Next Chapter update is on Saturday 11th June. (Basically a Saturday upload)
Zach's POV
'Where's Cammie?' Joe asked
'She's sitting on the porch step.' Bex said 'Do you want me to get her?' She started to get up.
'No, I'll go' He said, he left the room.
'Do you think she's okay?' Macey asked
'I think it's just hard for her to see this place empty' I respond
'It is, Cammie loved it here' Liz added.
'Dinner's in 5' Rachel said, before walking off upstairs. The rest of us sat watching television in the front room when we heard a roar of an engine come closer. Bex and i immediately looked at each other and walked outside. Joe and Cammie were staring at the noise, he stood slightly in front of her, I quickly stood by her, placing my hand on the small of her back. The noise grew louder. The car came closer. It stopped. Two figures emerged.
'Hey Cameroney!' The slightly shorter figure said
'Jay!' Cammie shouted, she started running towards the figure and leaping into his arms, they started twirling around and laughing. They seemed friendly. A little too friendly for me. 'What are you doing here?' She said once he put her down
'Abby said that you would be up here this weekend. She invited us to come up. I'm sorry to hear about Mr Morgan.' I still couldn't see his face
'Thanks' She mumbled
'Well isn't little Cameron Morgan, not so little anymore' The other figure said.
'Hello Arthur' Cammie hugged him
'Karlton. We weren't expecting you' Joe said coming down to greet the unexpected guests, he shook Arthur's hand.
'Abby invited us, is she here?'
'No she should be here tomorrow. Why don't you come inside, Rachel would love to see you'
'Yeah, we'll leave the lovebirds to reunite.' Arthur turned his attention towards Cammie and the other boy. 'How long have you been together? Must be what...nearly 8 years?' Cammie physically tensed. My hands formed fists at my side. Cammie looked at all of us in turn with complete horror on her face. I slipped my mask back on. The mask that Blackthorne and my mother built, the mask that Cammie always managed to knock down.
'Something like that' He said.
'Well I assume you have catching up to do.' Arthur said walking towards the house and straight past me and Bex. Joe lingered for a moment before following suit. He gave me and Bex a cautious look. I diverted my attention back to Cammie just in time to see her give Jay an almighty slap across his face
'YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD HIM?!'
'Cam I haven't had a good opportunity' he said rubbing his face
'BULLSHIT! You've had 8 years to tell him.'
'Cam it's not that easy. Please, just pretend for a couple of days'
'It's not me you have to convince. It's them' Cammie pointed at us.
'You haven't told them, have you?' He asked
'No! Because honestly, I thought that if we saw each other again, you would have grown a backbone and told your father the truth. I didn't think this lie would go on for 8 years Jay!' she took a step towards him 'You need to fix this or I will'. She then hurried inside the house, not looking at us. My gaze was fixed on the other boy. He picked a bag out of the car and walked towards us. He stopped when he saw us staring.
'You must be Cammie's friends.' He extended his hand 'I'm Jason Karlton, pleasure to meet you' I stood still. Bex beamed a fixed smile and accepted his hand
'I don't know what you're up to, but I will not hesitate to kill you' Her grip tightened, she released, stepped back allowing him to step inside the house. She then turned to me
'Did you know about him?' I hiss
'Hell no! I thought you did!' She said defensively
'You're her best friend!' I say
'And you're her boyfriend!' She retorted
'Touche' I admit. She sighed heavily. 'We better get inside and tell the others'
'I'M SORRY, WHO AND WHO?!' Macey's scream came from inside the house
'I think they already know' Bex said before opening the door.
We walked in and saw Jason sitting nervously on the edge of a sofa. Everyone else was on the opposite sofa leaning towards him. Macey had an evil smile on her face. Cammie came out of the study with Joe, he had a worried expression on his face. Macey jumped up and looked at Cammie.
'Cameron, it's rude not to introduce us to your guests?' She smiled evilly. Cammie looked pissed.
'Dinner's ready' Rachel said. Cammie and Macey stood staring at each other. Joe whispered something into Cammie's ear. She nodded and walked into the kitchen.
'McHenry, help the others set the table' Joe said. Her smile didn't waver.
'Gladly' She then moved over to help Liz set the table.
