Zach's POV
I was going up to the roof to meet my Gallagher Girl. She said she had something important to tell me.
"Hey Gallagher Girl. What'd you need me for? Or you just had to make an excuse to see me?" I asked, smirking at her. I studied her face though and she was completely serious. I was getting worried.
"Are you okay?" She smiled at me.
"I'm fine. I needed to tell you that- that" She took a deep breath. "I love you." I froze. She loved me? No one could love me. I was a monster. My mother was the head of a terrorist organization after her. I loved her too. I was afraid she was going to run away if I said that though. I couldn't form any words, I just stood there. I wanted to say that I loved her too, but I couldn't for some reason. 'Talk!' I ordered myself. But my body didn't respond. I watched her walk away and there was nothing I could do about it. Stupid shock. When she left, I was still staring out over the town. After a while, I got out of my shock and walked back to my room. I needed to make it up to her. She must be so hurt.
Just as I was about to go to her room, my door opened and a girl walked in. She turned the lights off but not before I saw dirty blond hair. 'Cammie' I thought. She walked over to the bed and started kissing me. I was confused. Wasn't she mad at me? I wasn't going to object. It felt different kissing her this time but not a good different. It was weird and I had no idea why. Then the door opened, letting light in and I saw the girl's face. It wasn't Cammie! I wondered who opened the door and my heart nearly stopped when I heard Cammie's voice.
"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." I saw the tears streaming down her face. I caused her this pain. It killed me to know I was the reason she was suffering.
"Cammie? But- wait! No!" She ran out the door. I pushed the girl off of me and chased after her. I followed her until I came to a dead end and she had disappeared. She would have gone back to her room. I sprinted all the way there.
"Walked in... Zach... kissing another girl... ran away..." No! I was almost at her door when I heard her say that. She was sobbing. I heard a door lock and pounding but I didn't care. I had to explain to her. I pounded on the door, shouting.
"Please Gallagher Girl! Let me explain! Please!" I was so stupid. She must be in so much pain. Liz opened the door and before I had time to react, Bex had slammed me against the wall. I looked around the room but I didn't see Cammie. Then I saw the closed bathroom door. I heard her crying and it broke my heart.
"There's nothing to explain." Macey said, looking me in the eyes. She wasn't yelling but there was so much anger in her voice.
"There's only one question. Were you willingly kissing her back?"
"Yes." I was ashamed to say. "But it- it wasn't like that. She-" I needed to tell them why I did. I know I made a mistake.
"But it- it wasn't like that. She-" Liz cut me off. Yes, Liz.
"What Zach? She what? All that matters is that were kissing her back. She loved you and you hurt her." Her eyes were furious even if her voice was quiet. Little Liz, who rarely got mad at anyone. 'What did I do?' I thought. Everyone was quiet after what Liz said. Because it was true. Then I heard glass shatter from the bathroom; it was the mirror. Macey ran over to the door.
"Cammie! Cammie! Open the door!" Bex loosened her grip and then dropped me completely, going to join Macey and Liz by the door.
"No!" She shouted. Her voice was broken.
"Gallagher Girl!" I shouted but that was as far as I got until everyone started yelling.
"Cam! Cammie open the door!" We didn't care about how loud we were being, mainly because the walls were soundproof.
"No! I'm not going to! Just leave me alone!" She shouted, while sobbing.
"We could just wait her out. She has to come out sometime." Bex reasoned but Macey still looked horrified.
"No, no. You don't understand. She might use the glass and..." She trailed off. It took a minute for it to sink in with me. She wouldn't do that would she?
"Oh no." Bex said and I started pounding on the door again.
"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..." I trailed off while everyone else started yelling. I sunk down to the ground, burying my head in my hands. I promised myself I wouldn't ever hurt her. And I did. No. I wasn't going down without a fight. I was going to make it up to her. I stood up and walked right up to the door. I kicked it open and was planning on grabbing Cammie and explaining but what I saw made me freeze. She was holding a bloody piece of glass in one hand and the other… Her wrist was filled with cuts, bleeding heavily… She looked up right into my eyes and quickly looked away, making another deep cut. Then, she dropped the glass and started backing up until she hit the wall.
"Come here Cam. We'll get you cleaned up." Macey said. Her voice, I was shocked to hear, was understanding and comforting. They led her to the sink, clearing all the glass away and cleaning and bandaging her wrists while she just sat there. I could only stare.
"It'll be alright Cam." Liz tried to reassure her.
"Cammie... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." I finally spit out.
"Then why did you? Why were you kissing her back? Why was your tongue down that girl's throat?" Her voice was so quiet and wounded.
"I- I thought it was you." I said, but even as I said it, it sounded pathetic, even to me.
"What?" She looked up at me.
"That girl. I thought it was you I was kissing." I tried to explain.
"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." She was right. My heart felt heavy. I just ruined everything. I hurt her.
"But-" I tried to say something, I don't know what but she cut me off.
"Just go Zach." Her voice was emotionless.
"No. Cam, please-" I was begging now.
"Just leave." She refused to look up.
"I'm so sorry Cam." I said as I walked out the door. I walked numbly all the way to my room and I was glad that the girl had left. I collapsed onto the bed and finally let the tears fall. I started shaking but I didn't register it. I had messed up and now I was paying the price.
A/N: Poor Zachy... How will he get her back? Will he get her back? Keep reading! Review!
Zach: *comes back with red handprint* I hate you.
Me: That's not a very nice thing to say to a person who could just click a button and poor! Cammie's kissing Josh.
Zach: *glares at me*
Me: I don't think he's gotten the message yet...
Zach: Like you would ever put Cammie with Jimmy.
Me: Right now, he'd be a better choice than you.
Zach: Says who?
Cammie: Me.
Zach: ... I'm sorry!
Me: Doesn't look like saying sorry is helping.
Zach: Can you please leave?
Me: No. *walks over to computer* One day, Cammie goes into Roseville and sees Josh. She, still sad and mad about Zach, walkes right up and kisses him on the mouth. With tongue. While his hands are up her shirt. And she's pressed up a tree.
Zach: *plugs ears and smashes computer*
Me: Hey!
Zach: *walks away angrily*
Me: What's wrong with him?
Cammie: No clue. Your idea seems like something to consider though.
Zach: *yells from other room* NO IT IS NOT!
Me and Cammie: *bursts out laughing*
