Okay, to make this clear to everyone: I do not have a Beta, and I am very lousy at keeping my chapters mistake-free, as you all can clearly see. I've put this thing off for like, two months, and the people who reviewed, you know who you are, so here's the chapter! Oh, and has anyone read a story that kind of sounds like mine? It's none of you guys, but I read a story and it looks like they're using like, ALL of my ideas, so please get back to me on that! Enjoy the chapter!
p.s. if you have suspiscions, put it in your review, or message them to me. I appreciate them either way! Bye! Enjoy this chapter!
I jumped up from the bed and ran to the bathroom, where I puked for 5 minutes straight. When I was finished, I sat on the bathroom floor leaning on the wall panting. I slowly got up, using the wall as a support, and took tiny baby steps towards my room. I was weak all over, especially in my legs, and when I inhaled and exhaled, there was this weezing sound coming from my chest and my throat. My neck and chin were itching like crazy! I got about halfway to the door when I collapsed.
"Cammie, is that you?" Zach yelled somewhere from the house. He bounded up the steps, and was by me in a snap, picking me up and putting me back in my bed. "Were you just throwing up?" I nodded. He felt my neck and I swatted his hand away. He reached for it again, and I swatted it again. "Quit it, Cammie!" He tried again, and I swatted it again. "Stop!" He said. He tried one more time, and I swatted it harder. "Goddammit cut it out!" "Stop touching me!" I said with my weezy jacked up voice. "I'm trying to see what's on your neck! Now stop!" He felt around on my neck with close percision. Then he moved on to my chin.
He stood up straight again. "Okay, it looks like you have some sort of rash on your chin and your neck, and it's spreading down towards your chest. We can just leave it for a couple of days and see if it'll go away on it's own. If not, then I'll get some rash creme to fix it. As for the puking and sudden weakness, I'd say your just coming down with the flu."
I groaned and closed my eyes. I sat like that for 3 minutes before realizing that Zach hasn't left yet. I oppened my eyes and caught Zach staring at me. "Okay, thanks for the help and all, but I really think you should go." Zach kneeled beside me and took my hand in his. "Cammie, why are you acting like this? Did you not just hear what I said 10 minutes ago?" I pulled my hand away with the strength I had. "I heard you loud and clear. And I knew that you were lying."
Zach shoved himself off the ground, turned around and punched a hole in the wall behind him. "Cammie! What do I have to tell you for you to believe me? And what do you mean 'you knew that I was lying'? I. Was. Telling. The. Truth!" I was shaking my head slowly trying to not let myself cry again and get myself sicker. Didn't work. I was crying all over again. "No, Zach, you weren't. I know you weren't. How could you have been?" Zach was down by me again, with his hands on my cheeks. He was crying too. "Cammie," He kissed me. "Cammie, yes, you're right, I was lying, about her hypnotizing me. It was stupid, and I shouldn't have said it, but I had no choice, Cammie!" He kissed me again, and again. I removed his hands and a sob escaped from my mouth.
"You see Zach? Do you see why I can't love you back? First, you kiss another girl in our private place, and then you lie about it to my face! I can't take that, Zach! Why couldn't you have just been truthful about it?" I wiped a tear from his cheek, and as I did, he held my hand on his cheek. "I couldn't. It was too shameful." I removed my hand. "Zach, I don't know if I can ever trust you again. You know that, right?" Zach turned his head. "I can't be with you, Zach. Ever." Zach stood up, wiping his last tears off his face, and started pacing around.
"Why not, Cammie? I know I cheated on you as well as lied to you about it, but can't that be forgiven?" I looked at him. "No, Zach, that can't be forgiven! And even if it could, it would take months for me to forgive you!" He stopped and faced me. "So when the going gets tough the tough give up?" I wiped my nose. "Sure, we're in a pretty bad spot, but can't we just work through this? We're supposed to stay together through thick or thin, for better or for worse, through sickness, and through health. If months is how long it's going to take you to build up your trust for me, then that's what it takes."
I wiped my nose. "Zach, we're not married. And you can't expect me to just put my heart out on the line for you again after this whole episode! You've caused me to not trust you, and then you go ahead and make me label you as a liar. I'm not going to get my heart broken again, Zach. Staying with you equals broken heart."
There was a very long pause."We start going to school next week. I'll bring you some clothes tomorrow." He walked out of the room, and closed the door.
I turned over on my side and cried into my pillow.
Today is Wednesday and he still hasn't brung the clothes. I don't really care, because who needs clothes when you can stay home in your jammies? As long as I get them before we go to school, I'm coolio. Over the next 3 days I didn't leave my room. I don't really know is Zach did or not, but I'm guessing he must have to use the bathroom and stuff.
