A.N. Again, i am so sorry that this has taken so long to update! I dont really have a reason, i just havent had the urge to write, and i need to be in the right kind of mood to write. I'm going to try and make this chapter as good as i can, but please don't hate if its not amazing! The characters might seem a little out of character in this chapter, but i need them to be for this to work :)

Chapter 7

Cammie's P.O.V.

Dad was sat on the sofa, and i was sat on the chair opposite, with Zach in the kitchin making tea. He knows its one of the only things that helps to calm me down. Dad, it's so werid thinking his name, when for so long i thought he was dead! He was just staring at me, taking everything in, looking from my hair, to my face, just looking at how much i had grown since he vanished.

Zach walked in with a small tray, with 3 mugs on, he placed one infront of dad with a small jug of milk and some sugar. Zach then passed me mine, milky with 2 sugars, and then took his off and put the tray next to his chair. I watched dad, as he poured in most of the milk, making it milky like mine and then added the 2 sugars, guess i found out where my tea likeage came from!

"So, are we just going to sit here like awkward ducks, or are we going to talk and ask questions?"

I looked at Dad, then Zach with my eyebrow rasied. Did we really just call us awkward ducks?! Zach looked at me and nodded, he then inclined his head slightly to Dad, telling me to ask him.

"No, will talk, but first, we need to disable all the security cameras, i dont want Joe watching this, and i'll check you over for differnet bugs and comms units, to make sure he's not listening through you!"

I saw Dad consider this for a moment, and look at me. One look at me, must have shown him how serious i was, as he let out a loud sigh, and stood up and walked over the where one of the cameras was and pulled it straight off the wall. Well, i guess thats one way of doing it!

After another 15 minutes, there was a pile of cameras, bugs, comms, sensors and other kind of device in a pile in the middle of the table where we were sitting.

"Are you ready to talk now Cam-Bear?"

Well, theres a question i've been asked a lot.

"Yes, i'm just gonna cut to the crap and ask the question we're both itching to know. How are you here? I saw your grave, Steve showed me the video of you dieing! I dont get it, your dead, your supposed to be dead! How are you sitting in front of me?!"

"Well, i planned it all with Joe. He helped me fake it all, but what steve showed you did happen. I did die Cam. And they did bury me. But Joe was hidden in thte forest, and as soon as he heard them leave he ran over, dug me up, brough me back and healed me."

Anger, thats all i could feel, he's been alive this whole time and he didnt come back, he didnt try to save me when they had me! And Joe?! He knew this whole time that he has still alive, and didnt tell us! Hit on Mum, as if he was never coming back!

"Wait, back up! You've been alive since that moment! Why didnt you come home, why didnt you try and rescue me when they had me, when they used the same tactics and tricks that they used on you on me. WHY WEREN'T YOU THERE?!"

I had enough at the moment, i just stood up, and walked into the bedroom, and locked the door, i did not want any company.

Zach's P.O.V.

"...WHY WEREN'T YOU THERE?" she shouted, stood up, walked to the bedroom, locked and shut the door.

I looked at Matt, as he made a movement, to go and see if shes okay.

"Don't. I'll go. She's still in shock from finding out your alive, and then she finds out that you didnt help her when she needed you, and that you still stayed hidden and left her abandoned when you could have come back. Shes hurt."

And i went and stood by the door and knocked quietly. I put my ear against the door to see if i could hear anything. The sound of sobbing entered my ears, oh my poor Gallagher Girl.

"Who is it?" i heard her ask quietly.

"Its me" i replied, then heard get up and come unlock her door.

I opened the door, walked in closing the door after me. I just stood there, looking at her, how broken she was. I walked over, sat down beside her and just held her. This is what she needs right now.

Matt's P.O.V.

The door closed behind the Goode kid and i got my phone out, and hit speed dial number 2. It rung twice before he answered.

"How's things going? I can't hear or see anything!"

"I know, she made take the cameras, bugs, comms off and shut them down before we would talk."

"Damn, she's good. definitely takes off of her father!"

"Yeah, don't know whats going to happen here thought. She found out that you had brought me back to life and healed me, and then shouted at me asking why i hadnt rescued her from the circle, asking me why i wasnt there for her."

"Damn, how did you answer that?"

"I didnt get a chance to, she ran into her room before i got a chance. I went to follow her in, but the Goode kid stopped me and went instead."

"He has a name Matt, Zach, and he's been bloody good for your daughter. When we went mad, with her hypnotism he stood by her side through it all!"

"I know, i just wish it could have been me!"

"Who are you on the phone to Joe?" My heart just stopped. Rachel.

"Thats a good question Richard, i will make sure i ask my 10th graders that"

"I don't care what the consequences are Joe, i am coming out of hiding at the end of this, i want my family back now!" and hung up the phone.
