A/n: Thanks for the reviews y'all.
Camille
"Hello? Mom? Is anyone home?" I close the door to my house. The house I haven't been in for what seems like ages. I walk into the kitchen and see Jack at the table.
"Hey Cammy Cat." He said putting his cup of coffee down and motioning for me to sit with him.
"Jack? Is it really you?" I asked hugging him quickly and then sitting down beside him. He nodded.
"Temporarily." He said giving me that sad smile he always gave me when something was bothering him or when he was upset with me.
"But I thought you—"
"Shh. Don't mention that Cammy. I made my last and biggest mistake that day and I thought I was doing you and your mother good. I only hurt you and practically killed your mother instead. Is she well?" He asked. It was weird, having this conversation with Jack. I'd prayed for so long he'd come back, tell me this was all a bad dream and that everything was going to go back to normal.
"She's at Ludson." I said quietly tracing the pattern of the kitchen table with my finger.
"The mental facility? God, what did I do? I did this to Lisa? This is entirely my fault. I'm so sorry." I nodded, really weird.
"Jack why am I here? How did I get here? Why didn't anyone tell me you're alive?" I asked him. There goes that sad smile again.
"Because I'm not Camille. I'm sorry honey, this is a dream."
"I don't feel like I'm dreaming."
"Well you are, but you aren't. This is the only way I could contact you honey, I left you that note for a reason." The note. Take care of her Cammy. Help her.
"Jack I'm sorry. I really tried to help mom, but she was just too much to handle. You have to understand that I—"
"Your mother? Cam, that note had nothing to do with your mother. I know about what's been going on in your life sweetheart. I've been around you since the day you found the second note. I was by your side when you were on that plane, when you walked up the steps of Degrassi for the first time. When you flirted with Chris while Emma got herself a soda."
"You saw that? I wasn't flirting, we were just...whatever." I rolled my eyes, even in death Jack knew everything, I could never keep a secret from him.
"So who am I suppose to help then Jack? No one else needs my help."
"There is someone Camille. Someone you know and care about who needs and wants your help. Please help her, she's a good girl."
"Who? Jack I hate guessing games, why can't you just tell me?"
"Because you know who it is. It's time for you to go." He said getting up from the table and putting his coffee cup in the sink.
"You're kicking out of my own house?" I asked incredulously.
"Yep. It's almost time for the dance anyway."
"Dance?" I asked confused.
"You know, Saturday night, big dance, the one you and Liberty were gonna go to and show everyone how good you two looked. Because according to you, you all look good." He said rolling his eyes. That's Jack for you.
"Dag, you really like eavesdropping, huh?" I hugged him and walked out of the kitchen, stopping to get one last look at my step-dad.
"Love you Cammy Cat." He said with his back turned.
"Love you too." I said walking past the living room. I opened the front door and stepped out into the light. I turned back to the house trying to see if Jack was standing at the door. One last look, please. The bright light was sucking me in.
"Cammy!" I heard Jack yell.
"Cammy! Cammy! Cammy!"
"Jack! JACK!" I tried to go back, but the light was too powerful for me to try and fight.
"Wait! I'm trying! Wait! WAIT!" The light pushed me back, way too power and I just gave up and everything went black.
"Cammy! Cammy, wake up!" I opened my eyes. Liberty was over me shaking me silly.
"God, I'm up, I'm up." I said pushing her off me.
"Are you ok? You were screaming so loud." God, I hope she didn't hear me.
"Who's Jack?" She asked sitting on my bed. Yep, she heard me.
"He's my step-dad." I said ringing my hands together.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Was it a nightmare?" I shook my head.
"He wants me to help someone. I just wish I knew who." Liberty gave me a worried look.
"Maybe we should skip the dance? You seem really out of it."
"No! No." I said firmly. We were going to this dance. I got out of bed and went to my closet to find the dress I'd bought for the Spring Fling.
"Cams, you haven't said anything about my outfit yet." I turned to check Liberty out. She had on a green dress that I'd picked out. The sleeves were sheer and looked hella cute.
"Aw, I told you it would look cute." She shrugged.
"Ima take my shower and get dressed and then we'll be off!" I wasn't going to let my dead stepfather's advice scare me.
