I don't have an update schedule, I guess whenever. Enjoy!
Zach's POV
My nose really does hurt but I couldn't show that to Cammie. When Gallagher Girl went to the infirmary, I went to visit Joe. He was in a room off a secret passage way.
"She's back Joe, Cam is safe." Shit someone is here. I look around the corner to she Ms. Morgan sitting on the bed. "She's alive, thanks to you. You trained her so well. So did Matt and I think she learned a few things on her own or from Zach but you trained him too." she gave a light chuckle and turn back to look at me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." I started to back out.
"It's alright. Come join me."
I pulled up the chair next to the bed and looked at him. He was healing well but he was still too lifeless for mine or anyone here's liking. Joseph Solomon is a living legend. Living being the key word.
"Your eye looks pretty bad." said while getting up and handing me an ice pack from the fridge I didn't notice. "She has always been stronger than she thought. In her second year here she gave Abby a run for her money for eating her m&ms. She is just like Matt with her sweets, remember Joe, how Matt was? Remember that mission in Sweden, when Matt found that cute little candy shop, family owned? What was the name? You would remember. We stayed up all night to write the report and ended up covering it in chocolate." Ms. Morgan was trying to get him to wake up, I know cause I do the same thing. Taunting him to wake up proved facts, correct us or to even yell at us. "You are a lot like him, you know that right Zach? How you both care for the people you love and always protecting them. I see a lot of Joe in you and that is why I'm so glad Cammie has found you." She was looking at me like how a mother would look at her son, I would know right. I gave a little chuckle.
"Done a pretty shit job doing that. Cammie ran away because I put the idea in her head. I should have known she would have left without anyone, without me, I should have been there to help her and now look at her. My mother tortured her almost killing her. It is all my fault. You should be repulsed at the idea of me going anywhere near your students let alone your daughter!" Now, do I know where that came from? No. Do I know why I said them? No. Do I know I'm crying? Not until Ms. Morgan gave me a tissue. "Thank you, Ms. Morgan." I started to wipe my eyes.
"You're right, any sane normal mother would never let a potential threat go near her daughter but we are not normal nor are you any threat. You are not your mother. I can tell you love my daughter but you don't think you deserve her which makes you more like Joe." she started to walk out of the room but turned around at the last second and said "Call me Rachel." Then it was just me, my thoughts, and an unconscious Joe.
I turn back to Joe, "I could really use some advice right now!" nothing, "Some words of wisdom?" nothing, "Is this you admitting you are not really 'wise guy'? Abby would have a field day." still nothing. "I really do love her. Should I tell or is it too soon seeing as she just got back from being tortured and all? Tortured. I broke our promise, I am truly sorry this time. You know what Joe, I'm not going to let anything happen to her again, I love her and I'm going to tell her. I probably don't deserve a second chance but what are you going to do, you're in a coma." I laughed and walked out making my way to the infirmary.
As I got near the infirmary I saw Macey leave, good she'll be alone. I find her room and walk in, "How are you feeling?"
"Nothing too bad, just a fractured ankle and an concussion." Damn she is lucky but at least I know they need her alive cause my mother never takes it easy on her victims.
"No, I mean how are you feeling?" I sat on the edge of her bed, being extra careful not to hurt her.
She started to unhook herself from the machines, which she isn't suppose to do and I pushed down the urge to stop her. "I was captured by the Circle I don't know how many times, I can't remember my summer, Mr. Solomon is still in a coma and I feel weak. Part of me doesn't want him to wake up, I'll just disappoint him, I'm not good enough I just got lucky." She sighed and I could tell she was holding back tears, she can't be serious, can she? I pulled her up and put my arms around her waist and her circled around my neck and started to dance with her and almost immediately her frown was replaced with a smile as she laughed, "What are you doing?" I didn't even know how much I missed her laugh until now.
"Dancing." I thought it was a smart response as I smirked.
"Well I got that but why?" I could feel her forever changing eyes stare into my emerald ones.
"To distract you from those negative thoughts. Cam, you are good enough, you're one of the best spies I know. I know Joe, he won't be disappointed just glad you are okay, so am I." I looked down searching for any hint on how she feels about me in her eyes. She rest her head on my chest and I pray for my heart to slow down. To have her in my arms again and know she is safe is the best thing and I wish we could stay like this. Where we don't have to go to the Grand Hall or to join her friends, we can just lock ourselves away from the world, away from her. I put my head on hers pulling her closer to close the non existent space between us. I moved her face to look at mine as I leaned down to kiss her, I put all of my feelings into it and she starts to kiss be back with just as much. This is the perfect time to tell her.
She pulled back a little ending the kiss way too soon for my liking and whispered "Preston." My heart felt like it was ripped from my chest. I stumbled back a little.
My eyes filled with rage, why on earth would she say that? Can't she tell how I feel about her? "Should I be worried or pissed that you just said another guys name because I'm leaning more towards pissed." It came out as a growl. Her eyes widen, probably realizing her mistake. Please let me be wrong. "Cammie! Answer me, what is going on?" I tried to sound calm but I couldn't. I just couldn't, this is the love of my life I'm risking.
