Love From The Ashes
Chapter 14 –
Part 2
Too many
Calls
Jamie has
laid down for a nap; meanwhile, Cam sits in the living room enjoying a book
when his phone rings. He looks at his
phone's display to see if he wants to answer it. It's his sister calling, and he chooses to
answer the phone.
"Hello, Sis!
What's going on?"
"Nothing; I
thought I would call to see how everyone was doing."
Cameron
doesn't know what to tell Sophie besides the truth, so he does.
"I'm trying
to keep Jamie from worrying too much about not being at work. He fades a little
bit every time the scanner goes off. I'm
sure he's dying to be back to work."
Sophie can
only imagine how her brother's boyfriend is feeling. Jamie sees it as a form of torture.
"Have you
guys been hanging out at the house or getting out and doing things?"
When she is
feeling down sometimes, it helps to get out of the house. It makes sense that maybe they might get out
of the house a bit more now that Jamie is home recovering.
"We've been
staying home a bit more, but we have been getting out to walk the dog or just
to get out and walk."
She can
imagine it would be nice to just spend time with each other while enjoying
their walk. Cameron and Sophie spend a
few minutes talking with each other before ending the call and going about
their day.
***
Jamie wakes
to find that his boyfriend has cuddled up next to him. He loves his babe. Right now, though, he is feeling a bit down
about being at home. He decides to try and
call his best friend. In a heartbeat, he
starts the phone call. Brayden answers
the phone call.
"Hey
Brayden, how are you?"
This call
might be more about venting and just getting over the stress.
"I'm good,
my friend. We've been busy today, and
it's been a bit crazy."
Jamie can
tell it's been crazy from the sounds of the calls that have come over the scanner. He hates days like that.
"How have
you been doing, Jamie?"
Jamie
thought about the question a bit. He
doesn't want Brayden to worry about him, but he doesn't want to lie.
"It's
tiring. I want to be at work. I miss the crew."
He tells
Brayden. His friend knows exactly what
to say to Jamie.
"Hey, we
miss you too, man. We are going to
celebrate when you get back with us."
Jamie
doesn't want to wait that long to see his friends. He wants to see his work family. It feels good to hear from his brother from
another mother. Brayden has never failed
him. Jamie walks back to the bedroom
while his boyfriend sleeps and decides to hang out with his guy.
"Hey
Brayden, Cameron looks pretty cute in the bed right now."
Jamie tells
Brayden, who smirks at his friend. Something is about to end their call.
***
The guys enjoy
catching up when Jamie suddenly hears the alarm echoing through the station. He
then can listen to the announcements coming over the speaker.
"Bye,
Brayden. I need to go. I'll talk to you later."
Brayden says
goodbye. Cameron wakes up to find Jamie
staring at the phone in his hand. Jamie
sits on the bed and then notices that Cameron is awake. He kisses Cameron and Cameron kisses him.
"You feeling
okay, Jamie?"
Jamie loves
the concern that Cameron has for him.
Cameron gets up out of bed and walks into the kitchen. There is shopping that needs to get done,
and maybe it will help to get his mind off whatever is going on with his love.
***
Cameron
manages to get Jamie out of the house and to the grocery store. With their list in hand, the guys are in no
rush to wrap up the shopping. They go down each aisle, getting what they need
and feeling good about it.
"I don't
know why but I am enjoying the shopping tonight."
Jamie tells Cameron.
Cam is glad that his boyfriend is relaxing a bit. Getting away from the house seems to help
take Jamie's mind off whatever is happening in his head. Cameron takes his boyfriend's hands. They walk through the store hand in
hand. It actually feels good to be hand
in hand in like this. A part of Cameron
fights the whole hand-holding thing, but he knows that Jamie needs his
reassurance, or at least it feels like he does.
"We needed
to go shopping, and I thought it might do you some good to get away from the
house."
Cameron
somehow knows what his man needs before his boyfriend even knows it. They wrap up their shopping, pay for their
goods, and then head home.
