Vanished

Chapter 4

Cameron's POV

I woke up in a panic. I had the worst nightmare. I wiped the tears that stained my face. I rolled over to see Amara still sound asleep. A sigh of relief swept over me. I cuddled up to her so her back was against my chest.

She was freezing cold. I panicked once more. She was still breathing but awfully cold. It is about 4 o'clock in the morning because the sun hasn't rose yet. I walked to her closet and opened it up. She had a smaller walk in closet. I walked to the back knowing that's where she keeps her sweatshirts. I pick the one that I gave to her when we went to Disney a couple months ago.

I walked to the bed and grabbed the socks on the nightstand. Her feet were ice cold. I grabbed her feet and slid on one sock at a time. I put her feet back under the duvet and went up to her body. I lifted her back and I slid in behind her so she was propped up.

I put one arm in at a time and slid the sweatshirt on. She sighed in relief as the sweatshirt and socks gave her more warmth. I got back into my side of the bed and fell back asleep knowing that Amara is okay and warm.

Amara's POV

I woke up fully clothed in a sweatshirt and socks. I figured Cam put them on because I would have known if I got up.

I roll over to find Cam still sound asleep. Man, that boy can sleep forever. I just cuddled up to his chest taking in his warmth. I really need to stay strong for him. Having leukemia really does take a toll emotionally and physically.

I can't gain weight. I'm pale. I can't go to school because I'm to weak. This illness literally stops me from doing anything. My days mostly include Netflix, Twitter and Tumblr.

"Good morning beautiful." Cam said while kissing my forehead.

"Good morning handsome."

"I have to go home to get clothes, I will be back soon." He said getting out of bed.

"Okay!" I kissed him good bye and he walked out the door.

I decided to go get in the shower. I undress and step into the shower. I did my business and got out. I heard my door open and close and figured it was Cam.

My assumptions were correct. There he was. The man of my dreams. I was still in my towel and I walked over and sat on my bed. Little things like this just wear me out. I found the energy to put on my clothes. I put on cropped black yoga pants and one of Cameron's hoodies.

I walked out of the bathroom to find Cam laying on my bed, I walked over to him and he pulled me into his chest. My stomach had to ruin the moment though. It growled. I haven't ate at all today and it's already 2:30.

"Sorry, I guess I haven't ate today." I said shyly.

"Amara. It's fine! How about we walk down to the diner down the street. Consider it a date." Cam said taking my hand.

"It's a date." I said kissing his cheek. Today was a good day because I wasn't dizzy at all. I was just a tad tired.

We walked down the stairs well, Cam did. He thought of a bright idea to carry me down the stairs. He brought me into the kitchen where I left a note for my mom telling her where we were going.

Cams POV

I could tell Amara was tired, but she insisted on walking. Good thing the diner was only 3 blocks away.

We showed up to the diner in now time. Amara ordered her food as soon as we sat down because she always got the same thing. Chicken Tenders with ranch and a glass of milk. I got the same thing because I wanted to try it out.

We finished our late lunch and began our walk home. About a half a block in Amara was exhausted. So I picked her up bridal style she laid her head on my chest and was out within seconds.

"Amara. Wakey wakey. We are home." I whispered. Her eyes opened slowly and looked up into mine. The same eyes I fell in love with the first day we met.

"Thanks for the ride." She said as I put her down on the couch.

After a sweet kiss, we decided to watch a movie. Amara was laying in between my legs with her head on my chest. I could feel her body move as she giggled because we were watching Bridesmaids.

I saw my phone light up and it dinged saying that I had a text. It was my best friend Nash!

NASHY- Hey Dude! I'm in Cali for a couple days! Maybe we could hang out?! I miss my Cammy Wammy! Plus Magcon is coming up soon! Hmu when you are free.

CAMMY- Yeah dude I would love to hang out! Sorry I've been tied up because of Amara. She went downhill fast but is getting better. I'm free all week!

NASHY- Sad to hear about Amara but maybe I could surprise her? she texted me the other day telling me how much she missed me!

CAMMY- That would be awesome! Come to her house now! She's asleep but I bet she would want to wake up to see you!

NASHY- On my way!

I'm so happy I can see my best friend again. I haven't seen Nash in 2 months. It's long over due!

About 5 minutes later the door bell rings and it wakes Amara up. She walks groggily over to the door and her face brightens when she sees who it is.

"NASH! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOURE HERE!" She screamed. I swear she hugged him tighter than the Jonas Brothers pants!

We spent all night talking and catching up. Amara's mom insisted that Nash stayed here instead of a hotel because she didn't want him spending all the money.

He crashed on the guest bed and Amara and I crashed on her bed. She changed into a tank top and running shorts and fuzzy socks and I stripped everything besides my boxers. Amara cuddled up to my chest and fell asleep as fast as you could say "ow now brown cow" but I took the time to realize how much she really means to me.

I needed to ask her to go to Magcon with me so I wouldn't be lonely and she could get out of the house. I fell asleep thinking about how I was going to ask her.
