A/N Thanks for all the reviews guys, there isn't a ZachPOV in this chapter but there is a fight, but I don't think it will be what you thought. We find out Cammie's secret in this chapter. I love reading your reviews so please keep them coming!
I woke up with a smile on my face remembering the tour last night and the way it ended, with Zach kissing me and asking me to be his girlfriend! I got out of bed with less of a struggle than yesterday as I realised today wouldn't be that bad, so I jumped into the shower as usual and dried my hair grabbed my curling wand and curled my hair. I walked over to my wardrobe searched for an outfit and then pulled out a pale blue skater dress and some darker blue ballerina shoes, I did my makeup grabbed my phone and went downstairs to find my mum passed out on the couch - no surprise there.
Ever since my dad died she gets drunk every other night once she got home from work. She wouldn't even acknowledge me, but it has just become a routine now so I made her a glass of water and grabbed some aspirin and placed it on the coffee table so she would see it when she wakes. For breakfast I hunted the cupboard for something quick and simple and I found a cereal bar so I ripped it open took a bite and checked my appearance and left for school.
Once I drove in I couldn't get Zach's word out of my head when he said I was gorgeous- do you know how that makes me feel coming from him!? Amazing that's what! I stepped out of my car and was locking the car when a pair of familiar arms wrapped around my waist, I smiled and turned round to be greeted by the most enchanting eyes you will ever see staring down on me.
"Hey babe, so you still ok with us going out?" I nodded struggling to get my words out, "good, by the way you look good in blue it suits you," he smirked down at me so I just smiled and held onto his hand and he pulled me over to the others. "So, you two together now?" Grant asked gesturing to mine and Zach's hand entwined together "Yeh, I asked her last night on the town tour" Zach responded before sitting on the grass and pulling me onto his lap and giving me a peck on the cheek. I blushed and he just did his infamous smirk I glanced up to see the Plastics walking towards us...
"Great this is all we need, The Plastics" Jonas said with a disgusted tone, Liz looked up at him and smiled - it was so obvious they liked each other just neither of them admitted it. "Look what the cat dragged in" Macey said send a piercing glare with her icy blue eyes to Tina. "Nice to see you to Macey, looks like you two are comfy," if looks could kill I would be dead in Zach's arms right now, no lie "I thought I told you yesterday, guess you need to learn who the boss is around here!" Zach's grip tightened around my waist as I tried to escape his grasp so I just stayed there and looked up at Tina "Looks like someone needs to wake up and smell the damn roses Tina, Zach and I are together cause Zach doesn't like you and he isn't your property so just please get lost and give up while you can" she was stunned once again from my response but instead of slapping me she just walked off and the seven of us burst out laughing as she stumbled in her dramatic exit.
"Jealous are we Gallagher Girl? Can't handle a bit of Goode competition?" Zach said playfully then adding his signature smirk "I'm sorry should I just let Tina have you then, Goode?" I responded playfully before giving him a kiss on the cheek. "That's enough love birds, the bells going to go soon so we better start heading in" Bex responded picking up her science book she was revising from, everyone else laughed while I just blushed and got up from Zach's lap and straightened out my dress and heading to homeroom.
On the way we were just talking about classes we had today my hand in Zach's hand laughing and joking with my new friends, things were finally getting normal, I couldn't help but smile. As we walked past a group of jocks I got a few winks and flirty smiles of the boys and in response Zach put a protective arm around my waist so I rested my head on his shoulder while we waked into homeroom.
~~~~ TIME SKIP TO FRIDAY END OF SCHOOL ~~~~
I hadn't had any bother off The Plastics all week so I guessed they got the message about Zach being mine not Tina's. "So pick you up at 5 then we'll go to diner together! It's forecast to get a bit chilly later so you might want to change" Bex shouted across the car park while getting into the car with Macey and Liz. I smiled back at them "OK, see you later!"
I might of only known Bex, Liz and Macey for less than a week but we have already become best friends- all seven of us actually. The six of them were best friends before I came along but I am now part of the popular group and it's great to be happy to go to school to see my best friends and of course my boyfriend! Life is good...
