Zach's pov
When I found out which room was hers I made two more calls. To Bex and Mrs. Morgan. I told them what the doctor had told me and I also told them the room number. Once I finished I went to Cammie's room.
Cam's pov
I woke up to blackness. I wondered who put a blindfold over my head. Then I figured out that my eyes were closed. My eyelids were like heavy veils shielding all light from coming in. I opened my eyes just a crack, I was too tired to put them up anymore. I saw Zach's head resting on my arm. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even. He looked peaceful. I didn't want to disturb him. I sat watching. His hair was falling in his eyes, but he looked as though he could be a fallen angel. That's when I heard people outside the door.
I closed my eyes a little more to make it look like I was still asleep. The people who came in were Bex, Macey, my mom, and dad. And much to my surprise my Aunt Abby. When my mom saw Zach by my side she smiled. My dad went and gently shook him awake. He wiped the sleep away. He stood up. I opened my eyes all that I could. My throat was on fire. I couldn't swallow. It was so dry. I felt a tube in my nose. My mom took the chair Zach had been sitting in. She grabbed my hand.
"Cammie," mom said tears filling her eyes, "are you okay?" I tried to speak but nothing would come out. I motioned for water. My dad quickly got a cup and put the straw in my mouth. I drank the water hungrily. I finished the whole cup. When I did I found I could speak, but it was a whisper.
"Yeah, just a little sore. When can I go home?" I asked, talking about Gallagher school.
"We don't know yet sweetie. We'll have the doctors check," my said smoothing back my hair. Before they could do anything to get a doctor in here a doctor walked in. She had a clipboard in hand. She had a white lab coat on. She looked around the room at my family and friends. Then she walked over to me.
"Mrs. Reese, I'm Dr. Reynolds," she told me sticking out her hand. I was strong enough to raise it and shake. I looked over at my mom and dad. They both had one of their eyebrows raised. Uh-oh, they were wondering about the Mrs. I nodded my head.
"So, how are you feeling? Throat a little sore?" Dr. Reynolds asked me as she took off the bandage that covered my neck. I nodded instead of talking. She then took out another bandage and placed it back on.
"You'll have to do this once a day. I suggest you have your husband or another family member put it on for you," Dr. Reynolds said as she finished putting on the bandage. I saw my parents had their arms crossed and were giving Zach the evil eye. Dr. Reynolds got up and walked over and stood next to Zach.
"Mr. Reese you will need to take everyone out of the room soon, Mrs. Reese will need to get some sleep. A nurse will come in later when she needs to," Dr. Reynolds said shaking his hand with a warm smile. Then she walked out the door. My parents turned to me.
"Mr and Mrs. Reese?" mom asked one of her eyebrows raised, she had one hand on her hip.
"You're married?" dad asked his mouth opened slightly in surprise. Zach rushed to explain.
"It's cover. Bex suggested it and so I asked her," Zach blurted out. My mom turned to Bex. She shrugged.
"What? They're going to get married one day, might as well have some practice," Bex said eating some peanuts which I hadn't saw her eating before. Dad looked at Zach.
Zach's pov
The doctor had blown it. Cam's parents now knew we were "married." Then I had to tell them Bex told me to ask Cam. Well then Bex had to tell them we were likely to get married. Which was true, but she said it in front of Cam's parents. Her dad was giving me the evil eye. They should be glad she's alive and not really married to me… yet.
"Zach can we step outside and talk?" Cam's dad asked me putting a hand on my shoulder. I resisted the urge to gulp. I'm not usually scared of people but I was now. We walked out in the hall. At least this is a public place, I thought.
"Mr. Morgan what do you want to talk about?" I asked trying to make my voice as steady as possible.
"You married my daughter. Yes, I know it was cover. But you still in a way married my daughter," he said his fist clenching and un-clenching.
"Yeah, but sir, she said yes," I said trying to tell him it wasn't my fault. Which it wasn't. I just asked a question and she said yes. I didn't want to get Cammie in trouble but I didn't want to get in trouble either.
"I know. But she's young and infatuated," he said shaking his head. I knew she wasn't infatuated, I knew we were in love. I didn't say anything against him. So I just nodded. But as soon as we graduated I was going to ask her for real.
"That's all I needed. If you ever do something like this again, pulling my daughter into something dangerous like this…I'll…never mind. You almost got her killed," he said to me with his face like it was set in stone. He was angry and relieved. I nodded.
"Never again," I agreed. It wasn't up to me though, she would do whatever she felt was right. She was a spy after all. I didn't tell her to come help me, she did it on her own. With the help of her friends of course I didn't say any of this though because he would probably get even more mad.
A/N: What'd you think? It's been a while I know. I'm going to try and finish this story this week(hopefully today). After that I won't be posting any new stories for a while. Well, thanks for reading. Please review! :)
