Hey guys. I'm back. My sister just discovered Princess Diary's fanfic, so now she can't make fun of me for reading fanfic. Except for I actually write stories. Thank you to the 4 reviews that I got. I don't know who wrote them, because I'm in Canada and don't have Wi-Fi. Oh, and the answer to whether or not I lived I Niagara Falls, its no, I've just always wanted to visit there. Can you believe that the Bill just beat the Patriots? Wow. Oh, just so you know, I love the Red-Sox. So, Disclaimer: I. Don't. Own. The. Gallagher. Girl. Series.
(Zach's POV)
3 years. It's been three years since I last saw Cammie. I wish she would come out of hiding already; the C.I.A. defeated the circle 2 ½ months after Cammie disappeared, so I can't say that she stayed in hiding because it's not safe. Maybe she doesn't know, maybe she doesn't actually care. I don't know, and right know, don't care either. I just need to find her. To know she's safe, to know that she just loves me, only me. That she never stopped. I need to hold her, to have her. We had been staying over night in a hotel in Ithaca, New York, when a piece of paper, that had said, in Cammie's messy script, "Don't worry about me. I'm okay, but it's not safe for me yet. I wish you would hate me; it would make this so much easier. Love you all, Cammie." If only she new that it was having the opposite effect.
Bex is the worst. She won't sleep, she won't eat, she spends all her time in the gym, witch is the only thing keeping her together, and alive. She has vowed to find Cammie. It's hard for Grant to seeing his wife in so much pain. Oh, yeah, Grant got married to Bex, Macey got married toPrestonand Jonas married Liz. Liz is a wreck, she is so tender right now, she burst into tears all the time, and only Jonas can calm her. Macey isn't Macey anymore. All her I don't care-ness and all her b****y-ness is gone and she is distant from everyone except forPreston. Mrs. Morgan never comes out of her room, but you can hear her crying. It makes Abby sad, and you can see she's worried for her niece. Mr. Solomon took over the position of Headmaster/ Headmistress. And me, well, I am not good. Not on the outside of course, on the outside I still wear my calm and level headed mask, and I'm just as cryptic, as long as it doesn't consist of Cammie's where abouts. On the inside though, I'm a mess. I'm pretty sure if inside me swapped places with outside me, I'd have dark circles under my eyes, I'd have lost a lot of weight, and I'd be a hollow empty shell of what I used to be. And, keep in mind; this is all because of Cammie. I thought that if she could see us now, she would come running back, because she just hates seeing her friends like that. But, instead, she just left a note to console us. That made Bex, Macey, and I angry, although I didn't show it. And Liz, well she and Mrs. Morgan just cried harder.
(Cammie's POV)
When I saw everyone, meaning Zach, Macey, Bex, Liz, Jonas,Preston, and Grant, they looked like a mess. I wanted to console them so badly, but because I was Alexandra Smith, and not Cameron Morgan, I couldn't. Or maybe I could. As I was walking past Zach, I slipped a note into his pocket. It told them that I loved them, not to worry, that it wasn't safe, and that I wished that they'd hate me, it would be easier. I wanted my mom to be happy, I wanted Zach to move on; as much as I didn't want him to, I wanted Bex, Macey, and Liz to forget about me. Because I had promised I would return when it was safe. But, it would never be safe. If I came back, I couldn't bear anyone getting hurt, especially me. To see there pained faces would be too much. I missed them, but Alexandra didn't care.
As I walked to my teaching job at the local Middle School, I thought about everything. The fact that the circle was gone, my dad was dead, I had my answers, my friends were safe, and I was safe. But, I knew that I hadn't run away because I would be safe and they would be safe, but because I was scared. That Zach would hate me, that Bex, Macey, or Liz would get hurt, and I'd cause it. That Abby, my mom, and Joe wouldn't forgive me. I knew that it wasn't true now, but maybe if I returned, it would be true. So, I coward behind Alexandra Smith, hoping she would save me from my undeniable fate.
So, what did you think? I want at least 1 review, so please be that one. PM me if you have any questions. I might only be able to update on Thursdays, so take that into consideration. So you know, do that really cool thing where you press the review button, write something positive, and then I can read it and be happy.
