Prologue
🎧 Please Play music when I say so for better effects🎶
//Third POV//
With a switch of gears, the car was parked into the driveway, waiting for it to be used again.
You, Y/n L/n, trudged up the driveway and unlocked the door with the Golden key that was hiding in your pocket.
You walked through the door of your house calling out a tired, "I'm home."
The house was dark, but everyone's cars were still there so everyone must've have been asleep, it being 2AM after all.
Some days you would find Allison or Blake still up.
Your roommates were always worried about you coming home so late from work and tried to stay up and wait for you.
Allison Connor has positivity in her blood stream, having fun pursuing her dreams of voice acting and always thinking there's a reason to everything.
She loved her newly wed husband Thomas Connor (who she was planning to move into her own house with in 1 or 2 months) with all her heart and was basically an angel.
Blake Reinhowzer is a jokester and comedic guy who takes pride in his cooking, always doing the right thing while being a little mischievous along the way, always cracking jokes and helping you and some of your other roommates pull pranks on each other.
He loves animals and would do anything for his girlfriend, Margarita.
Logan Archer was the more responsible and grown up out of all of you, pulling the least amount of pranks on each other and having to clean all of your messes.
Logan and You became quick friends when you two first met, bonding over books and music.
Logan was a sweet and gentle guy, compassionate and generous, while being very assertive.
Mariana "Marie" Lopez, is one of your childhood friends and is the only one who you can see in physical form, while the rest of the gang is out of state.
She works as a correctional officer in the state jail for the women side, so she gets home just as late as you in some nights.
And finally, there's the one who started the whole roommates thing into one house and brought everyone together.
None of you still know her real name despite living there for 2 years, but she said to call her Celeryy.
Most of the time, she barely leaves her room on the top floor and just stays in there making art for her animation/digital job or watching YouTube or anime.
She has no discernible personality but she pays all the bills from all of your pay from rent and has a decent credit score.
You took a quick shower and changed into pajamas after getting out of uniform.
You are an agent for Child Protection Services and works hard to help kids in need and suffering.
You couldn't remember the reason why you wanted to do this but something in your heart told you to..or maybe it was your stomach.
Your were starving after all!
As you were skimming through random stuff on your laptop, you realized you got an email, so you opened it up.
Dear Y/n,
It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I hope you have been doing well! I sent you this email to invite you to a 10 year reunion for the Camp Campbell generation of year 20**. Please RSVP to this email before November 7th to say if your going or not and then I'll give you all the information.
-Thanks! David
"That name..it's so..familiar.." You mumbled to yourself, as you stared at the screen, tapping your finger to your chin.
Then, it all clicked in your head, "Wait, David?! From Camp Campbell?!"
You can hear Logan yell from his bedroom (that was next to yours), "Y/n! Keep it down, I'm trying to have my beauty sleep!"
"Sorry!" You called back and resorted to whispering your surprise.
"Ooh! I'm so excited! I'll get to see all my old buds!" You whisper-yelled.
You didn't remember half of their names, the ones popping up from the top of your head being Nikki and Neil.
There was one more person that finessed their way into your thoughts, but the memory was blurry, and you couldn't remember their name.
The only thing you could piece together to this mystery person was something you found the other day.
Something you didn't realize was important to you.
~Flashback~
You were cleaning through your closet since an avalanche had recently occurred in there.
As you were pulling out some things you forgot existed, you managed to find an old, faded, blue hoodie.
"Where the hell is this from??" You asked yourself as you examined the sweatshirt that was now way too small for you.
You slightly remembered someone giving it to you as a goodbye present, and that you cried into it..a lot.
You remembered crying into it for being sad about your parents divorce, people who used to be friends becoming ass-wipes to you, or just being sad in general.
You remembered that you cried into it over the person who gave it to you the most, since you must've missed them.
You decided to save it, just in case you and that person ever meet again.
~Flashback Over~
You quickly typed up a response and sent it to David immediately.
You smiled to the ceiling, excited to see all of your old friends again.

"Fuck You, Maxwell Diaz!"
"C'mon, Vanessa! I'm sorry!" Max called from his parent's front door.
"No, Max! I'm done with your bullshit! When are you actually going to get a fucking job?! Move out of your parent's place?! Do you really expect me to fall for the same sob story every time I ask you those questions?!" The tall, blonde shouted at him.
"I...*sigh*" Max had no idea what to say and silently watched her drive off.
He was upset that his now ex-girlfriend was gone, but was honestly kind of relieved, since she was needy and impatient when it came to his living situation.
Max climbed back upstairs to his room, ignoring his father's undying look of dissatisfaction to him.
He flopped onto his bed, sighing again.
Spartacus, the black Labrador puppy he found on the street as a stray, jumped onto his bed and laid next to Max, sensing him being upset.
"Spartacus, You're the only thing that loves me, Huh?" Max scratched behind his ear, where the dog liked to be pet most.
Max remembered when he found Spartacus.
-Flashback-
Max slowly walked down the sidewalk, his nose dripping blood onto the ground and his sweatshirt.
He knew that it was a stupid idea to picks fight with the biggest guy in his 12th grade class, but of course, he did it anyways and lost.
