I'm so excited! It's my birthday tomorrow. Epp exciting! So whoever said that they see Catherine high five to you! Enjoy and have a good weekend.
When we all looked up we saw her. Catherine. She was walking towards us.
"Cammie, it's so nice to see you again. And I can see the bump has come along nicely. I wonder if you have seen my new husband. His name is Thomas Templeton." We all gasped.
"No, NO. You're dead. You can't be married if you are dead. You can't be married to him. He said he would protect my girls from the likes of you." Cammie was shaking, hard.
"Where is Zachary, dear? Has he left you?" I could see someone running towards us from a distance but I was too focused on Cam.
"How about you fuck right off and go get yourself a make-over and come back a new person. STOP TRYING TO KILL MY BEST BLOODY FRIEND!" Macey jumped up and started shoving Catherine around. Lots of our girls began to try and look at us wondering what was going on.
"Macey, dearest, I am not going to kill Cameron. You are a stupid girl if you think that. I just want my son to love me and to know my grandchild, even if that means taking that child away from their parents."
"Catherine."
"Grant, it has been a long time since I have seen you. How are you? I hear you are with Rebecca and are having a baby."
"Bex you're having a baby?" Liz and Mace both asked me. I nodded.
"I was going to tell you tonight or tomorrow while we were at Blackthorne because it was were Grant was from."
"Now then you see that has just gone and pissed me off some more and if you know so much then you should know better than to piss of Macey McHenery!" Macey ran and tackled Catherine to the floor.
MPOV:
I stopped mid tackle. I felt something cold on my stomach. It felt like a knife.
"NOOOO please don't!" Cammie was up on her feet and trying to pull me away but she wasn't quick enough.
"Arghhhh!" The knife was shoved into my stomach. I was turned over and put my hands over my wound to keep pressure on it. Everything began to go black. I knew it couldn't let it. I tried to fight it but I wasn't strong enough.
CPOV:
I got down by Macey. Catherine got up and ran down the beach. Bex tried to go after her but Liz held her back.
"Please Macey please don't leave me you are my best friend. Macey what about Preston? What do I tell him? Please Macey just wake up." I sobbed and sobbed. I pushed my hands down on her stomach. I felt her blood flowing out all over my hands. I felt like throwing up. "Bex, Liz someone phone an ambulance and please take over. I have to lie down." I felt someone's hands on my shoulder.
"Come on Camster, let's go wash your hands first and I will grab you a sprit." Grant slowly pulled me up. I was still sobbing over my best friend. He took my hand and pulled me towards the bathroom. He washed my hands for me and then sat me on a bench while grabbing me a sprit from the closest bar or shop. I was alone for all of 60 seconds but all I could think about was what Catherine had done. How was I going to tell Zach? "Cammie, here you go. You ready to go back? It looks like the ambulance is here." I nodded my head and slowly got up.
When we got back to the beach were Macey's blood was coating the sand, she was being put into the ambulance and Liz and Grant went with her. Bex stayed with me and the girls. We had no idea what to tell them. They had all began to get to know the boys.
"What are we going to do Bex? I don't know what to tell the girls, Preston or even Zach."
"We tell them the truth, Cammie. I know it is hard but we cannot deal with the extra stress. We both are pregnant."
"Bex, I cannot do that to Zach. He thinks she is dead. Of he knows he might regret everything we have been through. He might regret our baby."
"Why would I regret our baby, baby?"
"Oh, Zach. Macey is in hospital. It...it...it was your mother. I thought she was dead but she isn't. I know you didn't want a baby and I got pregnant anyways. It's all my fault." The tears were rolling down my face. I don't know why I said it but when he got back everything just fell out. I couldn't lie to him about something so bad.
"Gallagher girl it is NOT your fault. It was never your fault I fell in love with you. Do you know where a baby comes from? It does take two and I knew the outcome at some point. I just never expected it so soon. Macey will be fine. Do you think she would let my mother kill her? I don't think so. And Preston will be told when we get home." He was holding my shoulders trying to knock some scene into me.
"O...kay...Za...ch." I was gulping and was beginning to hyperventilate.
"Cameron Ann Goode, take some deep breaths and count to 10."
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10, thanks Zach. I love you."
"I love you too. Now where are Jonas and Thomas?"
"Um well you see Catherine told Cammie she was with Thomas and that they were married."
