Chapter 9

I felt something pounding on my chest. I groggily opened my eyes and immediately saw the most intense green eyes. Then I remembered what happened. I'd gotten pushed or bumped into the water, and then hit my head. I slowly sat up, with help from Zach. I saw relief in his eyes, but almost like sadness in my friends'.

"We better get some ice on that bump/bruise," Zach said pulling my up onto my feet. The crowd mingled away when they saw that I was fine. I tried to walk, but oddly enough, my reflex was bad, so Zach pulled me to him, so that I was leaning against him, and gently led me to the kitchen, and got an ice pack. We both sat in the kitchen stool. I had a massive headache and I felt sleepy. Zach studied me and the said,

"We need to get you to a doctor, where's your change of clothes?"

"Car," I said faintly.

"Okay, I'll get it. Stay here." I managed to nod my head, but got a major headache when I did so. Zach was about to leave, but I saw a flash of white, and I grabbed Zach's hand.

"Huh?'' Zach said confused. I looked at his abdominal and chest. There were faint white scars, and AN EIGHT PACK! I felt dizzy just thinking about that. I looked at his eyes and asked (with my eyes) if those were from his uncle. He said yes. I then asked him if he went swimming often, and again he replied, only to say no. I let go of his arm and he went to go change, so he could go out and get my clothes. (A/N This might be confusing so I'll explain. Everyone who attended the pool party brought a change of clothes, because it winter, but Cammie left her clothes in the car, so Zach's going to change into his clothes, and then get Cammie's clothes. Also the conversation that Cammie and Zach just had was completely with their eyes)

"OH MY GOSH!" Bex yelled." That was the longest conversation, with eyes, that'd I'd ever seen! You two are SO soul mates!" Bex was jumping up and down.

"Uh, guys, can you tell me what happened once I fell?" I asked quietly.

"Well, Zach saw you fall and-"

"Bex, please don't yell, it hurts my head."

"-he took off his shirt and dived in and got you, but sadly he didn't give you CPR, only chest compression." Bex finished sadly. That's why they probably looked sad, they wanted Zach to give me CPR. After Bex finished her story, Zach came with my stuff, and the girls winked, well only Macey winked, and walked away.

"Here I'll show you where the bathroom is," Zach said helping me up. I ended up leaning against Zach again. Once we reached the bathroom, I went in and changed. I opened the door, but fell and landed on Zach's chest. He wrapped his arms around me, and I felt as if everything would be alright. Zach took me outside, and fastened me into the car. By then, my eyes were drooping, and I knew I'd fall asleep soon.

"Your Prince Charming saved the day, again!" I laughed. How Zach had managed to do so, would be a mystery to me.

I felt weigh on my bed. I opened my eyes, and saw Zach. I looked around. I didn't remember my room like this, it was way cleaner than it had been before, probably the cleanest it's ever been. I looked at Zach puzzled. He laughed.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" I glared at him, but then instantly got a headache. Zach reached over and got some pain killer, and gave some to me.

"I'm always prepared, just like Prince Charming!" I rolled my eyes and drifted off to sleep. Well I tried to sleep, but Zach started to shake me.

"Cammie, the doctor said that your not suppose to sleep, a lot." I groaned and face he other way.

"Cammie, I'm serious, you can't sleep, you might fall unconscious, you have a concussion," Zach's voice was desperate. I know, Zach desperate, impossible. I sat up and rubbed the sleep out, but I felt like all the energy in my body was gone. I fell back, and landed on Zach's chest for the second time today. I could hear Zach laugh.

"Didn't know you liked me this much, Gallagher Girl!" Zach whispered into my ear. I shivered, just like I did at the pool. Zach wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him.

"Cammie, I-I was...wondering-," he was cut off by the door bell. He groaned as detached his arm around me and went to open the door.

"ZACH!" I hear the voice and instantly knew it was Bex.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Oh Bex, I thought to myself.

"Um, Cammie got a concussion because she hit her head on the bottom of the floor at the pool."

"I'm going to punch Darin for pushing her in."

"Call me when you do, I'll gladly help."

"But he's on your team."

"He hurt Cammie, so he'll pay!"
