Author's Note: I have to say this chapter kind of disappoints me. I feel like I didn't put my best efforts into this one, thus it feeling rushed. But it's a set up for the next one. Anywho, thank you so much CosmicRain (Oh my we sure can collab together!), HeadBangerChick123 (Thank you! You'll see Cam's feelings later on.), Degrassi-fan12, and TurboWiz70! Also a huge thank you to the people that favorited and followed! Speaking of collabs as Miss Cosmic mentioned to me, I'm very much in a collaborating mood. Anyone that wants to, feel free to PM me! :) Enjoy chapter seven!

Scars and Secrets

Seven.

The alarm clock woke Maya from her slumber, she slammed it down and groaned before sitting up. She was so exhausted, deprived from sleep for yet another night. This was her normal routine, but break was soon upon her and she couldn't wait for it. She would have peace and quiet.

She got up and went downstairs to find the house eerily quiet. The TV wasn't on, neither was the radio, the kitchen didn't smell like pancakes and sausages like it normally would. She walked into the kitchen to find a note on the table.

Maya,

Your father and I had to leave earlier than we planned, we left you and Katie some money for dinner. Have fun!

See you in two days!

Love,

Mom & Dad

Maya sighed, with all the homework and studying for exams she had forgotten her parents were going away, she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to them properly. That made her feel a little bad. She set the note down and started to make herself some waffles. Since she's always the first one up it's normal that when leaving a notice of their absence that her parents would always put her name on it instead of Katie's. She turned the radio on and began singing along to the song that was currently playing. When the waffle toaster dinged she took them out and sat at the table beginning to eat. As the next song started to play an idea formed into her head. Her parents were gone, meaning there was really no supervision. These next two days she could have Cam over, of course with Katie's permission. It wouldn't be that hard to convince her, since she could have Jake over as well. Then her and Cam would be able to enjoy their weekend.

"Morning My. I see mom and dad aren't here." Katie came down with her toothbrush in her hand. Maya nodded and handed the note to her. She scanned it and grinned. "Cool they left us money. We could order pizza tonight."

"Sounds good to me. Maybe have the boys over."

"Hey now, that's not a bad idea at all." They both high fived. "Big slumber party here we come."

"Totally, I left you some waffles."

Maya smiled, she got up to wash her plate in the sink and then went upstairs to get ready for school, she couldn't wait to have Cam over. A night with her boyfriend and sister would be relaxing. She quickly texted Cam telling him she had to talk to him and to meet in their spot before getting ready.

Tonight should relieve some pressure.

Cam was waiting for the bus when his phone went off, snapping him out of his trance. He glanced at it, seeing a text from Maya.

Hey, meet me at our spot. Need to tell you something.

xoxo.

He smiled, something good must be happening, he was also excited. Whenever she puts xo's after her messages it means it's good news. And he could use some good news right about now.

When he got to school he immediately went to the library where his girlfriend sat waiting.

"Hey M." He kissed her lips and she smiled. "What's this news you have for me?"

"Well, my parents are away for two days so I was wondering if you want to spend the night?"

"I'd love to! Since it's the weekend I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind."

"I can't wait."

"Now, I have something I want to give you." He felt the panda in his backpack and went to open it without her seeing. He saw her trying to peek and he quickly turned around. "No peeking just yet." She covered her eyes.

"I'm ready, can I see now?" He pulled the bear out and held it out.

"Yeah, open your eyes." Her jaw dropped as she eyed his gift. She quickly took it from him.

"Oh Cam this is so cute! I love it!" She hugged him tightly. "I'm gonna name him Cheesy, after you." He felt his cheeks start to turn red.

"Cheesy? Are you sure he likes that name?"

"Of course he does! Don't you Cheesy?" She made him nod his head yes and giggled. "See he does like it."

"Well it's okay with me, but I thought you'd go with Cam."

"And what about when I get you two confused? You're going to wonder if I'm talking to you or the bear."

"Yeah you're right. Cheesy it is!"

"Well we better get to class or we'll be late." He wrapped his arm around her and they started for class like they normally would. But when they got there he noticed something very out of the ordinary. Zig was standing in the hallway by the classroom as if he was waiting for someone. Tori maybe? It puzzled Cam that he was standing there when he never did before. They stopped and he gave her a long kiss before departing. As he got around the corner his phone went off. He looked at the text, wondering who would be interrupting his walk to class.

Can we talk?

His eyes widened and he typed a response before shoving his phone back into his pocket.

I wonder what's wrong.
