A/N: I feel as if I'm saying this a lot but thanks for much for the reviews. I love to hear what you guys would like to think about the chapter. I'm thinking I should do chapters like the last one where it's a tiny climax I guess? Anyway and you guys can choose the turning point. Tell me what you think about that. Also, a lot of you said 2 where Zach catches up so that's what's happening. Now onto the chapter. Is it weird to update so quickly?
Cammie:
"Come on! Just slow down a bit" I hear Zach yell but I don't really care. I turn around to yell at him.
"Stop freaking following me and f off!" I yell and continue towards Macey's. I'm about to cross the street when it signals for me to wait. I curse inwardly. I look around and smile to myself when I realize I lost Zach.
"You can't get rid of me that easily" I hear a voice say that I now recognize as Zach's. I groan and turn around sending him a glare. He's shirtless wearing basketball shorts and trainers. He must have been running before.
"I'm not in the mood Goode for your teasing and shit so leave me alone" I say turning to cross the street but it's rush hour so I have to wait a bit more.
"Come on, you're still mad at me? I said I was kidding" He says. I turn back around.
"No jackass, I'm pissed off at my mom" I say without thinking then bite my lip and quickly turn around.
"Where are you going?" He asks. I shrug.
"Macey's place" I say after a while. He nods.
"Not a good idea, she has a family dinner thing remember?" He says. Oh shit I forgot about that. She begged me to come but being with more than one Mchenry at a time is pretty hard. I can't go to Bex's she's doing after school sports and Liz is doing extra credit with Jonas. He finally got the balls to ask her out on a date, even if it is school related.
"Come on" He says and grabs my arm without notice dragging me back home.
"I'm not going back to my house" I say while trying to pull away but he has a strong grip. I guess being a quarterback on your school's football team means you got a strong arm.
"Who said anything about your house?" He says continuing to walk with me in tow.
"I'm not going into your house either." I say trying to loosen the grip. He stops suddenly and holdboth my arms down. I'm squirming but he's not letting go. I'm surprised my arm isn't bruising.
"We're not going anyone's house alright? Just trust me" He says softly. I stare at him. I can either kick him where the sun don't shine and run away back home or agree. I don't know much places in this town to go so I shrug.
"ok" I say and he nods and lets go of my wrist to hold my hand instead. What the hell? I think as we continue walking back. I'm not surprised with him holding my hand but the fact that I'm enjoying it. When we finally reach our house he opens his car's passenger seat and tells me to get in before disappearing into his house and coming out 10 minutes later with a shirt on, keys in one hand, and a black bag in the other he puts it in the trunk and comes over to the driver's seat. He gets in and starts driving.
"Where are we going?" I ask after we get out of the driveway.
"You'll see" He says his eyes on the rode.
"You're not gonna rape me are you?" I said raising an eyebrow. He grins.
"No, don't worry" He says then smirks. We stop at a red light and he leans in so his mouth is next to my ear.
"Although it's not rape when you like it" He says and I shove him away. He laughs while I just shake my head.
"You perv" I mutter. He looks at me curiously.
"What?" I say when he doesn't look away for awhile. I shift uncomftrably.
"Go, green light" I say and the rest of the ride is in silence.
**************************They arrive**********************
"What is this place" I say, it's a pond area that has high grasses. I would have thought it's in the middle of no where on a picture.
"It looks like no one comes here" I say following him down a small trail and I realize it's a lake not a pond.
"That's because I'm the only one who comes here" He says. Incase you're wondering we are holding hands as he guides me to a calm spot infront of the lake. He takes out a blanket from the bag and spreads it out and sits on it. I still don't know what's in the other bag. I sit down cautiously next to him. He laughs.
"I'm not gonna hurt you you know" He says amused by cautiousness.
"I didn't say you were" I say. His face turns serious.
"I like to come here as a getaway" He says out of no where.
"Like an escape. Here I could care less about football, grades, family. I could do anything here." He says.
"Why do you like to escape those things. I mean don't you like football and your family?" I find myself asking. He says down on his back with his arms behind his head.
"Football's alright but it's sometimes too much pressure" He says turning his head towards me before glancing back at the sky. I sit facing the lake hugging my legs to my chest.
"As for family.." He let's a small laugh.
"Not the best one" He says. I raise my eyebrows. Is he basically admiting to having a screwed up family?
"What do you mean?" I ask curiously. He sits up facing me.
"My parents fight all the time. it's such a pain in the ass. They freaking fight about what type of milk to buy for crying out loud. Like today, my dad yelled at my mom to stop butting into my life. What the hell?" He says clearly frustrated.
"It's as if he's trying to cause trouble" He says then lays back down in his former position.
"So when you said your dad is a dick you weren't kidding." I say and he nods.
"What's your story?" he says. I bite my lip, he told me his problems it's only fair I tell him mine.
"Well-" I start but he cuts me off.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want" He says. I shrug.
"It's only fair I tell you" I say as an excuse to just letting go.
"My dad was in the army but went missing when I was 6. My mom completely broke down. A freaking mess and messed me up too. Soon she started working as a distraction but eventually turned into a damn robot working nonstop. She's here for the week only because of work. The last time I saw her was when we moved and she's only here for shitty work?" I say shaking my head in anger. He sits up indicating I can continue.
"And my aunt.. I haven't seen her since my dad went missing. As if she doesn't care" I say and realize I'm sobbing. Zach hugs me and I cry into his neck. I haven't cried this much in years. I pull away hugging my knees again.
"I'm sorry" I say wiping my eyes.
"Nothing to be sorry of you know" He says and I nod. For the next 10 minutes we sit in silence. He suddenly gets up and peels his shirt off.
"Zach! What the hell?! Are you gonna strip?" I ask. He laughs.
"Relax, as much as I know you want me to I'm just jumping in." He removes his shoes too and jumps in. A bit of water sprinkles on me.
"You idiot" I say laughing.
"Come in?" He says smiling. I shake my head. I'm in jeans and blouse, blaze, and suede boots. No way am I coming in.
"Aww come on, why not?" He whines. I grin at hsi childish behavior.
"I'm not ruining these clothes" I say even though I could always buy more. Hey, when you have a workoholic mother you're gonna have money.
"So? Just take it off." He says then gives me a sly grin.
"Ew you digusting perv" I say laughing.
"I'm not stripping" I say.
"Just remove your shoes and blazer then it's freaking hot" He says. I roll my eyes but agree since I think so too.
"Now give me a hand" He says sticking his hand out. I roll my eyes.
"I'm not falling for that" I say. He shrugs and gets up.
"Suit yourself. Guess we're doing it the hard way" He says.
"What?" I say as he comes nearer. He grabs me and puts me over his shoulder.
"ZACH! What the hell!?" I yell hitting his back but he just throws me into the lake.
"Jerk" I say. He bows.
"The one and only" He says before jumping in and tries to dunk me.
"Idiot" I mutter as I shove his head down.
