Mia
I can't believe it's been already two days since I've been staying at Cameron's. It really sucks. I decided to stay here for a few more days before I join the business again.

Jake will return in two days and I still haven't tell him about whom I'm staying at. Cameron hasn't been home lately which happens to be good for me. No news from Mom and Dad. "Hey wanna watch a movie?" Nash came. "I don't have anything to do so yeah" I followed her to the TV room to see Cameron sitting with a box of popcorn.

After a long discussion they finally agreed to watch La la land. We kept on watching until I end up falling asleep resting my head on his shoulder. It felt so happy to be with Nash and Cameron. Just like the old times. But then all those memories flooded back in my mind.

Dreams
"Do you have to go? Mom please you promise we'll spend Christmas together" I followed her to the kitchen to see Sam playing with his food.

Oh my god. I kept standing looking at my little baby brother. He was smiling which his chubby cheeks and blue eyes. Seeing Sam as a baby make me wanna cry. He was so innocent and happy.

"Mia honey " Mom shouted as I snap out of my thoughts. "Don't worry ok Dad and I will be back in 3 days." She smiled at me.

"Wait i cannot take care of Sam" I tried to make them stay.

I messed up my whole life. And ever since I've been having those dreams I've been trying to talking to my mom. That's the only place we talk like mom and daughter not like enemies. That's the only place I get to see Sam.

"Mia I think you are old enough to do that and you can still seek help from one of the maids." She said calming me as I bend my head down.

She then cup my face while caressing my hair. "I need you to be a big sister...
Your job Mia is to not let go of your brother.. to never let go of Sam's hand ok... can you do that?" She asked as I nodded looming at baby Sam.

Then everything went black as I appeared in Sam's funeral. Oh no. Not this place. I looked around to see mom and dad crying. "Mom?" I walked to her.

"How could you let that happen?" She snapped at me angrily.

"You were supposed to watch out for him Mia"

"Mom I'm sorry ok please I'm sorry" I cried uncontrollably.

"SORRY WON'T BRING HIM BACK" she pushed me as I started crying loudly.

End of Mia's dreams

Cameron
"MOM STOP MOM PLEASE I'M SORRY" I woke up to Mia screaming next to me on the couch. She was crying.  It was late at night and Nash wasn't here.

"Ok Mia love wake up...MIA STOP" I shook her body as she opened her eyes hugging me quickly.

She was shaking out of fear. "It's just a dream love it's ok " I said quietly calming her. "What time is it?" She asked. "10 at night. Come on I'll help you to bed" I helped her get up.

She went to wash her face while I waited for her near her bed. "Are you ok?" I asked once again as she returned and nodded. She climbed on her bed and slide under the sheet.

"Do you need anything?" I asked. "No I'm fine" she replied as I walked outside her room. "Cameron?" I turned quickly. "Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" She whispered as I smiled.

We both faced each other. "You are so beautiful you know that" I said trying hard not to touch her. "Do you miss me Cam?" she asked in a sleepy way.

"It was unbearable..the whole thing every second worst than the last." I said with a cracked voice. Tears fell down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Mia" I said as I gently grabbed her hand. "It wasn't your fault." I replied him.

We kept looking at each other as we fell asleep.

Next morning
Mia
"Wakey wakey mia" Nash face pop up.
"Oh my gosh" I stepped back handing my face. "What the hell is wrong with you boys?" I shouted while getting off the bed.

"Ever since I came here you guys have been scaring the shit out of me" I argued as Nash laughed.

I washed my face remembering what happened last night wih Cameron. We have already slept on the same bed two times. Well at least last night he didn't fuck me. I still need to find out about the first time though. I'm sure he didn't do anything. I walked back to my bed. "Where is Cameron?" I asked. "To the office" He replied.

"Is there something going on between you two?" He gave me a suspicious look. "Not at all" I lied as we went to the kitchen to see a girl sitting.

"Oh hello Nash" she smiled while quickly hugging him. "Fiona" Nash said with a shocked voice. "Oh I see you have guest" she looked at me in a very rude way.

"Yeah Fiona this is Mia my bestfriend. Mia this is Fiona... Cameron's girlfriend" He explained giving me a sad look.

"Oh...hi" I said hiding my pain. Cameron has a girlfriend. My heart broke into pieces.

"How come you're back?" Nash asked as we all sat around the table. "Well I'm on a vacation leave so I thought I'd come and visit Cameron. " She smiled at me.

"I'm a photographer" she said to me.
"Wow that's great" I smiled back. "What about you?" She asked.

"I own an empire" I snapped as polite as I could. She quickly stop smiling and looked away. "Anyway it was nice to see you but I really have to go" I said and walked outside immediately.

What the hell is wrong with me? I'm jealous I get it. But I can't show it like that.
