Chapter 8 – Here?

Cammie's POV

I woke up blindfolded and felt my hands tied up above my head onto a metal bar on the wall of what I assumed was a black van since it had all the car noises going on. But they didn't tie up my legs. Big mistake, this was going to be just like P&E.

From the grunts and whispered conversations going on around me I could tell there were only 2 CoC people in the back with me and because of the divider I assumed there were two in the front.

Pros and Cons of only having 4 people guarding you.

A list by Cameron Morgan

Pro: there are only 4 people guarding you

Con: you can't see what weapons they have

Pro: they underestimate how much of a threat you are

Con: you don't know how many more vans are outside

I decided it was time to act, I groaned and pretended to struggle from my bonds.

"Sit still" both the men said at the same time. It was actually really creepy. I continued to struggle until I heard them both move towards me. I swung leg and managed to get one of them right in the temple knocking him out, while clipping the other one in the jaw which caused him to flail and pull off my blindfold. Yes!

He came at me again I kicked him and knocked him out too. Well that fixed that. I looked up and saw I was bound with rope, brilliant. I tapped my heel on the ground and a small knife slid out of the toe of my shoe. I know cool right? I flicked it up and just managed to catch it in my hands. I cut through the ropes in no time.

Crawling to the back I looked out the windows, no vans behind me. Was this my lucky day or what? I picked the lock and the door swung open. This was going to hurt but it's not like it's the first time right? I jumped and landed in a ninja roll before crawling into the forest at the edge of the road. I collapsed there until I was sure they were gone (11 minutes and 43 seconds later).

Lying in the grass I looked around me at the trees, I sat up and looked through a clearing up ahead.

Zach's POV

It has been 34 minutes and I still haven't read the letter, the girls tried to explain to me what it was but I refused to listen. Cammie had been cruel; I wasn't going to find her this time.

But after another minute I cracked, it might be the last memory I have of my Gallagher girl and I wasn't going to let it go. I sat up in the deserted dorm room and ripped open the letter and began to read.

Dear Zach,

Perhaps the letter isn't the best way to go about this, but I knew you wouldn't let me go if I told you face to face. Maybe that makes me a coward. I don't know. I know that I don't deserve anything from you, but I can only hope that you'll read these words, knowing that I mean every one of them.

I am truly, truly sorry for what I did to you. Everything I said I said to protect you. Because I had to leave again and I didn't want you to get attached to me again so when I left I wouldn't leave you hurt. Even though I know you are hurting now, and I know that's all because of me. I promised that I would never hurt you like this, but it will save you more pain later. Your mother is after me Zach and I knew if I stayed at Gallagher you would get hurt. I could never live with myself if I did that. I'm sorry.

I don't know if it's ever possible for you to forgive me, but I hope that someday you can find a way to do so. I hate that there's a chance that you will never want to be a part of my life again or that I will never see you again. But just in case…

I love you, Cammie

She loves me? I stood up and went to the door; I know she said she will never see me again but not if I can help it. I loved Cammie with all my heart and I was going to tell her. I was at the door now I twisted the handle. What? No way!

Cammie's POV

Are you kidding me? I was here, of all the places here?
