So Much for My Happy Ending
A/N Okay HI! My first One-Shot here (I know that should be before I actually do my stories but I work backwards) it's actually a song-fic but anyways here I go…
Okay I am editing this so it fits Fanfiction requirements but this contains quotes from Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne
Disclaimer: No I do not own the Gallagher Girls series, I just don't. I don't know why.
Cammie's POV
"Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending…"
I can't believe it. Correction you don't want to believe it. I corrected because I know now it all makes sense. Before I left for that two month long mission Zach was cranky, mean, and snappy I didn't know why then but now… it all fits. I was blocking him from the person he wanted to be with. Bex. Zach was cheating on me with my best friend.
I listen to my feet pad against the concrete and remember a few minutes ago when I found out.
I stepped out of the taxi and grab my bags. Mmm feels good to be home. I take a look at the small house Zach and I were renting. Just seeing how it would be to be… roommates. So far so good but Zach was acting mean sometimes. I don't know it will probably just take him a little while to get used to me being there all the time. I step up on the porch and silently open the door. I can't wait to see his face when I surprise him. I'm actually supposed to meet him tomorrow but I finished the mission early and saw an opportunity to catch an earlier flight and took it.
I push the door open just a little bit more and I can see into the living from how our little Cape Cod style house was set up. Then there on the couch is Zach and a girl making out. I stepped back shocked. No. It can't be. I look into the house again.
"Mmm Bex" He mumbles and I gasp in shock but luckily they don't hear me. "Just one" He kisses her "More" He kisses her again "Day" and then a last time on the mouth. One more day? What is one more- oh. I would be home in one more day. I silently close the door and walk away. I can't believe it. It's not supposed to be this way.
And I still can't but… I guess it's time to face him. So I get off the park bench my feet seemed to have carried me to and head back to the house.
"…Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?..."
"Zach" I greeted emotionlessly at the door and Zach who is cleaning the room looks up at me surprised with that deer in the headlights look.
"Ca-Cam!? Your home early!" He says and then smirks. He walks over to me and starts to give me a hug and I kiss. I step away and shove him slightly. Not to hurt him just to get him to back off.
"I saw you and Bex." I say still staring at him emotionlessly.
"W-what?!" He says looking guilty through and through. I clear my throat.
"Sorry correction, I heard you two." Zach pales slightly probably thinking of all the things I could have heard. Then he does a face palm and shakes his head.
"Sorry Cam I didn't want you to find out that way-" I turn away I don't want to listen to this right now.
"I- I don't want to listen to this right now. 'Kay?" I say turning back to him and he shrugs.
"Whatever, but can you leave then?" I am shocked that he would say something like that and am suddenly reminded of how he had been acting two months prior.
"S-sure." I say in a quiet voice and turn to the door. "I'll get someone to pick up my stuff." As soon as I am out the door I feel my eyes fill with tears that I fought so hard to hold back and whip out my phone. I feel myself dialing someone's number and look down at it. Bex's number. How did I end up here? No loving boyfriend, no best friend that I thought I could trust anything with. I started typing in Liz and Macey's numbers they'll help. But how did I end up here?
"….You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it…"
"She's been like this all week." I hear Macey whisper to Liz outside my room. She's right. I've been in my PJs in her guest bed and haven't moved pretty much all week. "I don't know what to do anymore! I mean every time I suggest talking to him or at least getting her stuff from him she just flinches or shakes her head no!"
"Give her time Macey you know how hard it was with Josh and him and her had such a shorter relationship. Her and Zach have been going on for years!" She's right. I thought I would have a family with him, grow old, I thought he was the one. But already I feel him seeping away then I realize was he ever really there? Was he ever truly with me? Did he really love me? Or was I just something to pass the time until he found something better? I know Bex is prettier more athletic and stronger but I never thought her and Zach would end up together… while me and Zach were together.
"….You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?..."
