Chapter 9- No more running
Previously:
Lying in the grass I looked around me at the trees, I sat up and looked through a clearing up ahead. Are you kidding me? I was here, of all the places here?
Cammie's POV
I saw the familiar stone wall in front of me. The Circle had moved me a total of wait for it… 10 feet! Claps for them for moving onto the other side of the wall, I must not have been out for long. I'd say if I was feeling confident in my internal clock again (which I was), I had only been out for about 25 minutes.
I started to walk towards the wall finally making a decision; I wasn't going to run anymore. No more running. As far as I could tell I was safe at Gallagher and from what I had experienced I was in more danger outside of the mansion's walls. I was going to come home and stay put.
I pressed a few stones in the wall and a tunnel opened up in the ground two feet away. I jumped down and started to run, back towards my sisters and back towards Zach.
I was in the tunnel for a total of 5 minutes. And guess where it opens back up? Behind the painting directly across from Zach's dorm room, I stood behind that painting for 3 and half minutes trying to get up the nerve to face him, it took a while and I did it. I came out into the deserted hallway and stood in his doorway and just as I was going to knock. Zach opened the door.
Zach's POV
She was here, she was back! I didn't wait for her to say anything I just crushed my lips to hers. We stood like that for god knows how long until the need for air became unbearable but even then I didn't let go of her waist. My forehead rested against hers.
"I love you" I whispered. A smile spread across her lips.
"I love you too" we kissed again, I don't know for how long. I wasn't really paying attention.
"Are you going to leave again?" I asked.
"No, no more running. I'm staying" I smiled, not smirked, smiled. I know it surprised me too and I was the one doing it!
"Best idea you've ever had Gallagher girl"
