Idk I wrote this is in the middle of the night a while back and recently found it in the depths of my computer so hey, why not share it with you guys? :))

My eyes flew open to the sound of creaking floorboards. I bolted upright ready to tackle whoever dared enter my room in the middle of the night. I was disoriented with sleep, and my eyes had yet to adjust to the darkness of the room.
"Cammie?" Zach's voice came from the shadows.
I immediately relaxed, flopping back down onto the bed with a grunt. "What are you doing in here? It's the middle of the night!"
"I know." He moved to sit on the bed next to me. "I just wanted to see you. I..." he trailed off. I couldn't see his face in the darkness, but his voice sounded strained. It wasn't often Zach struggled to find the words he wanted. Finally he said, "I don't like being away from you. Not even for a small amount of time."
"Zach..." I didn't know what to say. I knew he had gone out of his mind when I was missing. And I wished I could do something to stop him hurting. I hated to be the one responsible. I reached for his hand and laced my fingers through his.
The bed shifted as he lay down next to me. "I can't lose you. Not again."
I curled into Zach, half hugging him, half giving him a dead arm. But he didn't seem to mind. I didn't realise I was crying until I noticed I'd left damp splotches on his shirt. I sniffled. "I'm not going anywhere. Not intentionally anyway."
"I know. It's the unintentionally I'm afraid of."
"You're afraid? You think they're coming for us?" I looked up at his face, into his eyes. They looked sad.
"We wouldn't be holed up in a hotel, all but on the run, if they weren't." He was right. I knew he was right. I kissed him. "What was that for?"
"They could find us at any moment," I whispered. "This could be all we have."
I kissed him again, longer this time, snaking my hands up to wind into his hair as he kissed me back. His hands went around my waist, pulling me closer to him. And in that moment I wanted nothing more. I wanted to feel all of him. I wanted to melt and drown in his kisses until there was nothing left.
"Gallagher Girl," he breathed. "I love you."
My whole world spun and danced and something like fireworks went off inside my brain. He loved me. Of course, I knew it already. But to hear him say it out loud was... beautiful.
"I love you, Zach"
He smiled, and I swear it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. And then we were kissing again. More frantically. More desperately. As if we could never get enough of each other. Somehow, we rolled to the side, and then Zach was on top of me, pressing against me from head to toe. I had never been happier.
It could have been hours, or it could have been minutes, but as we lay there kissing every inch we could reach, it couldn't have been more perfect. My hands crept under his shirt and then he was tugging it over his head, my fingers running along the smooth lines of his muscles. I felt his cool hands on the bare skin at my waist, and then I was pulling off my shirt too, kissing him harder as I felt the thrill of more skin on skin contact.
He broke away gasping for breath. "Cammie, are you-?"
"Shush." I put my finger over his lips. "We have to love each other while we have the chance. I want to. I want you."
The light in his eyes was dazzling. "I love you," he whispered as he kissed me. Over and over. "I love you. I love you. I love you." And I was lost.
