Liz called me.
"I need to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"We've been hiding it for about two years now."
"And?"
"Your dad is alive. We found him two years ago."
I dropped the phone. My dad, presumed MIA and then KIA is alive.
"Cammie? Are you... Still there?"
"Did Zach know about this? And Bex and Macey and Grant and Jonas and Preston?"
Her silence confirmed the answer. I hung up and walked straight to my bedroom, where Zach was watching TV. "Need anything, Cam?"
I glared at him and stood by the door, arms crossed. "So this was the secret you've been hiding from me." He tilted his head and stood up, walking towards me. He slid his hands up and down my arms. "What secret, Gallagher Girl?" I shoved him away. "MY DAD IS ALIVE! AND YOU HID IT FROM ME?" I yelled at him. His eyes widened. "How... Did you find out?" I was red with anger. "Liz. What the hell happened to 'no secrets', Zach?" He shook his head. "Cammie, you have to understand-"
"No!" I shouted. "I don't understand! Why would you hide the fact that my dad is alive?" He looked down at the ground. "Your dad-" He was cut off by five knocks on the door. "Mommy? Daddy?" It was Morgan.
I opened the door. "Mommy, why were you and daddy yelling at each other?" I sighed and picked her up, sitting down on the bed. "Daddy kept a big secret from mommy for a really long time." Her eyes widened and she looked at Zach, shaking her head. "It's not nice to keep secrets," she said. Zach walked over and sat down next to her. "But you see, Morgan, there are some secrets you have to keep so you won't hurt people. That was the kind of secret I had." Morgan turned to look at me. "Mommy, you should listen to daddy's reason. Daddy, you shouldn't keep big secrets for a long time from mommy." She hugged me and then hugged Zach before he carried her back to her room.
We sat in silence on the bed. "Your dad was the guy who kidnapped you and took you to Josh. He shot you... That was why I didn't tell you," he explained. "My own dad... Shot me?" Zach moved closer and put an arm around my shoulders. "He was basically brainwashed. I hope you understand-" I hugged him. "I do. But please, no secrets?" He nodded. "No secrets." I kissed him and we walked to Morgan's room together, to tell her we had made up.
But she was sleeping.
Short. A little cute. I'm actually working on developing three different stories for release right now... And Stronger is still on hiatus... And thank you to Guest, one of those stories is a crossover
Here's a little reason why I haven't been writing as happy things as usual. Another one of those stories I'm working on is pretty angsty. And I wanted to get into character... But anyways, no excuses. I'm probably going to continue on this story until I find a good place to stop and end it, may it be here or somewhere in the future. Bit thank you for reading my story for this period of time. RFRF =)
