A/N: Well, it's awesome to be back. I'm finally free to continue this story! Anyway where were we? Oh yeah, Cam's house burned down and Maya is going to see him. Ok everybody let's continue with the story

Karma was a pain in the butt. Trying to ignore a person wasn't going to go as plan because somehow someway someone or something was going to ruin whatever progress you were making. Halfway towards Cam's burned down house, Katie attempted at making small talk with me, but otherwise the car was filled with tension. I didn't blame her for trying to push the mood away from sadness to happiness. If it was me and we were visiting Jake's burned down house, I guess I'd be doing the same thing. We finally arrived to see Cam's family embracing as fire trucks and ambulances surrounded the area. Numerous people crowded the Saunders giving their condolences and heart felt feelings towards what they already lost. My heart went out to Cam also. Even though I tried to ignore him for the past month I couldn't just leave behind a friend when they needed me at a tragic moment. For me and Cam, that moment was now.

Without further hesitation, I pushed myself out of the car despite Katie's bickering. My arms encircled Cam. It felt like coming home. There was no bitter anguish or bad blood between us. It was just the need to comfort a friend. My eyes closed slightly to picture back flashbacks of us in this setting. You guys were always meant to be together. Not everybody can find a perfect couple like you two. Between Tori and Tristan those two kept repeating those same lines ever since we started dating. At the time, I didn't give much meaning to what they were saying. And now that I was in this compromising position, I dwelled on them for the time being as we were hugging. Finally, we broke apart staring at everybody else who came to see the Saunders.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

Cam looked at me and something in his facial expression altered. His expression was softer; softer than I've ever seen it before.

"I'm fine." He said sheepishly.

At that moment it seemed like he was lying. Angry burn marks filled his right arm and smoke arose from them. Instead of pushing on his life, I rolled up his sleeve and put one finger on one burn mark. He stiffened, but didn't complain. My other hand went to the rest of the burns on his arm.

"Cam you need help. Didn't Megan help you somewhat before I came?"

"Maya, Meagan doesn't even know about what happened to my family."

I stared back in disbelief.

"How could she not know? Mr. Simpson said it to everybody on the microphone. She should've been there in between classes to hear that."

Exactly when I said that, Meagan was pushing through the crowd to see Cam. There goes my mood.

"Cam are you ok? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" She aggressively pushed me out of the way. It seemed that Cam did the exact same thing. His demeanor changed when she took the scene. I was long forgotten. Without bothering either one of them, I moved slightly to Cam's mother and father.

They both brightened when they saw me.

"I'm glad you made it Maya." His mom said to me.

"I'm glad that everyone is safe and sound. It's good no one had severe pains."

Suddenly, both parents silenced at the mention of my second sentence. They nodded. Awkward silence settled between us and the parents moved to their next visitors. Nobody conversed with me after that. I looked around me and I felt left out. Wasn't I just here to see Cam? Why did Meagan have to steal the spotlight? Quit it Maya, you said you would ignore him right? You're just here as a friend. I spotted Tristan making his way towards Cam and Meagan. My mood sank. It didn't seem like I needed to be here anymore. Cam's got a lot of people to comfort him he doesn't need me.

I don't need anybody. He had said that once. Giving a last look at my surroundings the statement couldn't be truer than ever.

Katie tapped my shoulder asking if it was time to go. I nodded and quickly turned away as tears were about to trickle down my face.

Cam Pov

Who knew how many people would show up just to see a poor family's house burnt down. I swear the amount of people here could estimate to be the amount of people who would come to my graduation. It had been over a month since I talked to Maya face to face. It was practically a gift from God that I was allowed to see her. She helped me with my burns when I didn't ask her to. And then Meagan came over and interrupted us. My heart increased as Meagan approached. Stupid crush.

"I'm sorry that this happened." She said.

"Yeah, my mom and dad are distressed."

"I bet. What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know. Whatever my mom wants to do. I guess we'll be moving, unless we can still find a house again."

"Where are you going to live for the time being?"

That question never popped in my mind.

"I guess rent an apartment or something."

"Oh." Meagan responded somewhat flat.

"Hey boy and girl." Tristan said.

"Hey." Meagan and I said in reply.

"I thought Maya was with you a couple of minutes ago. Where did she go?"

My mind suddenly went point blank. Where did she go? I looked around in the crowd searching for a blond. Nope. She wasn't here. Why did she disappear?

I guess I had to forget about her for the time being. Tristan and Meagan looked back at me with questionable faces. Then suddenly I got it. Maya was jealous. She was jealous of Meagan. But why? Weren't they best friends? Tristan told me they spent their time with her.

My parents suddenly pulled me away from my friends to see the doctor and hear about the reports.

"I'm sorry to say this Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, but your daughter Miranda suffered from many burns and short breath. When we pulled her out of the house we tried CPR on her, but she didn't respond to us through instincts."

The doctor didn't have to finish his whole observation he just made it longer to not say the most distressing part. My sister died. It was point simple. I looked back at my parents and they fought back tears. Justin embraced me as we both cried for the girl we both loved.

Most of the people fled when the doctor left which just left us. The family.

Love you Miranda. I was just hoping you'd remember that.

When I didn't need anybody, I knew I was lying. At a time like this, people weren't supposed to be pushed back. I needed them closer.

Well, I thought this totally sucked. I haven't been on for quite a while and I just want to hear from you guys. I'm sorry there wasn't much of Camaya conversations here, and I'm also sorry Miranda died. But well, the story has to go on. Oh by the way, did you guys like how I made a small dialogue at the beginning of last chapter? I'm wondering if you guys might like that for every chapter I do. Anyway I'll be on for the rest of June so expect me a lot this month
