Oh my gosh, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry. Summer got away from me. Now that I'm back on a schedule, I'll try to update. You guys give me suggestions. To all who are still reading, THANK YOU! Your belief in me is more than you know.

I DON'T OWN!

Zach POV

It was all my fault. All my fault. My fault that my Gallagher Girl was in the hospital. Dr. Jones already had to pull a lot of string to get Mrs. Morgan and Abby into Cam's room. Jonas was right. Yelling at him really didn't help anything but my stress. Really, my stress wouldn't go away until Cam was back. She had been out for a month. A whole month. Eventually, people were going to ask what happened. I think the only reasons that I hadn't been interrogated yet were that Liz was out and most effective interrogation tactics were outlawed in the 1960's, a while after the Cold War. Speaking of cold, that was what my oatmeal now was. I hadn't really eaten since the fateful party. I hated Paraguay now. If my mother hadn't been put in jail a while back, I would've sworn she was behind this. Suddenly, I heard Liz's voice, which jerked me out of my thoughts. I tried to smile. "Hey, Liz. Jonas."

"Don't do that Zach, you look worse." Liz said frankly as Jonas eased the wheelchair up to the table next to me. Jonas laughed.

"Wow, Mace, when did you and Liz switch bodies?" I asked, really smiling now.

"That's better." Liz laughed. Jonas smiled.

"Liz, what do you want?" Jonas asked.

"A salad and fries from McDonald's." Liz said, looking up at Jonas.

"OK, where are my keys?" He muttered, searching in his pockets. Liz laid her hand on his. He looked at her.

"Something decent from here." Jonas smiled.

"That's better." He kissed Liz on the cheek and went to get her something. Liz smiled, watching him go, and then turned to me. I groaned and banged my head on the table, then looked up at Liz.

"It must feel good to be up and about again." I said. Liz just looked at me.

"Yeah, I guess." An awkward silence followed. "Look, I know you don't want to talk about it, but what happened?" I heaved a deep breath. "Will you tell me later?" I nodded and Liz smiled.

Dr. Jones POV

I looked down and Cameron's sleeping form. I felt awful, more so than usual. Abby and Rachel were distraught. As a friend and doctor, I had no idea what to do. Abby and Rachel had recently gone for a walk. They hadn't left Cameron's side for a month. I sighed. I really should go and check on Elizabeth. I just had to make sure I didn't trip over Zachary.

"Zach?" I stopped in my tracks. Did I say that? I must've. The poor boy wasn't allowed in and had been sleeping outside the door. "Zach?" No, that wasn't me. I turned around slowly.

"Cameron?"

"Zach?" The girl's eyes slowly opened. "Dr. Jones?"

"Yes," I said slowly, moving forward to sit in the chair next to the bed. "How are you?"

"You're my doctor." Cameron replied. "Do you really need to ask that?"

I laughed. "Your friends will be glad to know you're awake."

"Zach?" She asked hopefully.

"I've tripped over him several times walking back and forth between your room and Elizabeth's."

"Lizzy?" Cameron bolted upright. "Oh my gosh, is Lizzy OK?" I laughed.

"Elizabeth is fine. Actually, she's doing a lot better than you." Cameron looked confused, then looked at all of the beeping machines around her and rolled her eyes.

"Right."

"Actually, her young man-"

"Jonas, right?" Cameron asked.

"Yes, Jonas." We both laughed. "He just took her down to lunch. I believe Zach's down there too." I saw Cameron's eyes light up.

"Can I go down?" Cameron looked hopeful.

"No. But I'll go get him." Cameron lit up again.

"Really?"

"Yes, really." I smiled. This was going to be fun.

Bex POV

I ran into Dr. Jones in the hall. Literally, ran into her. I was hightailing it down to the cafeteria to see Liz. Grant kept telling me to slow down, which was completely lost when he was running faster than me to try and stop me. I was rounding the corner for the elevator and bumped into her.

"Hello, Bex." Dr. Jones said from the ground. Grant heaved her up. "Thank you, Grant."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Jones." I said, embarrassed.

"It's perfectly alright." Dr. Jones said, dusting herself off. "But, since you have much more energy and speed, and, well, youth, than I, would you run down and tell Zach he can see Cameron now?" I couldn't believe my ears. "Yes, I'm serious."

"Absolutely." I took off for the stairs. Behind me, I heard Grant talking.

"Aw, Doc, now I'm never gonna catch her."

"You can make sure that Zach doesn't kill anyone on his way up." Dr. Jones replied.

One or two minutes later, I was running into the café. Macey, Preston, Jonas, Liz and Zach were all laughing. Zach stopped when he saw me. "You can see Cam now." Those five little words had him off like a bullet.

"It's about time!" Macey said. I moved into Zach's spot and Grant sat next to me.

"How is she?" Liz asked.

Grant laughed. "Cam or Dr. Jones?"

"Either." Liz said slowly, confused. Grant kept laughing. I punched him on the arm. He just laughed harder.

"Bex knocked Dr. Jones over on our way here." Grant choked out through his laughter. I punched him and he just kept laughing.

"Jerk."

"You love me anyways."

Zach POV

"Hello, Zachary." Dr. Jones was standing outside Cam's door. "Just head on in."

"Thank you, Doctor." I headed in. Cam looked awful. "Oh, Cammie."

"Zach?"

"Cam?" She looked up at me at the sound of her name. "Cam, you're awake."

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Well, for that obvious piece of info, and for saving my life."

"What?" The drugs must've messed up her brain. "I didn't save you."

"Yes, you did." She looked at me like I was crazy."You were hurt and they knocked me out and would've killed me or taken me, but you grabbed me and put me in the helicopter."

"How do you know that?" I demanded.

"Aunt Abby told me." That wasn't adding up. Abby swore to me that no one had found out what happened on the roof.

"She was driving the copter."

"I know. When did you wake up?"

"About ten minutes ago."

"Am I the first to see you awake?"

"Yep."

"Then how did Abby tell you what happened?"

"I heard everything that went on while I was out." There was a pause. Cam looked at me. "We really have been through a lot, haven't we?" I nodded before realizing that I said that to Jonas during our fight. I winced.

"You heard that?"

"Yes." Cam giggled. "I'm glad they're finally together."

"Yeah, they're cute together." I paused. "Did I just say that?"

"Yeah, you did." Cam laughed. I realized that I was being stupid and awkward, but I didn't care. Cam was awake and everything was good. When Cam stopped laughing, she just looked at me, smiling.

"I love you, Gallagher Girl." I said.

"That would be evidenced by the fact that you didn't leave the door of my hospital room for a month and why about three minutes after Dr. Jones left to get you, you came tearing through the door." Cam laughed. "I love you too, Zach." I yawned, smiling. "Gosh, way to ruin the moment, Zach." I yawned again.

"Sorry, Cam." I yawned again. Then she yawned. "See? You're tired too."

"Shut up, Zach." I could tell she didn't mean it because she was smiling the whole time. She started to drift off, then jolted herself awake, looking panicked.

"Don't worry, Cameron." Dr. Jones said from her position leaning against the doorframe. "Most likely, you won't be put in another coma."

"What are the chances?" Cam asked.

Dr. Jones looked taken aback. "I'm not sure, but it's close to a million to one."

Cam sighed. "OK, then." She grudgingly relaxed, and was asleep in less than five minutes. Dr. Jones turned to me.

"Zach, you should really sleep." She looked concerned.

"Alright, fine." I agreed. I was really tired. Pretty soon, I was out just like Cam.
