Okay, I got a good amount of inspiration for this chapter sooner than I thought so that's why I'm quick with the update. This will be the last chapter! I feel like the story has run its course and to be honest I'm running out of ideas. If anyone doesn't like how I have ended the story or feels like I've ended it too soon, let me know. Review, review, review…please it's the last chapter so I want loads, I don't even care if they're negative! Anyway, he we go, chapter 10!

Disclaimer: still after 10 chapters, own nothing.

Chapter 10

Cam's POV

It's been six months since I last saw Zach. After I came out of my coma and we had our huge blow-up, I was told by the doctors that due to my "fragile mental state" I should spend some time in a rehab facility. It was hard to hear that. I finally had to admit that I needed help, and after months of therapy sessions and talking about my feelings I am finally allowed to return home.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't anxious to leave rehab. This place has been my home for a long time and I wasn't sure if I was ready to let go yet. Nevertheless, I have to.

That's why, right now, I'm in the car with Abby on our way back to Roseville. I'm scared to go home. I haven't been there since…well…since I nearly died.

I have spoken to Bex, Liz and Macey, but only briefly on the phone. I wasn't allowed my cell phone in rehab and only Abby was allowed to visit. The doctors thought that with everything I went through that being completely cut off from everyone might be the best way to recover, and it has. I have missed the girls, but I know that my time away was long overdue; gosh, it sounds like a holiday when I think of it like that!

After a few hours of driving we finally entered Roseville and were pulling into the driveway at home. It's strange that since I've been gone, I really have come to think of this town and especially this house as home; there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

Abby switches off the ignition and turns to me smiling, "Home sweet home!"

"Yeah," I reply, suddenly breathless.

"Hey," Abby warns. "Are you sure you're ready for this, because if you're not, I can take you straight back right now."

"No, it's okay Abby. It's just good to be home," I say smiling for the first time in a long time.

"Well, in that case, let's go inside!"

I cautiously climb out of the car with Abby, following her lead up pathway to the front door. Just as Abby opens the door, I exclaim, "Oh, my bag! It's in the trunk!"

"Don't worry honey," Abby soothes. "We'll get it later."

"Nah, I'll get it now. There's a book in it that I want to show you. I'll be two secs."

Abby nods and steps inside the house closing the door behind her while I make my way back to the car and pop the trunk open. I reach in to grab my bag when I hear a voice that after all this time still sends shivers down my spine.

"Cam?" Zach shouts from his front lawn. He makes his way over to me and stops a few feet away, giving me my required space.

"You're back?"

"Yeah," I reply. "Just now."

We stand in awkward silence, both trying to figure out what to say to relieve some tension. It's some time before we both decide to speak.

"I-"

"You-"

"You first," Zach prompts.

"I was just going to say that I should probably get inside. Abby will be wondering where I've gone to."

"Oh, okay," Zach replies looking slightly crestfallen. "See you around then?"

"Yeah, maybe," I say grabbing my bag, slamming shut the trunk and making my way inside, wishing with every step that things had ended differently.

Zach's POV

I should have just told her. I should have just blurted it out and said, "Cam, I love you"…but no. I am a coward. I just let her walk away.

I pace my bedroom thinking over our conversation in my head again and again, each time finding something that I should have done differently. After walking back and forward for what feels like the millionth time, it comes to me, and with that I'm out the door and marching up to Cam's house as fast as I can go. Nothing is going to stop me this time, I think.

I ring the doorbell, and wait impatiently for someone to answer the door.

Thankfully it's Cam.

"Hey," I say.

"Hi," Cam replies, unsure.

"I need to tell you something."

"Okay?"

"I have analysed every part of our relationship, every conversation, for the past six months. No matter how hard I have tried I haven't been able to get over you. It killed me to hurt you the way that I did, and I cannot apologise enough for that, but what I have to say is forgetting all of that, and something that I have wanted to say for a while. Cam, I love you."

Silence. She doesn't say a word. I begin panicking and lamenting inside my head, thinking, how could I have said that? Of course she doesn't love me back! Why would she?

Just when I am about to turn and walk away completely embarrassed, Cam grabs me by the arm and whispers softly,

"I love you too."

That's all I need to hear, before I pull her closer and kiss her soft lips hungrily and greedily.

Cam's POV

He loves me. Zach Goode loves me. Me! This is all I can think as he pulls me close and kisses me with such passion that I can feel my knees go weak.

Finally when we break apart, our foreheads touch and I think, how did my life suddenly get so good?

The End.

Well, that' it. I'm so sorry if people think this ending is rushed and stupid, but I really don't have time for the story anymore. With exams coming up and all, I can't have any distractions, and this being unfinished was definitely one. Again let me know what you think, and please review for one last time!
