The Gallagher Selection; A Zammie Fanfic

Chapter Thirteen

Zach's POV ~

Over time, Cammie and I grew closer, almost like how we were before. It was like a surgeon amended us back together with stitches.

I'd still find her exploring some passageways. They became our favorite place. Where nobody else was. No cameras. Nobody.

Sometimes we would spend hours in there. We'd laugh, we'd kiss.

"Zachary, it's time to eliminate another girl," my mother said, pulling me back into reality. 

(The Report, he eliminates Eva, so on. Don't mind my laziness.)

The next two weeks passed, with The Report coming up soon:

My mother and I chatted for a while.

"I'll eliminate Macey McHenry, Cammie and Bex will be the last two." I knew exactly who I wanted to be my One.

"Macey, really? I was hoping you'd marry her..." Probably because her father is well known as a senator already.

We sat in an awkward silence until I finally got up from my seat to go talk to Macey.

When I got to her room, her eyes immediately lit up. She got up from the bed and kissed me on the cheek. The look in her eyes reflected that she only wanted the crown.

"Hey Zach," she said in what seemed to be her 'seductive voice'.

"Um hey..." my voice trailing off.

There was a bit of a hurtful look to her before she started speaking, "It's always been Cammie. Hasn't it? I'll start packing."

"Why do you like this Cameron Morgan so much?" The way Catherine said her name hinted at her dislike of Cammie.

"Why do you hate this Cameron Morgan so much?" I countered.

"Look, I just want you to married to a proper woman, not some girl who ran away from you. "

Suddenly, I remembered what she had told me after Cammie had ran away, "Maybe it's for the best."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT." I yelled at her, slamming my hand down onto the table.

"Did what, Zachary?"

"OH STOP PLAYING INNOCENT. 'CG' CATHERINE GOODE. SIGNED ON THAT LETTER TO CAMMIE."

"Honey, I was trying to help you. That girl was cheating on you."

"I don't believe you."

"Do you want proof? Here," she slid a photo towards me.

I couldn't believe it. "My" Gallagher Girl and that guard. Joshua Abrams. Oh he will be facing hell tonight and I'll make sure of it.

I stormed out of the room. I made my way to Cammie's room with the picture in hand.

Luckily, her maids weren't there with her.

Storming through the doors, I handed her the picture, "What the hell is this?"

"Zach, this isn't what you think." She had this look of fear in her eyes.

"What the hell do you mean?!"

"Look, we came from the same town. We used to date. I swear, that picture was taken long before the Selection."

"I'm sorry. I'm not taking any excuses from you. I wish you never came back."

Before she could even open her mouth, I spoke again, "Yes. My mother wrote that letter. Glad to know that we both hate you now."

She was straight out bawling her eyes out at this point. And all I did was storm through the doors and slammed them shut.

^ Zach on a rampage...

Is it that time of the month? 😂
