Zach tore through the front door, just as Craig was stepping out of the kitchen and stormed up the stairs without even acknowledging him. "Zach!" Craig called after him. No answer.
Zach threw himself down onto his bed, putting his earphones in his ears and turned on his ipod. He was pissed off. How could Cammie do that? He trusted her.
Craig walked in a moment later to see that Zach was sprawled out on his bed, his music so loud Craig could hear all the lyrics himself from a distance from the headphones.
He sat in Zach's desk chair, "Zach!" Zach didn't answer.
So Craig got up, walked over to Zach and took the earphones out of his ears. Zach glared at him, "What do you want?!"
"I was talking to you." Craig started, "What's up with you?"
"Nothing, I'm fantastic!" Zach spat sarcasm dripping from each word he spoke.
"Is it Cammie?" Craig continued, ignoring Zach's negative attitude.
"It doesn't even matter." He huffed, slumping back on his bed.
"What happened?"
"She wasn't who I thought she was."
"And who did you think she was?"
"What are you my personal therapist?" Zach retorted.
"No I'm your uncle and I'm trying to help. So shut up, get off your high horse and let me help you."
"What can you do? You can't change the past."
"No. No one can, but I can help you with the future."
"What future?"
"Yours." He finished. "Now, answer my question from before."
"I thought she was different." Zach said, "But she's not. She's just like everyone else."
"Whats wrong with her?" Craig asked, "I thought she was wonderful when she came here."
"Yeah? Well I guess that was just our minds playing tricks on us, like they do."
"Maybe. Or maybe your misjudging her."
Zach scoffed, then turned away from Craig looking out the window.
"You should talk to her."
"I don't know if I can. She left me 10 voicemails, but I don't know if I can face her."
"Maybe she feels the same." Craig said, walking over to the door and opening it. "At one point though, you both have to face each other, and you can't wait it out forever."
Then Craig left, to leave Zach time to wonder his thoughts, to think about their just recent conversation. To think about Cammie, himself, them. He still loved her, how could he stop yet?
His phone rang again, he looked at the caller id and saw Cammies face flash onto the screen. 11 calls. He couldn't answer it. Could he? His hand inched towards the phone, then he pulled back, then reached, then pulled back. Then it stopped ringing and it went back to the phone menu. Well atleast he doesn't have to debate with himself anymore about whether he should answer it or not.
Luckily, tomorrow was spring break, right? A whole week he would have to think things over.

"Did he answer?" Macey asked. Cammie shook her head, looking down. Why would he? He hates her.
"Mace he hates me, he won't answer."
"He doesn't hate you! Here will I try calling him?"
"Yeah, okay. Go ahead." Cammie nodded.
Macey rolled her eyes, took her phone out and called Zach.
He answered within a few mintues, and Macey put it on speaker.
"Macey?" He asked, he sounded annoyed yet distraught.
"Yeah, hi Zach. I heard something happened between you and Cammie like yesterday."
"Yeah, I thought that she would have told you by now."
"No, I haven't seen her. I had family stuff, could you tell me? Cammie's not answering her phone."
"Um. Well I'll just say, she abused my trust with her."
"Oh. I'm sure she didn't mean to. I mean Cammie wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Well she hurt me, thats all I can say." He said.
Cammie felt an ache in her chest, and started to feel tears fill her eyes again.
"You should talk to her."
"I can't, why does everyone keep telling me this? I didn't do anything."
"Well, you need to reconcile."
"I don't know.."
"She loves you."
"I know she does."
"Do you not love her?"
"Of course I do, I've loved her all along."
"Then you should talk to her, she probably thinks you hate her right now."
"Why would I hate her?"
"What happened between you." Macey reminded him.
"I can't talk to her yet, Macey. I'm not ready." He said.
"Okay." Macey nodded. "Hey, oh. My sisters calling for me, I've got to go. I guess I'll see you at school next week then."
"Yeah, okay. Bye Macey." Macey hung up, then turned to Cammie.
"See, he still loves you." Macey reassured her.
"But I hurt him." Cammie sighed, sitting back on her bed.
"Listen, he'll probably say something when hes ready to talk. Just be patient until then."
"Okay." Cammie agreed, then sighed.
"Now, as a distraction to keep your mind of it, I'm going to take you shopping tomorrow, and your going to have a good time." Macey informed her.
"Yes, Ma'am." Cammie teased, laughing almost.
Macey smiled, "See I knew, I could make you feel better." She placed her hands on Cammie's shoulders, then hugged her, "Okay well I'll see you tomorrow then." She pulled away, then smiled again, then left.

"Grant called." Craig said, as Zach shuffled into the kitchen, and slumped down into one of the kitchen chairs.
"Yeah? What did he say?" Zach asked.
"He was asking if you wanted to go with him and few friends to the beach tomorrow."
"Oh, why didn't he just call my cell?"
"It might have died. But yeah he told me to tell you to call him back."
"Okay." Zach sighed, and picked up the phone, dialing Grants cellphone.
"Hey, man." Grant answered.
"Hey."
"You okay? I know about what happened."
"Doesn't everyone?"
"Hm. Anyway, yeah I told Craig that I invited you to the beach, but it's actually a party at mine, tomorrow. Want to come? I know it'll get your mind of her and everything. Just let loose for a few hours."
"Okay."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, I'll come. Sounds good." Zach said, "I'll be there."
"Awesome. It starts at 7, so yeah be here anytime."
"Okay, see ya."
"Bye, bro." Zach hung up, and put the phone on the kitchen table.
"So your going?" Craig asked.
"Yep."
"Sounds good."
"Why have you got plans?"
"Yeah actually, I'm going up to DC."
"For what?"
"It's my own friends birthday, so don't get into any trouble, because I'll be back tomorrow night, and I'll know."
"I won't."
"Good. Now eat." Craig said, placing Zach's dinner infront of him, then sitting opposite him, with his own. Zach scoffed, then noticed Craig smirk. Haha, they were pretty alike the two of them.

"Hey, Raine." Macey called out, shutting the front door behind her, and stepping into the living room where Raine sat, watching tv and doing her homework.
"Hey, Mace." She replied, looking up and grinning at her, then returning to her homework, whilst listening to Shake it up. "You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, just worried about Cammie." Macey sighed, collapsing down onto the couch next to her sister.
"What happened? Boy drama?"
"How did you know?" Macey asked, truely surprised.
"Oh you know, every teen seems to have it at some point, I guess it's Cammie's time now." She explained.
"You are one smart 6 year old."
"6 and a half." Raine chipped in.
"Yep, 6 and half." Macey laughed, then stopped, "I just hope Cammie's boy drama ends soon though."
"So do I. I mean, shes the best out of your friends, yeah my favorite! Shes so nice, and pretty to." Raine exclaimed.
"Yeah she is. I'm glad you like her, I'm sure she likes you to." Macey smiled; eventhough she hates the music on shake it up, it could never damper her happiness around Raine, she always knew how to cheer Macey up.
Now for Cammie and Zach to get cheered up..
Ah it's here. And there is a going to be some nice drama in the next chapter, that's all that I will reveal!
Oh and yes, I changed my name. I felt that it lacked originality, so I changed it to something different.
CHECK OUT MY POLL AS WELL!
