"Hey Cam." Zach said as he walked through my open door in the morning.
I smiled up at him as he walked closer to me, "Hey." I said, walking back to the closet – Macey approved, of course – and pulled out a grey jumper. "What's up?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I just wanted to see if you were up." He said and he sat down on the edge of my bed. Did he want to talk about last night? Did he think it was a mistake? Oh my god! He thought it was a mistake. I looked out of the window and then back towards him. "Do you want to go downstairs and get some breakfast?" he asked and I nodded.
"Come on." I said and I walked out of the room first. I sat down at the counter as he whipped up some batter. "Thanks." I smiled as he set the plate down in front of me.
"Eat." He told me and I cut some off with my fork, he had seen me eat so many times – so why did I suddenly feel so self conscious in front of him.
"We have to go!" Macey came charging in to the room.
Zach pulled open a drawer and grabbed a knife as he asked, "Who's here?"
"There are NO good shops!" Macey screamed and Zach sighed before shoving the knife back in to the drawer, Macey was lucky that she didn't have a knife sized hole in the middle of her forehead.
"That is not a reason to move!" I exclaimed and she looked at me with disbelieving eyes. "That is never a reason to move."
That was obviously the wrong thing to say to Macey, what the hell was I thinking? Answer: I wasn't thinking! "That is always a good reason to move!" she yelled, walking really close to me. I just thanked every Supreme Being that she was on the wrong side of the counter for the knives; I did not want that knife sized hole in my head. "What kind of girl are YOU!" she ended up screaming the end of the sentence.
"A normal one." Zach muttered under his breath, but it wasn't low enough.
Macey's outraged eyes turned to him. She never really liked Zach, and I doubt that she was going to be crazy about him after that comment. "Are you saying that I am NOT NORMAL, Zachary Goode?" she asked.
I picked up my plate and moved towards the couch, one less potentially harmful thing that she could throw at Zach – me obviously, but I didn't want her to ruin the pancakes either! Zach is a really good cook, you wouldn't think so, but he is.
"Macey calm down!" I told her from my safe position, the comforting arms of the sofa. She turned to me and then took a deep breath.
"My anger is a balloon and I'm letting it fly away!" (A /N my official favourite quote ever... from cougar town!) "Ok." She smiled and then walked to the entrance. "Only because if I killed you, it would crush Cammie." And with that she turned and walked up the stairs.
This was so going to be a weird day!
Zach POV
I was still battling with myself. What should I do? Should I protect her? Or should I follow orders? I could take her away on my own, and protect everyone else. Or I could get everyone to try and help me infiltrate the CoC head quarters.
Every option had the possibility of someone dying. And Cammie would be in danger either way. I finished washing up – normally I would leave that for Grant – and then turned to Cammie.
"I want to infiltrate the Circle of Cavan." I told her and she looked at me with blank eyes. "The group that's after you, it's run by my mother." She started to back away from me, and when I went to touch her she flinched. "I'm not going to hurt you." I told her and she nodded, but her posture was still stiff and she was still sitting just out of my reach.
Way to go Zach, she now hates you. Thank you so much mother! I cursed her silently in my head.
Sorry for the really late update, and for the short and probably quite suckish chapter. But please review and tell me what you think! Love K :)
