Will love conquer all?

Cammie and Zach have been best friends for as long as she can remember, but will a traumatic event change everything?-R&R

Chapter 1

"Cammie!" Nick called out. I looked up, dazed. I was so out of it, daydreaming of what would later occur at Zach's place tonight. We were currently in third period, Mathematics. It was always quite boring and I'd always be on the edge of falling asleep.

"Yeah?" I say, managing to speak with my sore throat. Nick laughs as he rolls his eyes at my drowsiness.

"Wanna wake up a bit? Was curious if you wanted to go shopping with Macey and I, could really use someone there not so obsessed with clothing?" Nick says holding back a laugh.

Our current teacher was out of the classroom, printing off some copies of the homework I think he said, so really everyone was just talking to themselves which was of rare occurrence during mathematics class. I didn't enjoy mathematics very much, none of the girls were in and it was a pretty bland class, I only talked to Nick, but there's nothing like having the girls in your class. I looked around the room, the class was quite loud and rowdy, I wasn't complaining but it would sure enough echo out the corridor, and probably get one of the other teachers to come in and tell us off. But sure enough that hadn't happened yet, and I was glad.

"That sounds great. When?" I ask looking down at my watch, 1:00 only fifteen more minutes.

Nick looks at me and smiles. "Tomorrow, straight after school?" Nick replies, I nod willingly.

"Sounds great. Why are you doing Macey's dirty work though?" I ask stifling a laugh. Nick chuckles lightly "Well she's Miss Princess and can't be bothered doing it herself" Nick says in a Britain accent causing us both to burst out laughing. The bell rings suddenly as we both get up, carrying our books and head to the door. We went our separate ways to our lockers, and I see Zach waiting for me at my locker. "Hey Gallagher girl" Zach says smirking; I smile as I open my locker and put away my books. "Since when did I give you permission to call me that?" I ask as Zach smirks.

"Well I thought I was your best friend, so I could call you whatever?" Zach says as we head towards the cafeteria, I stifle a laugh. "And who said we were best friends?" I say jokingly, as Zach puts a hand on his chest pretending to be hurt. "I'm hurt Cammie" Zach says smirking as I laugh. My phone goes off, and I pull it out and answer it "Hello, its Cammie" I say trying to sound professional.

"Hey slut, I was just curious as to if you'd gotten into Zach's pants already? I mean have you looked at him? He's almost as big of a player as you are. I mean you have all the guys drooling to get in your pants, you filthy slut. Why don't you go back to your filthy job working as a prostitute? I mean you must be so good at that" Josh says over the phone, I hold back tears, thinking that we used to be an item. "Is that all you wanted to say?" I manage to say, trying to keep my confidence up, and not let him know how his words affected me. "No, that's all I wanted to say, whore" he remarks as I hang up the phone.

Zach had walked off while I was on the phone which I was grateful for. I head to the toilets; everyone must have flocked to the cafeteria, as there was nobody in the halls. When I get into the toilets I look in the mirror and have tears streaming down my face. I grab some toilet paper, and begin clearing my face, my mascara and eye liner had run. So I tried my best to clear it. But It was obvious I had been crying. His words begin running through my head.

Filthy slut. Whore. Prostitute.

I hold back my tears and head to the cafeteria; I needed some food and would go home for the day. I had no class last, so I wouldn't be skipping school. The gang was sitting in their usual spot, I look over them and give them a fake smile, and Zach gives me a look of worry. I grab some fries and salad from the cafeteria and take a seat next to Zach. Who looks at me in the eyes as does the rest of the group.

"What's wrong Cammie?" Bex asks looking worried, I shrug it off.

"Was reapplying my eyeliner, and got myself in the eye" I lied, biting my lip. They all nod in approval except Zach who seems more sceptical.

"So um, I don't have any class next so I'm going to head home" I say, trying to make it sound casual.

"You never go home normally on a Monday when you have no class last" Zach replies looking at me. I shrug "Just would like to be home" I say shrugging as the rest of the class nod. The group begin talking and I zone out completely and before I know it the bell goes. Bex, Macey, Liz, Jonas, Nick, and Grant head off, giving us both a wave as they leave.

"What's wrong?" Zach says looking into my eyes as I try to look away from him.

"Nothing, I told you I just got eye liner in my eye" I lie.

"Cammie, don't bullshit me. What's wrong" he asks, I shrug not wanting to tell him. Zach sighs, putting a hand through his hair. "Cammie, please" he says pleadingly.

"Josh rang me, okay?" I say raising my voice. Zach sighs again, and I just sigh, feeling like crying again. "I'm just going to head home, okay?" I say as Zach nods.

"And I'm coming too, I have no class last either, remember?" He says as we head out of the school grounds to his car. We carpool to school each day, usually I take Zach over, but today Zach drove me.

I sit in the passenger seat, and my phone beeps. New message.

Zach hops in the car and looks at me and puts an arm around me. "Do we need to get some items as well? Chocolate, ice-cream etc ?" Zach asks and I just smile.

"You know me too well Goode" I say letting out a laugh as I grab my phone out of my pocket.

Bitch, I need a fuck, I'll pay your sorry ass five dollars-J

I shiver and Zach looks over at me worryingly as he reverses back. He grabs my hand and lightly squeezes it. I can feel my eyes watering again, and I know I don't want to cry in front of Zach. He looks at me worryingly. "I want full details when we get to my place" he says squeezing my hand harder as I nod. I put my head against Zach's shoulder and he just smiles. Zach parks the car at the grocery store and takes his seatbelt off. But before he gets out, he kisses my forehead.

"No more crying, at least til I get back" he says, I nod as he closes the door and heads off to the supermarket
