Running Away: A Camaya Pregnancy Story
Tristan's POV
Dallas knocked on the front door of Cam's house. The door swung open, and the person at the door was so easily recognizable. Maya Matlin. "Maya!", Tori said from behind me. She sounded so relieved. She ran up and forced Maya into a hug, though, she didn't hug back. Something was really wrong. "We're here to take you home.", said Dallas as he came forward. "About that…", Maya said as she lead us into the home. We all made our way to the living room and sat down on the red velvet couches displayed in an arc. "I talked to Kathy… Mrs. Saunders… and we made some arrangements. I'm moving here for a while.", Maya's voice got lower and lower, almost to the point where we couldn't hear her. "Maya, you can't! What about your family, Degrassi?", I asked her. I rose to my feet in protest to Maya's plans. "It's for the best, Tris. Just until everything cools at home and at Degrassi. I'm going back in a few days to pick up my stuff. It will only be temporary, I promise.", she sat there, waiting for a response, but we all sat in silence for a few minutes, trying to accept Maya's decision. I couldn't accept it. She was making a big mistake. "You're making a huge mistake, Maya.", I said to her, still standing. "How is that?", Maya responded. She seemed to think that I didn't have an argument. But, boy did I! "You can't just abandon your friends! What about Katie? Didn't you hear? She was just released from the hospital after hurting herself! Do you even know that the cops announced you as DEAD?!", I put so much emphasis on that last word. I had to get through to Maya. She needs to be set on the right track. "Well, did you tell them that I'm not?", Maya asked me. She seems to be totally missing the point. "Look, Maya, we didn't know if it was true or not. You could've been dead for all we knew! We set out to find you. And we find you all settled in your plans to not even return home? Do you even know what damage you're causing? Look, I get that you're pregnant. And I get that you're being bullied, and I get how you must be feelings towards Katie and your family. I understand that you just lost Cam, but running away from home and staying where you don't belong isn't making you a stronger person! You're weak, Maya! You're just weak with no backbone! This just makes you look like you want attention. And boy, did you get it! But you're not getting any positive attention from me!", I screamed at the top of my lungs at her. There were tears in her eyes, and tears in mine. I don't regret anything I just said, and I never will. "Tristan…", she began to say in a soft voice, but I cut her off. "No, Maya. You know what? I hope that you have the time of your life here. But once you leave, don't bother coming back." I was breathing heavy, and I was crying. I walked out of the house and began walking back to the bus stop. I hope she rots in hell.
Dallas' POV
I sat in shock. Holy, Tristan can scream. "Just go…", Maya said faintly. "Maya…", I began, but she cut me off. "JUST GO!", she screamed at me. She was crying bloody murder. "Maya. Tristan didn't mean that. If you want to get away from home, you can stay with me.", I offered. I know I live in the Torres house, but, it'll have to do. "I already made plans to stay here.", Maya said with no emotion, she sat there and looked down at the ground. Zig and Tori remained quiet, but I knew Tori was probably crying. "Audra would be glad to have you.", I said to Maya, trying to convince her coming back with me was the best option. "She accepted Bianca. So, she'll accept you.", I continued. She seemed like she had no answer, but, I knew she didn't find my offer very appealing. "If I go back, and stay with you… would I have to go back to Degrassi?", Maya asked me, she was still very hesitant, and that was apparent. "Not until you want to.", I said to her, anything to convince her to come back with us. "Ok. I'll go back.", Maya said. She didn't sound happy, but she didn't sound sad. She didn't sound anything.
Maya's POV
I was sitting on the couch next to Drew. I could hear Dallas arguing with Audra. "The girl has to go home and be with her family, Mike!", I heard Audra say from the other room. This wasn't going very well. "How's Katie?", Drew asked me. Wow, the man shows concern. "As if I care if she's ok or not.", I shot back at him, I know, kinda nasty, but, I don't care. "Sorry. Didn't mean to upset you.", Drew responded. After that, it went back to silence. Dallas and Audra stopped screaming, and she appeared in the doorway. "So, when do you want to get your stuff?", she asked me. I smiled. No more Katie, and for now, no more Degrassi.
Dallas' POV
If I wanted Maya to stay here, she had to share a room with me. Well, my room isn't exactly a room. Just a piece of the living room cut off with a curtain. I didn't want her sleeping on the floor, so, she slept in my bed, with me. No, nothing is going on. Just a buddy helping out my rookies girl. My alarm clock went off, and it woke Maya. "What the hell, Dallas?", Maya said, with her eyes still closed. Her hair was a mess. I tried not to laugh. "Sorry.", I got out of bed and turned it off. "Are you sure you don't want to go back?", I asked her. "Very sure.", Maya said, now her eyes were open. "Come on. I can stay with you if you want?", I asked her. She sat up and rolled her eyes. "I said, no.", Maya said. She sounded like she was my wife. Ok, never tell anyone I said that. "Alright, alright.", I said. I stopped for a moment, then spoke again. "Are you going to talk to Tristan? It's been 2 days.", I asked her. She seemed to get a little upset. "Sorry… you don't have to answer if you don't want to.", I then said. "No, no. It's ok. I don't know, He seemed pretty upset.", Maya said. She just sat there, no movement at all. "Yeah, but, you're back.", I said to her. "Doesn't mean he's not still mad.", she said to me. After that, I said goodbye, got ready and was on my way to Degrassi.
Tori's POV
Maya's whereabouts are known to Mrs. Matlin and Katie. She is staying at the Torres house. I was fine with that at first, but now I found out she's sleeping in Dallas' bed, with Dallas IN IT! Isn't laying down with a guy on the same piece of furniture what got her into this mess? I walked over to Tristan's locker. He hasn't spoken to any one of us since our day in Kapuskasing. "Hey Tris…" I said quietly to him. He didn't bat an eye. He just kept loading his books into his locker. "You can't be mad at me.", I said to him. This time, he turned to look at me, he rolled his eyes, then turned back to his locker. "Look. Maya is going through a lot. And I understand how you feel. But, acting this way is only going to push her farther.", I trailed on my last word. "I'm angry with her, Tori. But, it's not her I'm most angry with. I'm pissed with Cam. How could he do this? This is all his fault.", Tristan said to me, his voice rose with every word. "He was sick, Tristan.", I said, my voice was trembling. I was actually scared of Tristan, for the first time ever he was scaring me. "Well, he should have fought. HE DIDN'T TRY! HE NEVER ASKED FOR HELP! HE JUST SAT THERE ON HIS SAD ASS AND DID NOTHING! WE ALL DID NOTHING! HE DID NOTHING! And now Maya has to suffer. We all have to suffer." Tristan screamed at the top of his lungs. He was breathing heavy, and it looked like a vein was popping out of his head. He slammed his locker and walked away. "Where are you going?", I called after him. "Not here!", he called back. He walked out. I heard a loud beep and a smash. "Call 911!", I heard a lady scream from outside. The next thing I knew a crowd was forming at the door. I walked outside and the next thing I saw literally gave me a heart attack.
