Chapter 21
CAMMIE POV:
Liz had called us, and said that the Circle were close, that they were coming for me, so Allison and Spencer, went to stop them, while I stayed home with Zach protecting me.
I held the bowl of popcorn in my hands, Zach thought that watching a load of movies would get my mind off of it, but it didn't, I just didn't say anything to him though. I glanced next to me, Zachs' arm was draped around my shoulders, his head resting the other way, he'd fallen asleep. I smiled at him, I took his arm gently away from around my shoulders, stood quietly, got a blanket and laid it down over his sleeping form.
I walked down the hall and into the kitchen, I was craving Guava juice, I don't even know why. But luckily I had, had that craving already before so we had some, I took the carton out of the refrigerator and took a gulp right out of the carton. I put the carton down on the kitchen counter, leaning against the counter. Suddenly, I gasped surprised from a slight pain from my stomach, I placed a hand on my stomach, could it be? My babies kicking? Aw! Zach seemed to have heard me, because I heard him coming down the hall.
"Cammie! Is everything okay?" He rushed in, then relaxed once he saw me standing infront of him in one piece.
"Come here" I said, motioning for him to come over. He did, I took his hand and placed it on my belly. His face lit up.
"Our babies kicking" He spoke, and I nodded, smiling. He leaning closer to me, hand still on my stomach, smiling, he crushed his lips down on mine gently. After a moment we both pulled away, after we heard Zachs' phone ringing. MOOD KILLER!
"Bex?" Zach spoke into his voice, once he answered, he put it on speaker,
"Listen Zach, you need to get Cammie away, their coming, we can't stop them!"
"Where are we supposed to go" He asks,
"Anywhere but here" Bex answers.
"Okay, whatever fine thanks Bex"
"Its okay, talk to you guys later"
"Bye" He hung up.
"What are we gonna do Zach?!" I asked, panicing. He stood there, clearing thinking for a moment.
"We're going to Gallagher" He said simply, then he rushed to our bedroom. I followed him, he walked into our bedroom, grabbing a bag and stuffing his and my own things into it. Once we appeared to have anything we needed, we rushed out to our car and Zach pulled out of our driveway, driving off to Gallagher.
When we got there, we saw my mom outside the door. She rushed over to our car, opened my door, and wrapped her arms around me. "Don't worry, Cam. Your going to be safe"
I nodded, "Thanks mom" She then led us, into her office, where Mr Solomon was.
"Rachel, now that Cammies here were going to have to put the academy on lock down, so that there is no access whatsoever for the Circle, and to make sure none of the girls here are harmed" My mom nodded,
"Yeah, I agree" My mom walked over to her desk, opening the cover of one of the books on her desk, inside there was a button labeled, Lockdown. Her hand hovered over it, "Joe" She paused, looking up at my old cove-ops teacher, "Get every Gallagher girl into the grand hall, I'll be there in 3 minutes" He nodded, walking out of the room. My mom pressed the button, and all of the regular walls everywhere, slid away, and were replaced with thick steel bolted walls, every rare item in the building was replaced with a phony replica.
My mom, followed by Zach and I rushed down to the grand hall, where it was how exactly my mom asked filled with every Gallagher girl. They were all muttering quietly to eachother, my mom walked to the front, and stood infront of her podium, "Now I'm sure you are all wondering why we've put Gallagher Academy on Lockdown" My mom spoke into the microphone, "It is because, my daughter Cameron, now in the school as protection, is being chased down by an organization called The Circle, and in order to keep her and all of you and of course all of our staff safe we have to put the school on Lockdown, so there is no known access for anyone to enter the academy" That caused even more mutter than before. I was already scared as it stood, I leant into Zach and he protectively snaked an arm around my waist, placing a kiss on the top of my head, "Everythings going to be ok, Cam" He whispered to me. All I wanted to do was curl up into a ball, and sleep, to dream all of this, wishing this could be one harmless nightmare. But it wasn't, it was the painful, harmful, undeniable reality.
All I could do was, be hopeful everyone was right. That is was 'going to be ok' and that 'everything is going to be fine' I must rise above this rather big battle, so that I and all those I love will be save and we will win.