"No she lies too get what she wants. He is a good man. I know someone who works for my mother when I see them and I know he doesn't. But still where are they?"
"Where is Liz, guys?" Jonas asked walking up to us, staring at the bloody sand next to us.
"At the hospital with Macey, my mother hurt her. Liz is fine just Macey was hurt. Have you seen Thomas?" Jonas shook his head.
"Jonas can you bring me one of the boys please I need to talk to them. Zach, take Bex to get some food. She hasn't eaten for a while and she has to be feeling sick since seeing Macey. Please take all the stuff we brought with you too." I used Zach's arm to get up and walked down towards the sea with Jonas. "I'm sorry for getting all of you involved."
"Cammie, don't you ever say that. I'm sorry I wasn't here or even capable to keep the signal on the comms. I should be the one who is sorry."
"Jonas, don't be so silly. Nothing you could have done would have stopped her. She will be back and this time we will be ready. Now go grab one of those boys from the water." I pushed him into the sea.
One of the boys ran out of the sea towards me. Jonas stayed in the sea and was keeping an eye on the girls. If they were anything like us then there would be trouble.
"Mrs Goode, you wanted to talk to one of us?"
"Yeah, I do. What's your name?"
"James. So what's up?"
"Well I need to know what Mr Templeton is like at school."
"He has been really on edge recently. It was like he was expecting what happened today to happen. Normally he is really cool but since he has been on edge there has been this woman there. She has eyes like Mr Goode. It was like she had brainwashed him into something. When we were told about the mission, he told us to keep a really close eye on the girls and not let them get hurt. He only looked brainwashed when that woman was around. I think he is scared of her."
"Does Mr Templeton have children or a partner?"
"Um...yeah I think he has a wife and they have a 1 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. We see them around sometimes. They normally stay with us for a few months and leave for a few months. We haven't seen them for about 3 months but it is almost Sir's birthday and they are always here around this time. I think that woman is making him do something bad."
"Thank you James. You have been a real use for me. Just another quick question before you go back to the others. How are you keeping in contact with Mr Templeton?"
"We aren't, he just said to meet him at the pick-up point at 6:30 otherwise we had to walk home."
"Okay off you go then. Can you send me Mr Anderson when you go back please? See you later then, bye James."
"Bye Mrs Goode." With that he ran back into the sea told Jonas I wanted him.
We were all back on the beach now. Jonas had his computer out hacking into the CIA file trying to find out about Thomas' wife and children. Bex was talking to Grant on the phone to find out how Macey was. Zach and I were lying down on the sand. I was on his stomach and he was playing with my hair. The kids were all playing together and they were happy.
"Zach, do you love your mother at all?"
"Cams can we just not talk about her, please. I don't need her because I have you and you." He said pointing to my belly. "I love you two and I don't need her."
"Sorry for letting her back." I was staring at the sky watching the clouds pass but they all turned into a blur as my eyes clouded up with tears once again.
"Cameron Ann Goode it really isn't your fault. I have told you this and you need to believe me. We both thought that she was dead." Zach sat up and pulled my up onto his lap and tucked my head into this chest. He rested his chin on my head and kissed it. "We both thought she was dead."
"Cam, we should round everyone up and get them to the pick-up point. Grant said that Macey could get let out tonight because her cut wasn't too deep she just needs to take it easy."
"Come on then, Bex. Let's go. Guys stay here we will be back with them all. Zach? I need a hand." Zach pulled himself up and me with him. He smacked me with a kiss and then Bex and I walked off.

CPOV:
As we walked towards Thomas, I felt this pit of despair rising in my stomach. Zach was holding the car seat again and holing my hand in the other. Bex was pushing the pushchair. She called it getting ready for the baby. Jonas was carrying all the laptops him and Liz brought as well as Macey's bag. The kids were all in front of us. Flirting and giggling, I remember the days when I thought life was easy, without a care in the world. I was so hoping at Thomas was good because all these boys would be coming back with me and I would have to find away to get a new head teacher Blackthorne.
"Thomas." I saw caught up in my own thoughts I didn't see him there. Luckily Zach did though otherwise I would have walked straight into him.
"Zach, Cammie and I assume you are Rebecca and Jonas." They both nodded.
"One question: do you work with Catherine?" I had to ask I had to get it out in the open. If I hadn't there was no way I was going to Blackthorne tonight.
"Follow me." I did as I was told for once. Bex and Jonas stayed and watched the girls and boys. We were in an alleyway. I was terrified Catherine was going to jump out and take me. I held Zach hand with a tight grip.
