❝Congratulations, Lennon. You do have a heart.❞


⠀⠀⠀⠀ At Camp Castra, better renowned as 'Camp Cryptid', ghost stories told around campfires aren't the only thing teens like Lennon find themselves recoiling from. A summer program hosted for young adolescents in remission, rehabilitation, or anyone with mental health disorders has those in attendance hiding from their past and personal fears, too -- if only they'd allow themselves to open up more.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Luckily, with the help of Benji and his Super 8mm camera, camp newcomer Lennon has a plan to enact that requires the involvement of everyone: Finish filming music video footage for the last two songs her brother's band ever recorded, but ultimately never got to release following his passing. Sounds easy enough, right?

⠀⠀⠀⠀Well, between all the camping, getting lost on a hike up to one of Castra's mysterious mountain summits for one of said videos, and the slight problem that is her growing feelings for Benji Dermont... it's only a matter of time before the tidal wave that is Lennon's past comes swooping back in with intent to drown, and she has to wonder: Just what is the current going to take from her this time?

This is a collaborative novel between StoryZen, who will post the same story on Inkitt, and me. Every summer, kids around the country attend summer camp. There are camps for every type of child, including sports, drama, art, and science. There are even camps for kids with disabilities and chronic illnesses. A place where they feel a little less conspicuous regarding their medical needs. These camps allow kids to be in a safe, supportive and tolerant environment where their medical needs don't set them apart. Mia is excited about spending another summer at Camp Big Pine. This is her third summer, and, now that she's 13, Mia's in the 'big girls' cabin. But Mia's also a little nervous. Camp Big Pine is full of kids with different abilities and illnesses. This year, Mia's coming with a new diagnosis, a new food restriction and a new mobility aid. Mia now walks with crutches, something she didn't have last summer. She's also been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and has also been told she is to avoid cheese. Cheese! Her favourite food! How will she survive? Alex doesn't belong at Camp Big Pine. It's a camp for kids with disabilities who are in wheelchairs and on crutches and stuff like that. Alex doesn't have a disability. Alex has Type 1 Diabetes, and that's not a disability. It just means she has to be careful about what she eats, ensure she takes insulin every time, and ensure she knows how to check if her sugar is too high or too low and how to treat that. That's not a disability. Alex doesn't want to be at Camp Big Pine. And she will do her best to get kicked out and sent home if she doesn't run away first. Something happens that forces Mia and Alex to rely on each other. And the last thing Alex wants to do is rely on anyone. Can Alex help Mia see that her life really doesn't have to change as much as she thinks, even with new restrictions? Can Mia help Alex see that being different doesn't mean you're broken?

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
