"No, please don 't do it!" Calum screams, snapping his eyes open. His whole body is drenched in sweat as he breath heavily.

Luke runs to his best friend, crouching down next to him while Annie grabs a bottle and gives it to Calum.

"It's okay, it was just a dream" Luke reassures him, as he wraps his arm around Calum's shoulders and pulls him into his chest. Tears start welling up in Luke's eyes, but he holds them back.

"I lost you" Calum sobs, pressing his face into Luke's chest "They shot you Luke....and I couldn't help you" wrapping his arms around his best friend, Calum cries, not capable of hiding his tears anymore. The nightmares are getting worse. This time someone actually died and it was Luke. The bullet went straight to the blonde boy's skull as Damon pulled the trigger. Calum couldn't forget his smug and devilish smile as he killed Calum's best friend. That was the worst dream he had ever seen in his entire life.

"I'm okay Calum" Luke closed his eyes tightly, trying to control his emotions as he held Calum in his arms. If only Liz could see him right now. She would probably freak out and run to the kitchen to make her homemade hot chocolate. After that she would kiss both of the boys foreheads and say that everything is going to be okay as long as they have each other.

Annie smiled at the view of Calum and Luke cuddling like there was no tomorrow. Luke was holding his best fried so protectively that his arms were turning white, but it didn't seem to bother neither Calum nor Luke.

"Come here" Luke raised one of his arms, inviting Annie to lay down beside him. And without any other thoughts he crawled to them on the couch and positioned herself comfortably next to Luke.

His body heat, warmed her up as she laid her head down on Luke's shoulder. Three teenagers found comfort in each other and no time they went into a deep sleep.

"We don't have much time left, Brooke." Chris says, his voice deep and full of worry. "We still have time to run away, just you and me"

Annie's eyes were closed as two people talking woke her up. The voices were quiet but she could still clear out some words. Opening her eyes she realized that her face was pressed into Luke's warm neck and her cheeks were somehow burning up.

"We can't leave Damon, Chris" Brooke argued "And you know that he needs that money"

What are they talking about?

Shaking Luke slightly she unwrapped his arm from around her waist and slowly went to the door to listen to Brook and Chris' conversation.

Luke quickly caught up with Annie's plans and bent down at the door next to her as they both listened to the conversation.

"I don't care about Damon. I love you Brook and I will do anything to save your life." His voice was sincere. "Let me take care of you, just let me be a good boyfriend and save you. Please" Annie has never imagined that someone like Christ could have been able to love or care for someone.

There was a pause for a while. It seemed like Brook was thinking hard. But then sounds of kissing filled the room and Annie and Luke couldn't help but blush even though there was no time for showing off their emotions.

Holding each others hands they sat there and listened to two people planning their future.
