It's been a week since the accident; Zach was out of the hospital and had to stay off school for the last week to recover. My dad was found and immediately charged, his sentencing will take place at the end of next week but the police have ensured us that he will be away for a while. It was now Friday night and after having another day of people walking on eggshells around me and seemingly waiting for me to combust at any given moment I was getting home.

When I entered the apartment and took off my hoodie and bag at the doorway my mum emerged from the kitchen with her hospital scrubs on, "Hey Cam how was school?" I grunted in response and told her about the two pop quizzes I had in the afternoon, "Well I'm sure you'll have done great. I have cooked you some pasta and it is in the fridge for you to just heat up when you want it, there is some cash in the biscuit jar if there is an emergency and the numbers are on the fridge as usual."

Walking up to her laughing I placed my hands on her shoulder to calm her down; this was a regular thing whenever she leaves work for her night shift. "Calm down mum I'll be fine; I think I'm going over to Zach's tonight anyway so I'll probably end up staying there."

She smiled softly at me and pushed some of the wisps of hair that had fallen from my pony tail to behind my ear, "I'm sorry darling it's just I want to make sure I look after you properly until you leave next year." Sighing I looked down to the floor, "Have you still not heard from any of the scholarships yet?"

Shaking my head I rubbed my hands across my face, "No and when I did I doubt it'll be good news. That was supposed to be the night that got us the support we needed but I screwed it up and bloody ran off! I could have got a good scholarship I know it, and even with the money that dad didn't take it isn't enough to pay for a college degree."

Placing her hands on my cheeks she tenderly rubbed her thumb under my eye to catch my angry tears and lightly kissed my forehead, "Don't worry, it wasn't your fault. It will work out for the best I promise." Then she grabbed her coat and slipped it on, "What time are you going to Zach's?"

"I don't know, probably pretty soon why?" I began to untie my trainers as she slipped hers on.

"If you're staying the night make sure you're careful and use protection because that's the last thing we need right now." My head snapped up with shock and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment but my mum stood checking her bag as if this was a perfectly normal way to say goodbye to your daughter.

"Mum! He's on bed rest for a start and he can't really move very much." I was practically shrieking with embarrassment but my mum was giggling softly as she reached for the door handle.

Just when I thought she was going to leave without making me burn up from the blood rushing to my cheeks she gave me a quick glance and added, "Not all sexual activities have to involve a lot of tumbling around the bedsheets." Then she closed the door behind her but I could still hear her loud laughter as she walked towards the lift.

After my mum left I got showered and changed into some new clothes which were just some ripped denim jeans and a white top with a slogan on, I was now at Zach's. He was sitting at the kitchen table as I heated up the pasta that I brought from home, he was looking dangerously handsome in a pair of low hanging sweatpants and fortunately he had no shirt on. His hair was messy from it not being styled today and he had a stupid grin on his face as I "accidently" leaned over in front of him giving him a look at my ass in my tight jeans.

"Jesus Cam you're killing me." Then before I had a chance to comeback with something he gripped my hips and pulled me until I was sitting on his lap, he brushed my still slightly damp hair back his fingers trailing down my neck. "You have no idea how much I love you."

His voice was low and husky and when his lips went to my neck where his breath fanned my skin and his fingers pulled my top down across my shoulder my sarcastic remark was replaced with a soft moan. I felt his lips curl into a smirk as he kissed my jaw and slowly edged his lips to the corner of my mouth, "You're supposed to be resting." I breathed out as I gripped his hair in my fist when he pushed my front against his bare one.

We were both breathing heavily as our heart rates picked up, "I'll stop if you want." Then as he finally kissed me, his lips forceful against mine, he then pulled away and looked at me in the eye. His green ones filled with desire and his chest was rising against mine with the heavy breaths. I shook my head my words falling dead on my lips as Zach effortlessly moved me from sideways sitting on his lap to straddling him.

Moving my hands across his bare shoulders and up his neck I placed a soft kiss on his collar bone, then on his neck where I slowly sucked on the sensitive spot beneath his ear. I felt him harden beneath my thigh as I pressed myself further against him, slowly I moved my lips so they brushed across his cheek and I heard the sharp intake of breath as I neared his lips.

Apparently I was taking too long as with a low growl his lips were on mine; his arms were tight around my waist making my front pressed firmly against his. My hands were on the side of his face and down as neck as the kisses became were passionate, his arms loosened as his hands ran down my sides. During my movements I made sure to avoid his injuries and just followed the movements he was allowing me to do, I was making sure everything was at his pace.

It was a very intense pace to say the least.

His mouth was on my neck as he licked and sucked at it making my breaths became short and quick and my thighs tightened around his torso as my body was alive with ecstasy. His hands fumbled at the hem of my shirt before he pulled it off me and then his hands found my breasts. As he started kissing me again I became very aware of the situation, "Zach… Zach maybe we should slow down you're still recovering." My words came out slow and breathlessly as he left wet kisses down my chest and on my cleavage.

