Chapter Ten: Papercuts / Part One Epilogue

"Your love hurts like a paper cut,
So sweet, never even feel it, slices so deep."

[Friday Evening]

I had finished all my weekend homework, and I mean all of it. Tomorrow, Cameron and I would be going out. I wanted to meet his family, but he told me his family was always out of the house on Saturdays, plus my family and I were always busy on Sundays. Tomorrow, it'd just be me and Cameron. I ran my fingers through my hair. Something felt wrong. I furrowed my eyebrows, turning on my computer. Me and Cameron. Me and Cam. Cam.

I think I've gone mad.

I scrolled down a website. It had an article about Cam's suicide. It sickened me that they even published this article. Why tell everyone that Cam killed himself? Why? I looked over the article, reading it. It didn't explain much, except that Eli Goldsworthy found him, and that nobody knew why he would kill himself. I know why.

"I'm just...I'm sad, and I want it to go away."

"I'm all out of ideas. It's like my head isn't screwed on right!"

I fought back tears as I clicked on a different article. I read every word, and checked every single paragraph. I looked at the picture of Cam that they had. He was in his Ice Hounds uniform, looking oh so happy. "Nobody knows why Campbell Saunders would commit suicide..." I stopped reading it, shaking my head. I groaned. Something isn't right. I need something else. I clicked on another one, and sat up as I read it. "Campbell Saunders, Grade 10 at Degrassi Community High, has recently committed suicide by slitting his wrists in the school's greenhouse."

I furrowed my eyebrows. I reread that part, making sure I read it correctly. He slit his wrists? My eyes widened a bit. In the greenhouse? I continued reading the article. "Ice Hound Team Captain Mike Dallas expresses his sorrow, but doesn't mention if he knew why Campbell would commit suicide." I felt my stomach turn and my blood boil. Why the hell did people expect Mike to know why Cam killed himself?

Cam hated hockey. But why would he kill himself over that? I felt my stomach turn again. I groaned as I continued reading. "Campbell is now buried at a cemetery in his hometown, Kapuskasing."

I quickly grabbed my phone. The grave! I wasn't sure what I'd be accomplishing, asking what it said in Cam's grave. I just needed closure, proof that he was gone.

"Kapuskasing Mortuary, Diana speaking."

"Hi, I have a question about um, well, someone buried." I sighed. "I want to know what it says on the grave."

"Go ahead, give me the name." Diana said gently.

"Campbell Saunders."

I heard some typing on the other end. I heard scrolling, and then it stopped. "I'm sorry." Diana said softly.

"There's no Campbell Saunders buried here."

I quickly hung up, and dropped my phone.

No way.
