Prologue: Cam
Cam was sitting on his bed. He sighed as he turned the page on the newspaper. He didn't like newspapers, but his billet family always left one on his bed, especially if he was in it. He smiled gently as he read the article title.
"Campbell Saunders: Fit for the NHL!"
Cam began reading the article. It was about his last game, which he planned out all by himself. Ever since Mike Dallas graduated, Cam became team captain. It wasn't his choice, but he was okay with it. He made sure the team practiced well, and that they got enough rest. He knew he'd be headed for the NHL when he graduated from high school, but he wasn't sure about the rest of the Ice Hounds.
That's why he was fit to be captain, to help all of them out, especially the younger ones.
"Campbell! Campbell, would you please come down?" Elizabeth Clarkson, his billet mother called him down. She sounded slightly worried, but she always had a worried tone to her voice. "Campbell?"
Cam put down the article and called back. "I'll be there in a second!" He sighed as he checked his phone. No call from mom? He glanced at the clock. It was three in the afternoon, Sunday. Normally, his mom would be calling. He shook his head as he went down.
Cam took a breath at what he saw. The whole Clarkson family was sitting in the living room. Elizabeth, his billet dad Robert, and their children: Elisa, Daniel, and Kirsten. Cam furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't you have band practice, Elisa?" Elisa glanced at Cam and bit her lip. "Don't you have a job, Daniel?" Daniel ran his fingers through his hair. Cam glanced at Kirsten, but didn't bother to ask about her supposed date.
"You're probably wondering why we're all here." Robert said.
"Well, yeah, you're usually at work, Robert." Cam said gently. "Did the school call, or something?"
"Well, not the school," Elizabeth said softly, "but...do you remember the Rose family?" Cam nodded.
"I lived by them my whole life in Kapuskasing." Cam smiled. "Did they call?"
"Yes," Elizabeth say, "Cam, your mother passed away this morning." She said softly. "She got in a car crash and died on site." She continued. "I'm sorry, Campbell, but she's gone."
Cam stared at Elizabeth. He was frozen. He couldn't feel anything. She's lying. Mom's not gone. Cam shook his head slowly. He pursed his lips and felt them trembling. His head began to hurt from holding back tears. Everything was in slow motion.
"Campbell..." the Clarksons got up, moving to him. It was as if time were slowing down.
Thump!
"CAMPBELL!"
A/N: So, I've been on FanFiction before. I've written and posted, but all those accounts and stories are gone. Now, I've got a Camaya FanFic! -cheers- This story is AU. The only thing is it includes some of Cam having anxiety / panic disorder. Everything Degrassi has written about him is in here, except info from Friday, Feb. 15, 2013's episodes and any ones following so. This is AU! Cam and Maya have known each other since Maya was a 7th grader, so Cam was in 8th grade. He lived in Toronto during his 8th grade year, but was recruited for the Ice Hounds at the end of his 8th grade year when his family moved back to Kapuskasing. Make sense? Thanks!
I'm not asking for like 20 reviews. I'm asking for 5. Can you guys do that? Then I'll post the first chapter.
Thanks loves! xx
