Maya Matlin lay on the floors of Degrassi's halls, her eyes closed. After all this time, she finally looked calm and at peace. Although this probably would not last. At any minute she would probably wake to find everything she ever knew to be false.
His glowing hand hovered over her static form. He never meant to hurt her. He just wanted her to be happy. He thought the Greenhouse incident would help. He did not mean to break her. He would never hurt her intentionally.
"Maya," he breathed out, wanting to cry but ghosts can't cry. So instead of crying, he settled for whining softly. He watched her still form carefully, studying everyone piece of her.
Maya's eyes fluttered open. Her eyes widened. "Why are you here? You're dead."
"I am dead. But I can't leave yet." he whispered.
"Why…why not?" This was making her head hurt so much.
"Apparently I'm stuck in limbo." He almost laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, but he did not because now was not the place for that.
"Why did you do it?" She whispered, tears slipping down her cheeks.
Cam groaned softly, "Don't cry!"
Her eyes narrowed, "What do you expect!? You jump and I am supposed to be happy?"
"That is what I expected, yes!" he whispered. Now that he heard himself, he knew it was a stupid illusion.
"I loved you, Cam! Didn't you love me?" she whispered, sitting up on the floor.
"Yes," he whispered hoarsely, "I loved you so much. That is why I had to do it. Now you can go with Zig."
Maya laughed, shaking her head. She was frightening Campbell, who wasn't aware what the laugh meant. "I never liked Zig like I liked you!"
His eyes went downcast, "I ruined everything."
Maya quieted down, and whispered "I guess I didn't help the situation by calling you out that one day…"
"No…Maya. You did the right things. I was out of line. I shouldn't have hit him. But I was so jealous…so, so jealous!" He said.
The halls were beginning to fill with students; living students. Maya and Campbell barely noticed. That is until one particular student walked through Campbell.
"Maya?" Tori asked, titling her head. "Who were you talking to?"
Maya opened her mouth to say who, but then realized, maybe she was the only one who could see him and if that was it, then she would sound crazy, maybe even delusional. She shook her head, "I was just thinking out loud."
Tori nodded slowly and then hugged her. "If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you."
Campbell smiled softly over at Maya and whispered "We can talk later."
Maya hugged her best friend back, glancing over at Campbell, and mouthed "Where can I find you?"
"I go wherever you go," he said.
Maya glanced down at the floor. How was she suppose to move on when her dead boyfriend went wherever she went? She sighed and nodded.
"Maya?" Tori whispered, "speak to me. Whats wrong?"
"I….I miss him." she said softly. It wasn't a lie but it wasn't what was bothering her.
