Cammie's POV

During english, Zach asked me to meet him at his car at the end of the day. So, that's how I found my self waiting by his car as the students of Roseville High poured out of the doors.

"Cammie!" Someone called from behind me. I turned around to see a grinning Zach running towards me.

"Ready?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yup." he said, pipping the 'p'. "Let's go."

I opened the passenger door and was about to get in but a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me to its owner.

"One hour babe. That's it." Toby said.

"I know Toby. You told me five times already." I told him calmly. he ignored me and looked at Zach.

"Remember Goode, she's mine." Toby said. To prove his point, Toby leaned in and kissed me on the lips for a good ten seconds before pulling away. I looked down and blushed, taking a glance at Zach. He glared at Toby and was holding onto the car door so hard his knuckles were white.

"We better get going Zach." I mumbled.

"Bye beautiful." Toby said. I hugged him and kissed his cheek before climbing in and shutting the door. Once we were out on the road, Zach looked over to me.

"So, you still 'love' Toby?" He asked.

"You know the answer to that." I grumbled, sinking further into my seat.

"If not, then why don't you dump him?" I looked at him and bit my lip. Contemplating if I should tell him it not. I closed my eyes and sighed.

"It's more complicated than that." I said. "I can't just dump him and have a clean break."

"And why not?" I could hear the curiousness in his voice, but also, a little excitement. As if he's finally getting the answers to a question he's been asking himself his whole life.

"Because." I said in a short tone. Obviously he didn't get the hint that I didn't want to talk about it because he opened his stupid mouth again.

"Because he'll hurt you, right?" He asked me. "He'll freak out and say that your not allowed to leave him. That your his and only his." He looked over at me and I just stared at him.

"No. That's not at all true. He doesn't hurt me." I said in a shaken voice. Hopefully it wasn't that noticeable.

"But he's controlling." He sad.

"No, he's just very protective." I lied.

Lie lie lie. Why can't you just tell him Cam? Just tell him how Toby treats you. I told my self. Do it. Now!

I opened my mouth to tell Zach. Tell him every thing I could about Toby, but Zach spoke first.

"What ever you say Cammie." he said. I closed my mouth, losing all courage to speak.

My phone beeped, alerting me of a test message.

You aren't doing anything, right? I rolled my eyes and texted Toby back.

No, everything is fine.

Ok babe. One hour and then I'm coming to pick you up. I closed my phone. Not wanting to deal with him.

We pulled into his driveway an I got out, pulling my coat closer to me.

"I only have an hour." I told Zach, walking up the steps to his front door. "I need to get back and clean the house before my mom gets home on Monday."

Zach unlocked the for and opened it, allowing me to enter first. We made our way to the living room and I took my coat and shoes off. Zach grabbed a notebook from his backpack and sat down next to me, close enough for our legs to touch. I had enough room to move away, but, I didn't bother. Zachs body radiated heat and comfort. The comfort part was what made me stay. It was unusual. Just one simple touch could make me feel like nothing and no one could ever hurt me. I was attracted to it.

I looked at Zach and saw a slight smile on his face. I didn't bother to ask what made him so happy because he started fireing away questions.

"What makes you scare the most?" He asked. I thought about it.

"Being alone in the dark." I answered. He wrote it down.

"What would make you the happiest girl in the world?" I tilted my head, curious as to why he was asking this, but ignored it.

"Umm, I don't know. I guess, never being left." I said truthfully. My phone beeped.

Hey, did you get my message? I shut my phone a Zach asked the next question.

"What do you love the most in a guy." I looked at him.

"Okay, what are these questions really for? I know these questions aren't English project related." I said.

"Yes they are. I like to get personal." I rolled my eyes but answered anyway.

"I don't know, uh, a sweet personality I guess." He smiled and wrote that down.

"How is your relationship with current boyfriend, Toby Lundon?"

"Zach, we already talked about that." I said. "What going on?"

"Why so afraid to answer Cam? It's just a question." he said, sitting straighter. I did as well, refusing to answer.

