Wake-Up Zachy: A Series of One-Shots
Chapter 21
Cammie's POV
Dear Blackthorne Boy,
You mostly likely are never going to read this, because if I ever see you again to give this to you in person, well, I should tell you face to face, not through a letter, though that does not mean I will, and if I die, well I'm sure your mother isn't going to give it to you.
There's so much I have to say and unfortunately not enough time or paper to write it down. I don't even know where to start. I guess the best place to start is the beginning.
I didn't right you that letter and I'm sure you know what one I'm talking about. I hope you were smart enough not to believe but I have a feeling you believed every word in there. Again, I didn't write it, and I certainly didn't leave by my own will.
Your mother's always been a hard subject but I think I found out something's you might want to know. She's not your mom exactly. I mean she is but she isn't at the same time. I would explain but I can't let them know what I know. They probably think I have the wrong information anyway.
Moving on to brighter things, your dad's a lot closer to you than you think. I'm sorry I can't say exactly but I can give advice. And because riddles are fun, it's going to be in the form of a riddle.
Ask the one you trust the most,
On the darkest night of them all.
Speak to him, the secret phrase.
Through the eagle's eyes you'll see,
He'll shed a silent tear.
And though you thought you knew him well.
A secret will appear.
So, I'm guess you just punch a wall? Yeah, I know, I just dropped two bombs on you (not literally but you get the point) and didn't tell you the answer to either one. Sorry! It's for the best.
One last thing, Blackthorne Boy; it took me while to admit to myself, let alone a loud, but I need to tell you somehow. These words, well they aren't very complex but in a way they are. They bring so much with them, carry so much weight; hey really should be used less often, but, I hope you noticed over the years I've only said them once or twice; to Bex, to Macey, to Liz, and to my mom. Not even someone like Solomon has earned these words yet. But you, you got them long ago. Although, they come with a little change in the definition when it comes to you, and I hope you can figure out what it is. I'm sorry I took so long to say it and that it's not in person but, Zachary Goode, I love you.
-Cammie.
PS: Goodbye Zach
Zach's POV
I glared at her as she approached me.
"Zach, I –"
"Don't talk to me," I guess you could say I hadn't gotten over it still.
She frowned slightly but her face only displayed hurt. She pushed a letter gently into my hands, smiled a small, genuine smile, and walked away.
Walked once again out of my life will only a letter left behind.
Two O'clock in the Morning
Curiosity was never my strong suit. And I guess you can say that's why I'm still awake, staring at a letter that's already haunting me even though I have yet to read it. What the hell? I thought. I might as well read it. It will give me a newer reason to justify my anger with.
(Okay so I'm re typing the letter again so if you don't want to read it again go to the next bolded part and keep reading)

(Bold, bold, bold, bold! Keep reading on my fellow readers!)
There was another note in red pen. It had today's date written above it.
Dear Zach,
I guess I can tell you all the details now, since I'm giving this to you. I hoped I could just say it in person, but I'm almost positive you'll be angry with me.
Again like I said, I didn't write that letter. It was forged. I got taken by your mother. You can believe me or not but I do hold the answers.
Anyway, like I said before, your mother isn't exactly your mom. She's controlled by this disk in her head; it gets rid of any good/positive thoughts and makes dark, evil, one's like the ones she's known for now. Unfortunately there's no way to reverse it or change it, so don't get any hope. The only way to end it is to kill her.
But remember the good news? The one about your dad? Well, I know who your dad is. And well so do you. Joe. Mhmm that's right. Joseph Solomon is your real father.
Lastly, just because I want you to know I mean it, I'm going to say it one last time. I love you, Zachary Goode. Forever and always.
-Cammie
PS: I hope you won't always be mad with me. And that you'll believe this letter like the one I didn't leave last time.
And that's how I found myself at her door step, that and from the fact that she left it in her letter so I could reach her if needed.
I knocked on the door and waited until she opened it to slide my arms around her waist and say, "I love you too, Gallagher Girl."
And before she had a chance to even react, my lips were on hers, and fireworks were shooting off around me.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Basically I'm really sorry. I had a chapter all set and ready to go for as soon as I hit the 100 reviews mark, but then I changed it into a story (The Secrets of an Abusive Home) and that story was doing really well so I did the next chapter for that one, and then someone reviewed and reminded me I still hadn't updated this for your wonderful amount of reviews but I still needed an idea. So yeah, sorry. I hope you like it. YOu guys should check out my story (The Secrets of an Abusive Home) because that was going to be this one-shot until well, I made it a story so yeah. Sorry again.
Props for anyone who can tell my how many times I said sorry in this A/N I'll try to write another one this weekend to make up for it. Maybe even two if you guys review a lot. So yeah.
-Love, Katie
