Sorry I haven't updated, I would have updated way earlier if I'd been able to I was on holidays and yeah, didn't have Wi-Fi so I couldn't update! Also from my plans this will be the second last chapter maybe third, I don't know yet. But yeah, I hopefully should have this done by next week so yep. And I've reached 200 reviews! Yay! So thanks everyone! I'll have a shout out at the end of the chapter for everybody who's reviewed!
Chapter 17
I run back home, tears flowing down my face, what just happened? The reality of the situation was still sinking in, I think. I grab my phone out of my pocket and text Ben.
Sorry can't make it tonight, something popped up, catch up soon?-C. I had no idea how I didn't get any tear droplets on my phone but oh well. I open the door to the house and walk quietly to my room so Mum didn't hear me; I didn't want her to see me like this. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and its Be, damn. I hoped it was Zach but oh well.
Yeah sure Cam, how about tomorrow after school?-B. Iface palm myself "I can't believe I forgot I have school tomorrow" I mutter to myself. But going to school meant seeing Zach. Far out, this was going to be hard. Sure, have you considered transferring?-C
Tears begin streaming down my face once more, Zach's last words ringing through my head.
I thought that was you. I can't believe he said that, I couldn't believe he thought that. I let out a sob as I stand up off my bed and pick up the photo frame of Zach and I holding hands at the formal. I let out another sob throwing the frame on the ground as the glass shatters. I fall onto my knees beside the broken glass. "I really did love him, and now our friendship is over" I mutter to myself. Mum comes into the room and looks down at the photo frame. "Cammie? What happened?" Mum asks kneeling down next to me. "He….We.. We broke up" I mumble. Mum sighs putting an arm around me and her other hand through my hair. She gets up and looks down at me and smiles sadly.
"I'll get this cleaned up" Mum says leaving the room and coming back with tools to clean it up, she does that quickly and chucks the contents of the glass in the bin. She comes back in and grabs the picture of Zach and I and puts it face down on my dresser. "Wanna talk about it?" Mum asks. I shake my head. "I need some space, I think I'm going to have an early night" I say letting out a yawn. Mum nods "He's going to be at school tomorrow Cammie, I think you're going to need to talk to him and maybe get some closure?" Mum asks. I look at her and smile sadly as my eyes get watering threatening for tears to fall. "He called me a slut mum" I say as the tears spill down my face. Mum looks at me and bends down giving me a really tight hug. After that she runs out of the room quickly, closing the door. I jump onto my bed and find that I have six missed calls from Zach, each leaving a voice call. I didn't want to listen to them, but I knew I had to. I played the first one and lay myself down on my bed. "Cammie, Its Zach I….…I'm sorry" he says his voice so full of…hurt. But the voice message was lousy, that's all he had to say? Anger fulfilled me as I throw my phone at the wall. Luckily it was a nokia. I couldn't bring myself to get it. I sigh as tears fall from my face, what was I going to do tomorrow? I couldn't ask any of the girls if I could hang with them all day because they'd want to hang with their boyfriends. I sigh, this was going to be hard. But I text Bex anyway.
Bex, its Cam, wondering if just us girls wanted to hang tomorrow? Zach and I broke up…-C
While I'm waiting for a response I get changed into my pyjamas and head into bed, my phone vibrates next to me as I check to see that its Bex.
OMG CAM! I'm so sorry! Of Course we will! I'll text the girls so you don't have to! We're here for you Cam, love you girl xoxo-B
I sigh as I pull the covers up and close my eyes, knowing tomorrow was going to be a tough day.
I open my eyes and find Mum standing in my room opening the curtains I sit up and mum turns around. "Hey Cammie, I've made you scrambled eggs" Mum says. I smile as I get up and head for the kitchen, Mum following close behind. I take a seat and turn my head. "Thanks Mum, but you don't need to do this" I say meeting her gaze. Mum smiles sadly as I begin eating. When I finish I pass the plate to Mum and get changed. I look at the time and see that I'm early, good plan, get there before Zach and hide from him. I sling my bag over my shoulder and head for the door.
"Try and have a good day Cam" Mum says kissing my forehead as I walk out the door. I put on my iPod and the song I Don't Wanna Be In Love comes on, the memory of Zach and I singing this on sing star at Macey's place springs to mind, I was so fragile back then, looks like I'm back to where I started. But I won't let Zach think I'm weak, nah uh. I arrive at school as I take out my earphones and head over to where Bex and Macey are standing waiting for me. Both have sympathetic looks on their faces. "Cammie! Are you okay?" Bex asks as she wraps her arms around me in a tight hug. She pulls away and smiles sadly at me as Macey pulls me in for a hug.
"No offence Cam, but you look horrible! You're lucky I have an emergency make up kit" Macey says as she drags me to the girls toilets, Bex following close behind. When we get In there nobody else is in there, luckily! Macey starts dabbing some foundation on and concealer around my eyes. She puts on some eyeliner and some blue eye shadow and smiles. "Done!" Macey says smiling warmly.
