A/N: You know sometimes I guess you guys shouldn't keep my word when I say I'm gonna stay on all the time. But… life happens. Anyway, ch. 12 is ready to be read.
Life comes with challenges, failures, and sometimes triumph. I've learned that in many of my experiences in high school and relationships. Even though outcomes are never pretty it's hard to keep a straight face and keep going. For example, look at me. Maya Matlin, a stubborn girl who acts like she knows everything. But really I don't. My only big relationship was with Cam and even though we may look like the perfect couple, not every relationship is perfect. Believe me, if you would be in my place I guess you could be the judge of that.
It didn't take me long to realize that the perfect boyfriend I ever had was going to leave me. At least, I had the guts to run to him and apologize for being so… stubborn. Katie immediately drove me to his apartment and asked no questions. My mind was spinning with questions. Why didn't I say anything to him when he was with me? Why didn't I make up my differences with him about Meagan? I swear if I could go back in time, it would be back to the spot where he lost control and yelled at me. I shouldn't have been a brat about it instead I was his girlfriend; I was supposed to help him ; aid him in whatever he needed. And I guess all he needed was me.
When we arrived at his apartment, I didn't wait for Katie to put the car on park I just got out and the stupid machine was saying Please put on passenger seat belt. I could care less to respond back to a computer.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Katie wondered.
"Katie, it's Cam I would do anything for him."
She nodded and I ran up to the door and rang the door bell. Once, nothing. Twice, nothing. A third time, still nothing.
Katie peeked from the hood of the car.
"Maya I'm guessing they're not there."
"Of course they're not there Gandi."
She put her hands up in surrender.
"Fine, let's go to the airport."
"Who's at the airport?"
"Just somebody I know."
Again, she didn't need to ask many questions. But judging by my odd behavior she wanted to ask but was too shy.
Upon arriving to the airport, I slipped towards the entrance watching the crowd go by. Katie pulled my arm.
"Maya, don't get lost. I'm gonna stay in the car. You got 5 minutes and I'm coming in after you."
I nodded and lost myself in the crowd.
Brunette with bushy hair. That's what I'm looking for. There were so many heads that I got dizzy and lazy in searching, and I bet everybody was staring at my worn out face.
A lady's voice chimed on the microphone.
"Hello, everybody, flight to Washington is at 5:15. We will be on time."
I looked back at my watch. It's 5:05 I got time. I moved to the gate for Washington and saw a brunette with an Ice Hound jacket.
"Cam!" I screamed. I shoved people out of my way not bothering to apologize if they fall or not. That was their problem not mine. Hurridly, I moved closer and suddenly a pair of hands grabbed at mine.
"Excuse me young lady," A male voice said," You are not permitted in this area. You must be on a destination with a bag or two."
It was a police officer and I was caught.
"Well, " I stumbled. "I'm only wishing a friend good-bye."
"You should've done that hours ago before they crossed this line. Now I suggest you move before I arrest you."
Ignoring him, I yelled out,
"Cam! Cam! It's me, Maya!"
The officer hauled me out.
The brunette turned, but Justin pushed him forward to the gate.
"Cam!" It was my last plea. But it was all too late, the gate closed for the flight and for boarding passengers.
"I suggest you go on home." The officer said and left me.
Tears of shame drowned my face.
I was ten times the fool for not telling Cam how I felt, for not voicing out my concern about Meagan, and also for not comforting him towards his needs.
In all circumstances, I wasn't the best girlfriend, and I left my perfect half shed away from me. Stupid, stubborn, jealous, coward. I absorbed every heart breaking adjective as I moved towards the car to Katie. She stared back at me stunned.
"Maya, it's ok." Katie said patting my back in the car.
"NO! It will never be ok. He's gone. I can't seem to say anything I wanted to say. It's not fair! Why am I the one suffering here?"
"It will pass. Believe me when it was Drew I—"
"Well that's different. I've heard that about a million times. Katie I'm not like you ok? Not every relationship is the same."
"I get that it's hard for you to let him go, but seriously you—"
"Seriously! I don't want to hear a life lesson from you!"
She backed away and led me inside the car.
"Let's just get home."
"Please." I said tears still rushing down my face.
All I could think about was him. What could I do to change the past? Well, absolutely nothing.
When we settled back at home, I returned back to my normal state. Haggard, broken, and useless.
Luckily, it was just Katie and me at the house and mom and dad were out on vacation.
"Maya, getting over boys isn't easy. Believe me, I've been down that road before. It's not pretty. Just trust me on this."
I nodded to Katie.
"Over time, things get better. You'll see, I'm sure of it."
"If only you could be in my shoes, then you'd see why I complain so much."
"I live with you. Isn't that already enough?"
"Yeah I guess so." I said in agreement.
I guess my fairytale ending wasn't so happy after all, but I guess it's good enough… For now.
Well, I know this personally sucked. I rewrote this chapter 4 times. And I still think it needs a little tweaking. But please tell me what you think. Oh and also next chapter has Cam's pov, for the entire chapter. Also I watched Frenemies and saw Dylan Everett! Well, I called him Cam for most of the movie (even though his name is Lance in the movie). IT was nice to just stare at his face. Anyway, I will be updating soon. Thanks to everyone who commented on this story I really appreciate it!
