**2 weeks later**
"Ugh! I can't take it anymore! This is useless!" I was pacing Zachs' room with my arms crossed, raging about how therapy was frustrating me. Two days after the decision to put me in therapy mom had organized for a psychologist from Langley (they had them for spys who need help after coming home from bad missions) to come stay with us for a few months to help me get my memory back but it had been a week and a half and all we'd done was visualise me leaving and getting onto a plane and she'd asked me weird questions that had nothing to do with me leaving or my memory.
Questions about my years at Gallagher, my years not at Gallagher, she'd asked me about my relationships with Zach, with my friends, with my mom and she'd asked me about my dad, what I thought happened to him, how I felt about his disappearance. She didn't even seeme concerned about my summer and that was all I was concerned about. I was growing even more annoyed every session and I'd had a one-hour session with her every day since the one she arrived. I had just finished one particularly frustrating one which is why I'd found Zach, dragged him back to his room and spent a half hour ranting while he sat patiently, listening. Until apparently he decided it was time for me to calm down.
"Cammie. Hey, come here." He stretched out his arms and I huffed but went over to the bed and climbed in. He was laying on his side with his head propped up on his hand so I layed the same way, facing him. His other hand reached up to caress the side of my face, and my anger immediately melted away. I closed my eyes and focused all of my attention on him. The way his hand felt against my face, the way I always felt around him, just him in general. "Before the therapy started you were told these things take time. You need to be patient and I know it's hard not knowing but I'm here for you and the girls are here for you and so is your mom. It's not useless. Eventually you will have the memories back but right now you need to do exactly what Dr. Hawk tells you to do and try to wait." I sighed, he had a point.
"Fine. It just seems like it's going way too slow. School is starting in like a week and we've made like no progress. All she does is ask me about my life and the people in it like, my friends and mom and you." He raised his eyebrows.
"You talk about me in therapy? Hmm." I gave a quiet laugh.
"It's against my own will. She gets to pick what we talk about. Apparently my relationships are important and since I have a relationship with you, we have to talk about does it surprise you that I would I would talk about you? You're important to me." I said the last part shyly, turning my eyes down to look at my fingers but he just grabbed my chin, to make me look into his eyes. He was grinning at me. His face was so happy, his eyes were sparkling and I mentally took a picture as my heart rate sped up. He was so gorgeous. And so mine.
"That's good, cuz you're important to me too. More important than anything." I smiled at him, melting at his words. He was always so good to me.
"I'm so glad you're here. I don't know how I would get through this without you." He smiled but it didn't quite reach his eyes. I grabbed his hand and gave him a questioning look. He looked nervous about something.
"I guess now would be a bad time to tell you that I might have to leave for a few days." I looked down again. I didn't want him going anywhere, I wanted him right there where I could see him and know he was safe. But it wasn't my decision. If Zach wanted to leave I wasn't going to stop him. I knew I could though. If I showed him that I was really upset by it and asked him to stay, I knew he would but there was no way I was about to do that. It was only for a few days, I'd gone a lot longer before without him. But that was before. Before, when our relationship was based off cryptic, vague conversations that left me confused and frustrated but there had always been something that had drawn me to him. Now I was more than a little worried about what might happen if he left the safety of the academy walls. I closed my eyes to keep the panic out.
"Tell me you aren't going to see her." If he was going to find his mom I swear...
"No I'm not I promise. One Joes' old Circle contacts called me. He told me that my mother is recruiting at Blackthorne this September. And that she wants my old room mates Grant, Jonas and Nick. I just need to go to Blackthorne and see them. I need to do something. I just don't know what yet." I nodded. I felt so bad, if Bex, Liz and Mace were in trouble like that I dont know what I would do. I pulled him into me, hoping that it might comfort him at least a little bit. He took a deeep breath and hugged me back. We were sitting up, I was in Zachs lap with my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He had his arms wrapped around me and I was content. I loved being held by him.
"You could bring them here. We were planning on you staying the year at Gallagher anyways, my mom will be ok with it, the girls will be ecstatic and I'll be with you so I'll be happy." He laughed into my hair but I could hear the smile in his voice.
"I'll see. Thanks for this Gallagher Girl, you're the best." He squeezed me tighter and I lightly planted a couple kisses on his neck. I reached a spot right under his right ear and I felt him tense up and make a small noise in the back of his throat. I smiled but before I could say anything he moved us so I was lying down with my head on his pillow. He pulled back to kiss me and I responded with just as much passion. Kissing Zach was like nothing else. Everytime we did, it felt like everything bad in the world disappeared and all I could think about was him. How he made me feel, how his smell and touch always calmed me in an instant, except of course when he did something like this. When he made my pulse race and my heart skip beats. He was hovering over me on his elbows but I could feel his entire body pressed lightly against mine and I just kept wanting him closer. He pulled away from my lips and went to my neck and jaw, kissing everywhere until I could barely think straight. He made his way to my ear and whispered into it, "I love you." I froze. I pulled back a little and looked at his eyes. He was nervous, I could see that, but I knew he was telling the truth. So I took a deep breath, smiled a bit and pecked his lips before responding.
"I love you too." His face lit up and we made out for a while longer. Afterwards we settled down, my back to his chest, his arms draped around my stomach and we just layed in that position for hours. We talked and laughed, kissed a little more and then, after he told me again that he loved me, we fell asleep together.
**2 days later**
I had stayed in Zachs room the past 2 nights, getting in as much time with him as possible before he had to leave but now that the day was here I was dreading it. I was sitting on the bed watching as he got packed. He noticed and came over to sit in front of me, smiling slightly. I tried to smile back as he took both my hands in his and rubbed mine.
"It's only for a little while ok? I'll be back in less than 2 weeks. I promise. I also promise I'll be careful. You just hang in there. The girls have beene missing you, spend lots of time with them and your mom. The time will fly by. We gotta get downstairs now. Come on." I nodded and walked hand-in-hand with him down to the front doors were a car was waiting to take him to an airport. I gave him a big hug and we kissed for a minute.
"I love you. Be careful. I'll see you soon?" He smiled and nodded.
"Yes you will. And I love you too. A lot. Sorry for ditching you for the first day of Senior Year." I laughed a little and shrugged it off. He pecked me on the cheek and walked out of the Academy. A tear rolled down my cheek but I wiped it away and started back to my dorm to see my friends.
"The time will fly by." Yeah I doubt it.
