Stay With Me

Our favorite gang, with their life sprawled out in songs. "I think I love you." "But no more secrets." "It should all be perfect. But it isn't." "Am...am I dead?"

Chapter 1

[Secrets by One Republic]

"Cammie, c'mon." I pleaded with her. She has to believe me.

"No. You never told me she was your mother," she said with disgust dripping off her voice. I couldn't blame her. I hated my mother too. She was an evil - let's stop there.

"Gallagher Girl, you have to believe me. I was only doing this for your protection. I promise you. I would never, ever lie to you about something like this." I told her. I was telling the truth. But I had no idea if she could tell.

"Why should I believe you?" she spat. She was hurt. She was scarred. And it was my fault. Or maybe, it was Ms. Goode's fault. I hate that woman.

"Cam, please. I-I," I begged her. I can't say it. It was true, but then again, I was never one for feelings. I never wanted to admit it. I never have felt this way before, as cliché as that sounds.

I was Zach. I was a spy. I didn't fall in love.

But of course, Cameron Morgan just had to come in and break that rule. Go figure.

But I need Cammie. I needed her with everything I had. I wanted her, but it was more than that. I needed her.

If I told her I loved her, would she say it back? I'm just going to have to take the chance.

"Cammie, I, I love you." She looked at me. A small half smile appeared on her face.

"I love you too, Zach." And I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding.

"But no more secrets." She warned. I nodded.

I'll give away all my secrets for that girl. That's a lot of secrets, but she's not just any girl.

She's my Gallagher Girl.
