Okay, before I end up rambling, Please don't forget to leave a review. It would really make me happy.
Maya followed Miles out of the kitchen. Feeling a bit of anxiety rising, Maya decided to grab onto Miles' blazer. Feeling the little tug on his blazer, Miles smirked slightly and came to a stop.
"I thought we were going outside?" Maya asked.
"You're tugging on my coat." Miles laughed.
"Oh.. Sorry. I just didn't want to get lost." She responded, feeling red.
Smiling, Miles reached out for Maya's hand."It's okay. Come on," He said.
She smiled and continued to follow Miles down the stairs. Shouting and obnoxious screeching were being heard down there as they approached the last few steps. It was Dallas and the rest of the Ice hounds. Whenever she saw them, Cam would run through her mind. They were wearing their Ice Hounds jacket. They laughed and smiled. They cracked jokes. She actually hung out with Dallas and the team once, maybe twice. It was weird not seeing Cam with them. Oh Cam. She missed him. But she was not about to let him ruin her. Maya is constantly reminding herself that she is not with Cam anymore. He haunts her thoughts. No. Not this time. I'm NOT going to let Campbell fricking Saunders ruin my night.
"I think this is a good spot. Don't ya' think?" Miles ask Maya.
"Yeah. It's fine." She smiles, taking a sip of beer. Miles was right, beer was growing on her. She didn't like the taste, but she managed to tolerate it. "Soooo."
"Soooooo." Miles mimics.
"You wanted to come out here and hang out." She says.
"Yeah. I wanted to get to know you more." He smiles.
"What do you need to know about me?" Maya blushes.
"I don't know.." Miles says, taking a sip of his beer. "Oh! how about, what school are you from? Grade?"
"Degrassi. Upcoming Sophomore." She answers.
His inner self jumped happily knowing he was going to school with this girl. "Really? I'm going to Degrassi this year. Im going to be in the 10th grade too."
"That's great!" Maya says enthusiastically! "I'm going the the Paris trip this Summer, are you?"
"I'm not totally sure, honestly." Miles mutters.
"Why not?" Maya asks.
"Well, My best friend Chewy isn't sure about going either." Miles simply says.
Stifling a giggle, She tries to muster the words out of her mouth, "You have a friend named Chewy?"
"Yeah it's a funny nickname, His name is Winston, actually. I've known him since we were 5. He actually goes to Degrassi. You might know him?" Miles laughs.
"Winston. Winston. Winston." Maya repeats the name. "Umm. Im not so sure, it sounds familiar, What does he look like?"
"Asian, Big glasses, always wearing bow ties?" Miles tries to describe.
"OHH! Yeah I know him!" Maya finally remembers. "Well not KNOW him KNOW him, but I had him in my Bio class last semester! He doesn't talk much."
"Well Winston is kind of shy at first, but once you get to know him, he's really fun to hang around." Miles says proudly of his friend.
"Can I see your phone?" Miles says.
"NO!" Maya says.
"Why not?" A confused Miles flinches.
"Because i have all my nudes in it." Maya says, trying to contain her laughter.
"Are.. Are you serious?" Miles asks. Well this is awkward.
"No silly! it's just a joke." She laughs.
Huffing in relief, Miles laughs along with her. I'm glad she isn't like that. I don't need those kinds of girls. Not again. Miles thinks to himself. Taking Maya's phone he inserted his number onto her phone. He decided to call himself so he can have her number as well. "Well now you have my number, and I have yours." He smiles.
"You're pretty cool, Miles." Maya smiles back.
"You're okay." Miles jokes motioning his hand okay.
"Well I take that back! You're HORRIBLE." She laughs slapping his arm.
Mid-laugh, Maya felt someone tap her shoulders.
"Maya." The person behind her says. Instantly Maya froze.
No. No. She thinks to herself. It CAN'T be him. He's supposed to be in Kapuskasing! Taking a deep breath, Maya turned around, hoping it was not him. "Cam?" Maya says.