Slowly he pulled away, "Yeah maybe you're right." He seemed to slowly sober up but I could still see and feel the need for this to go further. "The food will be ready soon anyway." Smiling at him I combed through his hair to make it look more presentable and then I got off his lap and grabbed my shirt. "Hey no fair, you get to see my shirtless I should be allowed to see you shirtless too."

I started laughing then and turned around to give him a long kiss as he placed a hand on my lower back, "It's okay I sleep naked." We the burst out laughing and I slipped my shirt back on just as the oven bleeped telling us the pasta was ready.

We had finished our dinner and Zach was showering after we had a longer than necessary argument on why I wasn't going to join him, I was now sitting at his desk flicking through my phone when I heard his bedroom door click open. Looking up I saw Dean walk in and head towards the wardrobe, "Hey Dean." At the sound of my voice he jumped out of his skin and turned to face me his eyes wide and panicked.

A smirk graced his lips but he looked pretty embarrassed, "Shit Cammie you don't half know how to scare people." I was giggling to myself as he grabbed a dark navy shirt from one of Zach's hangers, "I didn't know you were round tonight."

"Yeah I got that from the shrieking and jumping." His response was just an exaggerated eye roll, "So why do you need that shirt, hot date with Lexi?"

"Yeah, we are going out for a meal with her family. Who are rich and her mother's a lawyer while her dad is a doctor so you know I won't feel at all out of place." His voice was dripping with sarcasm but I could sense the fear coming off him.

"Don't freak out, most parents main concern is the wellbeing of their child. They'll see you go all puppy eyed when you look at their daughter and how much you love her and not care about your income or whatever the hell you're worried about." I replied and he nodded and thanked me.

As he headed to the door he turned around to face me, "You know Zach looks at you the same way. He loves you so much it kind of scares me, I have never seen him so passionate about anything in his whole life." We were silent for a moment as I nodded my throat tightening slightly with tears, "I really wish you could have met our parents, they would have loved you."

Then with that he smiled warmly at me and closed the door behind him. When he left I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and filled with love and then put back in again, it was comforting knowing Dean actually liked me as well as believing his parents would have too. Pulling me from my thoughts as I stared at the wall with a light smile on my lips was Zach returning in a towel wrapped around his waist and another towel in his hand rubbing his damp curls.

I think my ovaries just exploded.

He was damp with droplets of water running down his toned chest and torso, the curls dripping down his neck as he patted them dry. The cut from my dad was actually healing really well and he got the few stiches removed yesterday so the scar was forming, he was yet to put a bandage back on it. But to honest it kind of added to the whole bad boy look he had going on right now.

Zach hasn't yet notices me gaping at him like a hormonal fan girl but he chucked the towel for his hair onto the door of his wardrobe and then picked up the dressing kit from the hospital, "Can you give me a hand with this babe?" Nodding I walked over to him and opened up the small box.

Taking out the dressing I placed it on the wound and then asked Zach to hold it in place as I wrapped it in a bandage and then secured it into place. "Done." Looking up I was caught off guard from how hooded his eyes had become, before I had much time to do anything else his hand found my waist and pulled me close towards his bare body.

He was seriously killing me tonight.

Running my hand up his side and across his chest then shoulder until I reached the back of his neck I pulled his face closer before lightly brushing my lips against his. Smiling against them he spoke, "How about I show you just how healed I've become." Before I could respond his lips were on mine and my back was on the mattress as the kissing got a lot more heated.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hours had past and it was now late into the night and Zach and I were still lying in his bed, his sheets were tangled around our legs as both our naked bodies were pressed against each other. His long fingers were combing through my hair as my cheeks rested on his chest and my fingers drew patterns on his chest. Music was playing softly in the background as out heavy rapid breaths returned to normal.

Looking up at Zach so my chin was resting on his chest I saw he was already staring down at me, "How's your arm?" His lips were curled into a boyish grin as he smoothed down my hair and traced my face with his fingertips.

"Fine, a little stiff but after that I can't really complain." His grin turned into a smirk as I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment and hid them behind my hair. Laughing softly he spoke again trying to supress his giggles, "Do you want to watch a film and pig out? I got a tub of your favourite ice cream this morning." Without giving much room for another option I jumped out of bed excitedly as Zach laughed and we got out of bed.

Zach put back on his boxers while I slipped my panties back on and just but his top on as we headed downstairs to get some snacks. As he went towards the freezer I checked my phone from my jacket pocket and saw that I had a missed call from an unsaved number, curiosity quickly consuming me I called the number back. After a few rings there was an answer.

"Hello I had a missed call from this number from about ten minutes ago?" There was a polite woman on the other end asking for my name so she could check her system, I glanced at Zach to see him already giving me a curious look. I shrugged my shoulders in response and then he carried on preparing some stuff for our movie marathon.

A few moments passed before the woman spoke again, "Yes Cameron Morgan, its Sarah and I work with New York University we were just calling earlier to inform you that your application for your scholarship went through and we are pleased to inform you that you have a full sports college for NYU. If you keep an eye on your emails and post all of the details regarding the scholarship and further forms you have to fill out will be coming to you in the next couple of weeks."

