Hello everyone :) I just got back from my school trip and while I was there I had to room with a struggling author and she was super amazing and inspirational and she just gave me a boost of confidence and inspiration and I know this is a rambling sentence but basically she gave me some really good advice, which is you have to start somewhere. I was kind of questioning myself on why I was writing these FanFics when no one important could read them. It was pointless, is what I told myself. But then I met my roommate and she just inspired me so much because she is eighteen and almost finished writing her first book. And I started thinking about that and I realized, she's right, I do have to start somewhere, even if no one reads these stories, it will benefit me, and my writing. And I just found that somewhat incredible. Okay, I'm going to let you guys actually read the story now… *awkward ramble= over*
****IMPORTANT**** I know that this is kind of short notice, but hehehe, this is the last chapter… It's an extra-long chapter, just for you!
Happy readings:
My birthday was one of the best I've had yet. Even though it was a week ago, I can't help but think wonderful that day had turned out. After Zach and I had our little, what shall I call it, moment? Alright; after Zach and I had our moment, we watched Finding Nemo in the T.V. room. Then he asked me to go make him a sandwich in the kitchen, to which I responded with some very strong words. (Cough cough sexist pig.) And then he gave me one of his looks so I decided to just make him his damn sandwich. As I walked into the kitchen, I nearly had a heart attack. Most sane people would (Not that I'm sane, it's a well-known fact to myself that I am beyond mental) considering the fact that your housemates jump out of nowhere screaming "SURPRISE!"
To say I was happy, would be an understatement. I was elated. Never in my life had I been thrown a surprise birthday party. When Liz walked into my view holding a triple chocolate cake with nineteen candles lit up in her delicate hands, I almost squealed. What can I say? I love chocolate…
I was brought out of my pleasant memory when Zach slammed the door to our room shut. Erm… Yeah you don't need to get your eyes checked, you read correctly, OUR room. As in Zach and I… Did I forget to mention that we are sort of an item, in a relationship, a couple…? However you want to say it. So yeah, me and Zach have now been dating for a week, around the house, and in our room… If ya catch my drift *insert winky face here*
Zach wraps his arms around my waist and leans his head on my shoulder. "Ready to go babe?" He asks affectionately. We were about to head to the shopping center downtown to get my birthday presents. Zach had meant to take me earlier but he had been really busy lately and today was his only free day. I had been insisting that he didn't need to buy me anything, but Zach being the stubborn ass he is, would always tell me to shut up because he has every right in the world to spoil his girl. After a while I just kind of gave up and gave in. Which leads me to where we are right now.
"Yeah I'm ready let me just get my shoes on. You can go down without me, I'll just be a minute." I say looking around the room in search of my missing shoe.
"Okay." He kisses my cheek and heads out the door.
"GOT IT!" I cheer as I find my long lost shoe under the bed. Hmm, I must have kicked it under there when I was… Never mind.
I rush downstairs and pas the T.V. room into the kitchen. I will be completely honest with you, I'm excited. This is the first time I'll leave the house to do something normal. As I was running into the kitchen, I ran right into Jonas. "HeyJonasgottogoI'mgoingtothemallwithZach." I rushed out in one breath.
"Huh?" He looked confused. "Can you repeat that, but this time at the speed of a normally functioning human being?" He joked.
"Zach is taking me to the mall to get my birthday presents." I said slower this time.
"I know where you're going Cams." He got serious for a minute, his voice transforming into a whisper. "Today I'm going to help you escape. Just wait for my signal."
"How will I know it's your signal?" I whispered back.
"You'll know. Just try to remain inconspicuous." His voice went back to normal volume, "Have fun at the mall today Camster."
"I will." I replied half-heartedly.
My mind was a jumbled mess. Did I really want to escape? Yes. But what about all the friends I made? What about Zach? Things were finally going good between us.
I put on a big smile and pretended to be excited as I left the house and entered the garage. Zach was already waiting with the car turned on. I hopped in and buckled my seatbelt.
During the whole twenty five minute car ride, both Zach and I sand along to every song that played on the radio. Even if there was a song that we didn't know well, we would still mumbled along to the beat.
