Another ultra short chapter from Zach's POV. But I mean short chapters can be kinda nice sometimes3 This chapter is kinda boring too, sorry about that.
Zach POV
My world was ending. It had been three weeks and 5 days and we still had no idea where Cammie was. She could be anywhere on the planet. Cam's mother had sent out numerous search parties. But everyone knew it wouldn't do any good. Any body who took Cammie, wouldn't be sloppy at all. I thought about her every second of every hour of everyday. I never stopped thinking about her. Everything she has been through, every loss she has had to put up with, and she is the strongest person I know. Why did it have to happen to her? Out of every single girl in the world…and I had to fall in love with the one that either runs away, or gets kidnapped. Can't the world just leave us alone for like…a second? No, because that would make life easy. And apparently, easy is boring.
Every night before I try to fall asleep-which almost never happens-I think of her beautiful face. Her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, her lips. Oh those lips. I wish more than anything that Cammie was here right now so I could kiss her. So I could hold her, and never want to let go. And if I had it my way, I never would.
Cam brought out the good in me. She was the only reason I was not like my mother. She was the reason I was still sane. It was all thanks to her that I was not the killer I was raised to be. Sometimes, when I just wanted to give up completely, she was always there to remind me about all the things I love in life. All the good things. And I hoped I did the same for Cammie. I knew she could almost never love me as much as I love her, but I hoped she loved me just enough to never give up. To know that no matter what, as long as we are together, we can take on anything. But right then, we weren't together, and I was about to snap. And to keep from breaking down entirely, I just had to keep thinking how she's out there, and I had to find her.
I looked out the window. We had all gone back to the Gallagher Academy campus, and were being watched almost every second. Which was very annoying. Miss Morgan said she didn't want anyone of us running away on some insane, stupid, and life threatening mission that we could't handle. So she said we would stay there for a majority of the summer and for the upcoming semester. I remembered all the times Cammie and I sat in the exact spot I was sitting in at that moment. It made my heart shrivel up and die.
I thought of all the times we were together. I could remember all of them. From the elevator in D.C., to five seconds before she was gone. The first time I kissed her hurt the most. I remember it like it was yesterday. How I dipped her in front of everybody. How surprised she was, but how she didn't resist at all. I knew as I watched the academy fade into the distance that day that I would see her again. And look what we are to each other now. When I saw Cam in D.C., I never thought I would love her. But I do now. That's all that matters. And that, my friends, is why I'd find her.
