Chapter One
Cam's Suicide
What should've happened
'I'm sorry. It's over." Maya read the text over and over again. He couldn't mean that. Maya rolled over in bed and closed her eyes. What did this mean?
Doctors rushed around him, his vision blurry.
"Maya…" He moaned unknowingly.
"Who's Maya?" He heard a doctor ask. Cam felt something being shifted out of his pocket, buttons pressing, and then a low murmured voice. Cam couldn't be bothered to listen as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Maya woke as her phone rang. Blearily, she checked the time. It was 2:30 a.m.; slowly she picked up the phone. "Hello?" She said while yawning.
"Is this Maya?" An unrecognized voice spoke.
"Yea this is she, who's this?" Maya said still unconcentrated
"You were on Campbell Saunders emergency contact list. We have brought him into the contact list. We have brought him into the hospital after a failed suicide attempt. Would you like to come in and see him?" The doctor said sympathetically.
"I'll be there in ten minutes!" Maya said rushing as she hung up. Running across the hall, Maya banged on Katie's door.
"Cam's in the hospital, he tried to kill himself! Will you please drive me there?" Maya spoke her voice cracking as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Ye-yeah! Sure, let me just get my keys!" Katie stuttered as she rushed back into her room. "Let's go." Katie said as both Matlin girls rushed to their mom's car.
Ten minutes later the sisters arrived at the hospital.
"What room is Campbell Saunders in?" Maya said while holding her hands together to stop them from shaking.
"267…" The receptionist said as she looked at Maya in pity.
Maya rushed away and looked for the room number. Once she reached it she slowly pushed the door open. What she saw is something she wished she didn't. Cam was barely breathing. He was hooked to an IV and his arms were bandaged completely.
Maya slowly broke into sobs as she walked towards him and grasped onto his overly pale hand.
Trying to blink back her already fallen tears, she stared at his bandaged arms. She felt as if she could see the blood seeping through white cloth.
"Maya…" He moaned as he slowly stirred.
"I'm right here Cam, and I'm not leaving your side." Maya said her eyes never tearing her eyes away from his face. One tear slowly slid out of his eye and soon a waterfall followed. Shaking he tried to grasp onto Maya tighter. Maya instantly leaned in and wrapped her arms around his waist
Grasping onto him, she breathed into his scent.
"I promise, things will get better Cheesy, I promise!" Maya wailed trying to get closer to him.
"I'll get better Maya, I will. I need help and I'm finally accepting it." He said with a weary smile.
Should I write more or no? Two reviews that say yes and I will continue. Two reviews that say no and I will leave it as a one shot.
