You know, I'm annoyed with you lot. For the last chapter I got no reviews! I was sad. Was it so bad it wasn't worth the effort to type anything?

Anyway, I baked cookies when I was in the house on my own yesterday. Now that sounds normal, but I really should have had someone filming me to put it on you've been framed. I'm really clumsy. The kitchen was a mess by the time I'd finished. And my mum almost had a heart attack when she got home.

Anyway, here is my new chapter!


Oh I'm such an idiot. He hates me.

I've gone and ruined it with my soul-mate. Great!

Now I'm just going to buy a load of cats and become all crazy and be a lonely old cat lady!

I rested my head in my hands. I've been released from hospital, although I'm in a wheelchair, and my arm and legs are still in casts. Basically, I have Mom or Bex helping me around everywhere.

Liz, my ever so kind and thoughtful friend has brought me homework from all my classes! I just love my friend, because I am up to my knees in it!

I've also been updated in all the local news. The school has fallen apart.

Bex and Grant are actually dating now, Jonas broke up with Anna because he is rumoured to be crushing on Liz, Josh is actually dating Deedee now, and all that time I was in hospital, he didn't visit me once! Never even asked how I am! And technically we hadn't broken up, so he was kinda cheating on me. But I wasn't even interested anyway.

My phone bleeped, drawing me back to the present. I read Macey's reply:

Oh, stop being such a drama queen!

Ask him to forgive you, and if he doesn't, forget him

If he pushes you away, he doesn't deserve you

Also tell him its Macey, not Maisie

I smiled. I pulled out a pen and chewed the lid, deciding what to write.

Dear Zach

I'm sorry for breaking your heart

No...

I'm really sorry

Still not right.

I sat there for ages, wondering what I should say.

...

I stood around the corner from Zach's house and reread the letter.

Dear Zach,

I've been sat here ages, thinking how to say this. Because "sorry" doesn't cover how guilty I feel about what I've done. I understand completely if you never want to speak to me again, if it was me, I'd never want to speak to me again. But Zach, please, I'm begging for another chance. A chance for you to know me, the real me. Not Emily or that Gallagher girl. I really, really like you, Zach. And I'm sorry that it took a stupid, heartless prank for me to realise you aren't the idiot I thought you were. I know I don't deserve forgiveness, you deserve better than me, but please, if you think we still have a chance, meet me by the lake this afternoon at four.

Can you forgive me?

Cammie

It was the best I could think of. It still didn't cover how I felt, but I can't put that in a letter. I pushed it through the door, and walked away.


It was ten past four. I was sat by the lake, waiting. I looked up and down the bank in case he got the wrong place. Still no Zach.

I don't know why I expected differently. I completely shattered his heart and pushed him too far. No wonder he completely broke down at therapy. We cancelled it after that as it clearly wasn't working.

I checked my watch. I'd waited long enough. He wasn't coming.

I got up and turned around. He was standing against a tree, watching me.

"Zach?" I whispered in disbelief. "You're here!" He walked over to me.

"Yes," he breathed, looking into my eyes. "Yes, I can forgive you."

He brushed a piece of hair out of my face, and pulled me closer.

Then Zachary Goode kissed me.

And it was amazing.


Yay! They're back together!

Anyway, I have a plan for another chapter after this one, but this chapter could finish the story nicely. So please review so you can see my proper ending for the story.
