Here's the 11th chapter:) Hope you guys are okay with it! Please review! :)
Bex's POV
We finished our mission – we left Catherine in the highest security levels of the CIA. We could finally meet Cammie. I hadn't seen her for such a long time and I missed her a lot. I could see everyone was tired and tense, but we didn't let that bother us.
I entered the room. I held my breath when my glance fell upon my best friend, who now lay upon the bed.
Her arms and legs were covered with bandages, and her figure looked smaller than ever. I walked quietly towards her and held her hand, and then she suddenly jerked. She flailed her arms around wildly and started screaming.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" she screamed. I backed away immediately, shocked from what had happened to her.
Zach instantly went to her side and started to soothe her.
"Cammie," he whispered gently to her ear, "We're here. Your mom, Liz, Bex, Mace, don't be scared, you're safe."
It seemed as though it had helped because Cammie slowly calmed down and started breathing normally again.
I couldn't stand it anymore. My best friend, the one that had gone through so much with me had been weakened to such a state. I strolled out of the room, planning to calm myself down before going back in.
Cammie's POV
I was having a nightmare. I was dreaming that Catherine was cutting off my finger when I was conscious. I was screaming like mad but another voice cut into my dreams. It was – it was Zach.
Zach, the boy I had been dreaming about when I was held captive. I opened my eyes to see him staring into my face.
"Zach," I whispered to him.
"Yes, Gallagher Girl?" I could tell his composure was broken but he managed to keep it steady for me.
"Thank you, for being here," I squeezed his hand.
"Anytime, Cam," he kissed my forehead. He caressed the parts, which I was bandaged at. My knees, my arms and lastly, he examined the stub on my left hand. He looked like he was going to puke but he gathered himself to ask, "What did my mother do, Cammie?"
I swallowed. He had emphasized on every single word and I said, "It wasn't bad Zach, Catherine made me unconscious before she um, cut it off. I'm serious, I can't feel anything."
His facial expression changed. "Stop it, stop it, Cammie. Don't tell me my mother isn't a monster. Don't tell me she didn't hurt you badly because she did. And she's the witch that gave birth to me!" he yelled this out loud.
I try to stand up and I'm a little unstable. I cradle him into my arms, and now it's my turn to soothe him.
"Zach, it doesn't matter. She may have been the one to give birth to you, but you are you, she is she. I will recover, okay?" I take a deep breath, before adding lightly, "I love you."
His eyes widen but I lower my voice so only his ears can hear, "I thought I would never have many chances to say it, so there."
I pull away, embarrassed by my very own words, but then Zach gives me the smile he knows I like best, and tells me that he'll leave us girls for a short catch-up.