"L-liz?" I mumble and she looks up from the book she is reading while she sits in my room. Just keeping me company while I aimlessly search the TV channels for something to watch.
"Yeah Cam?" She softly replies.
"Can you take me to my- I mean Zach's place? I need to pick up my stuff." Liz looks surprised but quickly nods.
"Sure just give me a sec. Macey wanted to know when you leave for his place." As she exits the room I can't help but think this isn't good. I was right. As soon as Macey walked in she was screaming about how she couldn't wait to make me beautiful because in her opinion I looked like 'a woman who hordes and owns fifty cats'. I rolled my eyes but I let her have her fun. Who knows maybe it will make me feel pretty.
Macey is a miracle worker. I felt beautiful as I headed hom- I mean over to Zach's. As soon as I knock Zach opens up and his eyes widen slightly. I'm glad he can see what he gave up but I don't like the way he is looking at me.
"Hey beautiful-"
"Cut the crap Zach I'm here to get my stuff." I walk in and head to our- Zach's room where my stuff is. As soon as I open the drawers I see my stuff isn't there anymore. But Bex's is. I walk out of the room to ask Zach where my stuff is but he's on the phone. I know I shouldn't eavesdrop but I can't help it.
"… yeah and then she yelled at me and walked into my room. But she hasn't talked to me since she left!" Zach says and I hear the muffled voice reply. I think it's one of his friends. Grant? Jonas? Nick? I'm going with Nick, the one I've only met twice.
"Chill dude she's just being difficult. I mean what is she going to do about it?..." He says more but that's all I want to hear.
"Where's my clothes Zach?" I demand and he turns to me with a scowl.
"Guest room Cammie." Then he turns back around to continue his conversation with Nick.
How did this end up this way? This was supposed to be my happy ending not some soap opera!
"…And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending…"
"So Cammie" Macey starts as I continue to lie on my bed unmoving "I have decided what to do to make you feel better." I roll my eyes because all I feel like doing is lying on this bed and imagining that Zach meant every word he said that he wasn't pretending and that all those memories I used to hold so close to me were real. "we" she continued "Need to get you back on the market!" She yelled
I let her have her fun. I went shopping and let her get me an entirely too tight and short cocktail dress. I let her go on about how I can find a new better man since I am now beautiful and single. But deep down I know that that was it for my happy ending.
"…It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one…"
When we arrive at the club Macey dragged me to I knew she was wrong. I couldn't find a new man. Not when my old man was standing twenty feet away with my best friend on his arm looking better than I ever could have with him. "That little b*tch!" Macey screamed once she saw Bex and Zach together. "I'm going to kill him that lying scheming son of a-"
"Macey" I cut her off because people were staring. "Please quiet down. I'll go get us some drinks you go and meet someone. Get a guy, have some fun I'll meet you in twenty minutes." She nods still fuming and I head to the bar. But then I decide not to go drink my sorrows away and head over to a couch instead. I see everyone dancing and immediately my eyes find Zach and Bex dancing.
I can't believe he let me think he was the one. Then just let me go. I thought that he was it that I was done he loved me and we would live happily ever after. It's nice to see that he will with my best friend but I won't. I can't believe that's it that now it's just done.
"…All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending…"
Suddenly I feel someone sit next to me. "Ex?" the person whispers over to me. And I turn to the person.
"Yeah, you know them?" I ask him. And I can't help but think that maybe I was wrong. Maybe I can still find a happy ending. This boy was tall, lanky but muscular, had shaggy blond, hair and dark brown eyes. The polar opposite of Zach. And I was undeniably attracted to him. Zach was everything that I thought I knew, and I thought I wanted but now I know he was just pretending. Maybe it's so much for that happy ending. But not this one.
"The names Riley and yes I knew the girl, Bex."
"Names Cammie and I knew them both" I take a look at Bex grinding up against Zach "Best friend and boyfriend."
"Well we must have a lot in common then." And with one last look at Zach I nod.
"So much for that happy ending."
