A/N: Here's the next chapter!
Me: Macey!
Macey: What? *sighs*
Me: Can you do the disclaimer?
Macey: No. Can I leave?
Me: No. And if you don't, I'll take you clothes and makeup and throw them into the Grand Canyon.
Macey: *Gasps in horror* You wouldn't!
Me: Do you really want to try me?
Macey: Fine. IamMe03 does not own the Gallagher Girls. Happy?
Me: Very.
Macey: I hate you.
Me: Love you too!
Cammie's POV
... Zach making out with a girl with dirty blond hair. I recognized her as one of the seniors but I didn't know her name. They had obviously been at it for a while since they looked pretty comfortable. Neither of them looked up when the door opened which hurt me even more.
"Wow Zach. You couldn't just have told me to my face? Instead I have to find out this way? Well then I'll just leave." There were tears streaming down my face but I didn't care. At the sound of my voice, his head shot up and he looked panicked. He started looking from that girl to me and back again, seeming to be confused. What about, I had no idea.
"Cammie? But- wait! No!" I had already ran out of the room; I didn't want to hear his explaination. I heard him get up and run after me, but I still had the advantage, I knew where I was going. As I sprinted down a hallway, I tapped a rock and a passageway appeared. I ducked into it and it slid closed. I followed it out until I reached my room's door. I burst in and my roommates eyes shot to me.
"What! Cammie what happened?" Macey exclaimed.
"Walked in... Zach... kissing another girl... ran away..." I said between sobs then I locked myself in the bathroom and barricaded the door. I couldn't face them now, I felt so humiliated. I heard Bex try to break down the door but Liz stopped her. I would have to thank her later. Then they all froze as someone knocked on the door. It was Zach. I could hear his voice even in the bathroom.
"Please Gallagher Girl! Let me explain! Please!" He was begging but all I could think of was him and that girl together. Liz opened the door before my mom and the teachers came down to our room. As soon as she did, Bex slammed him into the wall by the sound of it. I was still curled up in the bathroom; I didn't want to face them.
"There's nothing to explain." Macey said. Her voice was like steel. "There's only one question. Were you willingly kissing her back?"
"Yes." That one word shattered my heart.
"But it- it wasn't like that. She-" Liz cut him off.
"What Zach? She what? All that matters is that were kissing her back. She loved you and you hurt her." Her voice was quiet. He hurt me, he hurt me, he hurt me. I just didn't understand, I thought we were fine. I thought he liked me, even loved me. But I guess not. I saw the girl in the mirror, she was a pitiful sight. She had tears running down her face and her eyes were flat and lifeless. Her hair was average, her face was average, she was average, average, average!
I didn't want to look at her anymore, I didn't hear anything else from outside but I knew he hadn't left yet. I picked up the hairdryer anyways and, like I had already done once before, I threw it at the mirror and heard it shatter. I couldn't see my face anymore and I was glad.
"Cammie!" That was Macey's voice. "Cammie! Open the door!"
"No!" I wasn't thinking, it was like my body was detached from me. I watched as I reached out a hand and picked up a shard of glass.
"Gallagher Girl!" There was Zach. Then everyone started yelling.
"Cam! Cammie open the door!"
"No! I'm not going to! Just leave me alone!" I heard Bex talking but this time not to me.
"We could just wait her out. She has to come out sometime." I brought the glass up to my wrist.
"No,no. You don't understand. She might use the glass and..." It was like Summer Me was back. I wasn't thinking, I had no control.
"Oh no." I heard Bex. They all started trying to open the door but I had a couple more minutes.
"No! Please don't Gallagher Girl! Don't hurt yourself! Please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Come out! Don't... Please don't..." Everyone's shouts faded away as I put the glass to my wrist. I sliced once.
It was an interesting feeling. I couldn't feel the pain, just saw the blood coming out. I put it to my wrist again and made another cut. I was remembering all those months of torture. The beatings, the fake deaths of my friends and family, and Zach with that other girl. I made another slash. I couldn't control my own body. I pushed the glass to my other wrist but before I could cut, the door crashed down. I saw Bex there first and saw her taking in the situation. Then Zach. I could see his eyes. They were filled with pain and regret. He was the one who cheated! Once I thought that, I dragged the glass along my other wrist, making a deep, long cut.
I whimpered. I was finally starting to feel the pain. I dropped the glass and started backing up. There was blood on my wrists and I had cut myself. 'What did I do?' I thought.
"Come here Cam. We'll get you cleaned up." I heard Macey's voice. For some reason, I thought that she understood. Maybe it was her voice or her resigned expression but she understood. I took a cautious step forward. They grabbed my arms, making sure not to touch the cuts. They led me to the sink and cleared all the glass away. Then they brought a chair and sat me down and cleaned my wrists.
"It'll be alright Cam." I heard Liz's southern voice say to me. Macey finished wrapping up my wrists but I didn't move. I felt numb. Zach had been silent this whole time. He was staring at my wrists.
"Cammie... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."
"Then why did you? Why were you kissing her back? Why was your tongue down that girl's throat?"
"I- I thought it was you."
"What?"
"That girl. I thought it was you I was kissing."
"But didn't it feel different to you? Am I different to you? Or am I just another girl? Tell me Zach! Was it any different? Because I sure would be able to tell the difference between you and some other guy."
"But-"
"Just go Zach."
"No. Cam, please-"
"Just leave."
"I'm so sorry Cam." I just stared at the ground. I heard the door open and close.
"I'm sorry guys. I shouldn't have done that."
"Everyone has times when they feel powerless and they feel the need to do that." I heard Macey say. I looked up and met her eyes.
"You're allowed to be weak once in a while." Her eyes were understanding, all of them were.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed." I said, crawling under the covers. I fell asleep instantly.