I walked into my house to be hit with the smell of vodka and beer, classy mother real classy. "Going out with your friends tonight Cammie? Including your boyfriend Zachary?" my mother slurred, great way to greet your daughter home wasted and covered in your own vomit! "Yeh, we are meeting at five then I'm staying over at Bex's, is that ok mum?" I smiled up at get trying to ignore the smell "Of course it is sweetie but don't come crying to me when they all realise what a great lump of trash you are!" my mother yelled I was used to it so I tried to ignore her and go into my room to get changed. But before I could my mum had hit me in the stomach causing me to double over in pain, she grabbed my hair and pulled me to the floor kicking me in my back and upper legs. Always missing my arms, face, neck and lower legs so visible skin. Her heels slashed into my back causing me to scream so high only dogs could hear it. My mum being a bitch did, "Shut up! Do you want complaints I can't move again its too stressful for me Cameron. I can't handle you during the week that's why I wish I sent you to a boarding school instead! I'm going out and won't be back until Sunday, later honey!" my mum stumbled over my bloody body and laughed then left for the weekend.
I pulled myself up the stairs, I hadn't even made it past the hallway before I got beat by my so called mother. I was used to it but that was the worst of all, I got into my room and went to get into the shower to clean my back. It wasn't as bad as it looked I grabbed some bandages and wrapped them around my body and thigh. I re did my makeup and re curled my hair, pulled on an A&F t shirt and some flower skinny jeans and some tan leather sandals. I looked ok for someone who had just been beaten up by her mother. I looked at my phone and it was 16:57, I went into the kitchen got some painkillers took two washed down with a can of 7UP then stuffed the box in my bag in for before I went to bed tonight. The doorbell rang and I grabbed my night bag and opened the door to Bex, Liz and Macey.
"Looking good Cammie, those jeans are super cute!" Macey shouted at me from the other side of the car before we got in. "Thanks Mace, that top is lush too." I smiled at Macey who smiled back. The drive consisted if four teenage girls belting their hearts out to Call Me Maybe, Black Heart, Wide Awake and Diamonds! We were all laughing at our singing voices as walked into the diner and went to the booth with the guys.
I sat next to Zach, who wrapped his arm around my waist which causes us to flinch cause of my back. "You okay Gallagher Girl, why do flinch when I touched your back?" he asked hurt and concern filling his eyes "I didn't mean to just get a slight bruise there from falling down the stairs this morning! No need to look so worried!" I respond trying to reassure him and kind of myself that I was ok. He looked down at my and leaned in and our lips met and we set there in perfect harmony while he wrapped his other hand around my waist and I placed my hands on the back of his head. "Don't mind but I don't want to throw up my milkshake so can you to make out somewhere else?" Grant asked with a stupid grin on his face. I blushed and Zach did too which meant he glared at Grant. The guys had already ordered their drinks so the girls and I went to the counter and ordered four diet cokes and then returned to our seats.
"So, want to go ice skating tomorrow? I hear that new one a ten minute drive north is meant to be really good!" Jonas said while I sipped on my drink trying to ignore the pain my back was in. "Sound like a plan Jonas!" Liz answered way too eagerly! Jonas smiled down onto her, his glassed slipping off his nose. "Will you two just kiss already! It's obvious you both are obsessed with each-other!" Bex shouted across the table which made Liz and Jonas turn crimson, but that didn't stop then lip locking for a good two minutes! "Get up there Jonas!" Grant shouted and then wolf whistled so the new lovers pulled away and turn even redder than before!
For the rest of the night we just talked and laughed and I got to realise that I have actually found truly bonkers friends! When we all got back to Bex's she turned on some music and decided she wanted to play truth or dare. Isn't that a game for 14 year olds, apparently from the rooms reaction Bex's version of truth or dare was a lot different to mine...
A/N There will be a ZachPOV in the next chapter, I wonder how the dares go…
