I heard Zach beeping out side.

"Coming!" I yelled. Zach and I have been going out for only a week and he's already showed how protective he can be. Like now, he refuses to let me walk to school. 'You could get kidnapped' he says 'you never know what type of weirdos are out there'. But, I never complain. At least he cares for me. My mother couldn't care less if I was taken by some creep.

A ran out the door to Zach's car. That's another thing. Zach is insanely rich. His car is a black BMW that he often likes to show off. not to me of coarse.

I opened the passenger door and got in. "Hey babe." He said kissing my hand while keeping his eyes on the road.

"Hey." I sad in I tired tone. I closed my eyes and relaxed to the feel of his hand in mine. Zach squeezed my hand.

"What's wrong?" He asked. I sighed and opened my eyes.

"Mr. Philips had us write an essay in one night. I finished at 1 o'clock this morning." I pulled out my essay and showed him. "All one thousand words." I leaned my head back as he read it. Well, glanced at it from time to time because, he was driving.

"He had you write an entire essay in one night, about Ancient Rome?" He asked. I only nodded as we pulled into the school parking lot.

"He should have given you guys at least 3 days to do it." Zach grumbled.

"You're lucky you don't have him. He's sooo annoying." I wined while getting out of the car. as I stood up I swayed from dizziness.

"Woah Cam. I got ya." Zach said as he caught me. "What time did you get up today?"

"I don't know. Maybe six thirty?" I said in a question tone.

"So you only slept for five and a half hours!?" He asked a little louder than necessary.

"Zach, your making people look. Shush." was all I said.

We reached my locker and I got my stuff. Zach then grabbed my books from my hands and stomped of to my home room. I huffed slamming my locker door and ran after him. Zach is always like this. When something happens to me making me stressed or tired or upset, Zach would get mad. He says he likes seeing me smile and not frown, but I think he also doesn't like it when people make me frown and feels the need to punch or kick something or that person. Like the locker he just abused with his foot.

"Zach, quit being such a baby. I'm tired, that's it. It's nothing to get upset over." I said once I caught up to him. I grabbed his arm and made him face me. "Zach." I said again, giving him a pointed look. He huffed and rolled his eyes.

"So? Your stupid teacher shouldn't give you that much to do in one night. Doesn't he know you have other classes besides his?" Zach asked. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips before grabbing my books out of his arms.

"Yes, he's just a hard teacher. Now get to class or you'll be late." I told him. Zach pulled me down for one last kiss.

"See you later Princess." He said and walked off.

Lunch finally came. My friends and the populars didn't set well together so sometimes I'll sit with them and other times I'll sit with Zach. The only 'friends' of his that didn't like me were Tina and her posse. All they did was glare a me or talk about me when I was there. Zach just told me to ignore them. I told him I do that anyway.

"You're sitting with me today Princess. Okay?" Zack asked me as I stood inline to get my food. Once Zach paid for my food, which I had no say in otherwise, we sat down.

"So I'm having a party at my house this weekend. My cousin Grant is coming. You should meet him. His like a big teddy bear." Zach told me. Grant. Now why does that name sound so familiar? I thought to myself. I sat straighter in my seat when I remembered.

"Has Grant ever worked at the fair?" I asked Zach. He looked at me strangely and nodded. I smiled. "Would you mind if my friends come to your party?"

"No, why would I?" He asked.

"I don't know. Just seemed polite to ask." I said yawning. Zach pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder closing my eyes. Soon enough I fell asleep.

"I don't care what her mom says! She's never been here for Cam before! Why the sudden interest in her life!?" I heard someone yell. I moaned slightly and snuggled deeper into Zach's neck.

"Cam?" I heard an unfamiliar voice ask.

"Don't wake her up moron. She needs to sleep." Zach said in a softer tone. I almost drifted back off when the unfamiliar voice yelled at Zach.

"You are in no position to call me a moron kid!" I moaned and covered my ear that wasn't already covered by Zach's shoulder.

"Zach? What's all the yelling?" I asked keeping my eyes closed.

"Nothing Cam. We were just leaving." Zach spat. I took my face from his neck and looked at my surroundings. We were in the office. And there was a man I have never seen before. I assumed he was the guy yelling at Zach. "Who are you? Zach, what are we doing here?" Now I was confused.

"This guy just wanted to talk. That's all." Zach got up, still holding me. A little more tighter than usual. As if I was going to be taken away from him.

"Zachary, put Cameron down... Now." The man glared at him. Zach grumbled but listened anyway keeping his arms protectively around my waist.

