Author's note: Last Chapter! Thanks for everyone who stuck with me throughout Day By Day! I wanna thank everyone for the LOVELY reviews! Please Favorite and Subscribe for future fanfics! Please read the note at the bottom! This was based on a true story (Not the spy part) and I wanna share with you the story behind the story! Get the tissue boxes ladies! Here's Chapter 9! ENJOY!

I'm punching 7 over and over and over and over and over and over again. The lady at the front desk takes one whiff at me and tells me "Take the elevator to Level Seven." Even though I know no matter how fast I punch the button, the elevator won't go any faster, but I didn't care. I didn't realized I was already crying. Balling actually. There was a soft ding! And with that, I'm rushing down the hall, my feet stumbling across from each other.

The hospital was grey. The walls were grey, the ceiling was grey, and the floors were grey. It made me feel suddenly dizzy. The hallway leads into one big double door. In front of the the double door were grey chairs, lined up next to each other. From behind, I saw them. Mom, Mr. Solomon, Madame Dabney, Tina, Bex, and Liz.

I didn't realize that Macey was standing right behind me. She grips my shoulders and spins me around so I'm facing her. She gives me a big hug.

"Cam," Her voice has never been weaker, "I'm so, SO, sorry for lying," She's taking off her necklace as tears rolled down her soft cheeks. Macey slowly opens my palms and places the necklace inside, enclosing my fingers. The necklace burns my palm. "Zach... he really loves you," She's saying through tears. I'm slamming myself against the wall now, my hands covering my eyes as I cry and cry.

"Where's Zach?" I called as my senses arrived.

Macey's eyes bugged with terror, her mouth gaped and she looked at the big grand doors.

And then I snapped. I'm running towards the double doors now, passing my family and friends, banging on it. It's locked. I'm trying to knock them down, but it's no use. I'm clawing and thrashing and screaming crazily.

"ZACH! ZACCHHH! ZZZAAACHH!" The doors still aren't opening.

My mom's rushing towards me, "Cam? What are you doing here? Stop it!"

I'm pushing her away and I'm throwing myself at the door.

"ZZAACHH!" I call out again. Frantically punching and screaming.

Mr. Solomon is holding me back, he pulls me away from the doors.

"NOO!" I shouted, kicking him and thrashing at him insanely. My heart is pounding loudly in my ear. I could hear my whole world collapsing.

"ZAAAH!"

I'm lying on the floor now, looking up at the grey ceiling, wondering if they'll ever paint it orange or sky blue one day.

The double doors opened slowly, and two doctors reel out a gurney. I'm sitting up, kneeling next to the gurney. It's him, it's Zach. His face pale, his lips purple. I'm pressing my ear against his heart, but it didn't matter. I already knew.

Zachary Goode is dead.

I'm clutching my chest, crying, my teardrops rolling down his cheeks. There were white sheets draped over his silent body.

No...

I'm in a mental breakdown. I take his hand and I hold it in mine. His big, strong hands. I'm crying and numbed and so confused that I didn't even spot the note.

A note. Crinkled up in his hands. I unfold it in my trembling fingers and read the words silently in my head.

Hey Gallagher Girl,

If you're reading this, I guess you know, huh?

Well I just wanna say I'm sorry for not telling

you in the first place. Live on with your life.

You should always be like that bright sky,

and that white cloud. Yes, you should

always smile like that. Don't look back.

Don't dread over me, and remember to live

on. Take only the good memories we've

shared together. Keep them in your heart.

Day By Day, I wonder if I'll make it. Day By Day,

I think only of you. Be Happy. Please remember

all the happy times, ONLY the happy times.

I'll love you forever, I'll always be watch over you.

Stay Strong.

-Z

A tear rolls down my cheeks, and lands on the evaporpaper. The tear lands on "forever" and the word begins to dissolve. Who knew forever lasted such a short time?

He's gone.

Forever.

Author's Note: I'm so sorry for giving you a sad ending, but that's the thing. Sometimes, life doesn't have a happy ending, and when it doesn't, you gotta find a new one. If you guys don't understand the ending, here's the explanation:

Zach is diagnosed with Radiation Sickness. It's a disease you get from toxic like bombs and such. It wasn't the natural sickness, as you read above when Macey said "It wasn't natural" and you guys can kinda figure out who caused that and why. He knows he's going to die, so he pretends to be with Macey so that Cammie would get really mad and wouldn't be sad when he dies. Everyone except Cammie knows that they were only pretending. But at the hospital, Macey couldn't take it and calls Cammie and explains everything, Cammie rushes to see Zach but then it was too late.

This was based on a true story. It happened to my aunt, and her boyfriend did the same to protect her, except she found out the truth 4 years later when she re-united with her best friend. It was called Day by Day because if you guys have ever seen the music video "Haru Haru" by Big Bang, they had a similar plot, and Haru Haru is Korean for Day By Day. I'm sorry if some of you are disappointed in the ending, I will try harder in my future fanfics! Lots of Love! -Kimberly, oxoxoxo
