A/N: Okay so I caved and wrote an epilogue because I got so many requests for it, don't know if it's gonna satisfy you, but here you go.
Epilogue
The sunlight came through window lighting up the whole dorm. I groaned and rolled over before burying myself back under the covers. My head was killing me, what a night. Outside the window I could hear the birds chirping and someone mowing the lawn.
The light was flying through the curtains and lighting up bits of dust through the room. We apparently really needed to vacuum. I could hear Macey's soft snore coming from her bed and I didn't have to look to see Bex and Liz still fast asleep. I wanted to wake them up but the light was blinding. Why was it so bright? My head started pounding the minute I tried to sit up so I stayed laying down.
"Bex." I called, knowing she was the lightest sleeper. "Bex!" I called again when she didn't respond.
"What?" She groaned as she finally woke up.
"Is it just me or is it excessively bright in here?" I wondered.
"I agree that it is very bright in here." She told me in a thick cockney accent.
"What day is it?" Liz asked with a groan.
"I dunno...June?" I replied. "Why did we fall asleep with the lights on?"
"A more important question would be; where is everyone?" Macey asked as she too woke up.
"Yeah, it's awfully quiet." I agreed.
"It's kind of nice, my head is killing me." Liz mentioned rubbing her temples.
"Mine too." Bex agreed.
"Same." Macey added.
"Mine is throbbing too." I told them truthfully.
"Maybe we should try and find your mom and ask her what's going on." Macey suggested as she pulled herself into a sitting position. "On second thought don't sit up, it's a bad idea it just make your head go all dizzy."
"Try moving slowly, it makes it a lot easier." Liz said as she eased herself up.
"Good thinking Liz." Bex agreed as she moved to a sitting position. "Ugh, my wrist hurts."
"I'm going to try standing." I announced as I placed my feet on the floor and attempted to stand. "Ugh, my ankle hurts."
"Yeah we really need to find your mom." Macey said as she slowly lifted herself off the mattress.
My friends and I clutched to each other as we left our room and sluggishly made our way down the hall, stopping every so often to catch our breath.
It took us a pathetic 10 minutes to reach my mom's office. We knocked quickly on the door and hoped she would answer soon, Liz looked like she was about to faint.
My very frazzled mother pulled open the door and began to tear up the moment she saw us standing there.
"Mom?" I asked, suddenly concerned. "What's wrong? Where is everyone?"
"Come in girls, come sit you like you're about to be blown over." She hustled us inside her office and sat us down on the couch before acknowledging any of our questions.
"Mom, what is going on?" I asked seriously.
"What do you girls remember?" She asked, concerned.
"Um...Dr. Fibbs...a weird drink. What day is it?" Macey wondered.
"It's the end of June." She told us after a moment's hesitation.
We all froze. Where did June go? We looked at each other, trying to figure out what we had missed and how we had missed it.
"Seriously mom, what happened." I asked very slowly.
She explained Dr. Fibbs memory experiment and our involvement in it. Just when I thought all hope was lost and I would never know what happened in the past month she informed us of the most important part of the puzzle, they hadn't given us the liquid that was supposed to return our forgotten memories.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's have it!" Bex exclaimed.
"Well there's something else you should know…" Mom hesitated to tell us what came next.
"MRS. MORGAN! They're missing! I told you so, we left their sides for five minutes and-" And what would you know, Zachary Goode burst into my mothers office followed by Grant, Jonas, and...Preston Winters? "Cam?"
"Zach...What are you doing here?" I asked cautiously, grabbing my friends arms for support.
"Cam...Mrs. Morgan, do they remember anything?" He suddenly couldn't look at me. I was surprised at much I wanted him to look at me again.
"I haven't given them Dr. Fibbs newest version of the formula. I don't know yet." Mom explained.
"Why not?" Preston questioned.
"We're running out of time." Grant hurried her.
"Mom, whatever you have to tell us is going to have to wait. Give us the formula now." Macey told her firmly.
Mom gave us all a look then glanced at the boys before finally sighing and nodding.
"Go and get Solomon, and the book. We'll wait on you to return before we begin." Mom instructed them and they ran out of the room, I can't be sure but I don't think they've ever moved faster.
"So Mom...what are they doing here?" Bex asked as soon as they left the room.
"It's something that will be explained once we know if the formula worked." She told us firmly. We knew we weren't going to get anymore out of her and we didn't have the chance.
The boys burst into the room carrying a scrapbook with an out of breath Solomon right behind them. I didn't think it was possible for people to move that fast. Solomon must have been just down the hall.
My mom glanced at Solomon and they had one of their silent conversations before mom produced four small bottles of blue liquid that smelled like cherry cough medicine. My friends and I sniffed it before glancing at each other and deciding that there would be no escaping it. Bottoms up on three.
One.
I glanced at my best friends in the world who looked horribly nervous. I knew I looked the same.
Two.
I couldn't help but look at Zach who looked worried. Worried about me? That couldn't be.
Three.
I didn't even think about it as I downed the contents of the bottle and tried not to cough it all up. The horrible concoction burned my throat and I couldn't help but cough.
The last thing I saw was Zach at my side, grasping my hand.
My eyesight was blurry as I came to. I must have been asleep for at least half the day, the sun had made its way across the sky. I estimated it was early evening.
"Bex! Macey! Liz!" I croaked.
"Shh, Cammie don't try to talk." Zach hushed me before handing me a bottle of water. "What do you remember?"
"Mom's office." I managed to get out. "Everything else is blurry."
"Does that mean...Cam, do you know why I'm here?" He asked, voice breaking slightly.
I shook my head.
He let out a shakey sigh before making sure I drank my water.
