A/N: This story takes place sometime after they have all graduated, I'm not sure the exact time. I don't own the characters, owned by Ally Carter, or the song, owned by Taylor Swift. Please read and let me know what you think!
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
"Zach, please," I reached toward him. "You don't have to do it. It will all be okay. Everything will be fine…" But it was too late. He was already turning away, leaving. Already gone.
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
I glance out past the trees, seeing past the back yards and the fences. I look up at the sky.
He was here.
My mind flashes back to a distant time, a far away place.
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
"How could you do this?" Zach glared at me.
Oh, holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold
Suddenly, his eyes change, no more is the anger, the hate. Instead it's pain, they're cold.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
"Zach, I didn't! Nothing happened. I would never betray you. Please, trust me."
"I don't know if I can anymore Cameron." He turned toward me.
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
"Fine then, don't. But please, please don't go. Don't go on that mission. I don't know what I'd do…" Before I finished, he leaned forward, and gently kissed me on my cheek.
"Goodbye Cam."
"Zach, please," I reached toward him. "You don't have to do it. It will all be okay. Everything will be fine…" But it was too late. He was already turning away, leaving. Already gone.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now
I'm haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
The whole time he has been gone, I haven't heard one thing. The most I have is one letter, one single note, from just after he left: I forgive you, my Gallagher Girl.
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
"Cammie, let him go. Zach's gone."
"I can't Josh. I'm sorry," I stepped away from his outstretched arm. "I just can't."
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Oh, holding my breath
I know you're out there.
Won't see you again
Please come home.
Something keeps me holding on to nothing
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
I look up at the blanket of unwavering stars.
Something's gone terrible wrong
It hit me then, a feeling in the pit of my stomach; something happened, something's wrong.
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
The tears won't stop now. They streak down my face in an unending rain.
Can't turn back
I'm haunted
I close my eyes and his face is there. His beautiful eyes and that unnerving smirk. He seems so close I can almost touch him, feel him.
I know
I know
I just know
I breathe in and I can smell him.
You're not gone
You can't be gone
No
I open my eyes.
He's not there. I'm still standing all alone in my backyard. The wind gently blowing my hair across my face.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
I remember the last time I heard his voice, "Cam."
Something's gone terribly wrong
I gasp. His voice sounded so near. So close.
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
I sigh. One last look up at the stars.
"Please, Zach. Where ever you are, know that I am sorry. And that I will forever love you."
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
I can't go back
I'm haunted
I climb the stairs to my back door, finally ready to the ghost of Zachary Goode behind me.
You and I walk a fragile line
As I close the back door and turn the locks, I glance at a picture on the wall.
I have know it all this time
It was of Zach and me at my graduation from the Academy. We had our arms wrapped around each other, glorious smiles on both of our faces. I had on the necklace he had just given me, the back of the pendant was inscribed -Forever my Gallagher Girl. Always, Z.
Never ever thought I'd see it break
My fingers found that very necklace still around my neck.
A knock at the front door startled me from my dream.
Never thought I'd see it
As I opened the door, a small gasp escaped my mouth.
"Cam..."
