Authors note: I have decided this story is set around season 2 episode 15.
Sarah drove home. She could barely cope with what was happening. How could her son save the human race by running away. She thought he was becoming more of a soldier each day, but how could a soldier turn their back on everyone just because one girl broke his heart. Sarah realised she was sounding a bit oblivious to the way he felt. Spending most of her time with a terminator was making her become more like one. She got out of the car and walked into her house. It was clean. There house was too clean. Ever since John was born her house seemed too clean, because they were never home to mess it up. They were always out and running away from life threatening situations. John never had time to just be a human. Sarah sat on the couch, out her head on her knees and cried. It is becoming too much for her. Would John ever make it home, could she depend on Derek when he hadn't told her he is friends with someone who was stalking them?
Derek searched the streets for John. It seems like many people are doing that lately. Why did John have to keep running away? Derek could see John in the distance. Derek ran up to him and grabbed him.
"Why are you doing this John?" Derek yelled, "The whole world is depending on you! You can't keep running away!"
"You don't know anything! Riley was the only person who made me feel happy, and she was a fake, another plot of the resistance!" John yelled.
"The resistance didn't do this. Jesse did."
"You just happened to turn up at her house, so you knew about this the whole time. I had a stalker and you didn't bother to tell me!"
"John, just come home. What about Sarah, she's worried about you?"
"No. I don't want to. I am sick of this, if it isn't Skynet, it's you's, if it isn't you guys, it's my girlfriend!"
"John, let's go home, we can just talk about this."
"What are you going to say? You're sorry i was chosen for this fate?"
"I will never be sorry. You will save us all one day."
"How can i when i can't even trust my own friends?"
"Sarah needs you. Lets go home, or are you going to turn your back on the future of the human race."
"No. Because i was programmed like this, it is my mission. Like it's your mission to follow me, mum's mission to interfere in everything..." John said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you don't have a choice in this, but your mum needs you."
John climbed into Derek's car. They drove back to the Connor's house. After the ride John got out of the car, and walked inside his house, to see his mother crying on the couch. John walked up to her and sat down, and hugged her.
"I'm sorry mum. I will never run away like that again." He said almost crying too.
"It's not that John, i just wish you didn't have to deal with this. I wish you could just be a normal kid."
"I'm never going to be a normal kid, i think that it's time that we forget the past and just think of the future."
"Do you want me to leave, Sarah?" Derek asked.
"No. The war has been tearing this family apart, we need to stay together."
They all sat together on the couch in front of the fireplace.
Cameron stood still, while watching them leave. She had no expression on her face, but deep down she felt a feeling which she thought was sadness. No matter what happened she told herself she would do what ever it takes to protect John. Even if it mean following him where ever he goes. She could not fail him again. She will never let him meet anyone so harmful and she would try to be more human. Cameron walked down the road until she found a car. She stood in front of it as a man stepped out of the car. She walked over to him and said politely, "Can i please steel your car?"
He ran away as fast as he could. As he was running Cameron called out, "I'm sorry."
She climbed into the car and drove to West Park. She could see the bright light coming from behind the curtains of the Connor's house. She jumped over their fence and unlocked the back door with her key and walked inside. She placed a camera on the wall that is the size a fly. Then she exited the house.
"Did you hear something?" John asked as his eyes opened.
"No," Sarah replied lost in the happiness of having her son back.
Cameron walked back to her car and picked up a laptop. She wirelessly connected it to the camera. She watched through the camera at the scene. She could see them all sleeping on the couch, looking like a loving family. Cameron longed for that feeling. She wished she could feel human emotion.
The next day John woke up and got ready for his first day of school at WPH (west park high-school). He caught the bus with some strangers and arrived at his destination. He walked through the school gate, not noticing the person hiding behind a tree staring at him. Cameron knew she felt sadness for sure this time. She wished she could just walk up to John and hug him, she wanted love. John and Sarah were like a family to her, but she never noticed what they meant to her. She climbed over the school fence, not bothering to in role herself at the school. John walked into his first class, as Cameron lingered outside.
"Excuse me, what is your business here?" A teacher asked.
Cameron turned her head slowly, had eye contact for 1 second then turned her head back to the window. She thought that was too inhuman, so she answered with, "Watching. I admire your students. I am here from the West Park and city area school council, and i would like to investigate your school."
"Oh, really? Okay, feel free to watch with freedom."
The teacher walked away. Another teacher stood at the classroom door. He opened it and walked inside.
"Welcome to class. I am Mr Alexandra and you are the names on this list."
The man held up the role and he read each name from it.
"Thank you class. Humanity is defined as; human beings collectively, being human, and human nature. Another meaning is; learning or literature concerned with human culture. I believe we are to study the second one" he said in a flat voice.
John thought he recognised that face from somewhere but he couldn't figured it out. The man kept staring at John. Today was reminding him of his first day of school a few years ago. The time when a terminator chased him around the school, and the first time he met Cameron. He missed her. He couldn't believe it but he actually missed her. He got lost in his thoughts thinking about her when the teacher called out his name.
"John Bishop." he said using John's new name.
"Yes," John replied.
"Can i speak to you in privet?"
"Err... yeah."
Mr Alexander guided John to his office. John was expecting this. He was ready to run away.
"Welcome to our class," Mr Alexander said.
Maybe John was wrong about him.
"Thanks,"
John walked out of the office almost spotting Cameron. He walked back to his seat. Instead of killing him, the teacher was welcoming him? That was really shocking for John. In class John sat next to a girl named Emma.
"So where do you come from?" she asked.
"Just out of town. How about you?" John replied happy to be making conversation with a human girl.
"I used to live in Boston before we moved here. My Dad died and that was the end of my Harvard University dream."
"I know the feeling."
After that subject John walked out of the room straight past Cameron without even noticing her. Emma walked out too. Cameron told Emma to follow her. They were standing around the corner from her next class.
"Are you nice?" Cameron asked.
"What? Umm.. yeah, i guess." Emma replied.
"Will you hurt people you love?"
"No. Why are you asking me this?"
"Do you need to know the truth about everything?"
"Not if it's bad."
"Have you time travelled back from the future?"
"No! What is wrong with you!"
"You are free to leave now."
Before the girl could say anything else Cameron walked away.
