Moose found himself waking up sickeningly early groaning at his phone and wonder for a second why exactly his alarmed was set at 5:30. With no recollection of the motive behind this horrible event he turned and went back to sleep pulling his sheet successfully hiding his face in it and then it suddenly hit him. Moose had put the alarmed because he was going to pick up Cam and have breakfast with her before her morning classes to celebrate their first month of finally been a couple, with the memory hitting him like lighting he jumped out of his bed and promptly fall face first on the floor.

Shawn groaned from his bed and turned to see his friend on the floor and quickly went to his side asking him if he was ok, Moose wasn't ok he had actually hit himself pretty bad but still managed to stand with the help of Shawn and sit on his bed. He started tasting blood in his mouth, and Shawn told him that he had cut his lip and that now it was bleeding so he was going to look for something to stop the bleeding and ice it.

A couple of minutes later Shawn came back and put something on his lip that sting and told him to keep it there a couple of minutes so it would stop the bleeding and then put the cold compress on. Moose obediently did as he was told and start the search for his phone which he had tossed to the side once he heard the alarm, Shawn told him to stop moving and finally found Moose's phone and gave it to him. With a quick look at the time and a sighed he wrote a message to Cam telling her what had happened and that he was not going to be able to make it.

Moose let himself fell back on his mattress this last month had been full of weird situations, the first couple of weeks, for example, he had been sleep deprived. His schedules usually didn't leave much time to see Cam, which was a major problem for the first week, so he decided to take things into his own hands. At the beginning of their second week, Mosse went to see her extremely early in the morning and then at the end of their day he would visit her to wish her good night. He continued that routine for two more weeks, and he was happy with the amount of time they see each other, Moose even went as far as to go look for her at the coffee shop which was perfect because he needed the coffee to stay awake. Between waking up early and staying late to study he was sleeping less than 4 hours a day, Cam tried talking to him about this, but he would ignore her concerned and continue his schedule.

Finally, the next Monday he managed to get on the train to go visit Cam finding a seat he decided to close his eyes just for a couple of minutes. When he woke up again, he was being pushed by a guy who he seemed to have fallen on when sleeping. He quickly apologized to him while cleaning the drool on his face and noticing the disgusted look on the guys face when looking at his shoulder when some of Moose´s drool had ended up. Shaking his head a little trying to wake up he notice that the train was pack with people which usually didn't happen this early in the morning his first instinct was to stand up, but he noticed that even though his brain was waking up the rest of his body was reluctant to follow instructions.

He turned and realize that he was nowhere near Cam´s place, he actually was way passed it. Moose took his phone out looking at the time while the train came to a stop. Finally, his legs responded, and he made his way out the train. Checking his phone while walking to the check the train schedules he opened his text to see that Cam had written to him an hour a half ago, the time he had spent on the train, wishing him a good day and thanking him for listening to her about his need for rest. A chuckle escaped his mouth, if she only knew that his body had giving up to him, she would only use that opportunity to scold him about how he needed to rest more.

With a deep breath, he started to move his neck trying to loosen it up a bit while checking that the train that would get him to his uni was five minutes out so he started to text Cam wishing her a good day and telling her that he would go see her that night. He got on the train a couple of minutes later and went on with his day, at lunch Luke went to find him, and they spent some much-needed quality time.

"You know is weird not to see at the vault anymore." Luke said while whipping his mouth with a napkin failing to clean the spot of ketchup in the corner of his lips. Moose point at the spot of ketchup and motion his friend to clean it while chewing on his burger.

After he finally swallowed his burger and tired of watching Luke missed the spot with his tongue he grabbed a napkin and went to clean it while telling Luke how dumb he was to not be able to clean it. Just then a couple of girls of one of his class walk by their table and momentarily stop watching them just to walk away a second later saying that it was a shame the good ones always were gay. Both friends burst laughing aside from Natalie this was the first time they hear a comment about them appearing to be a couple, and usually, she only made them when they were annoying her too much.

When the laughter died down, and the tears from laughter were clean out of their eyes, they continue to talk about the absence of Moose from the vault. "I still love going there and dancing, but I just don't have the time now. This internship is eating my soul, but I do love what I'm learning so I'm fine making some sacrifice to do so."

Luke smile, long gone were the times where his friend had trouble choosing his future. For a while back then he honestly thought Moose was going to move to the vault like the rest of the pirates and joined them as a group of misfits that spent their live dancing. However once he started going to uni and found how gifted he was with electrical engineering he notice a change in him, he seemed more focus in his studies, not like the Moose from High school that only went to class because he had to. The boy in front of him already knew what he wanted to be and was ready for the sacrifices that it would entail becoming thehis best in the field he had decided was his.

That actually was one thing that had worried him in the past also, because before the Kirsten situation Luke had wonder if maybe Moose was using his studies to occupied his mind so the thought of Sophie didn't invade him like it did before. When Moose and Sophie break up, he honestly worried about the well-being of his friend, his heart ache for the boy that he love like a brother when the girl he had dreamed his future with told him they needed to be apart. Sophie was a good girl, and he understood that she really care for Moose and that made it a bittersweet moment, his friend had actually found love, the best kind actually because the person he loved care so much for his future, that decided to give him a chance to grow.

