New here, but not new here. I love Degrassi so much. I want to audition to be a new character on the show.
Too bad Canada is pretty far away from where I love. Bummer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of its characters.
Maya played her cello loud and clear. There on the couch sat her husband Zig and her two kids: seven year old Jaxon and four year old Katrina, mostly known as Kat.
Maya finished happily. They all clapped.
Kat ran over to her.
"Mommy, can I try?" Kat asks.
"No, Kat." Jaxon answers for Maya.
"What he said. Go in the kitchen and eat dinner." Maya orders. Kat and Jaxon race into the kitchen. Zig leans down and kisses Maya.
"I'm glad you waited for me." Maya whispers.
"Look back fifteen years ago. All that Cam stuff and..." Zig began. He kept talking, but Maya didn't listen.
Whenever she heard the name 'Cam' or 'Campbell', she froze and fought hard memories.
She just kissed Zig, so he'd be quiet about Cam.
Kat screamed from the kitchen. They both rushed into the kitchen and saw Kat on the floor crying.
"Jaxon, did you push her?" Maya asks.
"No, she jumped." Jaxon says. Zig picks Kat up and sees blood coming from her nose and a bruise on her forehead.
"I'm taking her to the emergency room. Meet us there, Maya!" Zig says and rushes out with Kat.
"Go, Jaxon!" Maya shouts and Jaxon runs out with his father.
She sits at the table for hours and hours, thinking about Cam.
Then Maya decides to go for a walk.
It starts raining out of nowhere. The only person on the street is a woman in her mid-twenties, like Maya, named Gina.
Gina waves and motions for Maya to come closer. Maya reluctantly walks over to her.
"You wish for something. I can feel it." Gina says.
"No I don't. I love my life exactly the way it is." Maya lies.
"No you don't. You wish for something. The longer you deny it, the longer it doesn't come true. Tell me your wishes. You have three and only one minute. Begin." Gina says.
"One million dollars?" Maya guesses what she wants.
"Common wish. Next." Gina says and suddenly has a bag with all that money in there.
"No world hunger." Maya says.
"Fifty-fifty. Last one." Gina says.
Maya bites her bottom lip.
"Come on. Go. Thirty seconds. What do you want most? Any moments you want to go back to?" Gina rushes.
A tear runs down Maya's face.
"I...I want...I want to go...back to the night...I...I...I last saw...Campbell Saunders alive." Maya chokes out.
"Take your money." Gina says.
Maya picks up the bag and when she looks up Gina is gone.
Then, in a blink, she's hit in the face with a stuffed animal by Campbell as Katie walks off.
Maya feels dainty and her skin feels softer.
The rest of the night with Cam was like the one 15 years ago.
This time in the morning, Maya woke up extra early.
She made eggs, bacon, toast, and sausage. She set up the table and poured orange juice in a cup.
Then Maya sat the plate down and woke Cam up.
"I know you have hockey practice, but I made you breakfast, so you only need to eat a little." Maya says.
"How do you know I have hockey practice?" Cam asks.
"Um...I saw a bulletin about it. At school." Maya lied. Her palms got sweaty.
"Okay, thanks. It's early you should get back to sleep. You were drooling." Cam says.
Maya laughs.
Maya sits down at the table with Cam and watches him. He only eats the toast and drinks the orange juice. When he stands up, Maya just hugs him and starts crying.
"Maya? You feeling okay?" Cam asks.
Maya says nothing, but she keeps hugging him and he hugs back.
"I need you to promise me something." Maya says.
"What?" Cam asks.
Maya sniffled.
"That you'll never leave me or hurt me." Maya says.
"Or yourself." she wants to say, but doesn't.
Cam is silent. Not a hesitation but not a real, total 'Yes, I'll never hurt you."
"Cam?" Maya asks.
"I love you." Cam whispers in Maya's ear.
Maya thinks about her like fifteen years ahead.
With Cam this time.
Or her life fifteen years ahead, how it was the day before. With Zig. And their two kids. And all her dreams that came true.
But what about her dreams she had with Cam?
Can they still come true?
Or will he kill himself?
Maya thought about all of that as she pulled back and kissed Cam...it could be the last time.
This is my second story. I brainstormed ideas for a Degrassi story and then out of nowhere I got this idea. I want a few a reviews to know if I should continue it, though.
Weird. Like starting a new school. This is a whole new, like, community. A new show I'm doing fanfic for.
Odd. I really want to feel welcome in the Degrassi fanfic area.
