"Let's get some sleep; it's been a long day."
I turned and walked into Ashley's room, silently watching Jason and Ashley sleeping together in some way. I quietly closed the door and walked out, sighing as I made my way to my room. Two more day's and we're done. We'll be free.
Cammie POV
I want to say that I got a decent amount of sleep that night but I didn't. Instead a certain someone was waiting there for me. I silently went to my drawer to get clean clothes waiting for him to say something.
"Something's on your mind." He says more like a statement than a question. I sigh and drop the clothes in my hands and flop down onto a chair.
"She's not going to be the same anymore." I say, bringing my hands to my face to cover the tears that threatened to come out. I hear him walking in my direction and he gently pulls my hands away from my face. I squeeze my eyes shut.
"Look at me, Cam." He says gently and I reluctantly open my eyes to stare into his green ones. No doubt I had unshed tears in my eyes. His thumb was caressing my cheek softly. "I don't know her," he says slowly, "but I know she'll heal in time because she has Jason and you and that's all she needs." I give out a little broken laugh and the tears start coming out. I move my hand to wipe my tears.
"You always knew what to say to me before. I guess nothing has changed." I say. I hear him give out a small chuckle and he wraps me in a warm hug that I came to love so much. I hug him back fiercely as if he was my only anchor in this cursed place and cried on his shoulder.
"Get some sleep, Cam." Zach says against my hair. I slowly nod and I unwrap myself from him as I move to the restroom to change into something less bloody and stinky.
When I got out my eyes were dry and I went to my bed, with Zach tucking me in.
"I'm not a little kid, you know." I mumble and he gives me a smirk. He leaned down to kiss my forehead and moved to get out of the room. I catch his arm before he moved further away. "Where are you going?" I asked bewildered. I didn't want to be alone tonight. He looks at my hand first and then to my face, studying it to see if it really was okay. Slowly, he smiled.
"I'm just going to get changed. I'll be back, okay?" I slowly nodded and released my grip on him, watching him as he walked out. I sigh and bury my face into a pillow. What am I doing? I thought I had more self-control on this. We just became friends again and I wanted to take this slow so why the hell did I just do that? I bet Zach was confused about my actions too. Dammit. What's wrong with me?
I hear the door open and I hear footsteps. That was fast. I peeked out from my pillow and I look at his figure slowly approaching the bed. He laughs.
"You look like a little kid." My head shoots up and I shoot him a glare.
"I am not!" I exclaim. His body was shaking with laughter now and he slid in the covers, drawing me in close. I sigh contently and close my eyes. Within ten minutes, I was half-asleep but I was able to hear.
"Just like a little kid." He murmured.
And before I fell into a deep sleep, I punched his gut. Let's just say I had a smile on my face before I knocked out.
Zach POV
It was morning now but Cammie was still asleep in my arms. I thought back to last night, her actions surprising me. I thought she wanted to take it slow? I shook my head and I looked down at her. She looked like an angel, she looked like one when she was awake but more like a lethal angel. Both angels work for me though. It was nearing 9 and I knew I had to wake her up. I winced; I didn't want to get punched. Again. I softly shook her.
She made an "Mmm" sound and moved in my arms, rubbing her eyes and looked at me. "Good morning." She said softly. I smile at her and release her.
"It's almost time to say "bye" to Liz and Jonas and no doubt Macey wants to make you all sparkly again." I say sarcastically at the end. She stifles a laugh and I look at her with a questioning gaze.
"Sparkly? Really, Goode?" I give her a shrug.
"I can't say she's going to make you look like Edward Cullen." I say nonchalantly. Cammie stifles another laugh and a little smirk comes across my face. I made her laugh. A little. I get up and reach for her. "C'mon Gallagher Girl, let's go get some breakfast first." She pondered it for a minute, biting her lip and I glance down at her lips. Damn. I quickly look at her face again. She takes my hand and I pull her up. I walk to the door, her hand still in my hand before she quickly releases it and stops walking. I look at her, eyebrow raised.
She hesitated and reached for me, quickly pecking my cheek before I even had a second to comprehend what was happening. "Thanks. For last night. For everything." She says quickly and walks to the door, slamming it firmly behind her. I stare at the door and I began to slowly smile.
"Damn." I whispered, "God damn." She was going to the death of me.
Ughhhh guysssssssssssssssssssssssss. I want to start a new fan fic but not for Gallagher but for Lord of the Rings. Don't laugh at me, I know im a nerd. Should I? Dangggggggggggggg. Anyways R&R! If you read my other Gallagher story then I want to tell you I'll start updating it after this one is done! Sorry, but I find it easier to do one at a time bc the plots can get muddled with one another. Especially since I'm just the go-with-the-flow type of gal while writing this. Once again, R&R! Thanks guys! Love you! XOXO