"I'm going to go and find your mom, Cam. I'll take you to the other girls first. They're already mostly awake and waiting for you. We wanted to wait for all of you to wake up before we...before we talked." He told me as he lifted me easily into his arms and carried me to the next room over. I hadn't even noticed we were in Eva and Tina's room.
"Cam's up." Zach announced as he deposited me safely on Macey's bed with the others. I tried not to think about how much I wanted to be in his arms and how safe I felt there.
"Cam!" Bex, Liz, and Macey cried as we wrapped each other in a group hug. "Do you remember anything from the last month?" Bex asked.
I shook my head no. "Do you?"
They all sadly shook their heads and we all silently asked each other what we were going to do now.
"Girls, how are you feeling?" Mom asked as she hurried through the door, the book from earlier in hand.
"Tired." Bex replied.
"Confused." Liz told her.
"Muggy." Macey answered.
"Hungry." I finished.
"Well, I can help with most of those. I assume you girls want to know what's happened the past few weeks." She said as the boys filed out of the door.
"Of course!" Bex exclaimed, sitting up and leaning against the headboard. The rest of us followed suit.
"Well...the easiest way to explain is to show you. Here are pictures that I've taken over the past few weeks." Mom handed me the scrapbook and I immediately dropped it onto Bex's and Liz's laps where all four of us could see it.
The first few pictures were of us in front of Gallagher wearing some really nice aviators. Then there were some of us on a plane, in a house, on the beach, covered in sand, and cuddling on the couch. Then there were some of us on a pier with the boys, there was one of Zach and I in the waves kissing. There were pictures of us on a ferris wheel Bex kissing Grant and me kissing Zach again. There were pictures of us playing cards, in the pool, in the ocean, on the beach, Liz cuddling with Jonas and Macey cuddling with Preston. There were pictures of us in a bathroom, the counter covered in products as the four of us got ready for...something.
"The date with the boys." I realized, pointing at us holding our outfits in the bedroom at the beach house.
"Your dresses were so pretty." Macey agreed. "How do I know that?"
We kept flipping through the pictures, memories coming back. The water park, the party, the date, the pranks, the silent treatment. Macey's coma and our emergency trip back to Gallagher. Running into Josh at the mall...
"At least now I know where all these bags came from." Bex mumbled as we found pictures of the girls shopping.
"Oh my gosh the obstacle course." Liz gasped.
"I can't believe you left my iPod down there!" Macey laughed.
"You guys missed mattress surfing, by the way." I informed them.
"We'll have time to do it again." Bex said firmly.
The boys...there were so many pictures of us with the boys, mostly from the night of the date. The black and white pictures we had edited for our screensavers, the formal pictures mom made us take, the night with Sawyer, Sam, and Xavier and our sandcastle contest. Pictures of us kissing our boys, pictures of them kissing our cheeks, pictures taken at the exact right moment with them looking at us like something out of a disney movie.
I pulled myself out of the bed, determined to find Zach, Bex not far behind. Liz and Macey climbed off the other side of the bed as I limped towards the door, my ankle throbbing. It was worth it. I ripped open the door.
"Zach!" I yelled down the hall to where the boys had circled up.
He looked at me with a heartbreaking sorrow in his eyes that faded slightly when he heard me call his name. I hobbled into the hall with a smile on my face, Bex at my side.
"We remember." Bex said with a smile as she took off towards Grant, whom I've never seen smile wider.
I tried to run to Zach but my ankle was not having it so I had to wait for him to make it to me. He was grinning wider than I'd ever see him smile and his eyes had a brightness to them that hadn't been there when we first met. He reached my side and lifted me up so my legs could wrap around his waist as our lips finally met. I was vaguely aware of Jonas and Preston running past us into our room but I was more focused on Zach.
Zach. His hands gripped my thighs to help keep me from falling as I wrapped my arms around his neck keeping him close to me. Our lips moved in perfect harmony as he nipped at my lower lip before nuzzling his head in my neck. I reveled in the feeling of him in my arms once more.
"Cam." He sighed against my neck before placing a soft kiss against the side of my neck. "I've never been so scared." I cut him off.
"Don't be scared. How could I forget you? You're aren't getting rid of me anytime soon, Goode."
"I don't want to." He whispered as he looked me right in the eyes. I took the opportunity to reclaim his lips for my own selfish purposes.
I could have spent all day there in his arms but unfortunately, my friends had other ideas.
"Cam!" Macey called.
"Yeah Mace?" I replied, reluctantly letting Zach lower me to the ground. He kept a firm grip on my waist however.
"We think it's time to finish our photoshoot." She said, gesturing to herself and Liz.
"But, with all of us this time." Liz added. I smiled and looked up at Zach.
"How much do you love me?" I asked with my best smile.
"More than you can ever know Cam." He replied with a grin.
"I was hoping you might say that…"
We set out clothes for the boys to wear before hurrying back to our room and getting ready ourselves. We showered, blow dried our hair, put on makeup, and slipped on casual cute clothes that would match each other and suit our boyfriends outfits before meeting my mom and Solomon outside to complete our photoshoot.
We mostly took pictures as a group, all of us in the garden, on the stairs, laying in a circle, piggy back rides, kissing cheeks, all sorts of poses and the boys were really good sports about it but my favorite was one of just Zach and me.
I was laying in the grass and he was leaning over me, our eyes locked. I had a peaceful half smile on my face but Zach was grinning down at me like I was his whole world.
Later when we were editing the pictures and picking out our favorites, Zach handed me my phone back and whispered:
"Look at what I changed your screensaver to."
I swiped open my phone and typed in my password-CAG-and grinned as I saw his favorite picture of us, the one Grant had taken of us secretly, our lips locked and not a care in the world.
