I have returned.
Let's get to Chapter 2 and I hope this is longer. I made the last one a little short because I wanted it to end like on a cliffhanger-ish.
Cam backed up.
"Is this about when I jumped off that railing?" he asks.
"No. No, Cam. I...I..." Maya stammers with her words. Then she leans down and picks up Hoot, her stuffed owl.
She throws it at Cam playfully to change the subject.
"I don't want to lose you, that's all." Maya says.
"I need to go to practice." Cam says.
"Can I watch? It's 5 AM, who's it gonna kill?" says Maya.
"Hopefully not you." Maya wants to say but doesn't.
Cam smiles.
Even though it was only practice, Maya screamed in the stands, cheering for Cam.
Even when he went to the bathroom, Maya watched, just to make sure he didn't kill himself.
No way would she lose him again.
When Maya sees Tori, she runs to her and gives her a big hug.
"Maya. Are you okay?" Tori asks.
Maya lets go of the hug.
"I need to talk to you in private." Maya says.
"What about Tristan?" Tori says and Tristan is right behind her.
"You both can come. Just don't tell anyone." Maya says and they go to the girls' bathroom.
Maya explains the whole situation about how she was 28 and how she came back.
Tristan believed it, but Tori was skeptical.
"I don't think that's possible." Tori says.
"You went on to be a Playboy and Victoria's Secret model." Maya says.
Tori's eyes got wide in excitement.
"What about me?" Tristan asks.
"Fashion designer. You had your own fashion line and your own talk show." Maya tells him. Tori and Tristan start whispering and then look back up at Maya.
"We believe you." they say in unison.
Maya smiles.
"Ofcourse Cam would kill himself. You need to keep an eye on him. And based on what you said, don't let him talk to Zig." Tori says.
Maya nods and gets a bad feeling. She runs off and bumps into Zig.
"Have you seen Cam?" Maya asks and then looks up.
"Your eye okay?" Maya adds on.
"I just talked to him and my eye's fine. But Maya, you can't be with..." Zig started to say, but Maya ran off before he finished.
She was rushing to the greenhouse when she slipped over her shoelace.
Her face hit the ground.
"We need to take you to the nurse, Miss Matlin." Madame Jean-Aux says, standing nearby.
Maya was bleeding and she was in pain, but she had to get to Cam.
Tears formed in her eyes. Not from falling.
She just feared she would lose Cam...again.
Maya was taken to the nurse. She could always hope. Like, it was still school hours. Maya had figured that someone would find him before then if he did commit suicide right now.
But Cam was missing before he was found. It'd take a while before he thought to go to the greenhouse.
So Maya would wait. Wait. Wait, like Zig did for her. Wait, like she did for the squirrel to cross the street. (When she was 28).
On the bright side, it was a nice day. A nice day she could be spending with Cam.
Maya ran out onto the 'streets' to find him. The streets, well, where Fiona gets jumped and robbed in...future times.
Instead of finding Cam, she sees Zig and runs over to him.
"What are you doing right here, Zig?" Maya asks.
Zig doesn't answer. He just sits there and taps his foot.
"Zig." repeats Maya.
He looks away.
"Zig!" Maya shouts.
"Whaaat?" Zig asks, annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Maya asks him.
"I...told Cam...to...but I made the same mistake I made fifteen years ago." Zig says.
A tear forms in Maya's eyes.
"You...you...went back in time, too? With me?" Maya asks.
Zig nods.
"I was happy." he says.
"I was happy, too. There's nothing we can do about it, though." Maya admits.
She scoots closer to Zig and curls up in his arms, the way they did when they were...28.
Maya falls asleep in his arms. With Zig, she didn't need to be scared her own boyfriend would kill himself.
She didn't need to be scared that it wouldn't work. She knew it would work with Zig.
As long as they had each other.
One part of Maya regretted making that wish.
Another part of Maya knew that she just needed to see Cam's face and hear his laugh, just once more if it had to be.
Distant sirens start and then they get closer. Police surround Maya and Zig.
Maya looks up and sees Katie, who is going on and on, asking Maya if she's okay.
Maya just looks at Cam who's standing next to Katie and how he saw his girlfriend laying on Zig, like she was happy. Which she was. But Cam couldn't know that.
