Chapter 11
Cammies POV
10 months later.
"Happy Birthday Gallagher girl!" I heard the man (not boy) who wanted to marry me say.
"Wow is it really my birthday again? i thought i had one last year."
"That's the funny thing about birthdays, they seem to be an annual thing." i just laughed. i could move freely without any pain because i had managed to avoid being shot or toured for about 10 months now. There was a lake right out side our little safe house.
"Do you know what that means?" Zach asked me.
"Oh no." i said. on his birthday i had a huge water ball on fight and surprised him with a huge bucket of water on his head, i had a feeling i was about to get very wet.
"Oh yes!" He said picking me up bridal style. He was already with his swim shorts on, i on the other hand was still in flannel pants and a tanktop.
"Zach! No!" i said scream as he was running with me down to the lake. "Ahhhhh!" i screamed.
Suddenly i was submersed in water. i wasn't really mad i was having g the most fun i had had since his birthday.
We were splashing, and he kissed me on the lips. i pushed him away and gave it my best splash right in the face.
"Oh no you didn't."
"Oh yes i did! Come at me black Thorne boy, that is if you have it in you." i said taunting him. He started to run at me in the water and i ran away. "No!" i said as he carried me back into the water. We laughed and played all morning into the afternoon. Zach gave me a piggy back ride inside laughing at the fun we were having.Only to see Catherine Goode sitting at our dining room table. Zach let me down and kept me behind him.
"Hey you two!" She said her evil voice. I was pushing at Zach hoping he would let me at her.
"You know what," I said finally pushing past Zach. "I am so tired of you. Do you expect not to get shot?!"
"Zachy wouldn't shoot me."
"Well I would." I said pulling a gun out. She raised her hands.
"No need for that." She said. "I come in peace. This time."
"I dont." I said cocking my gun. I waited for Zach to stop me but he didn't.
"So what? Are you going execute an unarmed woman?" She asked taunting me and moving towards the kitchen knives.
"Yes." I said starting to pull the trigger. I felt so cold, but feeling cold was what felt right to me.
"Cammie?" Zach said. "No." He said taking my gun and I let him.
"Aww Zach I knew you wouldn't...." She stopped in the middle of her sentence because of a gun shot. She looked down at her hand which was covered in blood. She was shot in the heart. Then she fell over. Catherine Goode was finally dead.
I looked up at Zach, proud and almost scared. The smoking gun was still pointed at his mom. I stepped in front of him and lowered his gun. He looked souless. His eyes weren't filled with compassion or sorrow, but i saw something else in his eyes that scared me. Anger. it wasn't a loving anger he showed towards me, it was a hat wing anger. It scared me.
"Zach?"
"Yea."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you really okay..." I stopped and felt a shooting pain in my back. She wasn't dead. She had a gun in her hand. I fell forward. He caught me with one arm and shot Catherine in the head with the other.
"NOOOOO!" He yelled. He shot three more rounds into Catherines head.
"Zach."I said quietly. i put my hand on his face.
"Cam, you're gonna be fine." He said as he held my hand. His breathing got heavy. i had never felt closer to death than right that moment. Yes, i had been shot before, but i never felt as thoufh i was going to die, but today i did.
"Zach."
"Cam I need you to stay with me." He said after he got off the phone with 911.
"Zach, listen to me." I said again. I now saw the tears that had over taken his face. I knew I wasn't gonna make it.
"You need... to let... go." I said. I could feel the blood filling my lungs. "Let go."
"No! Cam I'm not letting go and neither are you." I could feel the tears on my face now, but they weren't mine, they were his.
"Zach... let go." I said. then all I could see was light. and that was it, just light.
