Chapter Ten: Cam

The Next Day...
Friday

"I miss all the times he and I had."

"I feel like they're all coming back."

"I actually like Cam and..."

Cam sighed as he sat on his...well, Katie's bed. Maya likes me? He was already dressed, and ready to eat breakfast, but he just couldn't go to the kitchen. He knew Jessica and Dustin were already there, because he had heard them yelling when they left their bedroom. Cam hadn't heard Maya, so she was either asleep or not done getting ready. She misses us? Cam bit his lip. No...that...this...can't...can't happen. Cam groaned as he fell back onto the bed.

Maya? And me? Again? Cam felt his stomach turn and his heart race. It'd be nice...but...she still blames herself for what I did. Cam sighed as he got up. He picked up his backpack and duffel bag. He had changed the clothes in it, mentally reminding himself to clean the other pair. He opened his door, and his eyes widened a bit when Maya opened her door. Really?! She was looking down at her phone, probably texting Tori.

Should I keep walking or-

"Oh, hey, good morning." Maya smiled gently. She doesn't know I know...

Cam nodded and smiled at Maya, and began walking to the kitchen. He heard Maya take a breath, but he knew she went back to texting. He sat down at the table next to Dustin. "Did you wake up late?" Dustin asked.

"Kind of," Cam said, "late practice last night." He continued. "I've got late practice tonight too." Dustin pouted. "Hey, we can hang out all weekend, okay?" Cam smiled. "There's no practice." Dustin smiled again, and Cam laughed softly. He glanced at Maya, who was barely entering the room. She headed to the fridge, grabbing a pitcher of orange juice.

"Are you guys thirsty?" Maya turned to Cam and his siblings. Cam smiled gently and shook his head. You've got to avoid her today, Saunders. Give yourself time to think. Maya walked over to Jessica, who was nodding with a toothy grin. Oh, Jessica. Cam let out a breath as he continued eating his breakfast.

"Got a late practice again tonight, Campbell?" Dennis asked, sitting at the breakfast bar.

"Yes," Cam said, "I'll be here late," he sighed, "one of the Ice Hounds is going to take me home." He smiled gently.

"Alright," Dennis said, "you've got your copy of the house key, right?" Cam nodded. "Good." Dennis said.

Cam took a breath as Maya sat down. She placed some food on her plate before drinking some orange juice. I wonder if she wants to be with me again. I mean...would that be good? Cam sighed as he finished his food. He took his plate, placing it in the sink. He grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth. I just need to get away from Maya all day, as long as I can.

"You kids done?" Dennis asked. "Let's go."

Maya nodded at her dad, grabbing her plate and Jessica's plate. She's so kind to Jessica. Maya placed the plates in the sink, and walked over to Dustin, picking up his backpack before handing it to him. And to Dustin. Cam bit his lower lip, glancing away from Maya as Dennis headed to the front door. No, Saunders. You need to stop. You can't...just...fall for her again. Not this time. You need...you need to think.

You can't do everything wrong again.

Cam sighed as he walked into the cafeteria with the Ice Hounds. All he had said to Maya earlier was, "I'll be home late." And "Good luck with French." He hadn't uttered a single word when he passed by her locker or when he saw Zig coming near her. Luckily, some of the Ice Hounds had gotten Zig to leave, without making contact with Maya. Cam glanced around the cafeteria. There she is.

Maya had on a small smile, but she laughed after a second. She has a cute laugh. Cam walked into the lunch line with the Ice Hounds. "Hey, captain, how are you and that girl doing?" One of the Ice Hounds asked Cam. Cam sighed.

"What girl?" He asked. "I...there's...no girl."

"Come on, Little Man," Luke Baker laughed, "we all know you're still in love with that Matlin girl."

"No way, that one sophomore?" One Ice Hound asked.

"I heard her sister is pretty hot." Another laughed gently.

Cam sighed as he grabbed his tray, "Maya?"

"Yeah, her." Luke said.

"There's...nothing going on between us..." Cam scoffed, grabbing some food. "She's just...Maya." He sighed. "We're...you know, friends."

