Zach's POV. 

a whole nother week had gone by with out a hint, a clue or any sleep for that mattter, i couldnt possibly sleep it was like my life had been ruined. 

"Zach go home, we hae all gotten some sleep, and you have ahd none. Cam wouldnt want you killing yourself with lack of sleep by looking for her." Grant said. 

"I want you to call me if even the slightest thing comes up." i said to them realizing how tired i was and must have looked.

"I will, i promise." i nodded and left. i was at home and i got into bed when i heard someone in my house. How did thye get in, it was a safe house. i drew my gun from the top of the nightstand. I walked downstairs slowly and heard someone in the kitchen. It was a woman. THere was no way my mom was alive, how had she survived the gun shot to the head that i gave her. My mom had a ski mask on and was going into my fridge. She had a ll black on. But she looked shorter than i remembered. She hadent seen me there. My mom pulled off her mask and answered the phone still facing the fridge. i was wrong it was Cammie. it took every ounce not to run over and hold her in my embrace. But i wanted to hear what she said on the phone.

"Yes Bex, i know, but what if he hates me now. i kniow i would be mad at him if he did what i did."

"Yeah i know but i just want to tell him i am sorry, and that in love him. i thought i was going to die. They almost killed me three times and shot me four times."

"No i dont want Zach to know about the gun shot wounds. He probablly has enough on his mind, maybe ryan was right about me. He told me i was worthless and wasnt good enough, and he was surprised i had anyone in my life at all. Zach is way too good for me."

"I know they were just trying to get inside my head, but i hate to say it, but it kinda worked."

"Okay good night, Is zach still at headquarters?" Ugh i hated only hearing one side of the conversation.

"What do you mean he is at home?" She said turning to me."I gotta go Bex." She said and then hung up the phone. I looked at her with tears.She started to cry. i ran over to her as she fell to the ground. i held her gently remember ing that she was shot four times. i held her as she sobbed.

"Zach i am so sorry." She exclaimed over and over again. 

"No Cam. Shhhh." i tried to calm her down. ";I love you, i know you thinkthat i dont but i do, so so much." I told her stroking her hair. "You arent worthless. I love you, my brother was wrong."

"But i left without you. i am so so sorry. I dont deserve you Zach i just dont."

"No Cam i dont deserve you. I love you." i told her over and over again until she stopped sobbing. 

"Zach it just felt like the right thing to do. They beat me and spoke to me like i was a dog. They wanted to kill me, it was worse than last time. But i know what they are planning." She said. i helped her off the floor and i could see she was hurting so i picked her up. I brought up the stairs to our bedroom. She had lost a lot of weight, no that she needed to but i could tell she felt a lot lighter, they obviously didnt feed her well. I laid her down on the bed and she ot up to change into her PJ's. i could see two scars on the left side and then one in her right calf and the fourth was in her back,. She came back over to me and lent up against me on our bed. 

"Cam i dont want you to beleive anything that they told you. Do you understand me. None of it was true." 

"Okay." She said tearing up again. I held her tight.

"So i thought since you jsut got home, maybe we want to start off slow, how about we watch a movie?" i asked her.

"that sounds great." She said finally smiling. i got up.

"Well than i better grab some popcorn." i said as i ran out of the room. "Oh and Cammie i am really glad you are home." i smiled and then dissapeared.

i was popping the popcorn when i heard a scream. "Cammie!" i yelled and ran up the stairs. She standing up and looked horrified.it was a spider.

i gave a really look. "What they freak me out." she said.

"Well we cant have that, now can we." she shook her head. i swopped her up and stomped on the spider.

"Take that you evil doer." i said to the now dead spider in my best prince carming accent. Cammie started hystircally laughing. i twirled her ariound in my arms then set her down.

"Why thankyou my knight in shinning armour." She said in her best damsile in distress accent, while bowing. i bowed back and we both were just having fun, like kids.  "I love you." She said putting her arms around my neck.

"I love you too." i said back and we were about to kiss when the microwave beeped. "that damn microwave. it ruined the moment." i said pulling from her. She just smiled at me

"We willl continue our moment and our movie once you return witht the poppcorn." She said.

"Yes, indeed we shall." i said i heard her laugh oncce i left the room. i was glad to know that she could still smileafter all that she had been through. i retuned witht the popcorn and started the movie. i looked to her and she looked at me funny.  "Our moment remeber?" i said.

"Oh yeah, our moment, well we should probably continue that." she said pressing her lips to mine, we didnt even pay attenchion tot eh movie.
