"I am sure going to miss you Cameron" Nancy smiled, sitting on the neat bed.

"I'm going to miss you too" Cameron smiled in return, but he was eager to leave and be immersed in normal life once again.

"I am jealous," She giggled, "You get to spend time with your boyfriend"

"You should be," He laughed.

"You sure are a lot better Cameron" Nancy grinned proudly.

"I feel it" He smiled.

"You have made progress," Nancy smiled, "Now I only ever want to see you again for a friendly visit, you hear?"

"I hear you" Cameron chuckled, as she stood to give him a hug. He accepted it and placed a platonic kiss on his cheek.

"I'm going to miss talking to the only sane person here," Nancy chuckled, "And I say sane lightly"

"Aw," Cameron chuckled, "You're too nice to me"

"Is he picking you up?" Nancy questioned, handing him some freshly pressed clothes. Cameron shook his head but a smile was tweaking at his lips. Suspicion arose in Nancy's chest, as Cameron closed the bag.

"I'm going to surprise him" Cameron smirked.

Understanding flashed across his face, grinning largely as she recognized his plan.

"Now," Nancy paused, "You damn sure you're ready for this. I don't want you getting hurt"

"I'll be careful mom" Cameron mocked her, as she smacked his arm affectionately.

"You better" She grinned. She hugged him once more, holding him tightly.

Mrs. McGinty stood at the door observing the scene sweetly. She rapped her knuckles on the doorframe, as Cameron looked over Nancy's shoulder with a grin.

"Hello there Mrs. McGinty" Nancy grinned, pulling away from him. He stifled a grin on his own, picking up his bag.

"Someone's in a hurry" Mrs. McGinty smiled brightly, picking up Cameron's bags. Cameron tried to take it back from her, but she shook her head and pushed his hand away.

"Glad to see you Mrs. McGinty" Cameron smiled, as she grabbed him in a tight hug. He patted her on the back comfortingly, feeling oddly at home.

"Are you going to help him surprise your boy?" Nancy grinned, walking out of the room with the two.

Cameron paused and looked back at the room, slightly sad to leave it. He would miss the nights he talked with Nancy or Damian came to visit him or any of his other friends but leaving the room signified he was better. There was nothing more in the world that Cameron wanted, to be better for himself and Damian. He thought of the promise he had made, before committing the unthinkable crime. He would never make Damian suffer, or allow Damian to be exposed to the darkness.

He was getting better, for him.


Damian walked down the hall slowly, Lindsay and Samuel talking animatedly by his side. He blocked them out, something he was use to by now. He hung his head low, earphone's basically glued to his ears; the music blasting in his ear. He felt rough hands push him up against a locker, he groaned as he felt the metal snap his back.

His earphones fell out of his ears and he glared up at the person angrily. Before he could struggle to his feet, Browne was lying opposite him. The clang from the locker ringing painfully in his ears, Samuel smiled and helped Damian to his feet.

"No matter how many times that happens," Damian sighed, "I can't get use to it"

Samuel clapped him gently on the back, "It's alright mate"

"I hope things are better for when Cameron get's back," Lindsay muttered nervously, "He will be coming here won't he?" Lindsay asked nervously.

Damian nodded, keeping his eyes trained ahead of him. If he looked back he would see Browne's murderous expression and there was no way he needed to see that. Lindsay did though and regretted it, turning away from him a second after. They walked silently to Damian's locker, the student's passing aimlessly. Damian stared at the floor, not even needing to watch where he was going. It was only when's Lindsay's tone caught his attention, that his eyes snapped forward.

"What in the world is going on?" Lindsay asked mildly, her tone surprised and there was a light laughter leaking out.

Damian's eyes widened at the crowd around his locker and the excited voices, making his eyebrows furrow in confusion. He speed up his movement, wanting answers. There was a sickening feeling in his stomach, his mind flashing to Browne and all the horrid things the bully could do to make Damian's life a misery. The crowd parted, under his gentle touch.

He saw Marissa with her arms wrapped around a familiar skinny frame, tears pouring down her face. Lindsay reached his shoulder, a grin breaking out across her face. Samuel rushed forward as Marissa let go, hugging Cameron tightly. He heard Cameron laugh lightly, as Samuel picked him off his feet. When Samuel finally let go and dropped the stunned boy on his feet, Damain gapped at him.

Millions of questions flew to his mouth, he could feel the confusion mix with excitement and spread through his system. Cameron walked forward and touched Damian's arm, the simple touch making Damian drop his books suddenly. Damian was about to speak but Cameron shook his head, a smile tugging the corner of his mouth up.

It was all too much for Damian, as he hesitantly placed a hand on the side of Cameron's face. Cameron lent into the touch, anything to convince Damian that he was really there. Damian shook his head, completely confused but happy nonetheless. Cameron pressed his lips softly to Damian's, trying to keep the kiss quick and innocent.

Damian's hands wrapped around Cameron's waist, he just couldn't let the boy go. Never again.


Too much cuteness? Don't get use to it :P AAAAAAAAANNND, please ask questions