"Come on, you guys are obviously more than that." One of the new Ice Hounds said.

"Best friends?" Cam sighed. That's not enough.

"Sure," Luke shook his head. Cam smiled as he paid for his lunch.

"Best friends, that's it." Cam turned with the Ice Hounds as they began walking to their table. He glanced at Maya's table. She smiled at Cam, and he gave a small smile.

"Saw that." Luke coughed. Cam felt himself turn a bit red, so he turned away.

Cam sat down, and sighed as he glanced at Maya again. I don't know if best friends is enough for me. I just...can't take that.

"Hey captain, that shot you made was amazing!" One of the newer Ice Hounds spoke to Cam in the locker room. "You've got to show me your skills next practice." Cam smiled as he sat down on the bench. Some of the guys began changing, because they had plans. It was a Friday after all.

"Yeah, Cam, you were really good out there!" Another one said.

Cam smiled, "Thanks guys." He said, placing some of his clothes in his bag. He quickly put on his other clothes before grabbing a bottle of Gatorade. He chugged some down, taking in the drink. He tossed the bottle into his bag before taking out his phone.

8:30 P.M. I wonder if Maya is still awake? Cam sighed as he waited for one of the older Ice Hounds. "Let's go, captain." The Ice Hound smiled, and waited as the rest of the Ice Hounds left. Cam walked beside his ride home, smiling to himself. "Captain" sounds so nice.

As Cam got into the car, the Ice Hound began talking to him. I've never heard him talk so much. Cam smiled to himself. "So, is there anything going on between you and Maya?" He asked. "Where do you live anyways?"

"We're just best friends." Cam said. "I don't...have feelings for her." He sighed. "Oh, and I'll just give you directions." Cam said. There is no way I'm letting the Ice Hounds know I live with Maya's family.

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah," Cam nodded, giving him some directions. "I just...she's my best friend, okay." The Ice Hound smiled. "That's the house," he gestured.

"I feel like I've seen this house before..." Cam took a breath.

"I don't know," Cam shrugged, grabbing his things, "thanks for the ride, man, see you Monday."

"Alright, see you, captain!" Cam closed the car door and walked up to the front door. He grabbed the key from his pocket, walking in. He sighed as he shut the door behind him gently. The lights were off, and he was pretty sure everybody was asleep, until Dennis walked out of the dark kitchen. Shit! That scared me. Cam took a breath.

"Oh, you're home." Dennis said. "Maya was staying up, but she fell asleep." Cam nodded. "Good night, Campbell."

"Good night," Cam nodded and walked down the hall. He opened Katie's bedroom before dropping his things beside his bed. He groaned and got up. Maya was staying up? He walked out of Katie's bedroom, walking towards Maya's room. Should I knock? She's not even awake...Cam shrugged to himself, knocking softly. "Maya, you up?" He waited a few seconds, and began to hear her soft breathing.

Cam smiled and gently opened the door. He saw Maya on the bed, holding Hoot in her arms. Cam laughed softly as he sat in the open space on her bed. "Practice sucked," Cam said softly, "I mean...we did great, but you know, I wish I could've been here earlier." Cam sighed. "Spend time with my siblings...and you..."

What are you saying, Saunders? He smiled as he listened to her soft breathing. "I miss us, Maya...and sometimes I just...question last year and I..." Cam began choking on his words. "Maya, I think I still...like you, maybe even more than that." Cam said softly. "I just need to know that you feel the same way." He got up and leaned closer to her face. He kissed her forehead gently. "Sleep well, Maya." He whispered, before turning and leaving her. "I promise, I won't let Zig get between us."

"FIGHT ME!"

"What the hell is your problem?!"

"If you really wanted Maya to be happy, you'd get out of her life, forever."

"You don't deserve Maya!"

Cam sighed, remembering everything with Zig. You won't get away with it this time, Zig. I won't let you hurt us. Not this time.

Cam shut Maya's door gently, and smiled.

I still like you, Maya. Maybe even more than that...please, just explain to me how you feel.

A/N: No UD tomorrow because I have homework & I'm going out. Thanks for the love, everybody! :))
