Cammie's POV:
When I woke up Zach had gone but he came back later that day.
"Hello Gallagher Girl, are you ready for our date?" He asked.
I smiled, "Zach I'm not allowed to leave."
He smirked at me, "Well just get out of bed."
He handed me a stack of clothes and I carefully walked into the bathroom to change. When I came back out he took my hand, "Come on I am taking you on a date."
I was about to protest but he started walking. The nurse at the front desk just nodded at us.
"Zach how did you convince them?'
He just smirked at me.
We walked out of the school and into the forest a little ways and then he stopped in front of a tree.
"You know how I told you you should always look out for secret passageways?"
I nodded.
"Well you have barely found any."
He smirked and leaned against the tree knocking against one of the branches and the tree moved revealing a staircase that lead down.
I laughed and we started walking down the staircase. Zach went in front of me because the passageway was narrow and stopped in front of a room, opened the door and walked inside.
I followed him and inside there was a table nicely set with candles. I looked around the room and there was a little kitchen to the left and to the right a little sitting room with a tv and couch, it looked almost like a little bedroom.
"What is this place?" I asked.
He smirked, "It's just a little place I came upon one time."
I walked around the room, "It's amazing."
He actually smiled at me, "Come on lets have dinner."
I went and sat down at the table and Zach joined me, "For dinner I have made linguine carbonara and later I made a special dessert."
"You made this?"
His smirk appeared back on his face, "Yes."
"Woah, it's amazing" I say taking a bite.
He smiled at me, "Of course it is."
The rest of dinner was amazing, and Zach had even made dessert.
Zach got up took the plates and went to the sink to start washing, I walked over to help.
"Thank you Zach."
He smiled at me and we started washing together.
We finished and I walked over to dry my hands, Zach ran up behind me and hugged me from behind. His hands were soaking wet and left big hand prints on my stomach.
"Hey" he whispered.
I turned around smiling at him, and kissed him. He immediately started kissing me back and pulled me closer to him while I put my hands in his hair.
We were still kissing when we heard the door open. Zach pulled away from me and I turned around, he kept his hands on my hips though.
"What the hell" Zach says.
It was Grant, Nick and Jonas. They all stood by the door smiling at us.
"Well we came here to see how dinner was going but it looks like it's going mighty fine." Grant says.
Nick and Jonas laughed, "The two lovebirds."
I turned to Zach and both of us were blushing.
"Anyways," Grant says, "We actually came down here to tell you that Mr. Solomon is on his way to go and check on Cammie so I suggest you take her back to her hospital room."
Zach looked at me, he looked scared.
"Why didn't you tell me in the first place, now he's going to kill me!" Zach was yelling.
Grant just smirked.
Zach grabbed my hand and started pulling me along, out of the room and into the secret passageway.
It was too narrow for both of us to walk alongside each other so he dropped my hand, "Follow me."
He took off running and I tried my hardest to keep up with him but it was hard considering I'd been in the hospital for a couple of days.
We ran for about five minutes when he stopped, it took me a couple seconds to catch up to him but then he pointed to the wall above our heads, "Secret passageway."
He opened it and both of us climbed in, when I was firmly on the ground I looked around and saw we were behind the nurse's desk.
"How did you know?" I asked.
He just smirked and we stood up and walked into my room.
Mr. Solomon was sitting on the bed.
"Hello you two, would you like to tell me where you have been?"
Zach got really really pale, no smirk anymore.
"Joe I'm sorry," I began but was cut off.
"Cammie no excuses for you, I would like to hear this from Mr. Goode."
Zach got almost more pale, "Sir, I." He did not continue.
"That's what I thought."
He turned to look at me, "Cammie I do not want you to be going anywhere alone with Mr. Goode anymore."
I began to protest but he kept talking.
"Tonight is something that I cannot have happen again, and I'm sure your mother would say the same thing."
"But my mom and da-"
He kept talking, "That is enough young lady you are to get back into this bed and let the doctors check you and Mr. Goode, hallway, NOW!"
I looked at Zach and tried to smile, I felt bad for him.
I sat down on the bed and a nurse came in handing me scrubs to change into.
She started checking everything and I could hear Joe yelling, poor Zach.
