I love you guys. I really do. You know why? BECAUSE I GOT OVER 50 REVIEWS! YAYS! I would've updated sooner but I got sick. I feel the need to clear a couple things up before I start the chapter though:
-Belle is NOT Bex. They are two different people.
-Belle did not go to Gallagher
-Yes, Belle did give up her cover easily because she doesn't want to lie to Zach. As you are about to find out, Zach is her friend.
-It isn't a good thing that one of the kids is Zach's. Belle loves Zach in a brotherly way. She wants her Grant back, but he has been gone for 1 year (Belle is 6 months pregnant)
That's it. Time to start the chapter!
Chapter 7-
"That picture was taken about 3 years ago. Two years later…" More tears came rolling down her cheeks. "They took Grant away from me. And they took you away from Cammie."
"Who is 'they'?"
She looked at me sadly. "Your mother."
"What?"
"Your mother is the head of a terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan, or COC. For years they have been after Cameron Ann Morgan and her family. When you were a sophomore, you met Cammie for the first time on a mission in D.C. Your school, Blackthorne, did and exchange with her school and you two spent loads of time together. Grant met Cammie's best friend Bex and I guess they went out a few times. Then Bex found out Grant's parents were part of the COC and she broke up with him. I was already a part of the COC because my parents died and your mother kind of adopted me. I became one of her top assassins and I killed hundreds of CIA agents with your sister, Lia. We were best friends growing up and we worked well together. I always had a crush on Grant, and when Bex broke up with him I guess he just needed a friend. We fell in love quickly and the next thing I know we're getting married." She smiled as if remembering. "You were Grant's best man. And as your date, you brought Cammie. Lia wanted to kill her, but I convinced her to wait until after the wedding to do anything. She agreed but before she could try anything, Grant snuck you and Cammie out a back door. I'd gotten the chance to talk to Cammie, and I thought she was just the sweetest thing. Over the years Cammie and I spent a lot of time together in secret talking and getting to know each other. I'd never realized how terrible it was for her to have to keep running just to avoid being killed. I became pregnant with Grant and resigned from the COC. All four of us started spending a lot of time together. Your mother was pissed that I had betrayed her like that. She didn't want to take it out on me because I was like her daughter. So she took it out on Cammie."
Belle stopped and sighed, trying to regain her thoughts. "They took Bex. They kidnapped her while she was on a mission and most likely killed her. She hasn't been seen in 6 years."
"I remembered that," I said. "They were dragging her away and Cammie was screaming. I told her there was nothing we could do and that she was gone."
"I had a feeling you'd remembered something in the car. I just wasn't sure what." She continued with what she had been telling me. "Cammie seemed to break after that. She was seldom ever happy and she just waited to hear that someone else she loved was gone. That picture is one of the only moments when she seemed to be truly ever happy. Otherwise, she was just a mask. It was like she wasn't even there. It killed you to see her like that and you tried to help her as best you could. But she just couldn't be helped. You guys moved in here with me and Grant because you had to work and you didn't want to leave her alone. It was working out well for a while, but then they took her away. I had gone to the store to pick up some medicine because she was sick and when I came back she was gone. Your mom and Lia were there. They told me that Cammie had to be 'taken care of' and that if I didn't pretend to be your wife they would kill Grant. I was confused because I don't even look like Cammie, but you came home and you acted like Cammie and Grant never existed. I thought for sure that little Grant would notice you weren't his father, but he seemed to think you were. I still don't know how they did it."
"I can't believe it." That's all I could say. As Belle was telling me all of these things, I could remember little bits and pieces of what she was saying. I remembered that day in D.C. when I first saw her. I remembered kissing her in front of her entire school during a dance. I remembered her jumping from the top of a waterfall just to escape my mother. My mother. She was evil, that I could be sure of. I remembered marrying Cammie and swearing to her that I would protect her at all costs. I remembered my mom coming to my work one day. We had tea.
"It was the tea." I knew I was right as soon as I said it. "She gave me tea so that I would forget Cammie. I'd forget Grant. I'd forget everything."
"You didn't forget for too long, though. You'd remember things and eventually your sister decided that it was too dangerous to keep you around. She poisoned you so that you would forget everything you have ever known. That was about 4 months ago. We told everyone you had amnesia."
"What about the ice cream parlor? Cammie was there. Why didn't she say anything?"
"I didn't even realize she was there until we watched the video. I called Lia because I was scared, but I didn't realize she would bring your mother. Cammie knows the risks involved. She loves you very much. I helped her escape from the COC prison she was in. I wanted to bring her to you, but she said she wouldn't come because they would kill Grant if I did. She must've been watching you."
"What about our wedding?"
"Computer editing. It's quite simple."
This was too much for me to handle. I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to see her. I wanted Cammie.
Belle seemed to know exactly what I was thinking because the next moment she stood up and put her hand out. "Come on," she said.
I took her hand and she pulled me up. She grabbed the car keys and walked out the back door. I followed her and asked, "Where are we going?"
"We're going to see Cammie."
The soonest I will be able to update again is Tuesday night, but I gave you a lot of information to mull over in your little heads. Please review!
