A/N: Hi everybody! Well, now that I'm finished with my script, all of my free time will be devoted to this story! I know I'm happy too. This chapter will mostly be about Cam's birthday and how it will be celebrated, well you know since they didn't do it on the show. Anyway this chapter will be a little shorter than what I usually do because I was rushing to keep my promise and submit 3 more chapters this week. So forgive me if they aren't really that long. Anyway, enjoy :)

It has been four months since school began this semester and Maya was a sophmore while Cam was a junior. Zoe never bothered Cam anymore and decided to date Miles. Those two were inseparable. Good luck with her. Cam thought. He was really the only one who knew who Zoe really was. As for Richard, he stopped harassing Cam and for that Cam was happy.

Cam went for practice the next day to not find his teammates anywhere in the locker room.

"Guys? Dallas?" He called to the room.

Suddenly the lights were opened and the Ice Hounds jumped up from their hiding places.

"Happy Birthday, Rookie!" Dallas, Owen, and Luke said smiling. Maya came up from behind him and kissed his cheek. A cake came by from Imogen, Drew, and Adam.

"How'd you guys know?"Cam asked his teammates.

"Your little girlfriend here told us." Luke said smiling and patting Maya's back.

"Happy Birthday Cam!" Imogen said hugging him.

"So what are you gonna do today Birdman?" Owen asked. Cam looked around at the nice people in his life. His head turned to Maya. She was the luckiest person to enter his life.

"Why don't we play a game of ice hockey?" He said smiling at everyone.

The guys cheered and everyone went on the ice.

"Go Cam!" Maya and Imogen said sitting together.

The game began. Owen was on Cam's team and each separated ways. He guarded the puck with his hockey stick and pushed away his other competitors.

Cam yelled, "Owen! Man, I'm open!" Own looked up and passed it to him. Cam slid on the ice smiling at his audience. (Maya, Imogen, Adam, and Drew) Dallas bumped into Cam playing aggressively for the puck. It didn't faze him and he got right back up.

"Go Cam!" Adam yelled. Becky joined him later and so did Eli and Clare.

"What did we miss?" Clare asked Adam.

"A lot." Adam replied.

Meanwhile with the game the score was Cam's team: 3 Dallas's team:3. Both tied with twenty seconds on the timer. C'mon you can do it Cam. Everyone's counting on you. Both boys saw the puck fly in the air. They stared at each other wondering who was going to run for it. Immediately the two dashed towards it but with awesome reflexes of Dallas he collided with Cam, causing Cam to falls face first into the ice. Everyone saw the scene. Some gasped, some yelled, and some just stared. Dallas stepped back from his place and immediately all the boys came to see him.

"Hey, What the hell?" Luke said to Dallas. This time Cam couldn't get himself back up. Maya rushed down from the bleachers to comfort her boyfriend.

"Cam?" Maya knelt down before him and examined his head.

"Ma-ya?" He said back at her a little broken.

"I'm here. I'm here."

"What's going on?" Imogen and Adam said rushing towards the couple.

"No time from questions call the ambulance!" Maya said frantically.

"Maya, let me go to the hospital with you." Dallas said clearly disappointed at what he did.

"Why should you? You caused this mess. Of all the days, it's on his birthday!"

Dallas backed away and had a lecture from his teammates.

"What is wrong with you man?" Luke said.

"Is winning really all that you care about?" Owen said to him'

"Cam only wanted to play this for fun!"

As more harsh comments were said, Dallas sunk down in his seat feeling more regretful.

"Look guys, I'm sorry I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I swear." The boys backed away and said to each other they would visit Cam.

The ambulance eventually took Cam to the hospital and the people looked at Maya.

"Are you family?"

"No, I'm his girlfriend."

"Then you can visit him on visiting hours with the rest of the others."

"Wait! Please I was the only one who got him to you guys. His family doesn't know about this yet. Please let me come with him. I'll call his parents later." The ambulance people looked at her and saw the devotion she had to her boyfriend. They all nodded and she stayed in the back staring at her boyfriend's countenance.

At the moment, his eyes were closed, probably sleeping. She leaned her head against his chest listening to his faint heart beats.

"Cam, I love you." Maya whispered to his chest, "Don't worry you're birthday isn't ruined."

When they all got to the hospital, Maya immediately called Cam's parents.

"Hello? Maya?" Cam's mom answered.

"Mrs. Saunders? It's Maya, Cam's in the hospital and he's about to wake up."

"Ok, Maya we will all be there in a few." She said and they both disconnected.

What do I tell his parents? Cam's eyes shot open and he examined the place he was in.

A hospital? Where's Maya? It's my birthday what am I doing here?

Questions shot from his head. The nurses looked at him and they stared whispering to each other as they were about to leave his room.

"That's Campbell Saunders? My daughter loves him."

"Mine too. She goes to the same school as him."

"He's from Kapuskasing, right?

"Yup. But he was drafted to play here for the Ice Hounds."

The two nurses went to their own jobs and Cam closed his eyes again. So it seems like everybody knows me. He sighed. He heard his teammate's voices.

"Um… What's Cam's room number?

"614. Over to your left." A blond haired nurse said to them.

"Rookie! How ya feelin'?" Owen said standing next to him. Luke and Richard stood by the corner staying at him.

"I'm a little better."

"Where's your girlfriend? You're really lucky to have her."

Cam looked at Luke stunned.

"Thanks. I guess she's making a phone call."

"We are really sorry about Dallas. We don't know what got into him." He's a jock who only cares about his ego.

"You ok?" Richard asked. At least he had the nerve to say that.

