Chapter 23: For the First Time [The Script]

"Hey," a voice called from the doorway. I turned my head toward the door, only to find Zach standing there.

"Hey," I said. He walked over to my bed and sat down. I smiled sadly, still not knowing of any bond we had. He looked at my IV.

"You know," he said, "They're giving you medication that will help you remember your life." He smiled, and then added, "And me." I laughed. He grabbed my hand, and held it tight in his.

"You know," I said, "If I could only remember one thing from my life" I looked up into his eyes, "It would be you." He smiled and leaned down to my ear. I shivered involuntarily. Then suddenly I froze.

"Cammie?" he asked, worried.

"I know you like it," I recalled. He looked at me like I had six heads. I smiled, "That's what you said to me the day with the two way mirror. I remember." He grabbed me, and held me close.

"That's great, Cams!" he said, smiling. "Remember anything else?" he asked curiously.

"Is there something you want me to remember?" I asked, smug. He rolled his eyes, and I smiled. "There is something you want me to remember! What is it? What is it? Tell me!" I commanded, way too excited. He smiled.

"You don't remember that day, Gallagher Girl?" he asked. I concentrated hard, trying to recall where I had heard that.

"Vaguely," I said distantly, "Did I seduce you that day?" He laughed.

"No," he said between fits of laughter, "But you came really close. Just don't tell Joe." He put a finger to his lips.

"Tell Joe what?" a voice called from the door. I looked around Zach and saw Joe in the door frame.

"Nothing," Zach and I said simultaneously. We looked at each other and laughed. Joe looked at Zach, then at me, obviously confused.

"Joe," I began, "Did Sydney ask where I went?" Joe looked confused, and then his face lit up.

"You remember Sydney?" he asked. I nodded.

"Of course," I said, "she's my best friend." Zach smiled, and looked at Joe.

"She's remembering quite a lot of things," Zach said. Joe nodded.

"So Cammie," Joe said sternly, "What do you remember about me?" I shook my head.

"Nothing," I said. His face fell, "Except how annoying you are. Calling me every single hour. And you," I turned to face Zach, "You tricked me. You said you were new, but you weren't new. You kidnapped me!" I turned back to Joe, "AND YOU TOLD HIM TO!" Joe and Zach looked at each other, guilty. I smiled knowingly. Joe turned to me.

"You wouldn't have left willingly," he said. I shook my head.

"If you told me it was to keep me safe," I said sharply, "I would have done whatever you wanted. If you told me I was a target of an international terrorist group," I said, sighing and looking at my feet, "I would have gone." My voice faltered, and silent tears began to roll down my cheeks. I looked up at Zach and Joe, "Where are my parents?" They exchanged a glance, and had an eye conversation that I couldn't quite follow.

"Hello Joe," a deep voice called from the door, "Zachary," he paused and then looked at me, "Cameron."

"Matthew," I replied, causing everyone to look at me in shock.

Cammie's memory is returning, but Zach is worried because she knows things she wasn't told, and doesn't remember the ball...

Keep Reviewing! :) :)

"Joe," he stated, placing a hand on his best friend's shoulder, "What happened? Why is she clarifying that she lived with you?"
