Zach's POV
'I miss her so much.' That's the only thought that's running through my head right now. I can't believe Solomon is taking us on a Cove Ops mission right now. I would have thought that he would have been affected by Cammie disappearing again, but it doesn't seem like he feels anything at all. But we're spies. And that's what we do. Pretend. Build walls so you don't get hurt.
The guys and I have been working with the girls to try to find her but there's been nothing so far. She's good, really good.
'It's all your fault.' A voice in my head says, and it's right. I should have paid more attention to her, kept her safe. Instead, I ignore her and close myself off again. I love her. I finally realize that, after she disappears. Now that I look back at how it must have seemed from Cammie's point of view, I realize that it was me that hurt her most. After all, she was trying to keep us safe, and to thank her we ignore her; make her think we hate her.
'I love you Cameron Ann Morgan, and I need you back.' I think before falling asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I jolt awake from another dream about Cammie. I was reliving those last moments, when she ran away, again. I felt everything, the desperation, the anger at myself, the hopelessness, and the sorrow, ten times harder. I can't believe she's gone again. Every time I wake up, I keep hoping that everything was a dream, that Grant would wake me up and laugh at me for saying Cammie's name in my sleep and then everything would be alright. I look at my watch and realize the plane's almost going to land and I sit up. Suddenly I fell something crinkle in my pocket and I reach in there. It was her note to me! I opened it and started reading.
Zach,
I'm just going to say one thing. I'm sorry. I want you to know I don't want to do this. I don't' want to leave you and everyone else but I have to. If I'm not there, they won't hurt you. I'm the reason the COC is after you. They will stop at nothing to get me and they'll kill anyone. I won't let that happen. I want you to move on. I'm not saying I'd like you to be with another girl, but you need to forget me. Maybe one day we can be together. Maybe one day the COC will give up. And I'll come back. But right now, I don't think that's possible. I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
I love you, and I always will,
Cammie
"No." I say to myself. "No. I love you and I won't move on. I can't."
Just then, the plane starts desending and the pilot's voice comes over the speakers.
'I'll find you and prove we can be together.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I walk off the plane and follow Solomon towards the entrance, I catch sight of a girl that looks familiar, even though I've never seen her before in my life. I look away for a second and when I look back she's gone. I try to think where I could have seen her before but there's a blank. I just shrug and move on.