I didn't use the bathroom at all because I haven't had anything to eat. Plus, who needs toilets when you have the side of your bed to puke over? Okay, ugh, that's nasty, but hey, you can't blame me. Is the person with temporarily nonfunctioning legs supposed to get up and go to the bathroom just to puke? Yeah, I think not. But today was the end of that, because so far, I haven't puked, and I don't have rashes anymore!
But I do think that person needs to find a way to get some food, because her insides are going to eat themselves in a few more days. There was a knock at the door. "Zach." Zach said, letting me know who was knocking. "Come in!" I can talk to? God must really be at work! Zach came in, with a blank expression and at least ten bags of clothes.
"Here are your clothes. You're hungry, right?" I nodded furiously. He gave me a half smile."I thought so. Why didn't you call for me sooner to eat?" I shrugged. "Yeah, I should have called you to get me some food so I could puke it all back up. Silly me!" His expression went blank again. "Well, get dressed, then we can go." I tried to move my arms, but they didn't move. "Can't move my arms." He looked at me with an "Are you serious?" look on his face. "Are you serious?" Like he hasn't seen a girl half naked before. Cough, cough, Denise. Cough. "Yeah. Just, slip a shirt on me and some jeans. Then the socks, and shoes and all that."
Zach didn't waste anytime. He brought me a gray and white striped short sleeve shirt, took the dirty one off of me, and put in on. Next, he took my pants off and put on some jeans, socks, and blue Converse All Star Hightops. After that he scooped me up bridal style. "Hey, hey, hey, I can walk!" He rolled his eyes. "So why didn't you take 2 seconds to walk to the bathroom to puke? It smells like shit in here!" I squirmed. "Put me down!" He put me down, and I was about to collapse, when he grabbed me under the arms.
I pushed him off. "I got it!" I slowly recovered, and walked around. I looked back at him with satisfaction. "See? Now let's go." I walked in front of him and walked down the steps, very, very slowly. When I got outside, I went to the passenger side and waited for Zach to open the door. Zach walked over, oppened the door,and and I got in. He shut it, went around and got in, and we were off."We're going to McDonald's, where we're going to meet the new housemates." I nodded. The rest of the ride was silent.
When we got there, he came around and oppened my door again. I got out, and he closed the doors, locking the car. We went inside, then placed our orders, and Zach led us to a table with 4 people occupying it. BEX WAS ONE OF THEM!
She immediately spun around, and was out of her seat, and squashing me. "Cammie! Oh my gosh you do not know how glad I am to see you!" I felt a puke coming up. "Uh, yeah, I think I do," I kept fighting the urge. "Bex, I'm about to puke." She was off of me in a second. "Gross, I mean, I'm so sorry! Here, go sit down, meet everybody, and I'll get you a Sprite." As she passed Zach, she punched him in the gut, with him groaning, but not clutching his gut. I went and sat down next to Bex's seat.
"Zach? I remember my weak in the arms problem?"
"Here, let me help you with that." A tan arm pulled out the chair as I sat down. He pushed it in, and sat next to me. Zach sat directly across the table from me. He had the most amazing, softest, most serious brown eyes, with specks of sparkly blue in them, and his hair was cut very close to his head. He was mixed, with very light skin, a kind of creamish color. I like that.
He held out his hand towards me. "I'm Noah. You're Cammie, right?" I looked at my hand, then back at him. He realized what I was saying, and took my hand and shook it. "Sorry, I forgot about that." I smiled. "Yeah, I'm Cammie." I kept starring into his eyes. I know, it might freak him out or something, but I can't help it! They're just so dang addicting!
"And I'm Zach. Zach Goode." Zach said with a very threatning tone in his voice. Noah turned to him, and extended his hand.
"Watch your tone!" I mouthed to him. He slapped Noah's hands away from him. "Whoa man, did I say something?" I looked down at my lap.
"Yeah, you said hi to Cammie." I looked back up at Zach, pleading with my eyes not to start this crap. He didn't pay any mind to it. Noah looked at me, then back at Zach. "Are you guys going out or something? If you are, I can't steal her away from you by saying hi." I felt tears stinging at my eyes. If Zach wanted to start this, I want to finish it. "No, we aren't dating, and he needs to shut up about it right now." I got up and fast walked towards the door, barged into it with my side, and walked across the street towards the park. I sat under a tree and let the water show begin.
Okay, cool! I got it finished early! Sometimes it'll come early, others it'll be on the deadline. Mostly I read over it for any mistakes or parts that don't make sense or just to make it better. I hope you guys absolutely LOVED this chapter! Remember, the 30th chapter will be the last one, and then I'll start on with my sequel!
Bye!