"Yeah, I'm good." Right then, Maya entered the room.

"Hey guys, thanks for coming." She said then turned to Cam.

"Your parents are coming in a few minutes."

"Thanks Maya." He smiled at her and then turned to the rest of the gang who decided to come.

To cheer Cam up, everyone played charades. In his bed he was laughing or smiling.

Then Imogen and Drew presented the cake from the locker room and everyone sang to him. Even Richard sang happily with the rest. His family came later, feeling as though they interrupted the event going on, but Miranda and Justin Cam forward and kissed Cam's forehead as a gift. Everyone went outside to eat cake besides Richard. He wanted to talk to him while everybody else was out of ear shot.

"Hey, um I wanted to say I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were going through a tough time you know with the pressure and whatever."

"I forgive you. I'm sorry that you weren't able to get Zoe as a girlfriend though." Cam said smiling. Even in the midst of being in a hospital bed he was still happy.

"I don't think I need her anymore. She's dating Miles and Luke used to love her. I guess I'm fine with just being single."

"You're just lucky you have a good girlfriend who loves and cares about you." Richard continued.

"Yeah, I'm happy too."

"When I first met you, I didn't want to not like you. It's just that I was really jealous that people knew you more that they knew me."

"Well you liked to be so arrogant when I met you and that's how I came to hate you."

"I only did that to fit in, but other than that I was jealous of your fame. I came from Minnesota and you came from Kapuskasing I heard about you even before I came to Degrassi."

"Yeah I know. Some nurses were talking about me before any of you guys came."

"But for the record, you're a nice guy and you really deserve to be captain." Cam smiled. It wasn't surprising that he'd brought that up. Many of the Ice Hounds thought the same thing. Dallas was, in a way, mean to others while Cam wasn't mean on purpose.

The rest of the gang came back and his brother and sister went over to him to take a selfie with him.

"Little bro, happy sixteenth! We love you." Justin said smiling.

They all played games and conversed in the hospital. Tori and Tristan came later greeting Cam yet again.

I guess it wasn't as bad of a birthday as I thought it'd be. Cam ended up singing karaoke again with Maya which pleased the crowd to no end. Everyone sang along.

Suddenly Dallas came and interrupted the party. The Ice Hounds looked at him disapprovingly.

"Relax, I'm only here to talk to Cam."

"You really have the nerve to come and ruin his party." Drew said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I didn't come to ruin anything." Dallas turned to Cam.

"Listen Rookie, I'm sorry for being such an a** about competition. I've always been like that. Even thought I try to control it, it just happens. I know that you hate me for being a birthday wrecker, so that's all I wanted to say."

The crowd took a breath and as one turned to Cam waiting for his response. Even his girlfriend stared on with admiration.

"I forgive you Dallas. I know how you are, and sometimes competition can get into my head. But if I was in your place then this is exactly what I'd do."

"I'm also sorry you've gotta spend your birthday in a hospital.

"I mean it's not that bad. You guys came by to support me and let me have fun, so I'm grateful to you all."

"So I'm forgiven?" Dallas asked.

"But there's one condition."

"What?'

"You don't make fun of me at all, but I also get the title "Captain"" Cam said triumphantly.

Dallas looked at him for a second and then carefully chose his words.

"Cam, I can't give you the title captain because coach has to determine that."

Cam looked disappointed for a minute but then brightened.

"Then you can tell him that I can be captain."

Dallas didn't look in favor for the degrade, but he sighed and nodded. The whole crowd soon left because the nurses said that he needed to rest. Well, except for Maya. She tiptoed to Cam's bed and smiled at him. He was lost in the blue eyes of his girlfriend.

"How was your birthday party?"

The two kissed for a second and then stared into each other's eyes.

"It was amazing."

Maya kicked off her shoes and asked him to move over.

"Maya, you know you're supposed to go home right? Katie is gonna kill me if she knew I kept you for the night."

She ignored him and laid beside him their faces were close to each others.

"Everyone has given their birthday presents to you. I haven't yet. So this is the best I've got. Unless you want me to leave then…"

Maya was ready to come out of the bed, but he stopped her.

"Maybe you could stay the night with me. Just call your parents and say that you're off with Tori."

Both smiled and Maya did as he said. Katie was ok with it and she closed her phone and looked back at her boyfriend.

They both cuddled together. Cam brushed the hair away from her face and liked what he saw.

"Is this one of the weirdest birthdays you've ever had?"

"Nah, I've had weirder. This one is just like every other birthday besides me ending up in the hospital."

"Yeah, but Dallas doesn't deserve to be forgiven for what he did to you. Why did you forgive him?"

"Well, I guess this is the birthday where I have to forgive starting with my pretty girlfriend."

"Gosh you are so cheesy. And what do you have to forgive from me?"

"Oh nothing. I used that for dramatic effect."

"Are you turning into Tristan?"

"No, just trying a new trend that's all."

"Well I like the same Campbell Saunders I fell in love with."

"Oh then I'll work on that." He winked at her and the nurse came in. Maya hid in the covers while the nurse did her duties with him. When she left Maya came out of the covers and snuggled with Cam once more.

"Oh, I forgot Cam, Happy Birthday." Lights were turned off and Cam blew out the candle beside them. It was like blowing out his sixteenth birthday candle all over again.

Well people, hate it? Love it? But I swear the next chapter will be more action packed than what you read here. Well now that Richard and Cam are friends (kinda) and Dallas is left in the brink, what do you guys think? I don't know either. But I think it's gonna spark some more drama. Review Review! And Favorite, or follow. More to come this week. I'm still going on my promise. Two more chappies to go! ^_^