"How about we speak out side?" The man asked me. I looked at him.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"That is something I would like to speak of privately with you." The man said. He was taller than Zach by about two inches making him around 6'4. He had a stubble of a beard across his face and was really, really handsome. He looked to be in his late twenties early thirtys but his voice told me he was much older. He looked at the office lady. "Outside." She only nodded.

"I'm not going any where with you until I know who you are." I said. Zach stiffened a little bit and held into me tighter.

"My name, is Detective Joseph Solomon. Now let's go." He said. Zach and I walked out of the office and to the front entrance. This Joe guy looked back at us. "Alone." He said, glaring at Zach.

"No. I'm coming." was all Zach said before he pulled me outside.

"Zach! You can't talk to a detective like that." I whispered at him.

"Trust me Cam. He's not talking to you as a detective." Before I could ask what he meant, Joe spoke.

"So Cam. I'm sure you're wondering why I am here and why I want to speak with you. Your father and I were best friends through out high school and out of college. I was his best man at his wedding and at the hospital when you were born." he said. "You were a cute little baby." he said to himself. He looked me in the eye. "Any way, Cam, that day you were born, your mother and father asked me to be your godfather." I cut him off before he could continue.

"MY WHAT!? I'm sorry Sir but I don't believe a word you are saying. My father is dead and my mother is no longer a part of my life. I don't need you speaking of them in such ways." I went to turn around and walk back in school but the next thing Joe said made me stop.

"You are no longer attending Roseville High Cameron. Your going to live with me until you're old enough to move out." I looked at him horrified.

"What!?" I yelled. I looked back at Zach. He was staring at a tree with his saw clenched. I looked back at Solomon. "I don't even know you! You expect me to believe you just because you're a detective? There is no way I'm living with you!"

"Enough of the drama Cammie!" He yelled. "Your mother can't be here enough to take proper care of you. She asked me to take you. I promised your father I would do anything to keep you safe if he was not able too. Well Cam, Mathew is dead. I am going to keep my promise."

"I can take care of my self fine. And I have Zach. I don't need you!" I grabbed Zach's hand and stomped up the stares.

"Cameron Ann Morgan! Get back over here! Gosh you're as stubborn as your father!" He yelled.

"Don't talk about my Dad!" I yelled.

"Cam." Zach said speaking softly to me. "Why don't you talk to him. I'm sure you can convince him to let you stay." I could hear the brokenness in his voice. He kissed me and walked off.

I sat on the steps of the front entrance. I could hear Solomon walk up to me and soon, felt him sit down too.

"Your father was a true friend and a great man. And your mother had so much love for the both of you. His death was hard for her. She had to leave because business was getting hard." he said.

"I don't even know what she does. How do you know?" I asked.

"I just do. Im going to take you home so you can pack your things." he said getting up. I got up as well.

"I'm not going with you. Godfather or not, I don't know you! I'm seventeen. I'm not going to live with you for a year because my mom wants me too. I don't care that she wants me too. Or that she has a sudden interest in my life!" I yelled. I can't leave Zach. I won't leave him. He's the only one who cares for me. Who loves me and protects me.

"I don't care. Let's go." I looked at him an ran into the school. I looked at the time to see lunch was going to end in three minutes. I ran to the cafeteria and heard Joe behind me. I slammed the doors opened and looked for Zach. When I saw him I yelled for him running. He stood up and opened his arms just as I reached him. I held into him tightly while I cried.

"Don't let him take me Zach. Don't let him!" I sobbed.

"It's okay Princess. It's going to be okay." Zach said. We both knew he was lying.

"Cameron, I'm not asking again. Get into the car so we can leave." Joe said. "I didn't want to make a scene which is why I spoke with you out side." the bell rang but no one moved. All eyes were on us. "Too late now."

"No!" I yelled.

"Sir, why don't you leave. She's fine here. Godfather or not, you can't just take her away. She just met you. Do you really think she's going to live with you?" Zach asked, trying to be calm. I felt another pair of arms wrap around me pulling me from Zach.

"I guess we're doing it the hard way." Solomon grumbled. I yelled for Zach as Solomon took me away.

"Cammie!" He yelled. Nick and another guy, Luke, held Zach back.

"Zach! Don't leave me! You said you wouldn't leave!" I screamed. I saw my friends stand up with horrified looks on there faces and tears streaming down there cheeks.

"I know Princess! I'm not leaving you! I'll find you Cam!" His voice was cut of as the doors closed. I cried as the detective took me away. He will never be Joe to me. never be my godfather, my friend, uncle, anything. Only Detective Solomon.