As we pulled into the mall parking lot, I was struck with the realization that from this point on, anything could happen. This could possibly be the last time that I see Zach. Just before he exited the car, I pput my hand over his. "Zach?"
He settled back into his seat. "Yeah Cam? What is it?"
"Um, well I just wanted to make sure; you know that I love you, right?" I asked playing with my fingers.
"Yeah, and I love you. What's wrong Cam?" He asked with concern lacing his voice.
"No, nothing's wrong. I just wanted to make sure you knew that. I love you, and I always will. No matter what happens."
He looked at me strangely. "Okay. I know you love me. Ready to go?"
I put on another smile, "Yep!"
What would happen from here on out, only time could tell.
We had been walking around the mall for HOURS! I couldn't even give something a second glance because Zach would rush into whatever store it was and buy it for me! He was being such a sweetheart, holding all of my bags and waiting patiently for me to try on all of the clothes he would pick out for me.
Right now, we were on our way to the food court to eat some lunch. As we were walking, a small glint caught my eye. I turned my attention to where it was coming from; a jewelry store. There, in the display case, was the most gorgeous necklace I had ever seen. It was a simple silver chain, and hanging off of it was a heart twisted out of silver.
I felt a pair of large hands cover my eyes. "Guess who?" My boyfriend said as he tried, and epically failed to disguise his voice.
"Hmmm, is it the most adorable, sexy, charming person I know?" He takes his hands off of my eyes and spins me around so that I'm facing him. I pout in mock disappointment. "Aww, I thought it was Jimmy."
"Really? How am I not charming?" He says while wearing his sad puppy dog face. "Close your eyes." He commands softly. I do as I'm told. "Now, if I weren't charming, would I have gotten you this?" I feel cold metal on my neck. "Open your eyes."
The necklace from the display. "Zach… This is beautiful. I love it. H-how'd you get it? Weren't you right next to me the whole time?"
"You were zoned out, staring at that necklace for a good five minutes. It wasn't that hard to sneak away."
"Well thank you. I love it." I reached up on my tippy toes and pecked his lips. "And I love you."
"I love you too." He smiled down at me. "Now let's go get some lunch, okay?"
I nodded my head in agreement then grabbed his hand so that he could lead the way.
"So you want Orange Chicken?" Zach asked in confirmation.
"Yuppers. Please and thank you!"
"Okay, just stay here with all of the bags and I'll go get your food. Don't leave the table." He warned.
"I won't, now go get me my food. I'm hungry!" I whined. With that, Zach left me alone to go get our lunch.
While I was admiring my necklace, I noticed a figure hovering over me. I looked up and came face to face with Jonas… We really have to stop meeting like that.
"It's time." On second hand, we might not be meeting again, so it's okay.
"Okay." What? So you're just going to leave Zach? I have to. I want to be free.
As we weaved through the lunch hour food court crowd, a thought crossed my mind. "Jonas, where am I going? I can't go home. That's the first place he'll look for me."
"Well, I actually did some research. You will board train 27, which will stop in Rhode Island, then you will switch to train 74 which should take you to Maine, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but your mom lives in Maine, correct?" He knows about my mom? I numbly nod my head. "Okay, so that will lead you to your mother, and she will be expecting you."
"Well, that's a lot to take in…"
"I know, but you can do this. I'm taking a cab with you to the train station, but from there on out, you're on your own."
As we entered the taxi, I looked back. I'm not sure why, maybe it was in hopes of seeing one last glimpse of Zach.
I quickly turned away. I can't look back anymore. From this day forward, all I can do is look on for what is to come. And try to forget about this past.
Hmmm, if only I had known, that will never be possible. Especially not now.
The End.
Okay, so I am going to finish up Politics, and then I will start writing the sequel.
Speaking of sequels, what do you guys think the sequel should be called? I'm open to any suggestions. I've been thinking about it a lot but I'm kind of stuck. Suggestions are welcomed… Like seriously, help me.
When the sequel is up, I'll post a new chapter on this story announcing it. Or you could just favorite and follow or whatever it's called me as an auther so that you know.
And review, just because it's the last chapter and you love me:)
