dream?" He asked quietly. I nodded as he wiped the tear off my cheek. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked. "Not right now it'll just scare me more. " I replied. "Okay, come here sweetie. " he said laying back down and pulling me into his arms. "You're safe now okay? Nothing's gonna hurt either of us, I'm here. I'll protect you. " he reassured kissing my forehead.

I slowly opened my eyes to the sun shining through the window, piercing my skin. I felt beside me to make sure last night wasn't just a dream. But as I ran my hand across the sheets, I realized Cameron wasn't there. I could have sworn I woke up in the middle of the night and Cameron comforted me. but maybe the dream about him dying was real. My breathing became heavier as I threw the sheets off of me and ran downstairs.
I came into the kitchen to a shirtless cameron cooking breakfast. "Oh my god cam. You scared me. " I cried wrapping my arms around him. "Aw honey I'm sorry." He apologized wrapping his arms around me. "It's okay I just thought that my dream last night was real. " I explained, my head buried in his chest. He put his hand up to my head and brushed through my hair. "Maybe some pancakes will help?" He asked. "Yes please. "
