Disclaimer: I don't own anything! I'll try to update CIMMIM, but there's not enough time! Sorry. :)
I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
Zach stared at the man. How could that have happened?
Cammie stared at him. Her face paled when she saw the blood.
"No! Cammie!" But it was too late.
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?
(Change scenes. A few days later.)
"I don't believe you, Zach." Cammie said calmly.
"It was all so simple before." Zach muttered softly.
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
"Zach!" a voice called out after Cammie left.
"Macey?" he asked hesitantly.
"It's okay. You're still innocent. I'll convince her."
Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would seen what you know now then
(Change scenes. A few days later.)
He stared at the stars. Gallagher Girl, I'm sorry, he thought.
His heart was shattered.
Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?
(Flashback from Zach's POV)
Cammie giggled. She jumped forward to catch a firefly. I shouted, which caused it to fly away.
Later, we ran and ran until we couldn't run anymore. We fell asleep together in the meadow under the stars. But the nightmares still came.
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
(Change scenes. Continues from when Macey was talking to him.)
"Thanks, Macey."
"I know you've seen some horrible things. It isn't your fault. I know what having parents who don't really care is like."
"Yeah." Zach sighed.
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Am I innocent? Zach wondered.
"Yes." Macey reassured him, "You're not what you did, Zach."
Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
(Scene change. A year later)
Zach sighed as he thought about Cammie. She was special, that was definite. September was passing quickly.
Minds change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new
(Scene change)
"Zach," Liz said softly. She had learned to forgive him, too.
"It's too late. She doesn't believe me."
"No, you can start again."
"I don't think so."
"Zachary! Don't lose all hope! You had no choice!"
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
Bex walked in. Her eyes were on fire, "ZACHARY GOODE! Don't try and take even her best friends away from her!"
Liz said softly, "Bex, who he is is not where he's been. He's still innocent."
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
Softly, Liz repeated, "He's innocent."
"Not. to. me." Bex growled.
Macey walked over and started singing. YES. SINGING!
"Lost your balance on a tightrope
It's never too late to get it back"
Alright, now I'm guessing that was extremely confusing for you guys. So, basically, Zach killed someone that surprised everyone and made him seem like a murderer. He tries to tell them that he was acting in defense, but only Macey believes him. Later, Liz does too. They're trying to tell him that he's innocent and to start over. So…was that bad? Anyways, I might update again today, if not, then I will tomorrow to make up for the weekend. I was really busy.
