Hey, I meant to update Sunday, but that didn't get to happen. I decided that this story will end soon. You all are practically dying to see what happens. And what's been happening on Degrassi? I don't have that channel anymore!
Recap: Maya was still as curious as ever and got a lot of clues. And Cam is stable now? She has every reason to choose him, right? Right...?
The chapter ended in her POV with her saying,
"As long as I'm with..."
Cam.
I have to be with Cam. Something isn't right. Nothing has ever been right.
But if I got the chance to go back to him that means I was destined to be with him all along.
The sound of a zipper awakens me. Cam's packing. Leaving for home. Wherever his home may be. Here, I guess.
"Hey." I greet.
Cam doesn't respond. He just keeps on packing clothes.
I get up.
I frown and fiddle with my thumbs. I'm getting that unappreciated feeling again.
"Where... are you staying?" I ask.
"Home." he says.
"What?"
"I'm going back home. My mom says that's the safest place for me. With her and my dad and my brothers. A happy family."
"I remember my family being happy." I think out loud.
"You, Katie, and your parents?"
"No. Jaxon, Kat, Zig, and... Maya. The happy family." I think out loud again.
"You and Zig are together?" Cam asks, a little disappointed.
I hesitate to answer. "Not anymore. Because I'm such a stupid girl."
"You're not stupid. Sometimes you don't think the way you should. When you need to make a decision, you choose the wrong one. Then you realize it's the right one. And maybe it is."
"That's the wisest thing anyone's ever told me." I compliment his wisdom.
"Well, I did see a therapist and a psychiatrist for three months." Cam says.
I laugh and start to help him pack.
Eventually, everything's packed.
"You're leaving today?" I ask. Cam nods.
"Well, that's nice. You get to see your family and you can have a fresh, fresh start." I have no idea what I'm saying. Fresh start?
I feel like the biggest idiot sometimes. Then again, can you blame me? If you thought about someone everyday of your life, wouldn't you take the chance to save them even if all your dreams already came true? Exactly. NO. Ugh, that's a Dora question.
Cam's saying something, but I'm not listening because all I can think about is the huge mistake I made.
A huge, huge mistake.
The time came when he had to go to the airport. I, personally, didn't stop him. Cam belonged in the safest environment possible, with his family. Not with me.
Even though I pretty much did all that for nothing- the wish, the mental hospital- Cam's leaving me for his family. Which, since it's his family, I'm fine with.
He drags his suitcases away. I almost run to stop him, but I stay, my feet glued to the floor. It smells like paste and fuel and coffee. I see the desk lady (I really need to figure out the proper name for the desk ladies). It looks a lot like Gina.
I rush over to her.
"Hey, Maya." she says. Gina.
"Gina, you have to help me. Cam is leaving. My love is staring at the door."
"Your love... is staring at the future." Gina corrects me.
"What's that mean?" I ask.
"He's not going to wait for you like Zig did."
"I don't want him to wait for me." I find myself saying.
"Look, Maya. I can help you. Just make your decision... and all this is over. Wake up." Gina says.
"Well, this is a freaking nightmare!"
"Lower your voice. I'm not afraid to call security."
"Just please help me. I've done everything I can."
"No, Maya. You haven't. You've been listening to your brain."
"Yeah, so?"
"Stop. This isn't a test. You're listening to your brain telling you the logical stuff. But you're not listening to your heart telling you the true, deep stuff. Stay true to your heart. You'll find yourself making the right decision. Oh, yeah, I'm a Zaya shipper." Gina says.
I nod at what she says.
I've written a thousand words, I know
'Sorry, I love you and please don't goes'
I've waited so long, I'm sure it shows
I've written a thousand words, I know
I'm wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me,
When I ask you to stay, are you gonna go on your way?
Wait for me,
I've sold a million lies you spoke
Over and over, till we broke
I know that it means everything
to you, but do you really think
this time apart will mend and help us grow?
I've told a million lies I know
I'm wasting a way, a little more everyday
Wait for me.
When I ask you to stay, are you gonna go on your way
Wait for me.
I'm wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me...
We're wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me
When I ask you to stay, are you gonna go on your way?
Wait for me
My love, don't tell me that's it over
My love, can't take it anymore
My love is staring at the future
My love is staring at the door
Don't wait for me
"Me too." I respond to Gina.
I've made my decision.
If you figured it out.. good for you. If you didn't... good for me. Suspense! Next chapter is last chapter by the way. It'll be long and real good, so get comfy. Next update: Five days to torture you! Mwah ha ha ha!
No, next update is whenever I feel like updating. Maybe Monday. Bye kiddos. I need to finish watching Storage Wars!
:)
P.S. Sorry for all these songs/poems I'm adding in. It's how I express myself. Not music, but writing stuff that rhymes. I just hope it's not cheesy. Oh, and by the way, that song is by Shane Harper and Bridget Mendler!
P.P.S. I read it and it seemed pretty short. Either it is or I'm a fast reader.
Super sorry if it is short. Better short than not updated, right?
