FAITH

"Oh my god, Mason?! It's way past midnight! What are you doing-- " I hiss at him, keeping my voice down.

Mason interrupts me by putting his hands around my waist and pulling me outside, "Come on! We have to go!"

"Hold up! What is going on?!" I push him off me and go back inside.

"It's--it's Gabriel. He is having terrible nightmares..." he said.

I gave him a "so?" look.

"He wants you."

"Me?" 

Rolling his eyes, he holds my hands and pushes me out.

"Mason! Can I dress, first?" I groan, pointing at my robe.

Mason checks me out from head to toe. 

I give him a "are you serious?" look as he, smirks and nods. 

I changed into a simple outfit consisting of a grey sweater and leggings.

Locking the door of our apartment, I walked outside and went to Mason's car.

"I can't believe you didn't call me." I said. 

"I was kind of panicked and I wasn't sure you'd take me seriously."

I rolled my eyes and mentally face-palmed myself.

As soon as we entered the house, I immediately heard crying noises.

"Oh my God! Gabe! It's fine, you're alright." I hugged him.

"I miss her. I miss my mom, Faith." he cries.

"Awh. Gabe. She's watching you from up there." I point at the stars, "Besides, she wouldn't want you crying, would she? Let's not get her upset. Come on, baby. Let's sleep."

"Faith?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"You remind me of her."

"Of who?" I asked, confused for a second.

"My mom. She spoke so softly, just like you are right now." 

I hugged him, tightly.

This kid was only 7 and going through more than me.

"Come on, kid. It's getting late. Let's get you to bed." 

Gabe led me to his room. 

"Damn. This is your room?" I asked.

"No, but we're sleeping here, today." he replied.

We laid in bed. I sang to him and, soon, he drifted off to sleep.

I planned to go back home once I was sure he was completely asleep. 

That plan failed.

I was off to sleep within minutes.
