Lancelot's mum was on the bed having a nap but it obviously seems like she isn't having a nice dream. She was moving her head bit by bit till she finally waked up with force breathing heavily. "Lancelot?" She muttered and quickly stepped down from the bed and began to look for her phone. "Oh no! how could I have been so stupid to let him go, Lancelot will never heed to my words!! he won't!!" She muttered as she was seriously looking for her phone. Anyone who could see her will feel pity for her, sometimes people see it the wrong way but the truth is that she's just a single mother trying to care for her only child. Lancelot was a son rejected by his father and she took the responsibilities alone, trying to build this kid to be something in life but Lancelot is not just making things easy for her. And now she's having bad dream about him and anything she dreams about this boy it must surely happen, that's why she's so scared right now. She can't afford to lose Lancelot, he's all she got, minus that she have suffered enough to train him single handedly to his age now, she's still his mother and he is still her only child. So she was already on a call, her call was on Fernandez mum, they are both good friends also but even with that, Lancelot and Fernandez are not too close as friends. After the first call finished ringing, no one picked up, she called again then it was picked immediately. "Hello, Evelyn please do you know exactly where Fernandez has taken Lancelot, I mean do you know where they have gone to for the vacation? I was so foolish that I didn't ask them in the first place" She asked. "Oh please, come on you got to stop all this every time Lancelot seems not to be around! he is an adult! he is not a kid anymore, he can take care of himself" Evelyn responded as Lancelot's mum is already crying with tears in her eyes. "Please am begging you, this is different, I just dreamt about Lancelot, he is in immediate danger and if you don't take me to him, am afraid I might lose him" Lancelot's mum responded as tears started dropping from her eyes. "Oh come on, you won't lose him! they are probably having a nice time there, you can't go there and embarrass him, that's why he is always mad at you" Evelyn responded. "What if he is not? what if they are not having a nice time? what if they are all in immediate danger? what about all of that" Lancelot's mum replied. "Why not? why won't they be having fun? look whatever dream you have, it's just a dream..." Evelyn was still saying and Lancelot's mum interrupted. "It's not!! am telling you please!! take me to him, you have to take me to him!" She interrupted. "Hmmm... but even if am going to take you there, it's already 2:00pm, we can never get there today, calm down okay? tomorrow I will take you there! nothing will happen to Lancelot, it's just a dream plus you are badly missing him" "Just be calm, okay? I feel the same way about Fernandez too" Evelyn responded while Lancelot's mum gazes at the wall clock and breathes down gently then sat on the bed. "Alright... I can manage to wait" She responded. • • • The Vacation. "Now it's time to begin! we haven't done anything! we need to decorate the house! do what you can! and leave the rest for..." Sam announced in half looking around till he sighted Micah. "For Micah!" He shouted immediately he sighted Micah sitting silently, though he thought that Micah would react to that statement. But Ever since Micah saw what he saw, he has been so calm, sitting in one place but Lancelot was wearing his headphone working on his DJ mix play on his phone, vibing to it alone. More Like Clement too who was sitting besides him watching what he's doing even though Lancelot have refused to let him listen to the music with him. "Micah, what's up? are you okay?" Sam asked as he approached Micah who still kept silent at him. Then Sam looks at the rest, everyone has spread all over the room decorating the room the way it would look so beautiful. "Alright everyone!" He said as he turned to walk away to another room but almost ran into Fernandez who was just stepping out of the passage. "Hey bro! what'sup..?" Sam asked but Fernandez kept silent at him walking away, it was only Micah who noticed his mood too and knew that Fernandez must have witnessed what he witnessed. Fernandez already knew that this house is not safe and already leaving with sadness and it's all about Gabrielle. So when got to the final door, it was just one step out he will be out of the house but held back. "Nah! I can't leave like that without making Lancelot pay! he just made me lose someone I loved so much" Fernandez muttered as he turned back. "So I can go in and plan with others to leave here and leave Lancelot behind, nope! they will obviously disagree, okay... what about I just go in and stab him?" Fernandez thought and see that it's no deal. "No... Lancelot is too tough to go face to face with him, well I guess the best way is just to live and let them all perish in here" Fernandez said as he tries to walk away again but held back oce again. "No... what if he finally make it out and then hold me responsible for anything that will happen to anyone of them? am afraid he will surely make it out alive, he's too brave to die here" Fernandez said then looks away and his eyes hit directly inside a room which was opened down. There was a fine wine on the refrigerator then he smiled. "Now, I know what I must do! so let the chaos begin the chaotic hour" Fernandez muttered. • • • Moreover others were still decorating the rooms, only Sam and Gabriel were the only boys helping out. Clement, Lancelot and others are just too busy for themselves, it's the girls who were working hard to make this place look good for the christmas celebration. Just in Fernandez walked in with bottles of special soft drink. "Alright everyone! I got something for you" He said and everyone was amazed as they all gathered and collected a bottle each and the remaining one was given to Micah who didn't came but gazing at Fernandez instead. Lancelot didn't receive and he already look so angered gazing at Fernandez. "Now! I want to present my special gift to my world wide best friend!" Fernandez announced as he brought out an expensive bottle of wine from behind his back. Everyone was amazed and Benita was smiling and was aware that the gift is surely for Gabrielle but was shocked as Fernandez handed it to Lancelot who happily collected it. As everyone cheers at him but still wonders when they suddenly became that close as friends and with no waste of time Lancelot opened it as they cheers even more louder while Fernandez was closely watching, waiting for him to drink it so he can leave immediately. And the same time Benita began to use her eyes to search for Gabrielle to know how she would react and feel about her boyfriend giving a special gift to the same Lancelot she's in love with. But noticed that Gabrielle isn't in their midst, she seems to be the only one who's noticing that Gabrielle isn't with them then she looked at Lancelot, he was already happily turning the drink into his mouth.
