We were able to go into town this weekend but it didn't make up for the tense atmosphere.

Zach held my hand tightly as we walked along the busy streets of Roseville.

People regarded us as high and mighty and chose to ignore us; which was fine by me. As long as no on e tried to mess with us we would be fine.

Of course trouble showed up.

"Well, well, well; if it isn't Cammie Morgan."

Zach and I spun around to see Dillon and Josh.

I took in a sharp breath as I took in Josh.

He was taller and had filled out. His arms had toned muscles (nothing compared to Zach's though) and his hair was cut short. He looked hot.

"Hello Dallas…Jimmy," Zach smirked jokingly, but his tightening grip on my hand showed he was beyond mad.

Dillon scowled. Josh was staring at Zach with such intensity it was like he was trying to burn a hole through to his soul.

"How is our little liar doing," Dillon turned his attention to me, stepping closer, ignoring the growl escaping Zach's lips. "Did you lie to this kid about your life to get him too Gallagher Girl?"

From Zach the nickname was cute and endearing.

From Dillon it was heart wrenching. I choked a little.

"Back up," Zach demanded as Josh muttered "Dillon stop."

"Josh, this is the girl who played with your emotions; I think she deserves a taste of her own medicine," Dillon reached forward to either slap me or something but Zach was quicker.

He pushed me behind him and punched Dillon square in the jaw.

Dillon collapsed to the ground.

Josh stumbled back as Zach zeroed in on him.

"Zach," I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

People were starting were staring and the last thing I wanted to happen was Zach taking out the very important pharmacist's son. Zach finally pulled away from me and ran.

I stared down at Dillon and then looked up at Josh.

"I'm sorry Cammie," he whispered.

I smiled.

"It's okay."

I pulled Dillon up easily and hooked his arm around Josh's shoulder.

"Your boyfriend's dead Cameron," Dillon spit. I laughed.

"I think he can handle you."

Josh smiled briefly and then walked off with Dillon.

As soon as they turned the corner, I took off in the direction Zach went.

[{Five minutes later}]

"Zachary."

He opened his eyes, studied my crossed arms, and then closed his eyes.

"Cameron."

I slapped his firm stomach and his fingers closed themselves around my wrist.

"What do you think you're doing," I demanded.

"Sun tanning," he said simply.

We were in the gazebo where we did brush passes and he was leaning on his elbows on the fountain stairs. People stared but I ignored them.

"What are you doing," I rephrased my question.

"Focusing on you so I don't go kill Dillon."

I laughed.

"What? Do you find my struggle amusing?"

I sat next to him and copied his position.

"No, I don't. I've been dealing with Dillon for a year now. He seems to be in town whenever I come in."

"Then why are you laughing," he sat up and turned to me.

"Your possessiveness is amazing. Your protectiveness is impossibly….protective," I couldn't think of another word. He gave me a weird look. "I have to be possessive Cam. You attract danger like fleas to a dog and you obviously don't see yourself as I do."

"What do you mean?" He sighed.

"When I look at you I see a beautiful, intelligent, kick butt girl whom I love to pieces. You are dangerous and seem intent on getting yourself killed. I have no choice but to be protective and possessive," he mumbled the last part.

I bit my lip and smiled. I threw my arms around his neck and sighed "I love you Zachary Goode."

"I love you too Cameron," he hugged me back.

"What no last name?"

He chuckled.

"I'm thinking of changing your last name later if that's okay with you."

My heart seemed to jump into my throat.

"What?"

He kissed my forehead, nose, and then lips.

He let his lips linger on mine and then pulled back.

"I'm thinking of changing your last name if that's okay," he smiled.

I nodded furiously and whispered "I can't wait."
