Wake Up Zachy: A One Shot Series

Chapter 36

Like There's No Tomorrow

Background: Only book 2 happened and then after graduation Zammie was back and there came to a little rift.

* Not My Usual Zammie *

"Why were out late home, Cam?" I asked as soon as she walked through the door. "Director said you finished your mission days ago. Bex has been home with Grant for days and said she couldn't tell me where you went." I asked wrapping her in my arms. "I missed you."

"Why were you with that slut?"

"Cam," my voice called out week as she pulled away from me tears streaming down her checks. "I didn't I swear. Those pictures are fake." I promised tears threatening to fall out of my own eyes.

"I can't Zach . . . you keep hurting me. I can't . . . I can't do this anymore, Zach. It's not fair to my heart." She whispered.

"I know," I answered with a shaky breath.

Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen.
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good.

"Cam," I whispered after a while of us just sitting here. "I promise I'll go . . . but can I get one night to say goodbye?"

She nodded her head and I wrapped her in my arms. "One last night."
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you.
You're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no…

My eyes closed as I leaned in to taste her kiss for what might be the last time of my life. Savoring the moment, I kissed her slowly, taking all the time I need.

Tomorrow I'll be stronger.
I'm not gonna break down and call you up when my heart calls out for you.

And tomorrow, you won't believe it,
but when I pass your house,
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to.
"Cam," I whispered against her face, as she gave me a hesitant look at what we were doing, "I promised, I'll be the rock here. I won't try to get you back but please . . ." I trailed off assuming she knew what I meant.

She didn't say anything, so I slowly leaned my head down to meet hers, pulling her legs onto my waist and tumbling into the bed.
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you.
You're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow.
"I love being with you, Gallagher Girl," I whispered to her sleeping form as I grabbed my pants from the ground. "But I don't want to hurt you."
Baby when we're good, you know we're great.
But there's too much bad for us to think that there's anything worth trying to save.

"Maybe I'll see you one day, Cam." I said as I grabbed my coat and gave one last look around the room.

But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you.
You're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no…

"Where are you going," she whispered as she sat up.

I smiled sadly at her. "I told you I'd go."

"I don't want you to," she said and my heart was going Hallelujah, Hallelujah but my mind told me to stop.

"I love you, Cam, but,"

Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.

"It's better for me to leave, for there to be no us. I told you'd I'd go like you asked. Don't make it any harder than it already is."

She smiled sadly, "I love you too Zach."

"Goodbye, Gallagher Girl,"

"Goodbye, Blackthorne Boy."
