A/N: Boring I now but have to do this. I do not own Gallagher Girls. All characters are from book and I might get info wrong so sorry but I like to mix things up.

Chapter Five

My mum kissed Joe Solomon when she knows my dad is alive. FML!

My mum kissed Joe. My mum actually kissed Joe. Joe Solomon, the man who was meant to be my dad's best friend. My mum, the women who was meant to love my dad, kissed Joe Solomon. I know I might be a spy. If a bomb came through a window I would be able de-activate it in less than 5seconds but when it comes down to your mum kissing someone other than your dad I don't think I will ever be able to understand it. If I admit it to myself there was always something going on between them but it comes as a shock when they are still doing it when dad could come at any minute. I crouched in the corner of this passage and just wrap my arms around my legs. Rule one of being a spy: Never show your emotion to people you can't trust. I thought I could trust mum and Joe, I guess not. I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep a spy mask on so I fled the room. If you feel in danger you should always run, that's what I once got told. I never run when I'm in danger, I run when I need to process a thought. A thought that I would never think to think about. I would run when Bex asks to be called Rebecca, I would run when Liz gives up computer life, I would run if Macey said she preferred trainers to hells and I would run for my life if Zach got rid of his smirk. I don't run very often, I don't need to, I'm a spy and it takes a lot to surprise us.

I calm down enough to see other people but still keep in my Chamberlin mode. I walk into the hallway and head to my dorm where I guess the girls and Josh are. I know it's 10minutes until dinner and so I speed up just in case the girls are hungry. I find the girls on their beds and Josh on mine. I guess when I run away I always come back to this room. It makes sense though, these are the people who I trust most in the world and so I automatically want to talk to them before anyone else. I close the door slowly and make my way over to my bed. They all look at me with sympathetic eyes. Josh hugs me to his side and the first tear runs down my cheek. No one has seen my cry for a long time. 5years, 235days 6hours and 27minutes. The time when I got told about my dad, how he had been kidnapped and was probably dead. The most important man in my life had disappeared and no one could find traces of him on this earth. I wrap my arms around him tightly clinging to something that represents a little bit of safety. The girls come onto my bed but make no move to comfort me because they know I wouldn't want to be overpowered. Josh kisses my head and I try to ease my grip.
"You okay?" Liz asks.
"Yeah, well as okay as I can be considering my mum is cheating on my dad with his best friend." I joke but the words are true and we all know it.
"Hey let's talk about this after we get some grub." Bex suggested trying to lighten up the conversation. We all agreed and walked down to the hall. The girls all walked together in front of us, while Josh and I just followed hand in hand. Both of us needed support, him being in a new environment and me knowing that my life was most likely the most exciting here in the school.
"So do you think the girls will think I'm cute?" Josh asked and I raised by eyebrows up at him. "Kidding, I will tell every girl to back off because I'm yours." He winks and I let out a little laugh. We enter the hall and everyone goes silent just staring at us. We were always going to be watched. I was the headmistress's daughter, my dad has just escaped the circle, I'm holding hands with a normal boy and the boy who I was apparently 'in love with' was going to be sat on the same table as us. "Everyone is looking at us." Josh whispers and I just do a little nod to respond.
"They like what they are seeing." I joke back and he lets out a laugh making everyone more curious with what's happening. I know from experiences that when you are a spy you want to know what happens and having a normal boy in Gallagher girls is not normal.
"Course they do, I'm hot!" He talks normally and girls around us agree with him. Josh winks at me and I just drag him over to where my friends are seated. I tried to just focus on the people around me so I decided to all introduce them to Josh.
"Josh, this is Grant and Zach." I introduce the two boys that are looking at him warily. They nod their heads in recognition. "This is Jonas." I point to Jonas who is smiling at Josh, which causes me to smile.
"You're the boy who came up to us today right?" Josh asked checking his facts.
"That's me. This is my girlfriend." Jonas introduces protectively, already staking his claim. We all look over to the pair and shoot questions with our eyes.
"Since when?" Bex blurts out almost insulted.
"Today but when it got a bit… dramatic we decided to just tell you later. Hello Josh, it's nice to meet you again." Liz tells him quietly but calmer than usual. She goes to shake his hand but spills the jug of water on the table. "Oopsy daisys." She calls out quickly jumping out of her seat to mop up the spilt water. Macey eye rolls.
"I'm Macey McHenry. Yes I'm the senators' daughter but round here I'm just an ordinary Gallagher girl." Macey introduces herself with no messing about. That was how Macey was, she didn't trust a person straight off you had to earn it and that's why she will make a good spy.
"Sure thing. Consider it forgotten." Josh tells her.
"And last but not least Bex." I say with a smile.
"Bex Baxter. Cammie's best friend and as one of her best friends I can warn you that if you hurt her in any way you will regret ever doing it." She tells him all this while smiling sweetly but I could hear the gulp that Josh took. I kicked Bex in the leg as a back off sign and she went back to talking to Macey about whether or not heels were better than converses for a spy. I guess they thought that he would know eventually so there is no point in not showing what they are now. Josh gave them a questioning look but I guess he put it down to hypothetical reasons.
"Tina Walters." Tina announced who was sitting next to Macey.
"Josh Abrams." Josh replies.
"Why are you here?" Tina asks and everyone around us looks over waiting for the answer. Josh looks over to me wondering whether or not he should answer.
"The Circle were looking for me, if they found me and I was with Josh then they could easily kidnapped him. Although they wouldn't have found much information out it still wasn't worth the risk." I answer taking Joshs' hand in mine, under the table.
"He's going to end up finding information about us, which could easily hurt us in the future." Zach tells us causing me to grit my teeth.
"Don't bother telling us about other people being the problem because as far as I know there are three people in this world that are causing us to being danger; your mum, my dad and me. So quit complaining because as long as this is about my dad I am in charge." I fire back.
"I think you will find I am in charge Cammie." My mother chuckles from behind me. I face her with a look of disgust and I can see people are wondering what's happened.
"Actually, I think we will all find that I care for my dad more than anyone else and that means that I am in charge of what happens to do with him and me." Although I am starving and have hardly had a chance to eat any food I get up from the table, causing Josh and my friends to follow me.
"I care for him too, Cameron!" She calls out from behind me and I don't even want to look at her.
"You weren't thinking about how much you care for him when you were kissing his best friend." I spit out before closing the doors to the hall. I knew from the 1.49seconds it took for me to close the door that everyone was shocked by my news but I couldn't find it in my body to care anymore. I run up to our room everyone else trailing after me. When I open the door I find another letter on my bed and I run and rip it open as fast as I can.

My princess Cammie,

It was so good to see how beautiful you have turned out. You are so much better than what I saw in my head whenever I thought of you. I want you to know that I thought of you every minute of every day. I hated not knowing that you were okay. I know why you want to read this letter; you want information about how you are going to help me. Well, all I need you to do is find a safe place. A place other than Gallagher girls that you think is safer than anywhere else. Bring anyone you can trust but not too many. Leave me a note on the trap door underneath your bed and I will meet you there. Stay safe and don't let anyone know where you are.

Daddy.

"What does it say?" Bex asks trying to look at the letter that has been crumpled to my chest. I look at all of them with a smirk on my face.
"We are going on an adventure."

I know this is a short chapter but it's a filler chapter. Review please. Sorry for any spelling/ grammar
