Hey again! I am trying this thing where I listen to music while writing, it might completely fail or it might 'inspire me', you never know!

Chapter 8

Zach's POV

I heard a sickening crack, and my heart leapt into my mouth. I turned around and ran to the window. I peered through to her room, but I couldn't see anyone. The window was wide open, and the pot of plants that were usually there had vanished. I gulped, imagining the worst, and looked down.

I saw her, lying sprawled out on the hard concrete. I yelled, and ran from my room, almost tripping in my haste to run down the stairs. I ran out of my house. My little sister, Nikki, was already there. Nikki started to wail. I hugged her tight, and bent closer to Cammie's limp body. She was still breathing, although one of her legs was bent at an unnatural angle. I pushed little Nikki towards the house, telling her to call the ambulance.

I bent even closer. I could smell her perfume, her apple-smelling hair. She smelled perfect. She still looked perfect, even in this state. I couldn't lose her – and it was entirely my fault! If I had just taken some notice of her… But I didn't understand why she had jumped. Was she trapped? Just then I heard the ambulance coming, and I stood up and ran to the road to wave it down. I watched her get loaded in, bleary eyed, then one of the people loading her into the ambulance saw me and gestured for me to come with her. I nodded and jumped in.

Cammie's POV

When I woke up I expected be in my bed at home, but I found myself in a small bed with soft mint green covers, and all I could see were white walls and a curtain. I felt pain in my leg, but dumbed pain; like the stuff you put on sore gums. I sat up, and saw a boy sitting in the chair beside me. He looked asleep.

"Zach?" I whispered. His head jerked up and he looked at me.

"Cammie! You're awake!" he said, excitedly, then jumped up to hug me, but then thought better of it and just stood there, looking into my eyes. I felt a small rush of joy to see him there.

"Cammie, we were so scared. Why did you jump? Do you feel ok?" he rushed out, then apologised.

"Jump?" I asked, confused. Then it came back to me. "Oh."

"Can you remember why?"

"Mom. She punished me for the party."

"By locking you in your room for days? Man, that's messed up." He looked at me. I felt a sudden urge to kiss him. But I refrained.

"Zach… did Mom come here?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"No. She ran away just after the ambulance arrived, Dad saw her. Sorry."

"I knew she was going a bit mad. I think that broke her though." I started sobbing, and the next thing I knew Zach was holding me protectively in his arms, and I was leaning into his chest. We fitted together so well – but what about Josh? I hadn't forgotten his threats.

"Did Josh come?"

"Yeah. We got rid of him though. Said you couldn't have visitors."

"But you visited me."

"I never left."

I looked up into Zach's perfect, green eyes, and smiled. He smiled back.

"Cammie?"

"Mmm?"

"Would it be utterly outrageous to kiss you now?"

I smiled.

"Please do."

He leaned forwards, and our lips met. He kissed me gently, as if worried I would break more.

Sorry, very short chapter because it's late here in the UK and I'm tired, but I did promise you another one tonight.

I do have a plan for the next update, so I will be writing that and uploading hopefully tomorrow.

See ya, and REVIEW!