"Okay, how about this one. Does he hurt you?" My phone beeped. I didn't check it though, knowing it was Toby.

"Does he control you?" My phone started ringing so I turned it off.

"Does he ever leave you alone?" He asked, standing up. I stayed sitting, still refusing to answer.

"How about freedom Cam? Does he ever give you freedom?" I clenched my jaw, praying the tears wouldn't flow.

"I see how he treats you Cam. Answer my questions." he said in a slightly raised voice. "Does. He. Hurt. You? Answer me!" My hands started shaking as I cried. I felt his arms go around me, holding me as I cried.

"Are you scared? Is that why you won't tell anyone? Are you scared he might hurt you if you tell?" He whispered. I nodded as I cried. Hanging into Zach as if he was the only thing that could keep me from falling.

"He scares me so-o much." I said. Zach pulled me onto his lap as I cried.

"He makes me go everywhere with him. I can't be around anyone but him and his friends. He hits me when I don't do what he says or if I disrespect him." I said. "I'm just so scared."

"I love you Cam." I stiffened in his arms. "I won't hurt you. I won't control you. I will be with you in the dark so you're not scared. I will never leave you alone. I will take care if you Cam. I love you. You don't know how much it hurts to see you with Lundon. How much it hurts to know that Lundon physically and emotionally hurts you." I looked up at him, before getting out of his grasp and standing up. I shook my head.

"You can't." I said. Zach stood up and cupped my face in his hands. He looked straight in my eyes.

"Yes. I can. And I will." he said. "And you can't tell me I don't because I do. I won't hurt you."

"That's why you wanted me here isn't it." I spat. removing his hands from my face. "So you could get me down to tears and make me tell you everything. You knew I was going to break. Why couldn't you have just left me alone?! I'm fine. Toby's fine. My relationship is fine. Everything is fine. Forget I even said anything."

Zach pulled me to him and crashed his lips on mine, making me forget about everything. I focused on his lips that I was currently kissing. So soft and warm. Just like the last few times we kissed. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened, allowing his tongue to enter my mouth. As our tongues wrestled, I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with his hair. He pulled me closer.

Being in his arms made me feel safe, like he would protect me from anything. I smiled into the kiss as Zach picked me up. Our kiss wasn't long lasting though as a big smash came from the front entrance. We parted and looked towards the door way in shock. My eyes grew wide and I gasped, looking at Toby with a gun in his hands, pointed straight at me.

A/N: shout out to miaadvanture, she came up with the idea of Toby breaking into the house after I typed this but I still want to give her a shout out! Great minds think alike yeah?

Okay, so I tried the cliff hanger. Was it good? Was the chapter good? It's time for another vote! Here's what I need you to do. Review or PM me what you want to happen next.

A) Toby shoots Zach in the arm or knocks him out or something so he has time to kidnap Cam.

B) As Zach and Toby fight, Cam calles the police and we get introduced to Joe Solomon.

C) Zach gets rid of Toby with threats and a nice beating and Sean steps in. Only to find out he doesn't have a chance and gives up.

D) Both A and B

If B or D, would you like Joe to just be an investigator or more than that. You know, like, he knows about Cam and her parents and all that. Do you want Joe to be a father figure to Cam?

This chapter would have been longer, but I want you guys to choose what happens next.

Any other suggestions. Review or PM them! Thanks for reading and reviewing!And to answer some of my reviewers questions, there are relationships like this in the real world. Over possessive boy friends that act just like Toby. It's a very scary situation and very hard to tell people what is really going ton the the relationship. My friend had a boyfriend like him as she didn't know what to do. We all thought everything was fine until she finally broke.

Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes! I know it ruins the story when there are mistakes in them. So, sorry!

Im so sorry I forgot to put this when I posted this chapter-:-: To my reviewer Cici, thank you soooo much! I'm so glad you like my story. And I think co-writing would be fun!

REVIEW PLEASE AND THANK YOU. YOU GUYS ARE SERIOUSLY AMAZING!