I was literally hanging on every word Sarah was saying, gripping the phone as my heart battered against my ribs. "Thank you so much, yes I'll keep an eye. Thank you so much." After Sarah congratulated me once again and then we hung up I stared at my phone for a second before screaming and jumping up and down.

Zach was next to me trying to get me to calm down, "What's going on? Who was that?"

His eyes were twinkling with amusement at my massive grin and as I snaked my arms around his neck they darkened slightly, "NYU are offering me a scholarship, a full one. I am going to be able to go to college!"

Zach's smirk erupted into a grin as his arms tightened around my waist and he spun me around in circles as we laughed hysterically, slowing us down he lightly placed me back onto the floor but his arms were still tight around my waist as he brought his forehead against mine. "I am so proud of you Cammie." Smiling softly I pressed my lips lightly against his, "So bloody much." He muttered against them before he took it up himself to deepen it.

It had been a week since I found out about my scholarship and Zach's arm was pretty much healed it would just ache every now and then. When I told my mum about the scholarship she cried for about twenty minutes- from happiness- in front of Zach which made me want to crawl into a ball of embarrassment. I told my coach and he congratulated me telling me how proud he was of me. When the gang found out they screamed and acted even more embarrassingly than my mum, Nick proceeded to lift me up nearly over his head cheering.

When he nearly ran both of us into a tree he carefully returned me to the ground which I was grateful for.

Currently it was Friday lunch time and we were sitting outside on the grass, I was sitting next to Macey as she helped me with some German notes I couldn't get the hang of. Nick and Adam were arguing over some sports star while Grant and Bex were arguing over something stupid- probably who is paying for their next date it is a regular argument for them although they don't mean to argue a lot they are always just petty ones. Zach was sitting with his back against the tree we were sitting under scrolling through his phone; he kept glancing at me and smiling before looking back at his phone.

Judging from the smirk that would appear after he pointed it at one of us in the group I can almost guarantee he is trying to take mug shots of us for his Snapchat story since it's his new favourite thing. As I wrote some more notes for German finally getting the hang of the verbs Macey grabbed her phone and a loud shrill erupted from her lungs, "ZACH GOODE I WILL RIP YOUR MANHOOD OFF IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE THIS PHOTO!"

Everyone pulled out their phones in unison as Macey seethed with rage and then we all burst out laughing at the unflattering angle Zach had caught her at with his camera on high zoom. "It isn't funny," She was whining and proceeded to smack my arm "Tell your stupid boyfriend to delete that stupid pic before anyone else sees it." I was laughing but glanced at Zach to see him grinning but deleting the photo.

"There you go Macey, you can calm down now. Only half the football team saw it it's no big deal." This statement ended with her throwing her large German textbook at my boyfriend's stomach.

After our mini Macey drama at lunch we were now heading to our afternoon lessons, I was grabbing some stuff from my locker before I was about to head to German to hand in my homework Macey was helping me with when I felt a familiar chest pressed against my back. As Zach's warm breath fanned my bare neck from my hair being pulled into a pony tail my skin erupted with tingles and my knees nearly gave out beneath me.

I really need to get over this, I mean we're together I shouldn't still be a hot shaking mess whenever he is around me.

His lips lightly pressed against my neck as he mumbled a greeting on my skin making my insides turn to mush and I turned around slowly before leaning against the locker next to my open one as he stepped closer so out hips were nearly touching. "How's your arm?" I asked and he murmured a response before pressing his lips back to my neck and slowly dragged his mouth up my jaw before he lightly kissed the corner of my mouth.

My eyes rolled shut as I gripped the lapel of his jacket tighter pulling him closer and a soft moan left me, "You look very good today." Zach breathed against my skin as his lips moved against my skin as he spoke. Moving my hands from his jacket to his waist I snaked my hand around his back beneath his jacket and over his top pulling him closer.

"Oh babe I know." I whispered before pressing my lips against his and pulling him closer as his hands fell to my neck and his long fingers reached into my hair as his lips moved against my own. His mouth telling me things he couldn't say at school, kissing me softly but with so much love and passion it made my heart hammer and my body fill with warmth. The kisses weren't rushed or hungry we were taking our time, not caring we were in the now empty hallway as my hand balled his top into a fist and my other messed up his hair as I pressed his face closer to mine.

Pulling us from our moment was a loud whistle from the end of the hallway, "Morgan just before you are hiding behind your locket door doesn't mean you're invisible- now get to class." I could hear my coach smiling as he spoke, he wasn't angry probably just irritated. Smirking Zach rested his forehead against mine as my coach's footsteps carried on in their direction away from us.

"It's a good job you're his favourite student otherwise we'd be getting roasted right now." Zach said as he stepped away from me.

"Yeah it is, now come here I wasn't done with you Goode." Then I pressed my lips back to his.

THE END.

Thank you for everyone who supported this story, it really means a lot. Some of the stuff in this may not be factual as I don't go to school in America so the schooling system might be different- I apologise if it isn't.

Hope you had as good of a time reading this as I did writing it.
