A/N: This is a story about Sam being a student at Dalton, not Mckinley!

Disclaimer: I only own Glee on DVD and CD!

Sam and Blaine had been friends since practically forever, they first met in Kindergarten and had been best friends ever since but that all changed when Sam's mom died from the horrors of Cancer and the two hadn't really spoken much but they soon became best friends again within a few months.

The other members of the Warblers had noticed that Sam was a bit 'Off' and most of them knew about his disturbing experience in the past.

That night, Sam, Blaine, Jeff and Nick were all in their room, sound asleep, it lasted for a while until the boys were jolted awake by a soft noise coming from Sam's corner of the room, it couldn't be what they were thinking, surely not... Crying?

Blaine switched on his lamp and made his way over to his best friend's bed, placing a hand on Sam's shoulder, shaking it slightly, only to have his hand harshly pushed away.

"Sam, please wake up" said Blaine as he shook Sam's shoulder harder this time to see Sam's emerald green eyes snap open and Blaine gasped at what he saw.

Sam's eyes were glistening with tears, Blaine's gasp caused the other boys in the room to get out of bed and walk sleepily over to them just as Blaine helped Sam to sit up properly and embraced him into a hug and allowed his best friend to sob quietly on his shoulder.

"Blaine, what's going on?" asked Jeff as he sat down next to Blaine on the edge of the bed and looked at Sam with a concerned look in his eyes.

"I'm not completely sure" said Blaine as he rubbed Sam's back soothingly.

''Shh... It's... It's alright... It was all just a dream... You're safe now from whatever you dreamt of...'' Jeff murmured softly when he caught sight of the tears running down Sam's cheeks.

Sam just ignored Jeff and continued to cry on Blaine's shoulder, this made both boys even more worried about him, if that was even possible at this point!

Nick walked over and stood next to Jeff, worried about their best friend.

''Can you tell us what happened? I mean, because I know that if you tell someone about bad dreams, it usually makes you feel better... I promise we won't laugh or anything...'' said Nick as Sam sniffled softly and pulled out of Blaine's embrace and settled against the wall.

"It's just... I was just having a dream about my mom..." Sam barely got the last word out before he broke down, tears streaming down his cheeks, Jeff quickly got up and sat down beside Sam, throwing his arm around Sam's shoulders.

"Oh Sam..." said Jeff as gently as he could, he couldn't imagine how Sam must've felt, none of them could.

"What happened in your dream, Sam?" asked Blaine as Sam took a few deep breaths before speaking again.

''My dream... Wasn't really bad at first, I guess... It was just memories... B-but then it went to when she died in the hospital, she looked so weak and torn... I-I saw her die, her heart monitor going in a straight, ear ringing t-tone...'' He was beginning to cry again, heavy tears rolling down his cheeks, ''I just couldn't take s-seeing her like t-that again. I just... I-I miss her so much!" Sam started crying again, tears falling freely down his flushed cheeks.

''Hey, hey...'' said Blaine as he reached out and pulled Sam into another tight embrace and whispered into Sam's ear as he wept. "It's going to be okay"

"Everything's gonna be okay, Sam" said Nick as he wiped Sam's tears away gently with his thumb.

Ten minutes later, Sam fell asleep in Blaine's arms and when the boys were sure that he'd be okay, they laid him back down on the bed and headed back to their own beds and went back to sleep almost immediately.

They'd check on Sam in the morning.
