"Josh Harrison Brown has escaped prison. He left Virginia and seems to be going to New York City. FBI are tracking him down right now. Details are soon to come." The reporter said. Those words haunted Cammie ever since.

After waking up, she replaced Zach's shirt with her own clothes. She jotted down a note for him and left. She got to her apartment and packed up all her stuff in a suitcase and a backpack. She booked a flight for Eugene, Oregon, and hailed a taxi for the airport.

Goodbye, New York. Goodbye, Zach.

She let herself shed a few tears, and then she was off.

Zach woke up groggily. Hmmm, Cammie, he remembered. But the spot next to him was cold, the only evidence that Cammie was there her lingering scent. Instead, he found a note.

Zach,

I had to leave. Someone... Horrible is after me. His name is Josh, and I left Virginia for New York because of him. He was always drunk when I saw him. It was a messy breakup and he got arrested, but...he escaped. I'm leaving for Eugene, Oregon, and I'm not coming back.

I know this is crazy because I just met you a few months ago, but I think I love you. You've changed me, my heart goes wild around you, and I just want to be with you forever. Oh god, I sound insane... I don't believe in luck or fate, but I feel like it was love at first sight.

I know you'll never see me again, but I love you. I hope the memories we had together are ones you'll remember forever.

Love,
Cameron Ann Morgan

His fists clenched when he read the part about Josh, while his heart cracked a bit more with each consumed him. He wanted to see her, even if it's the last time. No, don't think like that, he said to himself. There were billions of thoughts going through his mind, ranging from this Josh guy to breakfast, but only one mattered.

He was going to Oregon.

He caught the next flight. On the airplane, he sat next to a happy couple, who were his age. That could be us, he thought.

As he landed, he texted Bex, Macey and Liz to ask about Cammie. At first they were hesitant, but they reluctantly told him what hotel Cammie was staying walked up to the receptionist.

"Hey, do you have anyone checked in with the name Cameron Morgan?" He asked politely. The girl batted her eyelashes.

"No, but we have a Camille Morran, why?" She replied while smiling at him. Zach smiled internally, Cammie was clever enough to change her name.

"I'm kind of her boyfriend," he said, and the girl stiffened.

"Oh, alright, she's in room 210," she replied then turned away.

Zach hurriedly rushed up two flights of stairs and knocked on room 210. Cammie opened immediately, with tousled hair, a tank top and boy shorts, and bunny slippers. Her eyes widened and her at the sight of him.

"W-What are you doing here?" she asked as she backed away from the door. Zach let himself in. He felt his throat closing, and his eyes softened at the sight of her.

"I had to see you one more time," he said desperately. His eyes flickered with tears, and Cammie started crying.

"Leave, Zach, you and I will both get hurt. Besides, I don't want you to quit your career because of me," she said, her voice wavering. Zach's heart cracked once again.

"I would do anything for you. I'll quit university, I'll do whatever you want if you just let me stay," he pleaded. Cammie shook her head.

"You don't get it, Zach," she said as a new wave a tears made their way down her face. That's when he snapped.

"You're right, Cammie, I don't get it! I fucking love you! I want to have a life with you! I don't care if I'm fucking homeless, I just need to be with you! ACTUALLY, YOU'RE RIGHT! I'M FUCKING LEAVING BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST CAUSING ME A SHITLOAD OF PAIN!" he yelled at her, and she burst into sobs.

"I love you too, Zach, I just..." Cammie looked down.

"Just what," Zach asked in a calmer voice.

"I don't want you to get hurt because of me. J-Josh, he's crazy, and..." she trailed off. She started crying again.

The sight broke Zach's tough demeanour. He got to her in two strides, and wrapped her in his arms. Cammie started pulling away, but Zach being the stronger one, held her close. She gave up eventually, and clung to him as if her life depended on him.

"I just need you so, so, much, Cammie. I'll stay here with you if you like. I'll protect you from Josh. I'll do anything. Just let me stay," he whispered. She looked up into his emerald orbs. Her mouth opened and closed.

"Stay," was the one word she choked out as she buried herself back into his chest. And that was all the permission Zach needed.

He lifted her chin up and kissed her. Cammie's arms locked around his neck immediately, as her delicate fingers played with his hair. His arms went to her waist as he held her close.

The kiss was filled with love, pain, grief, and longing. Both of their bodies exploded at the contact, as hands explored familiar territory. The gaps in their hearts started to heal.

Cammie broke away first. She inhaled deeply, and smiled at him with puffy red eyes. She looked like a mess. I bet my breath smells, she thought. But Zach didn't care.

"I love you so much," Zach whispered with his eyes closed. And he locked lips with her again.

Now, that was only the beginning of their journey together, dear readers. Josh was put back into a higher security prison. They did end up getting married a year later. Two years after, Addilyn Rachel Goode was born. Her brother, Matthew Jordan Goode, came 3 years later.

The two did finish university. Zach ended up being a movie director, and Cammie was a high school English teacher.

Their kids grew up and left for university themselves. The two grew old together, just like how they'd imagined it.

And although human lives aren't forever, their unconditional love was.

A/N Ahhh! That was the end! I'm sorry if you were expecting a long story, but I wanted this to be a little summer short-ish story. Thanks for reading, everyone! One last review? :D