"Hi." Cam smiles at her
"What are you doing here?" Maya says avoiding his gaze. Damn it! Why is he here?!
"Hey Maya," Miles says placing his hands on her shoulder. "I gotta go, but I'll see you at the Paris meeting, Monday?" He says as Maya turns back around.
"You decided to come?" Maya says excitedly, quickly forgetting about her ex being back in town.
"Yeah. I did." Miles smirks. "Well I'll see you, okay?" With a quick hug, Miles walked away from that awkward mess. Who was that guy? Why was Maya so freaked out when she saw him? He thinks to himself. Shaking his head, he headed home.
"Umm. M?" Cam says awkwardly.
M. That nickname. It irritated her. But she missed that nickname soo much. She missed him too. But she didn't wanna show it. Turning around, she placed her hands on her hips. "Yeah?" She says with attitude.
"Can we talk?" He asks.
"About what Cam? We have NOTHING to talk about." She explodes.
"Maya, Please." The brown-eyed boy pleaded.
"Don't Maya, Please me, Campbell. I have nothing to say to you. You decided to leave me here, remember? I was a mess when you left me." She says feeling heated. Tears began to form in her eyes. I don't want to yell at him. She thinks. I just want to sink into his arms. But she couldn't she didnt want to go through it again. He left her. and it was His decision to make.
"Please listen to me, M." Cam pleads again. "I was sick, okay? I left to go home so I can get help. I wasn't happy here."
Barely audible, Maya speaks, "I didn't make you happy?"
"You did, Maya. Hockey didn't. I missed home. I missed my family. I found out I was depressed Maya." Cam sighs.
"d-d-depressed?" Trying to get the words out of her mouth. Maya didn't know. She knew he was sad, but she didn't know it was like that.
Nodding his head, he continued to speak, "I missed you like crazy Maya. I was happy to be back home, but I needed to tell you. I wanted to call you, I wanted to facerange you, but you didn't return my calls, you blocked me off every social media site."
"I told you I wanted to forget about you." Maya responds.
"I know, and I'm sorry for leaving you. I just needed to get better." Cam says grabbing Maya's hand. "I needed to get better, for us. So I can truly be happy."
"Are you happy?" She asks.
"Now that I finally get to tell you everything, yes. Im happy." He smiles.
"Honestly now, Cam." Maya asks.
"I've been taking medication, My mother has gotten me into counseling at least twice a week. I haven't felt this good in years Maya. I'm honestly happy," He reassures her.
"I missed you, Cam."
"I missed you, M." A giddy Campbell replies. He begins to lean in for a kiss, but a hesitant Maya stops him. "Wh-Wh-What?"
"Cam, I missed you. But I can't let you into my life so easily again. I don't want to get hurt. I was so messed up when you left. I did things that I'm not proud of. I need time to myself." She finally says.
Before letting him responds, she lets go of Cam's hand and walks away. Tears that were building finally flowed freely off her cheeks.
Campbell stood there stunned, with his mouth agape. What just happened? He thinks to himself. He thought it was going well. He finally got to tell her everything! He finally told her the truth. But she STILL walked away from him.
Cam replayed the entire conversation in his mind, trying to find what went wrong. Then he remembered that guy. Mr Fancy-shmancy suit and tie guy.
"Hey Maya," Fancy-Schmancy says putting his hands on Maya's shoulder. "I gotta go, but I'll see you at the Paris meeting, Monday?"
"You decided to come?" Maya says.
"Yeah. I did." Miles smirks. "Well I'll see you, okay?"
The Paris trip! He remembered. His mother and father spoke to him about it yesterday. Campbell had already been registered into the school so Principal Simpson managed to email Cam's parents about the trip. At first he was unsure about it. He was excited to see his teammates. He wanted to get back on the ice and be happy, like he promised. But he made up his mind. I am going to Paris. He thinks to himself. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win Maya back. Then the night of the battle of the bands play into his head. He remembered what he promised Maya.
"I'm not going to let you get away that easy. "