The nurse finished looking at all the different screens and turned to me smiling, "Hunny I think you are all good. Just sleep here tonight, we will check you out once more in the morning and then you can leave."
I smiled at her, "Thanks."
"Would you like me to tell Mr. Solomon?"
I nodded.
She walked out of the room and I heard the yelling stop, maybe this would be a good sign.
The next morning just as the nurse had promised she came into the room and started checking all the monitors again.
After she had told Joe and Zach both of them I think had left because I did not hear anymore yelling and neither came in the room to say anything.
The nurse walked over to me, "Well it looks as if everything is fine but I would like to check on you in say a week?"
I nodded and she handed me a stack of clothes. I walked over to the bathroom and changed.
When I walked out the nurse was there holding the door open, "Well Ms. Morgan you are free to go."
I smiled at her, "Thanks." And walked out.
I walked into the waiting room and Zach, Grant, Nick and Jonas were all sitting there waiting. When the saw me they stood up and walked over giving me a big hug.
"Glad to see you doing better," Jonas said.
Nick smiled and Grant gave me another hug, "I'm happy to see you walking again."
Zach handed me a bagel.
"Thanks," I whispered looking down.
He nodded and we all walked out of the infirmary.
As we walked down the hallways everyone turned to look at me, maybe they didn't expect me to recover so soon.
We stopped by our room and I ran in and grabbed my books, there was no time to change my clothes so I was going to go to class looking like a normal human being for once instead of a prisoner.
The classes went by slowly and I could feel everyone in the room staring at me, normally I got some stares but not this many.
By the third class I was getting tired of all the looks and I leaned over to Nick, "Why is everyone staring at me so much today."
He lightly laughed, "You look hot," he whispered.
I looked down at what I was wearing, it looked like a Macey inspired outfit. I had on a tight fitting shirt that cut down so you could slightly see my boobs, really nice shorts, converse and I had actually done my hair today. I guess I did look nice, or at least nicer than usual. But this, this was awkward.
The rest of the day was strange, I felt all eyes on me.
We went back to our room that night and started our homework. I had almost none and finished it really quickly so I just decided to lay on my bed and watch them.
Grant turned around laughing, "Stop staring Camster."
I smiled at him and kept starting.
"Alrighty then, I'm going to go take a shower why don't you stare at your boyfriend?"
He laughed and walked out of the room.
Things had changed between Zach and I after Joe had gone and talked to him, he had barely said a word to me.
"I'm gonna go with him," Zach said.
Jonas and Nick shortly followed, all the boys took showers in the big bathroom and I got a shower to myself in another room.
They left for awhile and I sat on the bed staring off into space.
I spaced out for quite a bit until I hear someone walk into the room. I looked up and saw Grant and Zach, both of them looked rather grumpy.
I smiled at them, "Hey."
Zach didn't look up but Grant smiled a weak smile. Both of them were shirtless and I had to smiles, but they didn't look back at me.
Nick and Jonas walked in a few minutes later and Zach gave them a strange look and walked out of the room.
When the door was closed I sat up, "What's wrong with Zach?" I ask.
All of them exchange a look.
"Guys, please."
Still no answer, I lie back down and close my eyes.
After a while Grant speaks up, "Cammie I'm sorry but we really can't tell you what's going on."
I sigh, "Okay."
Zach's POV:
I feel bad doing this but there is nothing else I can do. That night when Cammie was still in the infirmary and Mr. Solomon and I had walked out of the room, a lot had gone down.
"Zach what were you and Cammie doing?"
"I took her on a nice date."
"Oh you did, should I believe you Mr. Goode?"
"I don't really see why you should not."
He looked like he was going to laugh, "Are you kidding me. Should I pull out your school record, remind you who your mother is? Or how about we look at the reason at why you were even sent here in the first place."
I didn't say anything, this was going to be bad.
"Mr. Goode I have no evidence here to prove that you are even a good guy, I would stop while you are ahead."
I nodded.
"Since you took my Cammie out without me knowing I say three weeks of detentions? And how about an extra month for dating her in the first place."
I wanted to protest, but this was not the time or the person to do it with.
"And Zachary no more dating Cammie."
