Scars and Secrets

Twenty One.

As Maya carried her bags to the front yard, she thought about what laid ahead. She was going away to Tori's camp for an entire week. It was going to be extremely pleasant. She hoped to spend as much time with Cam as she could. And she hoped that maybe perhaps, this vacation would make their relationship stronger.

"Maya, do you have everything you need?" Katie hollered from inside the house. After carefully looking around at her luggage, she made a mental note to herself.

Sleeping bag? Check.

Flashlight? Check.

Bug spray? Check.

Water? Check.

Clothes? Check.

Cam?

"Present." His voice carried from the sidewalk as he walked towards her. Maya turned to him, a smile growing on her face. It was like he had read her mind. Cam dropped his bags, before spreading his arms apart. Maya ran to him, hugging him tightly. He chuckled at her and spun her around before dropping her and planting a kiss on her lips.

"You know me way too well." She giggled as he smiled at her.

"Of course I do. You're my girl." He kissed her cheek before grabbing his luggage and setting it next to hers.

Maya really couldn't wait for this. She walked towards the steps and sat down, motioning for Cam to join her. He obediently followed and sat beside her, lacing their fingers together, and draping his arm over her shoulder.

"Well, we have a few minutes before Katie drives us out. What do you want to do?" Maya turned towards her boyfriend, a smile slowly curving on his face.

"I can think of one thing we can do." Maya watched as Cam gently cupped her cheek, his eyes glowing with happiness, as he leaned down and kissed her softly. She was quick to respond, kissing him back with as much passion as she could muster. This kiss was different from their others, it was soft, yet also filled with sparks of passion for the other. Maya didn't care if she was only fourteen years old, she knew that this feeling was never going to go away.

They both pulled away and smiled at each other, but turned towards the door when they heard someone clearing their throat. Katie was leaning on the door frame, her arms crossed, looking down at the two.

"Um, we were just-."

"Kissing?" Maya blushed and looked away from Cam. "Look, don't worry about it. I didn't see a thing. Ready to go?"

"I am now." Katie helped load their bags into the trunk of the car before they all climbed inside. Maya was quick to grab Cam's hand and he smiled at her.

Sweet relaxation, here I come.

The car ride was mostly silent, Katie kept stealing glances at the young couple every now and then. But it wasn't an awkward silence, Cam felt quite comfortable with his girlfriend beside him. He pulled his iPod out of his pocket and poked Maya in the side. She squealed gently and turned to him, he offered her an ear bud to which she accepted and stuck it in her ear. He pressed the shuffle button and the first song that came on made them both look at each other.

I Believe In A Thing Called Love.

"This song is very familiar." Maya noted, starting to sing along to the lyrics.

"I remember that day like no other, one of the best days ever." He smiled, and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms gently around her.

Maya rested her head on his shoulder and breathed a soft sigh. Cam began placing gentle kisses on her face, making her smile and squirm a little.

"Alright kiddies, settle down back there." Katie glared at them in the rear view mirror. They both giggled and relaxed, keeping silent but still smiling. Maya moved around in his arms to find a comfortable position before her eyes closed. Cam soon felt his eyes growing heavy too, a little nap wouldn't be so bad, would it?

"Maya, Cam, wake up! We're here." Katie shook them awake. Cam glanced out the window. Sure enough, they were. He got out of the car and stretched before looking around. It was beautiful, there was a lake that was covered with small cat tails, sand, and grass just to the left of the cabin, there was lots of woods surrounding the area, like you could just run away and get lost easily, and then there was the cabin in all its glory, the wood shining brightly from being bathed in the sunlight.

"Maya! Cam!" Tori came running to them, greeting each with a hug. "I'm so glad you guys could make it! Come on, let's bring your things inside." She started helping Katie with their luggage, while Maya and Cam walked hand in hand towards the cabin.

Cam opened the door, pulling Maya inside. The inside looked just as nice as the outside, there were a bunch of couches, a green rug sat in the middle of the floor beneath a coffee table, the kitchen had a small island with bar stools, there were also stairs leading up to the bedroom where the bunks probably were.

"This looks wonderful." Maya walked around, spinning gently in a circle, before collapsing on the couch. Cam chuckled and moved beside her, wrapping an arm around her.

"It does, I love it." Tori walked in and dropped their luggage on the floor.

"Thanks for the help you guys." She replied sarcastically before smiling. "This is going to be such a fun week!" She squealed before sitting opposite of them.

"Are your parents coming?"

"Oh no! They're away, but they said it was okay to use for spring break." She smiled at them before leaning back and pulling her phone out.

"Who else is coming Tor?"

"Tristan's on his way, and Zig's upstairs setting up his bunk." Cam felt all the blood drain from his face, his hand gripped the inside of his jacket so tight that he knew his knuckles were white. He had completely forgotten that Zig would of been on this trip too, since he's still Tori's boyfriend and she still doesn't know about the kiss.

He saw Maya glance at him, he faked a smile and rubbed her back while she leaned her head on his shoulder. This was going to be a long week, and things were about to get awkward.

It'll be okay, stop worrying! Maya won't leave you, get it together.
