even though the doctor came in and told me that bex wasn't hurt bad and she would probably be returning to school next week looking completely normal again, i couldn't leave her side. and apparently, niether could macey.

it amazes me that even sleeping in a hard, wooden, little chair, macey could still look like a princess. she'd been sleeping for about an hour. and right now, i really wanna wake her up. i mean, how can she be sleeping at a time like this? our best friend just got seriously (...minorly...) injured! and it's all his fault.

gosh, and right when i was getting to the point of realizing that i might have overreacted and was about to apoligize jumping to conclusions, he goes off and almost kills bex! well guess what goode? now i hate you for a whole 'nother reason.

but then again, it couldv'e been an accedent... and i could (once again) be overreacting. now that i think about it, i can't really think of any reason why zach would purposely try and hurt bex... except that she flung paint at him the entire 45 minutes of first period art class... but that was a pretty extreame way of getting back at her. a little rough and mean for zach.

speaking of the devil, where is he? shouldn't he be here, at bex's side, crying for all of our forgiveness? okay, i will admit that that is a little out of script for zach's type. but he should at least call one of us and attempt to apoligize.

just as i was thinking about that, my phone rang. my cheesy ring tone went off. willow's 'whip my hair' went off, and not wanting to wake up macey, i ran out the door to the room and stood by the receptionists desks, looking at thhe caller id.

"what do you want, zach?" i groaned into the phone, secretly wanting to forgive him for everything and admit that i have been pretty bitch-like myself.

"cammie? is bex awake?" he responded, sounding rather bored with the conversation. his tone completely changed my mood, now instead of being be fake mad, i was seriously mad.

"no, she's not awake yet, but the doctor said she'll be back at school next week, looking better than ever," i said through clenched teeth. i couldn't belive that he actually didn't care that he had hurt bex.

"...why do you sound so pissed?" he asked, smacking his lips togther on the other end of the phone line, almost like he was eating something.

"why do you think i sound so pissed?" i said. "and what the heck are you eating?" i asked. his smacking lips were starting to give me a headache.

"vanilla pudding. want some?" he asked, like i could just reach through the phone and grab a bowl. just to annoy me, he made an extra loud smacking noise. "i'll be at the hospital in 15. see you in a few," he said, hanging up before i could protest. great, now i should really wake up macey.

while i was sitting there, considering the options of either waking up macey or letting her sleep, and considering the consequences and advantages of them both, zach walked in. he looked laid back and casual, as if he hadn't put bex in a hospital. when he saw me, he smiled, walking over to the chair directly beside me. we were facing bex's bed, and macey was asleep on the other side of the room.

"we need to talk," he stated,whispering calmly. i just rolled my eyes.

"well i dont really want to talk to you right now. and all of the events that happened today- - with shelby, and now bex- - have now comfirmed that feeling," i huffed, crossing my arms across my chest and turning my head to signal i was finished.

it took him a while to respond, but he eventually did. "im sorry. im sorry about shelby and im sorry about what i did to bex. i dont even like shelby, and we are not dating. and what i did to bex was an accedent. you know that i would never purposely do anything like that to her.i know you know that. that's the only reason i came by here, was to apoligize. but because you obviously dont want to hear this or see me, i guess i'll leave," he finished, slowly getting up and heading for the door.

l kept my arms crossed and my head turned until he left, then i softened when he was out of view. did he really just say those things to me? i wondered. thats when i noticed macey.
