Hurry Up and Save Me
Zach's POV
"You'll never understand!" Cammie shouted at me. "No one ever will! God, you're so...you're so full of yourself!"
"I'm full of myself? I'm not the one walking around thinking that I'm the best spy there is!" I shouted back at her. She stared at me. "Yeah, I noticed. You and your friends walk around like you know everything and that you're better than everyone else."
"We do not!" she argued. I snorted. "You're the one who always said that you were too good for me, you were the one who snuck around behind my back!"
"I was protecting you! If I hadn't been there when you-" she cut me off, which really pissed me off.
"When I what? When I tried to save my aunt and friends? Sorry, Zach, but I believe that's what you're supposed to do, look out for your loved one's, unlike you. What's all this about, Zach? Why the sudden anger?" she demanded. I just shrugged her off and crossed the room so I was standing in front of her.
"I'm not angry because of you. I'm angry because of my parents," I said, not even noticing that I held her by the throat. Her eyes widened.
"Zach, please," she begged. I released her throat and stepped back. "You don't have to do anything because of your-" She collapsed on the floor, her eyes rolled back into her head. I stared at her. Had I hit her?
I knelt next to her and felt for a pulse. Good, she wasn't dead. I looked around the room and saw my mom in the shadows. She stepped out of them and next to me.
"Leave her, Zachary," she said in a low voice. I simply glared at her. "It'll make things easier."
"Just because you don't like her, Mom, doesn't mean she deserves to die," I said and started to pick Cammie up, but Mom forced me down on my knees.
"Kill her," she breathed. I struggled under her grasp. "Now!"
"No," I said and managed to push her off. She slammed into the wall and I picked Cammie up before she could move.
I ran with Cammie out of the building and laid her gently in the back seat of my car. I ran to the driver's side as Mom came out of the building and thrust the car into gear before speeding away. Where was I going to take her?
I ended up at a hospital and made some phony story up about rock climbing or something like that. I just said the first thing that came to mind and then started pacing as they did whatever the hell they had to do with her.
"Does she have any relatives around here?" the nurse asked. I looked up at her. Should I tell her about Cammie's mom?
"Yeah, her mom lives about twenty minutes away," I said finally. She nodded.
"Why don't you call her?" she asked. I nodded and went outside. I called her mom and left a message on the machine before going back in.
"Take care of her, will yah?" I asked. She nodded.
"We'll do everything we can, honey," she said. I nodded and pulled my hoodie on before walking out the front door.
