GUUUUUUUUUYS. That was so sweet! I wasn't expecting so many people to love this story :) it's really heartwarming. Sorry since it's been a while but it's only because I have no internet connection here, and my brother has this hotspot thingy and he only comes home once a week from university. ANYWAAAAAAY. Here it is!
I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI.
"Dallas, I need answers, NOW!" I didn't really mean to storm in and scream but this secret was so huge. I'm the love of his life. Why wouldn't he tell me?
"Woah, Maya. What's the big deal? He told me not to tell you. Don't be pissed at me okay?" He held his hands up.
"I'm not a fucking cop, and you know what? You're right, I'll be pissed at HIM, once you take me to him." I said crossing my arms.
"Well, isn't someone the pottymouth tonight, what's wrong mini-mat? First time PMS-ing?" He asked smirking. He was just asking for it.
"Just take me to him unless you really want me to PMS Michael." I glared
His eyes widened at the harsh tone I had in saying his first name and the next thing I know he's in his car starting the engine. I look at Miles and race him to the car as realization hits me.
"SHOTGUN!" We both yell out. As Miles takes the upper hand and grabs the door handle.
"Haven't you heard of LADIES FIRST?" I ask slapping his hand away.
"Haven't YOU heard of equal treatment?" He retorts as he pushes me away.
"Haven't the two of you heard of IT'S ONE IN THE FUCKING MORNING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE YOU TWO BRATS TO GOD
KNOWS WHERE?!" Dallas is pretty pissed as Miles lets me have shotgun.
"Jeez, who's PMS-ing now?" I snicker at him.
"Mini-Mat, just shut up and call Cam." He rolls his eyes. I start to feel my pocket for my phone, unknowingly I left it at home with numerous missed calls coming from the very person we were going to.
"We'll have to use your phone, I forgot mine." I say scratching the back of my head.
"Well, my phone was stolen so what the hell do we do now? Nevermind, I think I still know the way to Wasaga Beach." Dallas says. We drove all night, Miles was playing with my hair as I pretended to sleep.
"You know Maya, you're not a very good actress." He says pulling my hair. As I stick my tongue out at him, the car comes to a stop.
"We're here."
"Yeah Dallas, I think I got that." I roll my eyes.
I get out the car as I run up the the door, turn the handle, finding it unlocked and push the door open and there on the couch is Campbell, staring at me as he stands up holding out his arms as if he expects me to run into them for a hug. I run towards him hugging him, then as I pull back, I take my arm swing it back and bring it forward with as much force as I can as I slap Campbell Saunders.
"God Maya, what's wrong with you?" He asks grabbing his cheek.
"What's wrong with me? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! YOU LEFT ME TO BELIEVE YOU WERE DEAD AND NOW YOU EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY? YOU DESERVE A FUCKING HIGH-FIVE CAM, A HIGH-FIVE TO THE FACE, WITH A FUCKING CHAIR. You made me feel so unloved. You made me go mad." I whispered the last part, as I fell to my nears bowing my head. Silently sobbing.
"I just want you to know Cam, that's what love does. You made me go mad. You hurt me so much. You didn't even think of me. Campbell Saunders, you broke me. That's something I never want to go through again. I missed you so much I forgot how it actually felt to actually feel you in my arms, so here I am again, choosing to go mad just for you. The worst part is after all this time, I Love You Campbell Saunders. Forever and Always. But I need to leave, this time I won't be left." I said as I silently stood up walked out the door and left my feet barefoot leaving small footsteps on the pathway in the field of flowers.
I was dragging my feet as I walked on the dry land, when someone grabbed my arm.
" Matlin, you can't do this to yourself. You deserve to be happy." Miles says to me.
"I'm not getting hurt again, and I'm not gonna get left behind!" I shout as I pull my arm away.