He turned to walk away.
"But sir."
He stopped but was still turned away from me.
"Sir I love her."
He marched right over to me, "What did you just say?"
"I l-l-love her."
Mr. Solomon looked like he might explode.
"I do not want to hear another word mister, you are forbidden to talk to her."
"Sir we live in the same room."
"Oh Zachary, I think things are going to change soon."
That night after talking to Mr. Solomon I had gone and told the guys, they didn't have much to say except that I should listen to Mr. Solomon.
Until I find a good way to say it, I am fully avoiding Cammie.
Grant's POV:
I feel bad for Zach but I do not see a way right now to avoid Mr. Solomon's wrath. Zach decided he is going to avoid Cammie but I also do not think that that is a good idea.
"Hey Zach have you made a plan yet?" I ask as we walk to the P&E barn.
"No," he grunted.
I shrugged and we walked into the barn.
"Okay, today we are going to go off in pairs and spar. The partner listings are on the board."
I walked over to look:
Nick-Jonas
Zach-Cammie
Oh gosh, poor Zach. I patted him on the shoulder, hopefully he'll be okay.
Grant-Thomas
Wow this is going to be fun, Thomas is the tallest guy here and he is just as good as Zach and maybe even better. I'm going to end up with so many bruises.
"Okay shake hands with your partners. Good, now begin."
"Hey Grant you ready for a beating?" He asked.
I gulped, "Bring it on Thomas."
We started throwing punches and I could hear Cammie yelling, she and Zach were right by me.
"-Zach you need to tell me!"
"Cammie I already told you I can't."
Right then Thomas threw a punch that I was not expecting right at my head, ow.
"Zach please, I'm giving you a chance to tell me right now."
I looked over real quickly and I saw they had stopped fighting. Cammie was crying and Zach looked angry.
"Please tell me Zach."
"Cammie I told you, I can't."
A bunch of tears escaped her eyes, "Zach I thought you were better than that." She turned and walked out of the room.
Thomas had stopped trying to hit me and was just staring at me.
"What's up with them?"
I just stared at him, "It's none of your business."
He smirked, "Yeah? Well maybe I'm interested in a pretty girl who has a pretty bad boyfriend."
I punched him square in the jaw, he didn't even try to stop me.
"Don't insult my friend."
"Don't go around making enemies, anyone of us can have Cammie."
Zach walked up to him, "Don't you dare say that. So what if we had a fight, I know we both still like each other."
"Well what if someone was to get in the way of that?" Thomas asked smirking.
"Don't you dare."
Both of them started throwing punches and the teacher ran over.
"You two are not partners and I said to fight with your assigned partner. Now lets see, I say both of you detention for the rest of the week in my office."
Both of them grunted and walked away, class was over.
"Hey Zach, what's up?"
"Dude I don't know how to tell her and now she is so mad at me."
"I saw."
"Well I don't know what to do and it's killing me."
Zach walked over to the wall and punched it.
"Bro don't go taking it out of the wall, your going to hurt yourself more."
"Well I don't even care anymore, Cammie probably hates me and now some other guy is going to go after her."
"Well you don't know what she is going to say."
"She will probably just say yes to get back at me."
I shrugged, "Hope for the best."
We walked in silence for awhile.
"What do I do if she is in the room?"
"Well you can either ignore her or you can go and try and make it right."
He sighed, "I'm going to try."
We walked into our room and I breathed a sigh of relief that Cammie was not in there. Zach needs to get his head on straight before he tries to talk to her.
Nick and Jonas walked in shortly after us. Jonas had a few major bruises but Nick looked just fine, I guess this is why Jonas does not do much field work.
"Hey what happened earlier?" Jonas asks.
"Cammie is mad at me," Zach replied.
Nick made and "oh" face and didn't say anything. Most times it is better to avoid Zach when he is in his moods..
Cammie's POV:
I can't believe Zach. I gave him a chance to tell me what was going on and he didn't take it. What type of guy would not take the chance when they had it? I can't believe him!
I walked up to Joe's office, I have a feeling he has something to do with it.
"Joe?" I say as I walk into his office.
"What is it Cammie?"
He is sitting at his desk and looks like he is grading papers.