"So are you going to tell us why my mother thinks she is married to you?" Zach could sense me fear and pulled me slightly behind him.
"Zach, your mother is CRAZY! She has taken away my wife and two children. I would kill her if I could but if I do I never see my family again. I need your help. Please. I know Jonas has spent the afternoon looking me up, so trust me when I say I know how to get rid of her. Can you take part? You have to come to Blackthorne tonight if you want to be safe. You can trust me. I promise."
I was slightly thrown back when I saw the tears in his eyes build up.
"You can trust us too. Zach," I turned him around to look me in the eyes. "He is telling the truth. I asked one of his students, James. He seemed like a computer freak so I knew he wouldn't be able to lie very well and he spoke the truth to me. Not one single lie. We are going to Blackthorne tonight. I have to keep my best friends safe, my girls safe and my family safe. They, we, need to be safe. Do you understand? I love you but I need to do the best for me and my family." I turned back to Thomas. "We are in. You can tell us everything back at Blackthorne."
"Bex get the plane to land, we are ready to go but first we have a pick up to do."
We arrived at the hospital. Liz was sat holding Macey's hand and Grant was asleep. No surprise there.
"Macey, wake up Cam and Bex are here." Grant's eyes shot open. He jumped up and spun Bex around.
"Babe, I wouldn't I will puke on you." He laughed and put her down, smacking his lips on hers. I left them alone for a minute while I went to get Macey.
"You ready Mace?"
"Cam are you stupid? I have been ready since my stitches were put in. Have you told Preston?" I shook my head. "Good. I will tell him when we get home." I helped Macey get out of bed and into some shoes. Grabbing a wheelchair I took her and the others out to the plane.
***arriving at Blackthorne***
ZPOV:
The last time I was here was when Cammie almost died, Joe almost died and I almost died. I pulled up my walls as we came into the walls of my old school. Grant graduated here as did Jonas. How is it I ended up with the world's greatest friends from the world's worst school? Cam saw my walls come up and she grabbed my hands and placed them on her belly. The baby was kicking. That was my baby. My sweet innocent baby. There was no way I was going to let them meet Catherine. Ever. I pulled my hands away from her belly remembering that that baby was 25% her. I couldn't bare it. My eyes iced over and I stared out the window looking away from Cam and towards the caves. Why couldn't I have tried harder to kill her? Then she wouldn't be here now to hurt Cammie. Cammie wouldn't have had to see everything that she did.
"Zach, baby, please look at me." Cam was begging. I couldn't. I wouldn't look at her. The pain I caused her. It was all in her eyes and the scars where on her body. "Please look at me. I won't let you get hurt. You know that right?" Now I turned around.
"No Cammie you should have to. I should have been the one who stopped you from getting hurt. I'm sorry." I looked away again. I was scared for her life.
"Everyone, we are here, time to get out."
I stood grabbing our bag and walked out of the plane straight towards the shooting range. Luckily for me, it was still there. I picked up the gun closest to the top and shot. *BANG**BANG**BANG*BANG*
"Zach what are you doing?!" Cammie's face was shocked. She looked at me and decided that I was in a bad way. "Zach, I am not doing this NOW! Do you not remember what happened yesterday? Or the day before? You protect me from all the bad things. Your mother is no exception. You tried to save me I just didn't want to be found. Either you suck it up and realise what this school was and that your mother is alive or you don't and you can stay out here all night until you decide to get a grip! I'm going if you want you can come too!" Cammie turned around and walked away.
"NO! Gallagher girl wait, I'm sorry. I haven't been here since you almost died, since I almost died and Joe. It was also the time where I was close to killing my mother. I'm sorry I love you. Please don't be angry." Cammie stopped mid-step and looked at me.
"Zach, I love you too but I can't do this every time we come here. What if we have a boy? Where do you think he is going to go? Gallagher? No Zach he will come here and he will become as amazing as his daddy. It will get better I promise baby but only if you let me help." I ran up to her and kissed her. I picked her up and spun her around. She wrapped her legs around my waist and kissed me back. She might have been as heavy as an elephant but I didn't care. She loved me and I loved her. That was all that mattered.
Leave it on a happy note. Yay. So I might not be able to post this weekend but I will try and do some short ones maybe. I will try and get a small on up tomorrow before I go out for my birthday. R&R
