A.N. So i'm back and it wasn't sure as long as a wait as it was the last time! I've had bit of bad news so i'm writing to take my mind off of that so my updates might be a little bit more often in the next few weeks while i'm trying to get my mind round/ off what it is! So here's the next chapter! Happy Reading! :)

Oh and by the way, Cammie might be a bit out of character in this chapter, i felt like it might be right in this chapter, if you don't like it, then please let me know in a review! Also, please read my AN at the bottom!

Chapter 23!

Cammie's P.O.V

.

Home? Does he mean Gallagher? Oh hell no! I don't want my mum to see me like this! I mean it was bad enough last time when she had to see what was left on my wrist from the last time and the faint scars that were left, but this time she actually has to see how bad they actually treat me there!

"No Zach! No! She can't see me like this! She'll never let me out of her sight again! And what am i supposed to say to Solomon, 'Hi Sir, i just found out that while you were at Blackthorne you were besties with Steve and that he was the one that tortured and killed my father, your other best friend!' Somehow i dont think that would go down well with everyone else, do you?"

"No, but you think its an even better idea for you to be even more chameleonly as normal and for them to get even more worried about you? No Cam, you are going in there now, or so help me god i will drag you in there kicking and screaming!"

Humph!

"Fine!"

And with that, we all walked out of the field, across the road and to the gates. Bubblegum guard wasn't there so we had to press the buzzer which was located in Mum's office - great(!).

"This is Headmistress Morgan. How may i help you?"

"HI Mum, its Cam, mind letting us in?!"

"Us?"

"Yeah, everyone from Macey's? I would have used one of the tunnels but as you already know there all blocked up!"

"Alright Cammie and friends, in you come!"

And with that said, there was an audible buzz and the gates sprung open.

"I'm nervous Zach! I dont want people to see me this way!"

"Cam, they've seen you worse!"

Hmmm he had me on that. Just as we was about the reach the main doors, i stopped, frozen. It was dinner time! Which meant there would be hundreds of Gallagher Girls and staff walking round, i cant have them seeing me like this!

"What is it now Gallagher Girl?"

"Its dinner time! That means everyone is walking around and i cant have them seeing me like this! I dont mind Mum seeing me like this but i am NOT, i repeat NOT having everyone see me before Mum does!"

"Fine, put my hoodie on, pull up the hood and keep your head down!"

And with that, Zach handed me his hoodie and i slipped it on, pulled the hood and pulled it tight round my face.

We pulled open the doors and i instantly felt the eyes of over a 100 people looking at me! I felt Zach put his arm round my shoulders and pull me close to him, we pushed through the crown and up to The Hall of History towards Mums office. When we entered the hall, i could hear a quiet discussion going on but couldn't hear any specific words, we headed towards the door. When were about 10 steps away my mum called my name.

"Cam? Is that you?"

But by the time she'd finished the sentence, we were already in the doorway.

"Cam, why is that hoodie pulled up tight round you face?" My mum asked questionably, i felt Zach squeeze my shoulders in reassurance.

"Well Mum, that would be because the COC got a hold of me again and decided to have a bit more fun with than they did last time!" While i was saying this, i undid the hood and pulled it down to revel my face, admittedly there wasn't much damage to my face.

I heard everyone in the room gasp, i looked up at everyone, avoiding eye-contact with Solomon!

"Cameron, come into my bedroom for a minute please!"

Oh no! Full name territory! I gasped Zach's hand and headed towards her room, with the girls a few steps behind me!

"Alone, Cameron!"

I felt Zach try and pull his hand out of mine then, but i held on tighter and squeezed.

"No Mum, i'll go in without the girls, but Zach is coming! I need him in there!"

"Fine." she said exasperatedly and walked into her room, me and Zach following her.

"Zach, close the door behind you please!"

Rachel P.O.V.

I can't believe! They got my daughter again, and we didn't even know anything about it! What kind of mother am i?!

"Right Cam, i need you to strip to your underwear so i can see how bad they have actually treated you!"

I saw a look of panic cross her face, and her gaze subtly shift to Zach then back to me.

"Zach, could you turn and face the door please. I understand Cam needing you in here, but i don't think she's comfortable with you seeing her like that."

"Yeah, that's fine Mrs. Morgan!" Zach replied while turning round to face the door.

I looked expectantly at Cam, who rolled her eyes and started to unzip her hoodie. When everything was off except her underwear, i stood in shock. I walked towards her and round her to asses how bad the damage was. She'd obviously had her wounds cleaned, but i doubt that was the COC that did that, probably the girls on the ride over here. I then looked up at Cam's face to see the shame and embarrassment in her eyes, but there was something else, hurt maybe?

"Cammie? What is it? What are you hiding or not telling me!"

"Nothing Mum."

"Dont you dare lie to me Cammie! I can tell when your lying or hiding something from me!"

"Okay! Fine, you might want to sit down the here this though!"

Oh wow! This must be bad. I stagger back until i fall on the bed, and sit looking at Cammie, waiting for her to start!

Cammie's P.O.V.

"Okay! Fine, you might want to sit down the here this though!"

Oh god! How am i going to tell her this?!

"Okay, well it erm, basically started in one of my 'sessions' with Dr. Steve while they were holding me at a base..."

AN. CLIFFHANGER! Oh i'm so mean! So what did we think? I know that Cammies character was a little bit OOC, i think i know the cause but i kind of like it like this but if you guys dont like it then please let me know and i can rewrite this chapter!
