MY LIFE IS SO BORING IT HURTS!

Thanks for the reviews people, and without further ado,

Chapter 9

Cammie's POV

They made me stay in hospital for another week. During that time, I had many visitors. Zach, Zach's sister Nikki, Bex, Liz, Macey, Grant, Jonas and Preston, and two surprise guests. I hadn't seen them before, but they seemed to know me. Zach was in there with me, and he introduced them to me.

"Cammie, this is Sophie, and her brother Noah. They were my best friends from California."

"Zach? Friends, really?" Laughed Sophie. He glared at her. She turned to me.

"Hi Cammie, nice to meet you. I'm Zach's ex-girlfriend." She grinned. I raised my eyebrows. Sophie looked nice, acted nicely and politely, but I decided I didn't like her.

"Sophie. It was, like, a month. Get over yourself!" Zach laughed, nudging her. I was surprised to find myself getting jealous of this Sophie person.

"Zach told us all about you, Cammie," Noah spoke up.

"Really?" I glanced at Zach, who had gone bright red.

"Yeah," continued Noah. "That's why we came. You see, Zach told us about this Josh person, and since we are like THE crime fighters in Cali," Zach snorted, but Noah continued, "We decided to come and have a look."

"Oh? What did you find out?" I enquired.

"Well Cammie, we had a word with this DeeDee who claimed to be Josh's girlfriend, and then we spoke to a Tina, who said the same thing. Then we got hold of some records from my Dad, of people who have moved away from Roseville in the past three years." Sophie explained.

"How did your Dad get hold of the files?" I asked, sceptically.

"Oh, it's his job," said Noah, waving me off. "Anyway, we found out that the majority of moves were girls around your age; around Josh's age." I sat up.

"Why is that?"

"Well, the next step was going to track down these girls and ask them." Sophie took back over from her brother. Zach sat down on the bed beside me, and took my hand. I barely noticed, my mind was so busy trying to work out what all this meant.

"So," Sophie continued, "We got our Dad to get the file of one of these girls. Her name is Jessica Emerald. She now lives in New York, moved there last year. Ring any bells?" They all stared at me intently. Jessica… Jessie? Yeah that's it, Jessie Emerald!

"Yeah I do! She lived a few streets down from me!" Sophie and Noah grinned.

"Well, we went to pay this Jessica a visit. Soph befriended her and managed to find out she moved because of a boy. Jessie couldn't remember his name, but when she was prompted she confirmed that it was, in fact, Josh. Apparently she moved because this Josh was, to put into nicer words, a total Douche." said Noah, smiling a little.

"Just to make sure, we visited some more of these girls," Sophie continued, and went on to tell me about the other girls she talked to, all of whom I knew but hadn't even noticed their disappearances.

"So," Noah concluded, after Sophie had talked for some time, "we now have enough evidence to start a court case against Josh. That is, if you agree that he did the same sort of thing to you?" I nodded. Josh was going down.

In all the excitement around the accident, I had completely forgotten about my Mom. However by the time I was ready to go home, Zach's parents had managed to arrange a holiday away, so I wouldn't have to be on my own or face Josh. Zach's Mom had chatted to my friends, and they had arranged a getaway in Macey's beach house about twenty miles from our current town. Bex had gone into my house and packed my bags for me, and we were all ready to leave as soon as I was released.

I stretched my legs a bit before we got into the cars. Zach's parents had both bought their cars: me, Liz, Bex and Macey were going in the car with his Mom and Zach, Grant, Jonas and Preston were going in the other car with his Dad. I was so excited; I hadn't been on a holiday for years, and it was just me and my favourite people on Earth going. Zach's parents had planned to just drop us off outside; it was freedom for the first time in my life.

I had heard news that my Mom was being treated, and was staying for a short while in a care home, where they were trying to council her and get her to control her pain. It was horrible, but I was quite happy to be free, and I knew she was in good hands so I didn't feel too bad.

I got into the car and we drove off into the big open road; off to our holiday!

Ok, so the next few chapters are going to be happy Zammie crap because the story is getting too serious and Cammie needs some happiness, and then I'm going to do Josh in court and stuff like that.

I will try to update again tonight!

PLEASE REVIEW!

Love y'all, Elle.
