Zach and Cammie were now lying on Zach's bed. Zach's cheek was bruised and his eye was swollen but it would calm down by the morning, his knuckles were cut and his ribs were a light shade of purple where Grant had jabbed him. Zach's arm was lazily thrown over Cammie's waist as she lay with her back to him. It was black outside and the early hours of the next day, Cammie was staring at the white wall her brown eyes pained.

She turned around to face him, he was asleep and his thick lashes caught the moonlight making shadows fall down his face. She smiled softly at him and moved her fingers carefully up to his damaged cheek and slowly graced her fingertip against it. Then moving her fingers up to his hair she raked her fingers through it, Zach opened his eyes and smiled at her. Cammie quickly moved her hand to her chest and looked up at him embarrassed, "Keep doing it, I liked it." He smirked at her and she continued running her hands through his hair as he closed his eyes in enjoyment.

His breath fanned her face as she looked up at him, "I love you." Zach breathed out his eyes still closed and then Cammie stopped moving her hand, but it was still in his hair. He opened his eyes and the jade green shone into Cammie's light hazel, "I know I should have said it when you said it but I just wanted to be sure." Cammie smiled at him and then softly placed her lips on his, Zach's grip tightened on her waist pressing her body firmly against his. His lips curved into a smirk against hers.

Cammie pulled away and rested her forehead against his, "We need to talk to Grant tomorrow, explain everything." Zach nodded and then kissed her lightly on the lips and then Cammie moved her head to his chest and fell asleep.

Grant was asleep on the sofa in the living room his phone next to him and still in the clothes from last night. Zach got the worst of the fight as Grant only had a cut on his lips but not a single bruise. There was a knock on the door and he ran to it swinging it open to see Cammie standing there in the same clothes as yesterday, "Oh god thank god you're alright! I was going out of my mind last night I was out of order saying that to you." Grant then stopped when he saw Zach walk up the drive after locking up his car. "Piss off Zach."

Cammie sighed "Please give us a chance to explain ourselves."

Grant just stepped away from the door and walked into the kitchen as Cammie and Zach followed behind closing the door after them. Grant stood against the counter looking tired and Cammie and Zach stood awkwardly in the doorway, "Go on then, explain." Grant stated.

"We didn't mean for it to happen it just sort of did, we kissed and then the whole thing with Matty happened and I broke it off with him. Then nothing major happened we kissed again but that was it. And then the night it kicked off and Zach found me he comforted me and I realised I really liked him and yeah. But we ended it," Cammie decided to leave out that Nick knew to save his neck. "Then last night happened." When Cammie ended she sighed and looked at Grant desperate for some sort of reaction.

"Still you still crossed a line Goode; she is my sister for goodness sake! I never thought I'd have to explain to you not to go anywhere near her." Grant screamed at Zach and Cammie flinched slightly.

"Believe me Grant I didn't plan it, I felt shit for doing it to you but it is different with Cammie I genuinely care about her. I would never hurt her on purpose." Zach explained and Cammie smiled at him softly.

"How many times have you said it is different when you're with a girl? It doesn't mean anything to you Zach, it never does. You do this all the time, why do you have to do it to Cammie too?" His voice cracked at the end, the anger getting stronger within him.

Zach ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, "I mean it, and I love her Grant. She means the world to me." There was so much emotion his Zach's voice, desperation for Grant to believe him. Cammie looked at Zach her chest tightening, she wasn't going to pick between her brother and Zach because she would then have to leave Zach. Grant's her brother; he means the world to her.

"You love her?" Grant asked and Zach just nodded the lump in his throat stopping him from forming coherent words, "Do you love him?" Grant turned to his sister who had a line of tears forming in her eyes; she just nodded and tried to figure out what was going in Grant's head. "Well then there isn't much I can do then. If you're serious about it I am not going to tell you to break up, that doesn't mean I forgive you Goode. I accept it." Then he walked out of the kitchen and they heard the shower turn on.

They both stood there unable to understand what just happened, he didn't kick off for as long as they thought he would, he wasn't stubborn about it like he had the right to be. Cammie turned to face Zach a smile on her lips, Zach laughed slightly and then wrapped his arms around her waist picking her up slightly pressing his lips against hers. Cammie pulled away, still being held in the air, her hands on his shoulder for support. "I love you so much." Cammie breathed out and Zach nodded then pressed his lips back against hers.

Zach left shortly after and Cammie went to shower and get changed into a pair of cotton shorts and an oversized white top. She could hear her brother listening to music from his room and he had been ignoring her all morning. They're mum was due back in two days and she wanted to be on at least good terms when that time came. Cammie knocked lightly on Grant's door but he obviously didn't hear her because of his earphones.

Cammie opened it slightly and looked in to see him lying on his back staring at the ceiling with his ear phones in. He looked up at her, "Can I come in?" Cammie asked and he nodded and took out his earphones but still just lay on the bed. It was the first time in her life she didn't know how to act around Grant, he was her best friend and she had known her all her life. Yet here she was standing awkwardly at the doorway not knowing where to sit.

Grant looked at her from the corner of his eyes and she smiled weakly at him then decided to sit on the edge of his bed, "I am so sorry Grant." Her hands were folded on her lap and her back was hunched over. She felt Grant sit up so his back was on the wall behind his bed. "I don't want to lose you over this." Her voice cracked slightly at the end and she furiously wiped away a stray tear as the tension seemed to have a death grip around her throat.

Grant looked at her with sympathy in his blue eyes, he moved from the top of the bed to the bottom where Cammie was. He rubbed her back but she was still stiff, "You are not going to lose me, you will never lose me. The only reason I am mad at you is because you didn't tell me. I thought you trusted me with anything." Cammie was waiting for that, she knew it was coming but still it hit her like a tonne of bricks.

Still unable to look at him, "I know. But I wanted to make sure there was something to tell first. I hate myself for what I did, but I love you too much and I didn't want you to hate me. I thought it would be for the best." Her voice was quiet and Grant was just sitting listening. Not butting in or trying to ignore her, he was just listening.

"Cam look at me," Grant pleaded, Cammie turned to face him and saw he was smiling softly at her. "I would never hate you, I am not mad at you. I guess I do get why you did it, but just because I am not mad at you doesn't mean I am not mad at Zach. I will forgive him eventually I just need time to come to terms with it. As much as you hate it, you are my younger sister and I will do anything to keep you safe. With dad not around I feel like it is my obligation to make sure you're safe when it comes to boys. I am never going to be ok with you seeing anyone because no one, and I mean no one, is worthy of you.

"You're the most beautiful girl in the world, you have a heart of gold and try and put everyone before yourself. Granted it sometimes doesn't go as planned," Cammie gave a teary smile at this, "But you're sister and I will love you forever. If you and Zach are serious about it and actually mean it I am not going to stop it or whatever, it isn't my place. I do not own you; sadly you can do what you want now. But if you are can you please keep the lovey dovey shit under wraps while I'm around?" He joked and Cammie nodded her eyes filling with tears and she threw her arms around his neck. Grant wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head smiling.

Cammie was currently cooking some dinner since Grant had gone to work she was on her own. Just as she was about to sit down and eat it the doorbell went off, sighing she trudged through the house towards the door. Opening it she was met by someone she wasn't expecting, "I want to get back together." Matty.

I don't know what I think of this chapter. I am not sure if I liked how things panned out. I hope you did like this chapter. Please review and sorry for the cliff hanger at the end, just thought I'd spice the chapter up a bit. Have any of you heard 'Happy Little Pill', I have had it on repeat all day?
