Maya stood at her locker, she fingered the photo of Cam. She hadn't thought about him a lot lately, she'd tried not to, think about him brought back the pain she'd felt the day he died. Something to painful to relive ''Who's that?''. She jumped and shut her locker. She hadn't known he'd been watching her. He took the picture and looked at it. She felt exposed as if he'd found out some big time secret.

''Nobody''. She snatched it and hung it back up. But she had to give him an answer, he would think she had a secret. She did and she didn't want to tell him. So she'd have to answer him. ''its just a guy I used to date''. She knew she should tell him. But she didn't want to, then the real her would be on display for him to see. She wasn't the perfect girl he was dating, she had been hurt and she had baggage. ''He broke up with me''.

''What happened?'' He looked at the photo. ''Breaking with you is the dumbest thing he could ever do.'' She blushed despite her raw emotions. How in the world could he make her feel like this? Not he Cam had been able to one hundred percent. ''So tell me, why would a stable guy, break up with a girl like you?'' He wrapped his arm around her making her feel somewhat better.

''Lets just say, I wasn't enough for him''. She sighed as they started walking to class together. ''He wasn't happy enough with me, so he left me''. He squeezed her close to him.

''His loss, he didn't deserve you''. Miles brushed a hair from her face. Kissing her cheek, she wanted to shrug him off but she didn't. Talking about Cam with him didn't feel right. Cam was private to her. How would Cam feel about her going out with another guy? Was she really supposed to do this? It felt so wrong. She looked up at Miles, then with one swift movement she slide out of his arms.

''I can't go out with You anymore''. She blinked back her tears. ''I'm sorry''. She turned away from him. Tears running down her cheeks. She hadn't hurt this much in a long time. She didn't even see all the Sr's watching them as she stormed towards the door.

''Maya wait please, i'm sorry about the party!'' He begged. He reached out to touch her but she pulled her arm away. Oh God, now he was blaming himself, he'd been so kind to her. She couldn't hurt him with her Cam issues. It wasn't fair to him.

''Its not about you, your perfect''. She turned around and touched his cheek. Kissing his forehead. ''It's me Miles, I don't want to get you involved with this''. She started to cray as she walked to the place he died. She hadn't been there in so long. but maybe it would give her closure.

Clare POV

Clare had been standing near by, she had heard that come out of the girls mouth, Miles turned around and walked after her. Begging to to not to do this. But she wouldn't change her mind. Clare ran to the place she knew the girl was headed. The Green house.

She was holding a photo kneeling on the cement sobbing her eyes out, Clare knew what was wrong, and Clare knew what road Maya was headed down. She did the only thing she could. She knelt down beside her and put her arm around her. She shook her head looking around, wishing it was her who saw Cams body instead of Eli. ''Maya'' She rubbed the girls back gently. ''Maya, it'll be OK I promise''.

''How do you know?'' The girl looked at her with tear filled eyes. Clare's hear broke for her. ''You haven't lost anyone!'' Clare winced at the girls harsh tone: Adam. The girl saw Clare's face. And it changed realizing what she'd said.

''Adam''. Her voice shook. She hadn't been close to Adam, but they'd been friends. ''I forgot he was your best friend''. Clare shook her head.

''He was and I miss him, but we didn't date like you and Cam, I don't know how your feeling''. She looked at her hands then looked at Maya. ''But I know, how Miles is feeling, he just wants answers Maya, he wants to know why you don't want to go out with him, when he knows you like him''. She felt like she was telling this to the one person who'd done this to her. Maybe helping Maya would makeup for what she couldn't do for him.

''I was harsh, I know, but I don't want to take him down this road''. She explained. Clare couldn't understand why Maya wouldn't let Miles know about Cam all he wanted to do was help her. So she told Mya what she would have told Eli.

''Maya, Miles likes you, he cares about you he won't care what it takes for him to be with you , He deserves to know''. Maya let out another sob. Shaking all over. Clare sat her down and hugged her close.

''I don't want him to know me, the real me''.

'' He won't care, he's crazy about you''. She felt someone enter the room, Eli had dropped her off at school after their weekend together. The bungee jumping had reminded her why she loved Eli. She could never have with Drew what she and Eli shared. He was leaving today, this morning, she couldn't believe he'd taken time off school for her. She hugged the girl as she sobbed, but looked up to spot Eli watching from the door, he was smiling at her. She would've liked to know what he was thinking about.

''I love you''. He mouthed. She smiled, they were back to perfect. Everything would be OK. She gave him a smile. She nodded towards Miles who was leaning against the fence looking troubled. Maya was crying into her arm, so Clare answered him.

''Go talk to him''. She mouthed back. he turned around and Glanced back at her looking nervous but approached the teenager and Clare could hear them talking, but not what Eli was saying. ''Like I said Maya he won't care''.

''How are you so sure?'' Maya asked her, looking up at the older girl.

''Because I didn't''. Maya looked confused, but then she smiled as she looked at Miles. He was looking at her. She glanced back at Clare.

''I'll tell him.'' They both stood up, and Clare hugged her. She closed her eyes. She was so happy to help this girl. If only someone had been there for them to give them advice.

''That you so much Clare''. She said, ''You've helped me so much.''

''Maya!'' Miles was jogging towards her and Clare met Eli and they held hands and watched the younger couple. He pulled her into his arms. ''Whatever it is you have to tell me, just know, I have all the time in the world.''

''I think, that now is the time for that''. She took his hand and led him away. ''Last year, I met this guy, he was a hockey player, he was cute and sweet and he liked me, but he had troubles''. She stopped and sighed. ''He was depressed, all he wanted was to go back to his home town. We started dating things got worse for him... then he_'' Her voice broke.

''He what?'' Miles looked like he knew what was coming, tears were running down her cheeks.

''He, killed himself''. She started to sob and he just held her there not saying anything just supporting her, in the best way he could. Eli and Clare watched, knowing that the teens could make it through because, they had several times.
