~*~

It was three years later when things finally changed.

Things were changing mildly over the past theee years ever since Mary and Cameron both went off to college. It took a lot for Mary to put herself back together. She left behind old friends the day she went to college, not speaking to Diana or Raine or any of them for that matter. Along with all of them, she left behind Cameron.

However, they still attended the same university like they had planned all throughout high school, they just didn't spend the years together like also planned. They saw each other around, but a word was never spoken to one another.

Now it was early June and Mary was on her way home for the summer. With all the things changing, some changed for the better. For example, her mother. Her mother finally got her life together with the help of rehab. She moved out of that old house and into a nice studio apartment with the man she met after getting out of rehab. His name was James, and he was a nice man who looked out for Mary's mom.

Something else that changed was Mary herself. Her hair, her attitude, her social abilities. She was a different person. She colored her hair a darker color and took more chances in college than she was used to. She pushed herself to do things she wouldn't usually do. She was sociable in college.

On her way home she wasn't quite ready to visit her mom and James, so she roamed the streets of Chino, California after getting a smoothie somewhere. She was in the neighborhood her and Cameron once ran through in the middle of the night through other people's sprinklers. She couldn't picture anything, she could only remember the way Cameron has explained it.

And then she was in her old neighborhood. A neighborhood that only consisted of a young boy and a young girl and their slightly screwed up parents. Mary and Cameron always thought of it as their neighborhood. Only their two houses and the whole empty road was theirs. All the land on that block was what they thought as theirs.

After a while of walking, she came face to face with the streetlight at the end of the road. She stared at it for no reason. It was just there, in front of her. On that streetlight, there was a carving. When she saw it she dropped her smoothie on the ground.

CAM is what was carved into the streetlight, and below it was MARY.

Cam and Mary. Mary furrowed her eyebrows as something flashed in her mind.

"This is our territory." A young boy with chocolate brown hair said.

Mary was confused as to why she was imagining a kid in her mind. He looked like he was about nine or ten, somewhere around there.

Next to the young boy stood a girl his age, watching him as he carved into the streetlight.

"We should live here forever, Cam." the little girl says with a grin.

"When my parents get old die, you can move into my house. We can live there." he replies, concentrating on carving the 'Y' at the end of Mary's name.

"Could we adopt animals from the shelter?" she asks with a sparkle in her eye as he finishes.

They step back and look at the streetlight.

"Cam and Mary." the boy reads it.

"It should say Mary and Cam." the girl giggles.

Mary gasps. That really happened... she remembered something. Not just that, but now a whole bunch of memories ran around her head at once, giving her a headache.
