Running Away: A Camaya Pregnancy Story
Tristan's POV
It was the day of the trial. My brother, my mother, my dad, Tori, and even Maya showed up, just for moral support. I already knew I was guilty before walking into the courtroom. I missed Maya's last doctors appointment due to being on house arrest. I don't want to go to jail. I looked over to the other desk, where Zig's mom, and her lawyer were sitting. I'm surprised they could even afford it. Zig was sitting in the row of seats directly behind his mom and the lawyer. He doesn't even remember me. I wanted to go up to him, talk to him. See how much he knew, how much he remembered, but I knew I wouldn't be welcomed, especially because his mom was right by him. "Alright, everyone take your seats, court is in session!", said the judge. I sat down, I looked at my brother, then at my mom and dad. Tori tried to smile, but she couldn't. Maya just sat there and rose her eyebrows. I just want to go home.
Tori's POV
I sat in silence as I watched my ex-bff and my ex-boyfriends mother battle it out, in court! Tristan's already crying, as well as me and Maya. We sat there for hours, just listening and listening to the lawyers duke it out. After about 5 hours, I heard a big bang. It was the main judge. "We have come to a verdict.", the judge said, so everyone in the court room quit their whispering and had their eyes glued to the judge. "On the charge of public endangerment, we find the defendant... guilty. On the charge of..." I tuned him out at the point, but I heard 3 more 'guilties' and I broke. He can't go to jail for this, he can't. As much as I hate him right now, he just can't go to jail.
Maya's POV
It's been a few days since the court hearing. Tristan is going to be in a juvenile detention center for a year on 4 charges he fell guilty to. Today was the first time I was going to visit him. I was with Dallas and Drew, because I just couldn't go there alone, emotionally I couldn't do it. "Are you sure you're up to going already? He just got charged. You could wait a week or two to let the news sink in.", Dallas said to me. I know he was just trying to protect me, but, honestly, everything is so messed up already, that I just don't care anymore. "No. I want to see him. Might as well, before something else happens and we all die.", I say as I pull on my left boot. I pulled a little too hard and my leg came down with a big crash. "Matlin, calm down.", Drew said to me. And honestly, he was right, I have to calm down, I mean, what else was I expecting. We all know he did it, and there was no avoiding the consequences. But... I don't know, I can't explain it, but I feel like my heart was ripped right from my chest as I heard all 4 of those guilties.
Tristan's POV
I sit alone in a cell. A jail cell. This wasn't what I wanted to make of my life. The only person that has come to visit me is my brother, Owen. No Tori, no Maya, no Dallas. No one at all. I knew that they hated me, but, I feel so, so lonely. I made a mistake and I'm paying for it. Now I will never get a job or go to college. I'm stuck now, and it's all because I let my fears and anger get the better of me. "Hi, Tris.", I heard a familiar voice say. I look up, it's Maya, Dallas, and Drew. "Maya! Oh my god, am I glad to see you!", I say in relief. I am really happy to see her. After everything that happened, there is no place for anger and animosity. About 10 minutes later, they put all four of us in a room, with about 3 security guards so we could all talk. I didn't know if I was allowed to touch them. I went in for a hug from Maya, but all she did was back away and say, "Tris, I'm only here to talk." "Oh, sorry...", I said, disappointed, but I sat down, as well as the three of them. We all looked at each other. Drew told me that he is only here to support Dallas and Maya, so he clearly doesn't want to input or get anything from me. "Thanks for coming.", I said to Maya and Dallas. "You're welcome.", Maya said to me. What? I don't get an 'of course' or an 'anytime'. Well, I could see why, considering I was the one wearing the orange suit.
Katie's POV
Maya was visiting Tristan in Juvy today. What if he hurts her? I'm getting ahead of myself. He wouldn't do that, on purpose anyway. My mom came into the living room concerned for me, I guess I had been crying without realizing it. "Honey, I know everything has hit like a hurricane, but we have to stay strong. Maya wouldn't want you crying, Cam wouldn't either. No one would. Everything is a mess, but soon all messes get cleaned and straightened out.", my mom said to me. I looked at her, my lips started to quiver, but I got out the words. "Mom, Cam's dead, Maya's pregnant, Tristan's in jail, Zig's memory is gone, and Tori is watching it all unfold out of her control. Everything is way too messed up to be fixed. When people leave, we keep the scars.", I say to her. I get up and walk out. Life is no longer on our sides.
