Chapter 2

CAMMIE POV;

Zach and I jumped in the car quickly, and drove back home, where the gang was now waiting. I had called them on the way back, telling them about the call Zachs' mom called me. I just didn't know what to do. But when me and Zach were left alone in the living room, he wanted to have a talk,

"Cam"

"Yeah?"

"Lets just run away"

"What?"

"Lets run away"

"But I- Zach, your mom is after me. After us. How will we get by? Where will we go-"

"Cam, I know she is after us that is why I'm saying we should run away, and we can get by I have money, you have money and we won't be gone long, we just need to make her leave you alone. When I left her she didn't seem to have any reaction that would show me she would do this now, but I had a gut feeling she would do something. And we can go anywhere."

"Okay"

"What?"

"Okay. I'll run away with you"

"Really?"

I sigh. "Yeah, Zach I love you, and I trust that you can protect me from her, and if this is the best option I'll take it"

"Okay, we should get packing then"

"What? When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow"

"But, how am I supposed to tell the gang? Macey, Bex, Liz"

"Cam, we can't. You will have to tell them when we have already left"

I sigh once more, "Okay"

*The next day*

I had everything I needed packed in a backpack, I can't bring to much or I won't be able to carry it. Zach just brought some things stuffed into his usual navy duffel. "Ready?" Zach appeared by the door behind me. I nod, "Yeah" I pull the backpack onto my pack, doing up the zip of my jacket and stepping out of the door, away from my roseville life, temporarily.

We drove for miles, hours passing fast. I knew Zach had planned where were going, but didn't tell me, probably going to surprise me of our destination to run away to. "Where are we going?" I finally blurted out, looking out the window at the everlasting landscapes, of trees and grass and the odd few horses dotted along the meadows in the distance. "Were friends besides wondering where we are, are probably trying to sort out the mom, Nathan, James situation. I just hope they don't find us.

Finally we arrived and just then I realised we were in New york, "Really? New york?" He smiled and nodded as we pulled up in the hotel parking lot. He knew I had always wanted to go to new york but had never got the chance, "Aw Zach, you know how much I have always wanted to come here" He smile and nods once again "I know"

He leans in, pressing his to mine for a moment before we get out of the car and walk into the hotel. Zach checks us in with a different name so we aren't dicovered if anyone ever comes here, once were checked in we go up to our room. It was really pretty, and Macey would have been inpressed how well they decorated this place. I smile at the thought. I wasn't gonna see them in quite a while. I sat down on the couch by the window.

"You okay Gallagher girl?" Zach sits down next to me, placing a hand on my knee, searching my eyes, noticing my sudden train of thought.

"What if we don't make it? What if they find us?"

Like it? Hate it?