The way Cam had come into their life was unexpected, and Luke would bet that some part of Moose knew the moment he saw her that there would be something between them in the future. Everytime Luke talked to Cam he always found such an open and caring person that remind him of his friend so much that if Moose hadn't made a move to get to know Cam he would have killed him. Still the way they got together so quickly after Moose was so focus on Kirsten made him a little uneasy. Luke finally tune in what Moose was telling him and laughed at the way his friend was trying to describe the way he was dealing with some of his courses the way a teenager girl would talk about her crush.

He cleared his throat getting the attention of Moose taking this opportunity to ask about Cam, Luke had seen the girl the day before and listen to her concerned about his friend exhausting himself trying to see her every day. "Is not that I don't want to see him every day because I do. I'm just worried that he thinks is necessary not to sleep to do so. I care for him, and he just won't listen to me, so could you talked to him please?" The plea from the little brunette rang in his ear the moment he saw the bags under Moose's eyes. So now that they had eaten and so that otherwise his friend was in good spirit Luke plan on trying to get to the bottom of the matter.

Moose smile and Luke was happy at the way that smile reach his eyes something that stopped happening since Sophie's departure. He started telling Luke about how he love learning more things about Cam and how incredible she was with the kids, Moose had on more than one occasion walked her to her internship and saw how excited the kids got when they saw her. In the middle of his story, Moose couldn't stop a yawn and Luke saw his opening. "So it seems you are seeing her a lot even with your tight schedule."

The other boy raised an eyebrow at him and told him that he was adjusting some morning and night routines so that he could give the girl more time in his day to day, he also made a point to tell Luke that she wasn't the reason he wasn't going to the vault. Again the way Moose talked about Cam made the other boy remember his past relationship, he would always put himself as a shield for his girlfriends, not that any needed one but he was very protective. "Dude, before you go into a rant against some imaginary enemy just let me say something. You look tired, and she is worried about you, for a relationship to work you don't need to see each other every day or at least not at first. If you continue to do whatever you are doing she is going to star feeling guilty, and she is going to push you away."

That seemed to do the trick Luke could see realization entering Moose's stubborn brain, and the boy appeared to ponder if what Luke said would actually hold some truth or his friend was just an alarmist. The boy asked his friend if Cam had actually said something to that effect and Luke was more than happy to tell him how worried the brunette was with his lack of sleep and the way he seemed to think that if they don't see each other every single day they are having problems in their relationship. " I don't understand you see Natalie every day, and I know for a fact that if you don't see one another, you will wait for each other or wake up early to talk.

"Of course, we do. We live together I don't exactly lose sleep to go see her and some days we don't see each other, but we text or talk. Moose, I understand that you want to see her but honestly she is feeling sad because Cam thinks that she should make the same effort but she can't. You know because she is normal." Moose chuckled at that last comment still he did remember Cam telling him that he needed to rest more, and she actually apologized for never going to look for him in the mornings, at that moment he didn't understand why she was saying that but things were getting clear now.

"So basically while I thought I was proving that I would go above and beyond for Cam I was actually making her feel guilty about her schedule?" Luke nod twice and smile at his friend. Moose just shook his head letting it fall back trying to think when exactly did he went crazy, he started to tell Luke how he had fallen asleep on the train that morning and the boy laughed.

That night he went to see Cam and been more open to her reactions he saw how worried she seemed and wait no time to tell her that he had thought about what she said, and he was going to tone it down. The smile that appeared on her face was so bright that he instantly mirror it a second later he found himself being the receiver of a bear hug courtesy of his beautiful girlfriend. "I'm so happy that you decided to do that. I was always worried that you would fall asleep on the train or at class or that something could happen."

He hugged her harder and kissed the top of her hair until she stopped rambling about the horrors that could happen to the sleepy version of himself that lived in her dreams. So the last week of their first month together was the best one they still saw each other just not every day but they would text each other daily and Moose felt better. Forward to this morning when he had actually planned ahead the night before laying out his clothes and buying her a single red rose he even went as far as program texts so she would receive a couple during her morning routine and then at the exact time they started officially dating.

Shawn spoke from his bed telling Moose to take advantage of this incident and sleep a little more, he reluctantly pushed himself more into the bed trying without success to put all his body on the bed without actually standing up. "God you are lazy, just stand and lay on your bed."

Moose sighed and stood up just as someone knock on his door, he walked to open it and found Tyler there the boy smiled at him and told him that he had great news. Moose move to the side while the other boy walked in before he could close the door though he saw a book laying on the floor outside his door and went to pick it when he suddenly stopped. It was Sophie's favorite book "The fault in our stars."

Without thinking what he was doing he went out to the hall and start looking all around to see if maybe she was there, he even went as far as go outside his building, but the cold made him retreat as fast as he went out. He ran upstairs to picked the book but by now Shawn and Tyler had already been looking at it with serious expressions, he didn't need to ask them if there was something written on the first page because it was evident that it was. Moose held his hand asking for the book and Shawn visibly tense before giving it to him, on the first page was the signature of the author and a little message that he had written for Sophie years ago.

She had been there, except for this past month he had always written to her without any answer on her part so she was aware of where she could find him at any given time. Moose wanted to scream why did she had to come back when he was finally fine with someone else, he didn't scream at the end but once inside his room he did convey his feelings to his friends. Tyler was the one trying to give an answer to his question "Maybe she just had someone dropped the book as a final goodbye, Moose."

He nodded but part of him wish that she would come back so they could talk while the other part of him was yelling Cam's name. His life was a mess once again.
