AG2: Some Things Are Better Left Forgotten

by Aliviababe5

My name is Alivia Goode. Last school year I was kidnapped by the Circle of Cavan. I was tortured and almost died. Now I am dangerous and a killer. Despite all of that...the Circle still wants me. And they've put a traitor in Gallagher to get me back. Now it's personal. They have messed with my school and put my family in danger. Now I am ready. I am waiting. I am a Gallagher Girl.

14. Just Talk

Hey guys. I want to thank TerryCherry and mnash123 for the helpful tips. TerryCherry helped me realize what my story was missing…and I hope it's noticeable. Thanks to mnash123, I was able to get out of my writers block and write this chapter. Thanks guys!

Zach POV

I was lying on Cammie's bed, eyes closed.

I was thinking of something when hair tickled my face. The urge to open my eyes was defiantly there, but I stood my ground.

"Cammie," I mumbled, she pressed her lips to mine softly. I slid my arms around her waist and held her to me. She pulled back and smiled at me.

"Miss me?"

I nodded and kissed her nose. She laid her head down on my chest and sighed. We laid there for exactly five minutes and fifty-three seconds when I said "Cam?"

"Yeah Zach?"

"Can I ask a question?"

"Anything."

"I've noticed…you and Alivia…aren't as close anymore. She's gone through the same exact things…and you haven't asked if she needs help," I said carefully and slowly.

She tensed in my arms and then burst into tears.

Sobbing loudly she choked out "I-I-I k-know. I've b-been a h-horrible m-m-mother! I h-haven't d-done anything t-t-to h-help her!" She drenched my shirt with tears but I didn't try to move, I just held her tighter.

"Shh Cammie baby its okay," I rubbed my hand up and down her back, comforting her.

"No it's not!"

She placed her hands on my chest and pushed up. "Zach I haven't done anything to help her at all. She's been through torture and God knows what they did to her in the Circle base!"

Tears ran steadily down her face but her voice was low and filled with hurt.

"She almost died…just like I did. I've done nothing to help her…," she laid her head back down and started to cry again, shaking now with each sob.

"Cammie, look at me," she slowly brought her head up and sniffed.

"You have been the best mother you can be. You didn't talk to your mother either…sometimes you may go through things that are the same…but with two different people…coping is different."

"I could have still tried to help…I could have done more," she whispered.

"Then on Sunday when you guys eat dinner together…talk about it. Ask her questions and let her know you're here for her." I wiped her tears away gently with my thumb. "She's been through a lot Cam…just like you did. You didn't talk to anyone except Dr. Steve."

"He tried to kill me," she said blatantly.

"Okay, you have to work with me here," I said exasperated.

She smiled.

"I understand what you're saying. She wasn't really going to talk anyway."

I nodded and kissed her forehead.

"I love you and Alivia more than you'll ever know Cam. It's important that she can have a mother to trust and love. I'm not going to be with you guys much longer…you'll have each other. Just talk to her on Sunday okay?"

She nodded.

"I will."

"Good," I smirked and kissed her again.
