A/n: Chapter 12! I haven't Updated in an awfully long time since while I'm writing this I have yet to upload chapter 10…SORRY! Well all that matters is that I'm writing and clearly the story is continuing! Any ideas on what I should do with this story? I would love it! Okay now shout-outs to the people who are AWESOMELY AWESOME because they reviewed! GO REVIEWERS!

She-Pirates kick-BUTT: You're name kicks some serious butt so you know :P. Nooo silly (I reread the chapter just for you so you know!) Cameron was regretting being rude and talking back to Zachary YAY YOU'RE BACK! I love people that come back! :D. Zach is one BAMF. I think that shall be Team Cameron's new catch phrase (FIGHT THE POWER!). Even though she doesn't have a Team since…well there's no one else who wants Zachary (and has a chance lol). Ohhh I so like that idea! What great timing I'm working on a chapter where that is going to come in handy . Dude…cookies are way better than pineapples don't even joke about that :P.

Misscullengoode: Macey pretty much DESIRES Zachary but he's just like "Woah wtf? Not interested" and she's a bitch so she's going after him anyway w

CHAPTER XII!

Cameron had gone up to Elizabeth's room, with her offer, so that she could rid herself of the drink Macey McHenry had poured on her. She had run herself and bath and cleaned herself up, and after getting herself dressed she was trying to get the champagne stain out of Elizabeth's gorgeous dress. Cameron was upset but was sure not to allow herself to cry in the case that Zachary would actually come upstairs to meet her. She was not actually sure if he would come but she could only hope he would, in the case that he was not in Elizabeth's room by the time she had gotten the stain out, or was finished trying, she would allow herself to go up to her room and cry.

A stab of pain coursed through Cameron's heart since the thought of being forgotten by Zachary was one she rather not have. A warm tear slowly slid its way down Cameron's cheek and she cursed herself for caring so much. She wished she had never met Zachary Goode, for he has made her feel more emotions than she thought she even had. Without warning she heard footsteps on the plush carpet of the room and she quickly wiped her face, smearing the makeup she had put on earlier.

"Cameron? Are you alright?" Zachary's voice wondered truly. There was so much passion in his voice it was hard for Cameron to not start crying all over again, but she was sure to keep her emotions in check.

"Yes…I am fine" Zachary then sat next to Cameron on the cold floor of the washroom, taking the dress out of her hands and wrapped his arms around Cameron. That is when she started crying. It was not as soft as before, tears running like a stream down her face, worrying Zachary to no end. He tried to catch them all, wanting it to stop, but they only kept coming.

"What is wrong Cameron? Please tell me, you can tell me" Zachary begged her stroking her hair soothingly.

"I miss Gallagher" she said simply and quickly. Once she said it she wished she could take the words back. Her home had so many memories. Gallagher had her mother, but it was also where her father died, where Joshua was murdered, and where there was no future or hope for her. Back at Gallagher, there was no Zachary.

"You know what you have here that you do not have back at home Gallagher Girl?" Zachary asked looking Cameron in her watery eyes.

"What?" Cameron asked in a slow, soft whisper.

"You have me" was all he said before pulling Cameron back in his arms. She stopped crying then because he was right. Those three words played in her head while for the few minutes they just sat there. Cameron playing with Zachary's hand him fiddling with her hair. You have me she thought the words playing in her head with his voice soft and gental.

Zachary and Cameron could in no way deny their feelings for each other. Neither did they want the moment to end. They were together finally with no reason to let go. Cameron had never felt the way she did about anyone, not even Joshua. She for once had no thoughts of Joshua with Zachary, she only thought about how she wanted to run her hands through his soft dark hair, and stare into his deep blue eyes that she felt she could swim in. Cameron felt love, and it mixed with her blood, running through her veins. She had Zachary.

Cameron was on Zachary's mind when he was with her and when she was not. She was in his arms and he wanted her to stay there, he never wanted her to go. He pressed his lips to her silky hair, wanting to kiss her soft lips, wanting her arms around him. Zachary did not worry about what Macey was going to do to either of them. He did not worry about his mother, or how she would use him. He did not worry about Cameron being taken away from him, but only the thought of her coming closer, her body pressed against his.

"Zachary?" Cameron murmured her voice calm.

"Yes Cameron?"

"I want to ask you something" she whispered her words coming out like a puff of air.

"Of course" Zachary said hanging on to her words, so peaceful.

"What made you begin to be so kind towards me?" she asked turning to look into his eyes full of love.

"I realized how wonderful you are."

"That is not a real answer" Cameron retorted knowing Zachary could not be telling the whole truth.

"At first I thought it was when you had actually stood up to not only me but Macey. Then the day when you were crying…I heard you talking with Rebecca. You were seemed like you needed someone to be there for you. I wanted to walk in the room and take you into my arms. I heard myself in your voice, you were talking about one thing but meaning something completely different Cameron. I was going to leave before you saw me but you walked out of the room. Your face seemed so grief stricken. When I saw you, I realized what you were actually saying aloud, not what you intended. Something, my own mother did, had caused you so much pain. I felt nothing but hatred towards my mother, for doing such a thing to you. You were full of so many emotions but you still worked up the courage to speak to me with such clear and powerful words. Cameron, you're the strongest person I know."

"You remember it that clearly?" Cameron asked, shocked that Zachary remembers in such detail. She had no idea he felt so much, not only at this moment, but for her then.

"Should I not Cameron?" Zachary asked a smirk playing across his lips.

"I just did not think you would."

"It was the moment I knew I wanted you Gallagher Girl. Of course I would remember it."

"Well I guess now I know Blackthorne Boy."

"Now you know" Zachary said kissing Cameron. It was just as earth shattering as the first, and she only hoped they would stay that way.

A/n: Well aren't they super cheesy! Okay soooo I made Zachary the sweetest little thing! I was worried about him being OOC but…EVERYONE in this story is lol. Does anyone have some ways that I can include Liz and Jonas back into the story? Haha I can't think of a reason! I think they may just have a wedding and leave. Yes? No? Okay so…yeah don't forget to review with ideas and/or random things that only I would love to hear (read :3). For the record I ADORE long reviews *nudge nudge*! ;). So no worries! Thanks for reading lovely people!