"No. Nothing happen, I don't know. I need to find Macey." Before I could even respond she ran out of the room clearly forgetting the pain in her ankle. I was still processing it all when the doctor came back into the room with her medicine, "Where did she go?"
"Oh um, she had to go talk to her mother but I can take it to her." She handed me the medicine hesitantly. I walked out of the room think of whats going on. I know I should go after and find Cammie and try to fix this but she needs to talk to Macey (how could she do this to Macey?) and I needed time to think. Ms. Morgan was wrong, her friends were wrong, Joe was wrong, they all told me Cam cares and likes me. I was right she couldn't love me. If I'm not like my mother now I will be in the future, it's genetic. I was nearing her room, I could easily poison her medicine that way at least Catherine would be happy maybe even proud of me. But no, I told Joe I would never hurt her, I will protect her even if she doesn't love me. I tie her medication around her door nob and walk to a secret passage way, not realizing it the one Cammie showed me. I sit in the corner and doused off.
About an hour(1 hour, 13 minutes, and 47 seconds) later I wake up to footsteps outside. Some of the girls are coming back now. I walked to the teacher's wing which currently occupies Jonas, Grant, and I's room that we share. I walk in to see them talking with Bex and Liz, Cammie's friends. Damn, I can't stop thinking about her, she won't leave my head, well she was always stubborn. The girls give a small smile, wave and leave the room. Oh just because Cammie cheated on me they think I want their sympathy? Wrong! I turn towards my friends "What's going on?"
"Nothing, man. What's up with you?" Grant replied.
"Nothing, just getting ready for the Welcome Back dinner." I gave them a strange look.
"Okay I not beating around the bush, what the heck happen between you and Cam?" Grant asked rather bluntly, Jonas hitting him.
"I suspect she cheated on me over the summer with Preston." I shrugged acting like no big deal but truly I was dying inside.
"Why would you think that? One she wasn't herself and still really isn't herself, second she may not have even been with him over the summer. So get more facts before you jump to conclusions and hurt her." Jonas said before storming into the bathroom. The dinner was in a few(3) hours, so I decided to take a nap then talk to Cammie after dinner.
(Time skip to Welcome Back dinner)
Grant, Jonas, and I walk to the Grand Hall seeing the girls are already there. We sat down with them, I sat across from Gallagher Girl. She was talking to Bex about something but stop when I sat down, "What's the big secret?" I asked only joking but the blush on Liz's face told me otherwise. What could they be hiding from me? Is Cam actually braking up with me? "Gallagher Girl, can I talk to you after dinner?"
Macey interrupted "She hanging with us, girls night in the common room. It's tradition."
I turn back to Cam, "Okay, how about now?" I stand up, "It's important."
Liz this time responds "Zach, Cammie is just got back from going through rough things, she is weak right now and needs to get nutrients. She has to eat."
I couldn't say anything because Ms. Morgan started her speech welcoming everyone back. I quickly sat down but didn't pay any attention until she started to address the security.
"Do to resent events security has been doubled and no more town trips unless cleared by me. And as you must of noticed, if not step it up ladies, Mr. Solomon has been temporarily removed from the staff until further notice. Covert Operations will be taught by an MI6 agent, Agent Edward Townsend, and he will co-teach with a Gallagher alumni Agent Abigail Cameron. Show them respect. Thank you and have a wonderful meal." Whispers and rumors filled the hall, some about Joe and others about Agent Townsend and Abby. Dinner went by rather quickly, I kept trying to talk to Cammie but the girls or guys kept interrupting. When everyone was heading out I finally had enough and pulled Cammie aside which I shouldn't have done because 3 very angry Gallagher Girls advanced towards me.
"It's fine. I'll meet you back in our room." Cam said holding up her hand then turning to look at me. We walk to the library which is empty it being the first day, we went to the sit in the back, the same sit we had our first study date was. "What did you want to talk about that is so important I'm missing a James Bond marathon. The good ones too with Sean Connery!"
"I'm so sorry but this is about our relationship!" Okay, more sarcastic then I meant it.
"Grant told me you think I cheated on you with Preston over the summer. Need I remind you that I do not remember the summer, I may or may not have been with Preston! But if you can't trust me when I say I didn't or believe that I did then this isn't a healthy relationship."
"What do you mean?" This can't be happening.
"I mean maybe we should take a break." This is happen. This can happen, no it can't. 'I need you!' I want to scream by I just sat there dumbfounded. After a minute she got up and walked away with tears running down her face and I know I have my own.
Never thought it will be this hard to write a fanfiction, like to actually put thoughts to words and to spell them correctly too... like come on. Shout out to all the reviewers gallaghergirl2567, jenwarrow, LoveGallagherGirls and all the Guests. Love you all and you absolutely made my day and the people who followed and favorited. Don't worry Macey will end up with Preston in the end, just want to have my fun. Now I understand why authors kill off characters and stuff, it's fun.
Side question has anyone ever skipped class just to go to the library and read? Like who needs gym when you have books! I should probably get to class now(stay in school/class unless you already graduated then live life). Leave all your love, hate, questions and whatever in the reviews. If you PM me I will respond, I'm bored and we can talk about anything. Thank you!
