Chapter 73

Zach

I moaned and stretched, my neck was stiff and sore from sleeping leant over on the chair with my head on Cammie’s bed. 

“How is she?” Rachel came in and perched on the end of the bed.

“No change,” I sighed and reached out to touch Cammie’s warm hand, “Where’s Matt this morning?”

“I sent him packing,” Rachel nodded and looked to her daughter, “Things have changed and he’s gone too far this time.”

“It’s not his fault the stitches came out,” I sighed and stroked Cam’s hand. Yes I blamed Matt for Cam stressing out and lunging at him but he wasn’t to know it would happen.

“He shouldn’t have punched you or had a go at her,” Rachel insisted.

“It’s done.” I told her and looked back to Cammie.

“Any change?” Bex stuck her head around the door.

“No,” Rachel sighed and got up, “Go and get something to eat Zach,”

“No,” I shook my head, “Joe said she wanted me, I’ve got to stay.”

“Zach,” Bex shook her head “She won’t mind, you can’t starve yourself.”

“I’m staying.” I told them more firmly.

“What do you want to eat?” Bex asked me.

“Anything,” I shrugged, “I’m not hungry,”

“Eat something Zach,” Rachel begged,

“I will,” I sighed, “I’m just worried about her.”

“We all are,” Bex told me, “She’ll be fine though.”

The pair of them went for breakfast while I stayed with Cammie. Her breathing picked up a little shortly after they left, I gently stroked her hair away from her face, “It’s okay Cam, I’m here,”

She whimpered a little in response and I felt the pressure on my hand increase a little as the muscles in her lower arm tensed.

“Shh,” I soothed her, “Rest Cammie.”

“I,” She sighed quietly, “I … don’t want… to.”

“Let your strength build up first,” I told her when her eyes flicked up to me, they looked heavy and tired so I leant forward and kissed her nose in the hope it would cheer her up a little.

“What …” She trailed off.

“Your stitches came out so you were bleeding again,” I told her, “Not as serious as being stabbed but still dangerous.”

Cam sighed and looked around the room, Go back to sleep Cam, I can see you’re exhausted. I begged silently but I could see something was bothering her.

“What’s wrong?” I touched her cheek and she looked back to me.

“Dreams,” Was all she said quietly.

“Bad ones?” I guessed, Cammie nodded once to me and moved across on the small bed. I took the hint and kicked my shoes off before climbing up next to her. I gently pulled her in to my arms and held her head against my shoulder. A small smile spread across her face and her eyes slipped shut as she fell back asleep.