"Why do you insist on staying anyway? You don't even know Cam." I roll my eyes
"But I know you, and any moment with you is a moment definitely worth spending time on." He said softly as he wiped the undeniable tears on my cheeks. I didn't even know I was crying.
"A Beautiful girl such as yourself should not be crying. Smile, beautiful." He lifted my chin.
"Miles, please just leave me alone." I Beg him.
"Sorry, but I really can't do that." Miles shrugs.
"And why exactly is that?" I ask starting to get irritated.
"Because" He starts
"A Gentleman never lets a lady walk alone M." I See Cam, on his knees
"Cam, you can't just expect me to forgive you after what you did." I say not being able to look at him.
"Maya, I love you so much. Please don't be angry. Just stay here, with me." He's starting to beg as he stands up, he places his forehead on mine.
"You don't understand Cam, YOU left me. You pretended to be dead. You never even tried to contact me. Cam, do you know how hard that feels?" I Say as my anger starts flaring up again.
"M, I just wanted you to be happy. If that means without me, then so be it." He says grabbing my hands.
"Cam, come back, back to Degrassi. You can live with me or with Miles. We can be happy together. Cam, I don't want to live without you. Everyday, we'll just laugh, and love, and just have fun. Please Cam, Please don't leave me again. I Love You, Cheezy." Why do I Keep on crying God!
"M." He sighs. "You know I can't do that. Just stay with me then. please."
"I'm sorry Campbell. But if you're asking me to do that, I can't. I love you so much." I say as I give his a salty kiss as I forcefully pull back my hand and hook my arm onto Miles, we turn away and head to Dallas' car. We turn to leave and as I look out the back window, I see Cam, running after us. I pull up my hand and wave, thinking that this may actually be the last time I ever see the love of my life.
"You okay Maya?" Miles looks at the back seat.
"I will be soon I think." I say as I finally turn my head away from the sight of Campbell Sauders, my superstar. The light of my life. Within a few hours, the sun was already rising as we reached my house.
"Here's your stop Mini-Mat, -dressed over here won't tell me where he lives so he has to get out with you right now." He says opening my door for me.
"Don't you live right across from me?" I ask refusing to look anyone in the eyes.
"No, that's where my best friend lives. His name's Winston. You probably don-"
"Yeah, Winston Chu. He loves to take pictures I had like four classes with him last year. He doesn't really talk much so nobody notices him. But I do. I know how he feels like. He's trying to be strong and show that he doesn't mind that nobody notices him but in reality, he's scared. Scared that nobody actually knows him. But I do." I say finally looking up at Miles.
"Maya, you know, what happened this morning. We don't have to talk about it." He says using my first name seriously this time while talking to me as he rubs his arm awkwardly.
"Miles, I had thought of so many possibilities of creating an illusion that Cam's still alive. What happened earlier was never an option I let myself believe because I thought he would come to me for everything. I dreamt of the day I would be able to see Cam again alive and well, and the things I would do, and the things I would say. But maybe the only thing I regret about everything that's happened lately was that I never said goodbye. Because when he left me, that's the only thing I really wanted. A proper goodbye." I say smiling at him tears getting welled up in my eyes.
"So, you don't regret meeting me?" He asks testing the waters.
"No, of course not. I'd like to think of you as a blessing in disguise." I say hugging him as I let the tears fall, not from Cam, but from everything I've held back so much.
"Maya, you need to get home. we've got like two hours before school starts so you should take a bath cause you stink." He says pinching his nose teasingly as he smiles at me.
"Well thanks Miles, for ruining the moment." I nudge him playfully as I run inside.
"Bye Matlin, Maya Matlin!" He shouts after me. I run back.
"Oh, and Miles? Thank you." I Smile at him.
"For what?" He raises an eyebrow.
"Just thanks." I say.
Thanks for just being there and saving me from myself. I Think to myself.
"No problem." He says confused as he turns around and walks away.
Cam, I'll be here, this time I'm the one who's gonna wait for you. I smile to myself.
