Anything Could Happen
AN: This is the first chapter of a lot...so bear with me if I take more than 3 days to update. I hope you like it. It's pretty silly at times, and then it's kind of dramatic. I can't explain it really.
"Maya?" A voice said. A brunette woman around 35 years old ran up to me with tears in her eyes. I was outside of Degrassi, sitting down alone.
"So you're Maya?" she said as tears were pouring down.
"Cam was always talking about you, about how beautiful, smart, and kind you are" She sniffled. I actually smiled for the first time since he passed.
"Well Maya, I have something for you, Cam left it in his…note…" She cried. She went into her handbag and pulled out an iPhone , a flash drive, Hoot, and a small journal.
"In the note…he talked about leaving these especially to you." She told me. Her brown jacket was wet from the tears and the rain we were having.
"Thanks, and I'm sorry…" I said. I still didn't cry over Cam. He made his choice and I wasn't going to cry. He was selfish. He is selfish. He left me alone.
"Maya, it's not your fault, I'm sorry that you lost him," she assured. Someone in the car was making this annoying beep sound with the car horn. It was her daughter, Amanda. Cam loved Amanda, her brown hair and green eyes. I just can't believe that he would be selfish enough to leave his mother and Amanda and Joseph.
"I guess you have to go?" I asked.
"Yes," she said still sniffling. "Maya, I'm sorry I can't stay any longer, I have to go explain this to my kids and the rest of my family."
"No, I understand…bye," I spoke.
"Bye Maya, I'll try and come back sometime," she promised. She gave me a big hug and kissed my head. She ran to her car and drove off. I was alone again. Katie came 15 minutes later to pick me up in dad's black minivan. She obviously cried before she got here. She didn't say a word to me the whole way. When I got home, my mom was there wearing a frown ; my dad brought her over to me.
"Maya, I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say," she sobbed. My mother was always a crier, but my father never cried; I could see clearly that he had cried today.
"It's OK, mom," I assured her. I hugged her and my dad and ran up to my room.
"Okay, Cam, let's see what you left me," I thought as I opened the journal.
"Cam and Maya's Infinite Playlist" was plastered over the first page with different drawings and pictures of us. "What a doofus," I thought as I giggled.
"Anything Could Happen" was on the first page. The lyrics to the song were on the page in semi-understandable handwriting. In the bottom corner there was a note. "Look a the flash drive!"
I grabbed the green flash drive from my bag, and I turned on my laptop. I plugged in the flash drive and the first thing on the list was "Anything Could Happen."
"Well, hello Maya Matlin! This is Campbell Saunders, your lovely knight speaking to you." The song was playing in the background; he was smiling and wearing his varsity jacket. "I know this might seem weird, stalkerish, and awkward, but I've been planning this huge playlist for you so everytime you feel like there's something wrong, you can listen to this! By now, it's probably the beginning of your 10th grade year, hopefully."
I closed the laptop. "Tenth grade year?" I thought. He never finished this. I took a deep breath, and opened my laptop again.
"Well Maya, here's the first song of hopefully infinite." He played the song back from the beginning.
"Yes, Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding, Maya. Laugh it out!" He laughed. "I picked this song because this is how I felt when I first met you. I felt like anything COULD happen. I don't know how to explain it Maya. You're different from other girls. I love it. You're funny, sarcastic, which is really cute, smart, cute, awesome, cute, my best friend, did I mention cute?" I was smiling at this point.
"Maya, I think it's weird saying this, but I love you. I seriously do. When I met you, I was a mess, granted, I'm still a mess, but you're helping me. Maya, I'm stronger when I'm with you. I'll stop ranting so you can hear the rest of the song." The song played, and I could see he was kind of jamming out to it. When the second chorus ended, he lip synched the rest of the song. I was laughing at this point.
"Well Maya, the song's over, and I've made a fool of myself. But hey, there's always tomorrow! Byeeeeeee!" The video was over. I closed the laptop. I was going to see the rest of the videos, but it didn't feel right.