We all sat around the table. At the head of the table was Rachel, either side of her was Joe and Arthur, Jason sat on the other side of him. Next to Joe was Cammie, Bex and Liz sat next to her. Macey sat next to Jason (which caused Cammie and Nick to glare at her constantly), Jonas sat opposite liz and Grant and I sat on the end. (IF YOU'RE CONFUSED, I'LL TRY AND DRAW AN EXPLANATION)
Joe...Cammie...Bex...Liz...Nick
Rachel... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Zach
Arthur...Jason...Macey...Jonas...Grant
(HOPE THIS HELPS :D)
The adults were talking about work, Macey was talking to Jason. Cammie was avoiding eye contact with everyone.
'So Jason, where did you go to school?' Macey asked.
'EdgeMount' He said proudly, Grant snorted. 'What's that suppose to mean?' He said
'EdgeMount the school for pompous smugs who worship the FBI' Grant mocked.
'97% of their graduates end up going to the FBI or Interpol' Jonas chimed in.
'What about the other three percent?' Macey enquired
'They're dead' Jason muttered. Arthur cleared his throat.
'So Cameron, the offer still stands' She looked up at him from pushing her food around the plate
'And again I'm saying no.'
'Sorry to be nosey, but what offer?' Macey asked, she got a glare from Cammie and Joe.
'The FBI has been very interested in Cameron' He turned his attention to Cammie 'They've now offered you triple what the CIA are paying you'
'My answer is still no' she said firmer
'Come on Cameron, this offer is amazing! You were the best in the trials!'
'You took part in trials?' I looked at her, she gave a quick glance at me
'Yes'
'And she was unbelievable! The best agent the FBI's ever seen!' Arthur said
'She's the best the CIA's ever seen' I add, Arthur turned his attention to me for the first time, Rachel, Joe and Cammie gave me warning looks. I leant back in my chair casually.
'I'm sorry boy, but who are you?'
'I'm Zachary Goode'
'GOODE?' Arthur shouted 'AS IN-
'Arthur, Rachel and I need to speak to you in the office' The adults stood up and left the room. Silence passed us before Jason spoke up
'Cam, why didn't you tell me?' Jason whispered to Cammie
'It was none of your business' She responded through gritted teeth.
'Cam, you know what she did to-' Jason began. Cammie shot up out of her chair
'YES I FUCKING KNOW WHAT SHE DID! I RELIVE IT EVERY DAMN TIME I CLOSE MY EYES JASON! BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH BECAUSE YOU'RE TO MUCH OF A GOD DAMN COWARD TO TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH' She exploded
'Cam she tortured you' Jason said calmly
'THANKS FOR REMINDING ME! You don't know what it's like to have those images replayed in your head every. Fucking. Second. Of. every. Fucking. Day.' Jason stood up
'I do. I know what it was like when my mom came back from her missions, hearing her cry herself to sleep every night. See her brand a knife or a gun at any slight movement. You don't know what it's like to have a parent point a gun at you, cry when she realised who it actually was, then turn the gun on herself and pull the trigger. If you think I don't know, well I do Cam. I do.' His voice didn't break, he stood there emotionless as Cammie's anger disappeared from her face.
'I need some air' She said before hastily leaving through the front door. Silence engulfed us
Author's note: Hello everybody! The reviews so far for the first chapter have been amazing! I've seen some familiar...faces?...screen names?..Idk...but anyway thank you for loving this story as much as I've loved brainstorming it! See you next Saturday xxx
Marvel GG: Aw thank you! If I ever become a writer, don't worry I'll make sure you all know what happens...I may or may not be writing my own story...but as a true Gallagher Girl...I'll deny everything. I'm glad you enjoy all three stories, the Heist Society series is A LOT harder to write about compared to GG, I think it's because I can imagine myself as Cammie more than I can Kat. But I won't give up, and neither should you! #LifeAdvise xxx
Embers and Spies: Thank you so much! I hope to keep writing, but judging by these lovely comments, everyone is enjoying it, so I'll keep writing! The love triangle becomes a whole lotta complicated in the next chapter! (But you didn't hear it from me!) xxx
AllyCarterFan: Trouble should be my middle name. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on both stories, hopefully both are up to par! All my stories will have the same cover of the sky on so you'll be able to tell when I release furture stories (stay tuned). I've written a couple of chapters already, and it gets juicy!xxx
MusicManipulator: First of all, I love your name! Thank you so much! xxx
