"I love you", those three words can change a whole person's day. Like, for instance, when Zach said those three words, my whole world lit up. It was a Saturday evening; I was tired after a long day of training.
*Flashback*
"Evening Gallagher Girl" Zach walked in and smirked when he saw my frazzled hair and sweaty workout clothes, "You look beautiful."
"Ha-ha Zach. Very funny, what's up?" I questioned as I walked over to my bag, rummaging around for a water bottle.
"It wasn't a joke and nothing much. How about you meet me in my room at nine, I've got a surprise for you"
I raised my eye brow, "What kind of surprise?" I walked over to him, sipping my drink.
"You'll see" he smirked, as usual. "Come on Gallagher Girl" he draped his arm over my shoulder and walked me to my room.
It was ten-to-nine when I was ready. Showered and dressed in black leggings, a denim jumper matched with denim converse.
"Oooh, where you going Cam? Got a hot date with Zach?" laughed Bex when she saw me.
"Not really. He just asked to see me at nine. I'm meeting him in his room, some sort of surprise I guess."
"Cool, well have fun!" she called as I walked out the door. I can't believe that I once thought she was after my boyfriend, then again nether of them gave me a nice welcome.
"Hi Gallagher Girl" Zach was already outside his door, leaned against the wall. He was wearing a blue polo shirt with jeans and he had his usual Zach smell that I love. He took my hand and walked me into his room.
"So, what's the surprise?" I asked. He didn't answer he just stood me in front of the tiny mirror near the door. He told me to close my eyes as he walked towards his wardrobe.
Suddenly, I felt something cold around my neck; Zach had put a gold necklace around me. The necklace was gold and in the shape of a heart, I was speechless.
"I love you. I love you Cammie. And I don't mind if you don't feel the same, after all that's happened I'm surprised you still want something to do with me." He rubbed his hand up and down my arms, soothingly. I leaned back into his chest, feeling his heart beating.
"Oh Zach, it's beautiful. I love you too." I said it instantly before giving him a hug. At first I just said the words without thinking then I thought about it. I do love Zach. We've had our ups and downs but he was always with me. I mean not many girls can say their boyfriends blew themselves up to save her.
"You make me so happy Cam, you really do. Whenever I'm with you, all the bad things she has done just fade away. With you, I'm the real Zachary Goode" he looked deep into my eyes saying this, and I could tell he'd meant it. My eyes must have been tearing up because Zach's thumb went over my cheek.
"Goodnight Cammie" said Zach before leaning down to kiss me. His kiss was soft and full of love and passion. He cupped my face, before giving me one last kiss.
Zach walked me to my room; hand on my waist while my head leaned against his chest. When we got to my room Zach gave me another kiss before kissing my fore head and walking away. That night I slept with a smile on my face.
*Flashback Over*
Ever since then I've never taken off my necklace. Bex, Macey and Liz know how the night went, and keeping going on about it. Most students think they know the truth, but they don't. Especially if they got it off Tina. All I cared about was that Zach loved me and I loved him, with all my heart. I've realised that whatever's happened, I've always loved Zach, I know I have.