While he was walking, he noticed that there were three boys that looked like they were in 5th grade, huddled around and kicking at something.
Max got curious and decided to investigate.
Once the kids saw him coming, they all ran in different directions to reveal a little black dog, laying helplessly on the ground.
He ran over to it, making sure it was still alive.
Thankfully, it was but it was severely beaten up.
"Damn brats.." Max hissed as he picked up the bleeding dog.
Once he got home, he didn't want his parents to see the dog and make him get rid of it, so he put the dog in his backpack (leaving a small hole open with the zipper for fresh air) and as heavy as the dog was, he climbed up the tree and into his window.
He treated the dogs wounds to his best ability,.
He knew that if he could hide the dog in his room, his parents wouldn't find out, since they haven't been in his room for a year and he didn't see them coming in anytime soon.
Max decided to name him Spartacus, since the dog was strong and didn't attack Max once while he mended the dogs injuries.
Spartacus was the quietest dog Max ever seen, never barking once.
The dog miraculously knew how to hold in his waste (just like my old dog..🙏Coco😢) while Max was at school.
Once Max graduated, he was able to take Spartacus on as many walks as he wanted as long as Max wasn't at work.
Max's parents soon found out about Sparty (as Max liked to call him) and they said they wouldn't get rid of him as long as he stayed in Max's room.
-End of Flashback-
He picked his phone that was lying beside him with earbuds and popped them in, and put his playlist on shuffle, resulting in the song "Wake me up when September ends".
🎶PLAY SONG🎶
The song reminded him of the old, crappy summer camp he used to go to.
That immediately made him think of the friendships he left behind there, including one that he didn't remember most details about, but remembered there was a girl that he was really closer with her and was pretty sure her name was Y/n, or something, and that was all that remembered about her.
He did keep in touch with Neil, who he found over Facebook, and told him that Nikki was working at Camp Campbell, though nobody could get in contact with her.
Max realized that he had over 100+ emails unread, so he decided to take care of that.
The first one that he saw arrived 3 minutes ago, so he checked it out.
To Max,
Wow! Its been tough trying to find your contact, but thank gosh that Neil and you are still friends so I could get your email!
That "thank gosh" stopped Max in his tracks.
He instantly knew who it was; David, his old camp counselor from Camp Campbell.
He continued to read the email, wondering what it was about;
I am inviting you to a 10 year reunion to good ol' Camp Campbell! RSVP when you make your decision so I can give you all the details before November 7th.
Thank you!
-David
"Well shit," Max lifted his eyebrows in surprise.
He never expected to see anybody from that camp again after the last summer there.
Max was excited, typing up a response and sending it quickly.
He honestly hadn't seen Neil in person in a while and Nikki would definitely be there.
He wondered if that Y/n girl would be there.
He assumed it would he on November 8th or 9th, and that was in a week.
Max soon fell asleep with Spartacus on top of him, dreaming about the future.
———
Jaiden (Miller) Cordoroy sang her heart out on that stage, playing the keyboard with pure soul.
Once her and her band mates finally finished the last song for their tour, the crowd went wild, cheering and whistling and clapping just for them.
They all thanked the crowd for coming to the show and left the stage, concluding their tour for their newest album, "Preach to the world".
Jaiden was the main front girl and keyboardist for the punk-pop band "Axes And Dandelions".
As Jaiden wheeled to her dressing room, the bassist, who was also her husband, Lucas, complimented her playing, "Great Job, tonite, luv. Amazin' as always."
"Thanks, Lucas," Jaiden smiled.
Jaiden went in and took off her makeup, and changed into comfy clothes after a nice shower.
She checked through her emails as her hair dried.
Jaiden then found an email from David.
Once she read it, she squealed so loudly the whole band came running in, thinking she was being attacked or something.
"Guys, can I get a flight to New York State?" She asked them.
(That's the default state camp takes place in)
"Sure luv, but what for?" Lucas asked.
"I'm going to a 10 year reunion to that camp I told you about. I'll get to see Y/n! I wonder if her and Max will ever hook up again!"
Jaiden, in fact, remembered Y/n and Max's relationship.
The kiss made her fangirl so much, but feel bad for her friend since it hurt her so bad.
Jaiden was all the way in New Mexico, but she could definitely get a flight there before the 7th.
She already RSVP'd since she knew she had to go.
"Alright, it's done," Her agent, Ray, smiled.
Jaiden cheered, happy to see her old friends again.
———
Everyone got that email, and everyone RSVP'd saying that they'll go.
Naturally, this delighted David and Gwen.
So many things would come out of this meet up.
So many new friendships, hardships, and love.
So many new things to come from this destined meet.

How did you like this?
Also here's a little story about the song "Wake me up when September ends"
My brother (who's like 20 now) used to sing this as a kid, and then, I picked up on it after hearing it for the first time a week ago, and now, I can't get it out of my head.
It's funny because my mom says I'm a female copy of my bro, we even look alike and have the same personalities and likes (we both really love Rick and Morty and he lets me listen to Gorillaz in his car)
So yeah, that's it.
✌️