***
Jamie puts
the groceries away while Cameron takes Princess outside. Cameron makes sure to take her into the
backyard. When Jamie finishes putting
the groceries away, he sits in the dining room.
Cameron and Princess come back into the house. She heads straight for
her owner.
"Hey
Princess, were you a good girl for Cameron?"
Cameron
smiles as he watches the tail wagging.
Jamie was looking at the dog and then up at Cam.
"Was she a good
girl?"
Cameron
reaches down and pets the dog on her back.
She turns around and gives Cam a couple licks. While Princess is occupied with Cameron,
Jamie gets a snack for her.
"She was a
perfect girl."
Jamie
reaches out a hand to the dog. In his hands,
he holds the snack. She delicately
accepts the snack from his hands.
"Good job,
girl!"
She loves
Jamie. Jamie and Cameron adore her
too. It's time for Princess to go to
bed.
"Kennel,
girl!"
Princess
heads for her bed inside her kennel.
Jamie locks up the kennel, and then he looks at his boyfriend. He takes his hand, and they head into the
bedroom.
***
Jamie strips
down and gets under the covers in the bedroom.
Cameron enjoys the view. The guys
get in bed together. They turn on the
television and watch some shows on the television. Jamie enjoys having Cameron in his arms. The guys have been talking about how therapy
is with Cameron. Cameron is dealing with
some of the issues related to his assault.
He has come so far in his life.
Jamie has been fantastic in supporting his boyfriend while Cameron heals
his mind. Cameron remembers the first
time that he showered with Jamie. He
fought back a panic attack because he was worried about being assaulted. Now, he can be around his boyfriend while he
is naked. Cam's boyfriend loves being
around him and cuddling up next to him. Some
might say their relationship is kind of different, but then it's nobody's
business what goes on in the bedroom.
They watch television and just enjoy their time together.
***
The guys are
sitting in bed watching television together when Cameron falls asleep in his
boyfriend's arms out of nowhere. It's a
safe place where Cam feels like no one else can touch him. He loves being with him. Jamie turns off the television and rests his
head on his pillow. Eventually, he falls
asleep next to his boyfriend. This is
Jamie's favorite way to fall asleep; the same can be said about Cameron.
***
Cameron and
Jamie are in a deep sleep. Suddenly,
Cameron finds himself in a dream. He is
in the bedroom, just sitting on the bed.
Jamie has been called to a fire, so he is no longer home. His anxiety over the possibility of Jamie
getting hurt is troubling the man. As he
is about to burst from the feelings welling up inside of him, his phone
rings. It's the chief.
"I'm sorry,
Cameron. Jamie...was fighting the fire
when there was an accident. I'm sorry,
Cameron, we did everything. He didn't
make it."
Now, he is out
of bed and collapses onto the floor.
Cameron is beside himself.
Outside of the dream, Jamie can hear his boyfriend sobbing. He wakes up and then holds his
boyfriend.
"Cameron,
wake up! Wake up."
Cameron
wakes up and sees his boyfriend. It's
like he has seen a ghost.
"You're
alive! You're alive!"
Cameron says
to Jamie. Jamie isn't letting go.
"I am alive. Want to tell me what happened in that mind of
yours?"
Jamie
patiently waits for him to speak.
"You-you went
to a fire. You were fighting a fire, and
an accident happened. Chief...chief called
and said you died."
Jamie sits
there, just holding his baby. He doesn't
want to let go, either. The guys don't say anything. They simply sit there and hold each other and
kiss each other. Soon, the guys fall
asleep again.
***
When morning
finally comes, Jamie wakes up and looks at his sleeping boyfriend's form. He's grateful for his boyfriend. It's hard for him to see
Cameron's anxiety and fears getting the best of him. Their relationship is not what comes to
mind when you think of relationships.
What's important for them is that they love each other. Jamie knows that someday, he and Cameron will
be married, giving him hope. He also
knows that Cameron wants kids. When he sees that Cameron is still sleeping, he
lays down next to him and goes back to sleep.
