HEY GUYS! SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG, IT'S BEEN LIKE 4 DAYS! HERE IS THE LONG AWAITED MAKE OR BREAK MOMENT...
Chapter 22
Cammie's POV
When we walked down to breakfast the next morning all I could hear were rumours flying round. All we had told the girls yesterday was that me and Zach had broken up, now it was obvious that it hadn't been on the best terms.
"Cammie, Cammie," Tina called out to me then ran to me and said to me but everyone heard easily. "Is it true that Zach cheated on you with a town girl and then you caught him when you found a love letter from her in his room scented with roses and thanking him for a promise ring?!" She squealed excitedly.
"What?" I said looking at her totally dumbfounded.
"Is it true that-"
"No. Now shut up Tina before I do to you exactly what I did to Zach." Bex growled. Tina's eyes immediately showed fear as she scuttled off. I sighed then tried to pull Bex away before anything else happened. But then Macey turned around to everyone who was immediately whispering about what had just happened.
"Look. Zach and Cammie are not together at the moment, so shut up with all the God Damn rumours and mind your own, alright." She declared then turned and walked up to where I had dragged Bex.
"What are you getting Cam, French toast or fruit salad?" She asked completely normally.
"Um, I err, Fruit salad, please." I said trying to return to normal.
This was going to be a long day.
-PAGE BREAK-
That evening I sat by Zach's bed in the infirmary. He still wasn't awake but he would be soon. Previous Baxter generations had conducted numerous experiments and Bex said that what she had done would knock him out for around 28 hours; it had been 27 hours and 15 minutes and 34 seconds, since then. I just sat there, nervously twitching and fidgeting.
What was I supposed to say, when he woke up?
"Sorry, I let my best friend beat the living day lights out of you, but I thought that you had joined the terrorist group that your mum is in that is trying to kill me, but now I don't know. That is, I don't know if you're joining them, I do know their trying to kill me."
Yeah, I know, sounds great.
I watch him for 10 more minutes before I see him start to come round, obviously Zach is stronger then the previous Baxter choke hold 'guinea pigs'.
"Gallagher Girl?" It was more of a question.
"Yeah…" I said awkwardly, "Are you ok?" That was what I came up with. I can speak 14 languages and have a masters in English and I come up with are you ok! And who am I kidding, NO ONE is 'ok' after a Baxter choke hold.
"Well, I wouldn't say ok, I think alive, is a better category for me right now." He said with a grimace.
I look down guiltily. "Um, Zach, I've been thinking about how you keep trying to tell me things and how we ran off when we heard you through the door and yeah, I talked with the girls and Macey and Liz said I had to come and hear your side of the story…"
"Okay," He said then took a deep breath. "You have to promise me Cammie that you won't interrupt, just let me finish then you can say whatever, okay."
Zach's POV
"…okay" I asked.
She nodded looking nervous and anxious about what I was going to say.
"Look, here at Blackthorne its basically the breading ground for the circle. Nearly everyone here goes to the circle after graduation, if you don't you either pursue a normal life or get killed trying to join another agency."
She gulped but I continued.
"Now, Mr Howard has been asking me for ever to join as a sniper because he'll get credit for training a good knew assassin and I'm expected to join because of my mum."
I saw her eyes darken slightly probably thinking about how she had her own legacy too, which unless I took down the circle, would lead to her death.
"So, I was talking to Grant when you heard and I decided that I would join the circle, but as a mole. I would infiltrate them and destroy them from within. That way your safe." I finish it softly.
Now she looks scared, what's wrong I thought she would be happy that I didn't betray her!
"No, Zach! You can't join the circle, their evil! You could get caught and hurt and then it would be my fault."
"Hey, hey, no, are you seriously doubting my Goode skills?!" I asked trying to make her laugh. Her face stayed set.
"No, Zach please it's too dangerous."
"What and you being their number one target isn't? If I don't do this you could be dead within six months of you leaving Gallagher!"
She just stayed sat their, a tear fell from her eye as she sat shaking her head, defeated. I sat up gently and pulled her into a hug and she just cried as I held her.
"Its okay, Gallagher Girl, this way, you'll be safe."
*NEXT DAY*
Cammie's POV
I woke up in my bed happy, I had come back from Zach's room at around 2am and the girls had fallen asleep whilst watching a movie in the attempt to stay awake. Me and Zach had just talked. Not about, being spies, or the circle, or our lives in danger. It seems that for now we weren't ready to face that and we were simply going to rebuild the trust between us. I knew that Zach was upset that I hadn't trusted him and I was annoyed that hadn't believed in him too, but we put it behind us.
I noisily got out of bed and grabbed my uniform and went into the bathroom, I stayed in there until it was time to go down to breakfast and I put on my make up and did my hair. I unlocked the door and was surrounded by my girls.
"What happened?" Screeched Bex.
"Jesus, calm down Bex. It's all fine between me and Zach and now we have to go to breakfast and I will tell you everything with Zach in hear at 6:30pm with the boys too." I said abruptly.
"You do know that we could get it out of you so easily now." Macey said raising an eyebrow not willing to give this up yet.
"Yes, I do, but we have 5 minutes until breakfast and you have to all do your hair and make-up and if you delay that then you'll miss breakfast and then your stomachs will grumble through study hall and then Liz won't be able to revise for the COW test that we are having and she'll get annoyed that she only got 100% rather than 103%." I said in one massive breath.
"Fine." Said Macey through gritted teeth and then pulled Bex and Liz into the bathroom.
5 minutes later we ran down to the dining hall and skipped in so we weren't too late. I could taste the tension as we went in and saw Zach sat at our table. Everyone was looking between Zach and I like a tennis match but I tried not to pay attention. We grabbed food and then I walked towards our normal table, the girls followed unsure of what to do.
Zach looked over his shoulder at me and smirked, I smiled at him and then sat down next to him and he wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Hey Gallagher Girl, good sleep?"
And with that little scene everyone had more that enough to talk about for the rest of the century!
