I looked at my fellow sisters and brothers. My mother and Aunt Abby had tears streaming down their faces. Solomon only had a little pride shown in his eyes. I looked at my best friends and my boy - well I'm not sure what we are (AN: Zach and Cammie) anymore. Only Liz looked happy to see me. She jumped up from her seat and gave me the biggest and tightest hug. I just stood there, my arms hanging limply at my sides. She pulled back with a look of confusion.
"Cammie?" Liz's eyes held more hurt than I ever could've imagined.
"I'm not the same person anymore." And it was true. I had grown up over the last 4 months despite being tortured. I left Liz standing there and went to my mom, Abby, and Mr. Solomon.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. I held their gazes one by one, but it lingered on my mom the longest.
"Cameron Anne Morgan. Do you have any idea what you did?" My mother's voice was barely over a whisper. I knew that she was serious, angry, upset, sad, and disappointed in me. She had only used that voice once. That was when my father went MIA.
"Good to see you again, Mrs. Morgan." Erik said quietly. I forgot he was even beside me. The whole Hall was still quiet listening to our exchange.
"Erik James. It's been a long time. How are you?" My mother's voiced had softened.
"I'm doing much better, thanks to Cam." Erik gave me a little nudge and grinned. I grinned back.
"That's very good news. You two should find a seat." She dismissed us without so much a glance at me.
I led Erik to an empty table in the corner of the Hall near the window. Just as we sat down, a shadow fell over our table. I looked up and saw that it was Zach.
"I see you've forgotten about me." He stated. He glanced at Erik and then back at me. I didn't- couldn't- say anything to him because I didn't have anything to say.
"You have nothing to say? After all this time? Wow, Cammie. That's low, even for you." Zach left after that.
Tears stung my eyes, but I wiped them away before anyone could see. Unfortunately, Erik saw it and he took my hand in his across the table and squeezed. I squeezed it back. By this time, everyone had resumed eating.
"I can't even stand being near him, not after what I did. I know that it was a long time ago, but still." I said to Erik.
"You didn't know, Cammie. You were-"He was cut off by a loud bang. The doors to the Grand Hall burst open, revealing a girl with black ski mask on. She scanned the room before her eyes landed one me.
"Remember me, Cammie?"
I knew that voice anywhere.
It was my twin sister Casey.