"Thanks Mace" I say as the bell goes. Macey and Bex both look at me as if they're about to give me a pep talk. "Sit next to Liz and Jonas okay? Take the end spot so there's no hope of Zach being able to sit next to you got it Cam?" Bex asks, I sigh nodding as I walk off to my locker. Luckily Zach wasn't at his locker yet, so I quickly grabbed my psychology books and caught up with Liz and Jonas. "Hey guys" I say walking alongside Liz. Liz stops and looks at me sympathetically and squeezes my hand as we head into the psychology room. As Bex instructs I take the end seat as Liz sits down next to me and Jonas decides to wait for Zach. I turn around and see Zach standing there looking at me with sad eyes, you could tell he hadn't had much sleep, he had massive bags underneath his eyes. Zach and I's eyes connect and I turn away quickly as Zach and Jonas take seats at the back of the room.
"Okay guys, let's get started" Mr Ross says as we all open up our textbooks.
Once class is finished its Recess, Liz walks with me to my locker and I see Zach coming over.
"Cammie, can we uh talk?" Zach asks, I turn around and sigh.
"Cammie's not interested Zach" Liz says standing up for me.
"Liz, come on? Just let me have two minutes? Please?" Zach asks not taking his eyes off me. Liz sighs and I know she's going to agree. "Nope, come on Cammie" Macey says dragging me away from Zach as we head to a grassy spot and all us girls sit down in a circle. "So? What happened with Zach?" Macey asks, I sigh rolling my eyes, gosh was she predictable. "Like I'd say, you'd crack a fit at Zach" I say. Macey rolls her eyes.
"Fine. What are you doing tonight? And please tell me you're not going to stay home and mope around" Macey says. I roll my eyes.
"Hanging out with Ben actually" I reply. Macey smiles warmly as she gives me a high five.
"Awesome Cammie" Macey says. I hear guys talking and recognise the voices immediately, the guys. I turn around as Macey twists my shoulder back around. "You want to act like you don't give a crap about him Cam, so stop with all the looks" Macey says. I nod sadly.
"Hey Cammie, can I talk to you for a sec?" Grant asks. I look at Macey who is shaking my head but I just roll my eyes and get up. "Sure" I say and look over and see Zach standing behind Nick. He sees me and his eyes fill with hurt, I look away and walk off with Grant.
"Cammie, Zach told me what happened" Grant says. I nod sighing.
"You know he didn't mean what he said Cam, I mean come on its Zach" Grant says putting a hand on my shoulder. "So what it just came out? Words don't just come out when they aren't meant to Grant, when you blurt something out, you mean it. Truthfully, I don't hold it against him anyway, he's right" I say taking a glimpse in Zach's direction. Grant smiles sadly.
"Don't do this to yourself Cammie; you can't beat yourself up over this" Grant says sighing.
"Just talk to him Cam" Grant says.
"And you don't think he's mad at me? We both mucked up Grant, and truthfully I don't think its worth the effort of trying to fix" I say. Grant smiles sadly.
"Zach told me today that you both want the relationship to last, remember that Cam" Grant says walking off. I text Ben quickly
Hey Ben, can you pick me straight up from school? I don't want to be alone right now-C
I head back to the girls and sit down. "What did Grant want?" Bex asks curiously. I shrug.
"Just wanted to talk about PE tomorrow" I lie. Bex nods as I feel my phone go off in my pocket. Ben.
Whats wrong?-B
I text back quickly
Zach and I broke up don't want to talk about it atm, sorry! Maybe tonite?-C.
"Who are you texting?" Macey says stealing my phone off me. Macey rolls her eyes.
"Only Ben, its alright girls" Macey says as the bell goes for the end of recess.
(*)(*)(*)
Zach POV
The bell goes, next class with Cammie, great. I still hadn't been able to talk to her, the girls were protecting her, so irritating. I see Cammie in the hallway on the way to my locker, boy did she look hurt. She turns around and sees me and smiles sadly and I notice Macey standing there next to her giving me death glares, I roll my eyes and open up my locker for maths.
The rest of the day was boring, I still hadn't gotten to talk to Cammie and hoped I could catch up with her after school. I stand outside waiting for her to come out of the building when someone taps me on the shoulder, I spin around and see Ben standing there. "What do you want?" I ask anger in my voice. Ben looks taken aback but sighs eventually. "I just want to say that Cammie will come around" Ben says rubbing the back of his neck.
"How do you know what happened?" I ask.
"I don't, she just told me that you guys broke up" Ben says. I look at Ben and nod sighing.
"Okay then, why are you here anyway?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Hanging out, wanted me to pick her up here, but anyway she's a keeper Zach, she'll probably tell me tonight and I'll probably hate you afterwards, I don't know but just remember Zach she's a keeper, if I could get Cammie back I would" Ben says walking off.
