Chapter 21:
Cammie pov:
I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember! I lay in the hospital room, searching for, a hidden memory, just something! I just don't get how I could forget a whole semester. I sigh; today's the day of the ball, and the doctors still won't let me out. I've been a little paranoid since 'Catherine' came, so paranoid I make every nurse or doctor empty there pockets before they even come near me.
I wonder if Macey, Bex, or Liz will visit today. Or Zach, a small voice says inside my head. Zach, how could a guy so good looking even think about dating me? As if drawn by my thoughts, the one and only Zachary Goode walks in.
"Hey Gallagher Girl" He says, and then pulls something out from behind his back. It's a bouquet of flowers, and a box of chocolates. He'd been bringing me the same thing for three days in a row, but always a different flower. Today was roses and there was a note attached.
It said 'ready for the ball?' I look over at him. "I don't think that they'll let me out" I say "Yes they will, you look fine to me" he says confidentially "I look terrible" I say "You look beautiful" He says back "Is your definition of beautiful, having gauze wrapped around your head, and cuts all over your arms?" I say sarcastically "I think it's a new fashion statement" He says back.
We just sit there for a while, in an awkward silence, no not awkward, peaceful. A doctor walks in, carrying a clip board. "Alright Cammie, since you've been asking to be released, I suppose we could do a little test, first thing we're going to try standing up" he says quickly, like he can't wait to get out of here.
"Okay" I turn myself toward the door than set one foot down, testing my weight. I put my left foot down, and I start to feel dizzy, then I crumple to the ground, but not before Zach catches me from falling face first into a chair.
He pulls me up, and I can bear my weight now. I whisper a quick thanks to Zach, while the doctor scribbles something on his clipboard. "Okay, now walking" He says, not even bothering to look up at me. I take a few small steps, it takes a few tries, but I can finally walk like a normal person.
We do a few more tests, and the doctor is going to give us our answer. "Cameron, I think we should wait until tomorrow to release you" he says "But I have plans today!" I say "Well, it would be saf-" but he doesn't get the sentence out because Zach is reaching into a pocket, and he slaps, something onto the doctor's arm, that makes him crumple to the ground.
Then he grabs the clipboard, and checks 'pass'. "He won't even know we left" Zach says. I can't walk very quickly, so Zach just carries me. I lean my head against his arm, and its rock solid.
He takes me out to a car, where Macey is waiting in the back seat. "Hey Macey" I say "Hey Cammie, ok I came because since today is ball, we need a lot of time to get ready, so I thought that we need at least 7 hours to prepare, so I sent Zach to get you" she says with a satisfied grin.
"Seven hours?" I say in disbelief "Maybe eight, it depends on how much make-up we use-" Macey rambles on about the accessories, so I just tune her out, and before I know it I'm home! I see the Gallagher mansion, standing tall, I even half expect to hear the limos, and cries of hellos, that I usually hear but I don't.
When we get to the hall, Zach goes left and Macey and I go right. "Macey are there, other boys staying at our school?" I ask "Yeah there's probably fifteen or twenty guys here, Liz found a nerdy one, Bex has this guy that looks like a freaking god, I think I like there room mate" she says. "You like a guy?" I say
That's off the topic; we have to get you ready for the ball!" She says avoiding the question "What is the ball for exactly?" I question her "Well for Buckingham, it's a big manners thing, but it's also a mission for Mr. Solomon" She explains
"Did we get our assignments yet?" I ask "No, well all we know is whoever you go to the ball with is your partner" she says, while we walk into our dorm. I'm attacked with a bone-crunching hug from Bex, and a light hug from Liz. I look around; the room is messy, with clothes and make-up thrown everywhere, when it should be clean. I shake my head.
Macey has pushed me into the bathroom and told me to take a fast shower, than to put this on. What is 'this', she had pushed a covered dress into my hands. I take of the plastic cover and I see it. A bright blue that matches my eyes, with a pattern of flowers curling around the dress, and it's strapless. It's a beautiful dress, way to beautiful for a plain girl like me. I step into the showers hot rain, then I shampoo, and condition I scrub all over, since I feel like I'm covered in a layer of dirt, then I dry off, put my hair into a towel, than step into the dress.
When I come out of the bathroom, I don't see Macey anywhere. "Where'd Macey go?" I ask Bex and Liz "She went to give the guys there tuxedos" Liz says "She had the tuxedoes?" I ask "She made the tuxedoes, and our dresses, except for yours, your mom gave it to you" Bex says.
"I'm back!" Macey says in a sing-song voice. I prepare myself for the torture I'm about to go through. "Time for Make-up" Macey announces. She puts eye shadow on, but no mascara, since she's aiming for 'a natural look' unfortunately 'natural' is very painful, when she's finished she put a necklace on me. It has a C and a Z on it, with little diamonds. "Did Zach give me this?" I ask "Yes, now I have to get to work on Liz and Bex's make up" she says. While I was getting tortured Liz and Bex had put there dresses on. Liz's was a light pink color that had roses on top, Bex had a one-strap teal dress, and Macey had a Black dress with little diamonds that caught the light, knowing Macey, they were probably real diamonds.
We make it down to grand hall to find that all the tables were now surrounding the room, there were punch bowls, and snack tables, streamers hung across the room, and Balloons were strung from the posts. While we were taking in the grand hall Mr. Solomon had appeared "Alright ladies and gentlemen, ready for your assignments?"
Authors Note: The ball is here! THE LINKS TO THE DRESSES ARE ON MY PROFILE! I was wondering how many people read the authors note so if you do write the word 'crab cake' in your review! Okay a song, here it is!
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh [x2]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh
Come feel my heart
It's beating like a drum and I confess
When you're around
It's like an army's marching through my chest
And there's nothing I can do
I just gravitate towards you
You're pulling on me like the moon
I just wanna get you sideways
I say anything I can to get me more than just a dance
Tell me where to put my hands
You know that you could be my favorite one-night stand
You get me higher
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Do if I said it tonight?
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Cause you know I la, la, la, lie
You're like a song
A beautiful symphony to my eyes
So take me on
I wanna sing along all through the night
I'm not like the other boys
Cause with you I've got no choice
You make me wanna lose my voice
I just wanna get you sideways
No, I'm not the type to lie
But I might just start tonight
Let me turn off all these lights
You know that you could be my favourite lullaby
You get me higher
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Do If I said it tonight?
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Cause you know I la, la, la, lie
Like a symphony
Like a symphony
Like a symphony tonight
Like a symphony
Like a symphony
Like a symphony tonight
Sounds like a symphony
Like a symphony
Like a symphony tonight
Like a symphony
Like a symphony
Like a symphony tonight
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Do If I said it tonight?
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Cause you know I la, la, la, la, la, oooh
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Do if I said it tonight?
What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you?
Cause you know I la, la, la, lie
Ooooh
