Author's note: This is my first Gallagher girl fanfiction. This is a oneshot based on zach's pov and intend to post some more oneshots. Please read and review and even give me some ideas.

DIFFERENT

The sun was glowing but it didn't fill me with the happiness it usually does to others. Anyways my life hadn't been of happiness for a long time and lately it was even worse. It was almost October but it still felt like I was stuck in the start of June. The summer brings out memories, memories without her, her being out somewhere, somewhere which could very much be with the circle.

It had been another one of those sleepless nights of roaming the empty corridors expecting to see her sleeping in one of the secret passageways, wanting her to crawl out and say that she was just hiding in her passageways resting and was safe. But it was too long for it to be a joke and she knows too well what the consequences of such jokes are.

The hallways were filled with swarms of girls on their way to breakfast. I had initially stepped out to go there myself but my legs were now leading me on another path.

"Don't do this."

It was Bex. I just sighed and stopped, but didn't turn. Her hand came to rest on my shoulder.

"At least eat something", she whispered.

"Have you?" she didn't answer and I didn't need to look at her to know that she hadn't.

"We can go together"

And like we had been doing since days we went together to breakfast. We were almost in the hall when,

"Zach! Bex!", it was Liz.

Both of us turned. She was panting trying to catch her breath. "It's Cammie, she called." Her face was shining with joy, Macey came behind her equally happy.

My heart literally stopped.

"Where is she? Is she okay? I'm going wherever she is and-"

"Zach", Macey said, "Headmistress Morgan is bringing her back. She is in the Alps and is safe. But…"

"What is it?" Bex almost shouted.

Liz bit her lip and said, "She doesn't remember, the only thing she remembers after leaving Gallagher is waking up in the Alps today in some convent."

But I didn't care. She was safe and alive. Cammie was coming back.

My Gallagher girl was coming back.

-x-x-x-

It was almost the end of classes when she came. The girls had went to see her but I stayed back I wanted our union to be secret. Because I don't know whatever I might say when I see her.

It was still hard to believe that she was back. After 3 months of being away she was back, alive and safe.

They said she was going to be debriefed. Instead of going to find her I just waited for her to find me. Because I don't think I will ever get ready to see her.

But it was too early that she found me. I was alone until she turned the corner and stood there, frail and vulnerable.

I tried to make myself believe that it was indeed her and not a figment of my imagination as I touched her arm slightly afraid that she might disappear with my touch. She closed her eyes and eased closer.

"Zach" she said "What are you doing here? Are you…? Is it…?"

Her voice, how much had I wanted to hear it, hear her say my name.

"You're here!"

She was here.

"Funny, I was about to say the same about you."

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

She doesn't know.

"I sort of…go…here now."

"You do?" she asked and nodded. As if she was collecting to thoughts.

My hand reached to her hair now. It was short and different. Someone called her. But I didn't move nor did she.

"How…are you?" she asked.

Her hair was dyed. "It's different" I said.

But then I realized it was not only her hair , it was her. She was the one who was different. So I said, "It's different now."

Everything is different now.