"Do you happen to know why Zach is avoiding talking to me?"
He shrugged, "No, why?"
I went and sat down in one of the chairs, "I don't know. I really don't know anymore Joe."
He sat there thinking for a minute, "Did you ask him?"
I felt a tear run down my face, "He wouldn't tell me."
"Oh, I'm sorry hunny."
He walked around his desk and gave me a hug.
"Are you going to give him a chance?"
"That was his chance."
"So you are done?"
"I think so." I started crying harder.
Joe hugged me till I stopped crying.
"You going to be okay?"
I nodded, "I think so."
"Come find me if you need anything."
"Thank you Joe."
He smiled, "Anytime."
I walked out of the room and started walking down the hall, and Thomas started walking with me.
"Hey."
I smiled at him, "Hey."
"Are you okay?"
"Uh yeah, why do you ask?"
"Oh I saw you and Zach argue and I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
I nodded at him, "Well thanks."
"And one other thing."
We were right in front of my room and I wanted to go insideā¦"Uh what?"
He looked at me and then pushed me fast and hard against the wall and started kissing me. It felt all wrong, nothing like Zach.
He pulled away from me, winked and walked away.
I turned to walk into the room and I saw the door was open, Zach was standing there looking at me with tears running down his cheeks.
"Zach I-"
He just started shaking his head, "Please don't Cammie, please don't."
I just looked at him and he walked past me.
I walked right into the room and Nick, Grant and Jonas looked up at me.
"What happened?" Nick asked.
"Thomas kissed me."
All of them exchanged a look and Grant stood up, "I'll be back in a minute."
He walked out of the room and Jonas and Nick sat there ackwardly staring at me.
"Why'd he kiss you?" Nick asked.
"I don't know."
"Why'd you let him?" Jonas asked.
I don't know and I started crying.
"Oh Cammie, we're sorry." Nick walked over and stuck his arm around me.
"Guys I'm okay, I think I'd just like to go to bed right now."
I stood up and wiped my eyes, hopefully things would be better in the morning.
Zach's POV:
When I walked out of the room that was not what I had wanted to see. I can't believe Thomas would do that, I can't believe Cammie would do that. I was hoping that what we had was just a fight but suddenly everything is real.
Mr. Solomon had told me things around here were going to change soon but I didn't think he meant like that. But now I am forbidden to talk to her and she is probably with another guy.
I had detention for so long, first I had to go tell Mr. Solomon that I was going to the P&E barn for detention and he laughed but told me afterwards I still had detention with him.
Thomas was most unfortunately also in detention with me. He had a bunch of his buddies with him and was telling them how he had won Cammie over. I was ready to go over there and punch him but the teacher looked up and told them to be quiet.
Two hours later I was in Mr. Solomon's office, alone. He looked up at me as I walked in and told me I was to help him grade papers, he handed me a giant stack.
"These are the recent tests you all just took. I would like each one of them graded and then you may leave."
"But Mr. Solomon there are about two hundred papers."
"Well then Zachary, you better get to work."
He handed me the test with all the correct answers and I started grading. It wasn't hard to do but it was tedious work.
I looked up at the clock, it was one am. Three more tests to grade. I looked to see whose they were and one was Cammie's, I gulped, I wish we were still happily together.
I quickly finished grading and showed Mr. Solomon the tests.
"Very well you may go now," he said.
I nodded and walked out of the room.
I got up to my room and carefully tiptoed inside, none of them would be awake. I was going to go straight to my bed but I stopped in front of Cammie's. She looked so beautiful.
"Hey Zach."
I jumped a little, "Grant what are you doing awake?"
He smirked, "I heard the door open."
I nodded.
Grant looked serious all of the sudden, "Zach are you okay?"
I shrugged.
"Well if it makes you feel better Cammie was talking to us after you left and she doesn't know what to think of Thomas, you might still have a chance."
"Really?"
He nodded, "Yeah, all he did was kiss her nothing else has happened, yet."
"I have to win her back don't I?"
"Yeah but don't lose hope."
I smiled at him, "Thanks."
"Yeah, night."
"Night."
I laid down in my bed, I think I knew the perfect way of winning her back...
