"Cam wait!" Chuck called running to catch up with me.

"Leave me alone Chuck!" I whisper yelled. "I have a headache and I'm tired and I can't do this right now."

"Oh, a headache, you never get headaches. That's a little strange, huh? Kinda like the fever, the sweat on your forehead, your blood shot eyes, and oh lets not forget the fact that you can see me!"

"Why do you have to ruin everything?" I asked quietly.

"You're not even in the right hallway" he laughed.

"Shut up!" I yelled. "Stop! Just stop!"

"It's getting worse now isn't it?" he taunted. "You're all sweaty, you're feeling dizzy, you can't seem to stand up straight, and god that headache it makes you wanna scream, huh?"

"Stop!" I screamed tangling my fingers in my hair to relieve the pressure on my head. Tears streamed down my face and the world spun around. I stepped forward to try and find my way back to my room when a new wave of pain hit me. I screamed out in pain, and leaned up against the wall.

"Why are you doing this?" I sobbed.

He was gone. He just disappeared. The pain, however, continued to get stronger until I fell to the ground. I waited for that moment, when I would slip into unconsciousness but it never came. I just sat there sobbing and screaming until the kids in the surrounding dorms were awoken and came to help. Someone got down next to me and asked me something along the lines of "What's wrong?" I couldn't tell who it was; I couldn't even think. Now, there were many figures around me and one shouted for another to go get help.

"Make it stop!" I screamed.

By now I had woken up almost the entire student body and the crowd was making way for someone with a rolling cot to bring me to the infirmary. I was picked up and laid down. I felt a sharp sting on my left arm and the world seemed to stop. My eyesight was clearing up, and I could now clearly see my mother, and Solomon, and a nurse with a syringe standing over me. I looked around, behind them some teachers were pushing students don the halls and back into their rooms. Zach resisted and pushed through towards me. My headache was deteriorating and I could feel my body temperature decreasing. I wiped the tears from my eyes and sat up. Everything was moving in slow motion. A hand tried to push me back down but I slapped it away and stood up. At first I felt weak. I took a few wobbly steps but broke out into a run when I saw my mother, Solomon, the nurse, and Zach step towards me to lay me back down. I ran as fast as I could until I bumped into Chuck.

"Oh hey" he smiled

"I'm mad at you" I said.

"For what?" he asked concerned.

"I…..I don't know…..I can't remember." I mumbled.

"Oh, well, then it must not have been very important." He laughed.

"Yeah….I…I guess not."

"C'mon, let's go up to the roof and look at the stars like we used to."

He wrapped his arm around me and led me to the roof. We laid down in the center of the roof and he pulled me close to him.

"Do you remember when we used to lay on the hammock in my mom's backyard and make up our own constellations?" he laughed.

"Yeah" I giggled. "We'd sneak out after bedtime and climb under a blanket with the cookie jar." I remembered.

"Oh! Do you remember that one time Devin and I came and abducted you from your bedroom late at night and we went to the park?" he asked.

"Yeah! We went on the swings and got a high as we could before we jumped off and landed on our asses!" I laughed.

"Then it started to rain and we just kept going! We landed in huge mud puddles! But once the lightning started, you got scared so we started to walk back home."

"And we got cold since we were sopping and I was in pajama shorts and a tank top so Devin took off his jeans and let me wear them" I laughed hysterically. "He walked two miles in the pouring rain in his boxers! I will never forget that night."

"He had a huge crush on you"

"Yeah, I know."

"What? How do you know? I told him if he ever made a move on you I'd butcher him." He asked, outraged.

"He told me"

"You went out with Devin Anderson!" he assumed outraged.

"Oh relax. We did not go out. Let's just say we were casual friends"

"You had SEX with Devin Anderson!"

"NO, I did not have sex with Devin Anderson!" I mocked him. "We occasionally made out and went to the movies every once in a while, it was no big thing."

"I'll kill him" he mumbled.

"I'd like to see you try" I teased.

"Hey, that's not fair don't play the dead card!"

"I think I just did!" I laughed, mischievously.

He opened his mouth to reply when I the door burst open.

"Why didn't you tell us you found her?" Solomon asked outraged. He was talking to Zach. He'd been standing there the whole time.

"How much did you hear?" I asked him, standing up. He just looked at me with a sad and worried expression.

"Are you okay, Cameron?" Solomon asked stepping towards me.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

"Gee, I don't know you practically had a seizure in the east wing hall way 20 minutes ago?" he said clearly confused and annoyed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You don't remember?" he asked.

Pictures flooded into my brain. I was in the hallway screaming in pain.

I gasped in realization. I put my hand over my mouth as a few tears streamed down my face. Zach rushed towards me and rested my head on his chest as he hugged me.

"Shh" he whispered. "Don't worry Gallagher Girl, everything's gonna be okay" he kissed the top of my head.

If only that were true.
