Early homecoming

Cammie POV

"Cammie dear?" Grandma Morgan called up to me. I was in my bedroom on the Morgan Ranch in Nebraska it was three weeks and 2 days into summer vacation. Three weeks and 6 days since they left, but it wasn't them that I found myself thinking about when I was sitting, doing nothing; no it was him. I shook my head to escape that train of thought. I so have to get a hold on myself!

"Coming Grandma!" I called back and clicked on the internet icon on my laptop, I seriously needed to convince my grandparents to get a half decent internet server; dial up takes forever! By the time I finished whatever Grandma Morgan wanted me to do it might just have loaded up.

I ran down the stairs and found her sitting at the kitchen table "Sit down sweetie" she said. I sat. I was confused; we only sat down and talked to each other at mealtimes and in the first few days of my visit, so what was this about "you know that Grandpa hasn't been feeling too well. Well the cold is turning into a bad case of the flu." I knew that, so where was this going? "We don't want you to be sick when you are on vacation so we've called your mom and although she has a lot of work to do she says it would be better if you went back to the mansion."

"Okay" I said not being to bothered but I didn't need to be coddled "When do I leave?"

"Well your mom said to let you find a ticket online for as soon as possible."

"Okay, I started loading the internet just before I came down so if I spend ten minutes making a sandwich and another ten eating it, I'll only have to sit and wait for half an hour." I smiled and walked over to the fridge. Was that hint to obvious?

When I went back to my room, the internet had been loading for sixteen minutes and forty-seven seconds; it was only thirty-two percent loaded! I sat on my bed and fell backwards.

I don't know how long it was before I fell asleep but when I did I began, whether I wanted to or not, to dream...of him. We were sitting on a bench which was a quarter of a mile outside Roseville, on the road that leads to the Gallagher Academy. We weren't talking, we weren't even looking at each other but I was comfortable in the silence.

Well that wasn't normal for the two of us. I turned to face him, I opened my mouth to say something but he put his finger against my lips "Gallagher Girl, trust me." He looked serious but then he stood, pulled me to my feet and covered my eyes, automatically started to defend myself but he countered my first move, ruining my attempts at flipping him. He moved one of his hands so it covered both my eyes. He put his other arm around my waste and pulled me back into him, he lent down and whispered in my ear "Don't attack me, it'll ruin the whole thing" I could see him smirking even with my eyes covered and faceng the opposite direction. Inodded and we started to walk after three minutes and twelve seconds he stopped suddenly, I was so close to him that I felt his heart start to beat in panic!

I woke with a start, UGH! I HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!! I thought. I got up and walked over to the laptop the internet was loaded so I went to a search engine and typed last minute flights to Virginia. After looking at a few sites I found a cheap flight for the next evening. I called to Grandma Morgan and she said it was fine so I emailed the link to my mom. Eight minutes and twenty seconds later I got an email from mom saying the flight was booked and that she would see me soon. So I started packing.

The stuff I took with me to the ranch all fit in one backpack; I came every school break so I had clothes here, that task only took me three minutes. In twenty-nine hours I would be home that put a smile on my face.
