Chapter One: Goode-bye

Zach rapped lightly on the white wood door. He wasn't sure what he was doing here. He'd already said 'goodbye' to Cammie, but he was worried. She was leaving the next day for her very top-secret very dangerous mission and he didn't want her to go. Although they were still at an awkward stage in their relationship he just couldn't let her leave. He couldn't watch her walk out that door for, possibly, the last time.

It took about a minute (exactly 46.7 seconds) for her to open the door. He was second-guessing himself when that happened. Wondering, why exactly, he was acting like a lovesick lunatic. Even though he knew he was in love with her, he still couldn't bring himself to admit it. They'd never really been 'official', but the guys at the agency knew to stay away from Cammie Morgan because if they even looked at her they might just wake up on an island un-inhabited by humans.

She was very slow opening the door, or at least it seemed like she was, maybe it was just Zach's mind playing tricks on him. As soon as she opened the door all doubts left his mind (as cheesy as that sounded). Her long dirty blonde hair hanging around her shoulders in its natural curls. Her ever-changing eyes were currently a dark green, telling him she was nervous. She was dressed simply in just a pair of exercise shorts and a cami. But she still looked beautiful.

"Zach?" She frowned at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh…" He didn't know how to answer that seeing as he didn't even know why he was there. "Well…"

She frowned at him, but opened the door a bit wider. "You wanna come in?"

"Sure." He sighed and walked into her small cozy apartment. He remembered helping her paint the place. She'd changed her mind about the color so many times Zach almost gave up on her ever deciding, but he thought that the sea-blue was perfect.

"So… what's up?" She asked slowly.

"I just… wanted to wish you good luck on your mission." Zach said quickly. Cammie raised her eyebrows, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Thanks." She continued starring him, making Zach a bit uncomfortable (although he didn't show it). "Is that all or..."

"No, well… I don't know." He sighed, running a hand through his already messy hair in frustration.

"Zach?" Cammie took a small step toward him, trying to catch his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Gallagher Girl." He smirked slightly, or attempted to, but it obviously didn't fool Cammie.

"That's bull." She stated bluntly, crossing her arms over her chest. "What's wrong?" She repeated.

"I just… wanted to make sure you were okay?" It came out in the form of a question and he didn't understand why it was so hard to lie to her now a days.

She smiled. "Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?"

"Just with the big mission and… you know it's dangerous…" A dawning expression came over her face.

"You're worried about me-."

"What? No. Pfft-."

"Aw, that is so cute." A grin came across Cammie's face as she stepped closer to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest.

Zach sighed and wrapped his arms around her as well, his face surrounded by her vanilla-scented hair. Zach had never been one to be touchy-feely and he didn't often show his emotions, but he supposed he didn't mind this, having Cammie wrapped in his arms, the only smell surrounding him being vanilla.

"Admit it." Cammie murmured. "You're worried about me."

Zach stifled an annoyed sigh. "No I'm not." He said stubbornly.

Cammie pulled away slightly, but couldn't all the way because of Zach's death grip. "Za-ach." She sing-songed. "Pl-l-l-lease admit it?" Her eyes got real wide and her bottom lip jutted out. She was too good at that for her own good, it shouldn't be aloud, Zach mused.

He groaned. "Fine, maybe just a bit."

Cammie smiled triumphantly. "I knew it!"

"Congratulations Gallagher Girl." Zach said sarcastically. Cammie smacked his arm.

"As much as I love you being an ass, I have to finish packing." She glanced at her bedroom, her clothes covered bed visible.

"I'm sure you can spare a bit of your time." Zach grinned, pulling her up against his body, his arms around her hips. Their foreheads were touching and Cammie's hands were rested gently on his shoulders.

Cammie smiled slightly. "Maybe just a bit." And just like that he kissed her. He wasn't sure how long they stood there, well he knew subconsciously, but he didn't pay that any attention because all that mattered was Cammie. Her right hand was on the back of his neck, her left in his hair. His left hand was in her curls and his right was cupping her cheek.

She pulled back much too soon for Zach's liking. "I really do have to pack." Both of their breathing slowly began returning to normal.

"Oh come on Gallagher Girl. Stay with me?" He tugged on her hand, pulling her toward the couch. She bit her lip, but slowly followed him, curling up next to him after her sat. His arm was wrapped around her waist and her legs were over his lap, her head leaning against his chest. There was silence for a few minutes (3 minutes and 7.9 seconds) before Cammie broke it.

"I'm scared Zach." Zach pulled back just a bit so he could see her face. She was nibbling on her bottom lip and her eyes were downcast as if ashamed that she'd actually admitted it.

"Hey," Zach's fingers brushed against Cammie's cheek slightly. "It'll be okay. If anyone can do it you can." She finally met his gaze.

"But I don't know-."

"You've got this Cammie." There was no room for her to argue, he said it with such force that meant that she had to believe him. "Besides," she raised her eyes again, hers locking with his again. "I highly doubt that Bex would let you bomb this."

Cammie giggled, relief flooding Zach's eyes when she did.

"Thanks Zach." She said softly as she put her head back on his chest. "I guess I'm being silly."

"Yeah," Zach absentmindedly ran his hand through Cammie's hair, hoping that what he said was true. He knew that if anyone could do the mission Cammie could, but that didn't make him any less worried. He heard her breathing even out and he gently pressed a kiss to Cammie's head. He slowly murmured the words he didn't have the courage to say to her face when she was awake, "I love you Cammie."

Of course he wasn't expecting her to respond. "I love you too Zach." His eyes widened in shock, but he couldn't really concentrate on that seeing as she snuggled closer to him, a faint smile playing on her lips.

They both slowly fell asleep, not anticipating the loud knocking on Cammie's door, telling her that it was time to go. Or the hurried packing and quick kiss and soft murmurs of "I love you" and "Be safe".

Zach certainly didn't anticipate the sinking feeling he felt as he watched the girl he loved slowly walk away, it maybe being the last time he'd ever see her.

A/N: Wow! Hope you liked it! This will be a two, maybe three-shot! Thoughts?

Love Forever and For Always