Katie just grabs her.
"Mom and Dad were freaking when you didn't come home from school." Katie addresses with Maya.
"Can I talk to Cam for a moment?" asks Maya.
Katie lets go.
"Sure. Make it quick." she says.
Maya runs over to Cam.
"Cam. It's not what you think. I can explain." Maya assures him.
"Then explain." Cam says.
Maya looks down at her feet. Where does she start? You killed yourself, so I went back in time to stop you and have you to myself forever?
"Be honest." Cam says.
Maya starts shaking from anxiety. Everyone would look at her like she was crazy if she told the truth and Cam would not believe it.
If Maya stayed quiet Cam would think she did something with Zig.
Along with the stress of not even being 28 anymore and probably being SO grounded when she got home, Maya really started shaking.
"Maya?" Katie asks.
"Maya!" Zig shouts.
"Maya, are you okay?" Cam even asks.
Everything is blurry and Maya feels light-headed.
As she loses her balance and her head bangs on the concrete, Maya shouts Cam's name.
She's taken to the hospital. It's unknown whether to be anxiety or stress or sickness.
Maya just needed Cam.
At this point, she's having mixed feelings about who she really loves. Cam or Zig.
Needles. Medicine. Bandages.
Maya can finally get some rest.
It's not Cam that interrupts her.
It's Kat and Jaxon.
To Maya, they look like faded images.
Kat's chasing Jaxon in a meadow or on a playground or something.
But Kat this time has Cam's hair and Maya's eyes. Jaxon has Maya's blonde hair and Cam's beautiful brown eyes.
It goes away and Maya can go home. She does get yelled at and is grounded for three months.
Here is her list of discipline:
1. Not allowed to see Cam.
2. Maybe do WhisperHug.
3. Phone taken away.
4. Extra chores
5. Get a job.
Maya would see Cam. Maybe not do WhisperHug. Keep her precious cell phone. Do chores. And walk dogs or babysit or something.
She broke rule one when she got to school.
"Hey, Maya, you okay?" Cam asks.
"Yes, just lonely." Maya whines.
"I won't leave you." Cam says.
"By death? Suicide? Tell me you never thought about killing yourself." Maya says.
Cam stays quiet.
"I made mistakes. We'll be together forever. Just look fifteen years ahead." Cam says.
"Yeah, Cam, just don't kill yourself." Maya says.
Principal Simpson walks by and stops when he hears what Maya said.
"Miss Matlin, we don't use that kind of language with our friends. Detention after school." he says and gives Maya her yellow detention slip.
Then he walks off like he did good business.
"I'm grounded. This means no band rehearsal and were playing tomorrow night. I'm dead." Maya whines.
"I wouldn't kill myself. I have to stay for you." Cam says.
"Aw, so sweet. You need me. If you leave me, I'll die." Maya says and kisses Cam.
It's quick and not very...in love-ish.
"Cam. I'm...calling a mental hospital and your parents. Your stability is...I'm sorry. You need help." Maya says and runs off.
Cam looks upset and goes to the greenhouse. He paces back and forth, wondering what to do.
Smartly, Maya rushes in.
The bell rings.
"You'll be late and get in more trouble." Cam says.
"I don't care. What I said hurt you, right?" Maya asks.
"Yes." Cam answers.
"You thought about killing yourself, right?" Maya asks.
"Yes!" Cam shouts.
"Just as I thought. Can you take constructive criticism?" Maya says.
Cam just grabs Maya and pulls her into a kiss. Better.
It's long and way more Rated M. Or PG-13.
Katie didn't believe Maya about wishing to go back to Cam.
Her parents didn't believe her.
Maya was glad she did.
She had Cam because of that wish she made.
Maya didn't care if anybody said it didn't happen.
It did happen.
Sorry if it's late. School is to blame along with my laptop not working. Is anybody out there a computer genius? Whenever I type 'P' it goes backwards. You have NO IDEA what I just went through typing 'P'!
The next chapter should be later today...but I can't promise it will be.
So review, follow, favorite?
Well you can review if u already followed and favorited!
Bye Bye people!
Ugh! That stupid 'P'!
Okay...I need to fix this retarded computer right now.
Bye!
