Lately Zack was feeling down... But unwised with exposition of feelings, he kept them boiling up inside in him, trapped with no escape.

Zack's POV

" I've been sleeping all day long since we got home from school at 3:36.. Now there's no way I'm going to sleep at night " I thought to myself when I finally opened my eyes... On the other hand, I don't think I'd be able to sleep even by being awake all day long, in the last few days I've been crying myself to sleep, and unknown why, I've been feeling horrible... Luckily Cody nor mom have noticed somethings bothering me, because if they did... Mom would freak out, and Cody wouldn't let me live a day without asking me if I'm okay.. Now it's 6:13 pm... And I here plates cliking agains forks and spoons, soon to notice they were having dinner, ( Without me )

For some reason that thought hurt and burned inside of me, bringing tears to my eyes, and making my vision blurry, and unable to see, I throw myself back against my pillows and burry my face in all my blankets unable to hold back tears, I let them flow out like a river of feelings, unable to stop, I let out a sob of distress... But soon to fall back into a soundless sleep.

ooo

Cody's POV

Mom and I were all finished with dinner, as she stood up and placed the dirty dishes in the sink, the first thing that popped in my mind was " Zack "... As soon as mom left out the door for her night shift at the restaurant I jumped off my seat and rushed to our bedroom door, but soon to stop in my tracks in front of the door, re thinking what to say.

" Zack? Can I come in? " I whispered through the door, as I noticed the room was completely filled with darkness, and afraid to wake him up I prided the door slightly opened and slid myself inside the room, closing the door behind me.

" Zack? Are you awake? " I asked as I approached his bed. When I got to the side of the bed, I took seat at the very edge of his bed, and shook his legs slightly.. " Zack? " I asked again.. The respond I got, speed my heart rate. " Leave m-e alone c Cody.. " I heard Zack choke out.. It sounded like he was crying, which I did not expect to come from him, Zack is one of the toughest people I know, I've never seen him cry in years.

" Zack, where? Where you crying? " I asked as I approached closer to him and tryed to pull of the blankets from his face, but he hold a grip on it, making it impossible for me to snatch from him. " Just leave me alone! Go away! " he yelled at me... I was shocked by his tone, still worried, but understood he needed his space for now. I calmly let got of him, and walked out the door closing our room behind me.

when I got to the couch I plopped on it with a sigh, " what is going on with him? " I asked myself under my own breath. Whatever it was, I needed to find out... Zack would never come to me by himself, so I needed to find a way to help him... But how could I help him, if he doesn't let me in?

Zack's POV

I really didn't mean to sound that mean to Cody, I never meant to yell, I definitely didn't mean to be so rude. I was just not feeling in the mood, but it was still not a good excuse to treat him the way I did... I felt horrible, but there was no way I was bringing my self to apologize to him, I couldn't... " I'm such a horrible twin " I whispered to myself as once again tears started to flow down my face... I'm impressed that I haven't run out of tears by now. And again I had absolutely no idea why I felt so horrible, the thought of not knowing didn't hurt as much, I'm used to being confused about stuff, what stung was the way I treated Cody... Yeah sure I pick on him time to time...

but this time I really didn't mean to.. I covered my whole body with pillows and blankets from head to toes, unable to be seen by human beings. There is no way I'm going to sleep tonight I thought as soon as I noticed my alarm clock, that pointed out that it was 9:52 pm Pass bedtime.

Cody's POV

I spended about an hour thinking about how to confront him, " nothing! " zero ideas, ZERO, ZHLITCH, NADA... I was a complete blank slate right there, unable to think straightforward... I stood up to look at the time, and noticed it was 9:52 pm... It was past our bed time... I made my way into the room to get my pajamas, as soon as I opened the door a pillow came flying towards me, and an angry voice yelled " Cody! Leave me alone! " the minute the pillow came flying towards the door, I was able to duck it, but in fear I stepped out of the room. I soon remembered I extra pajamas in the bathroom, I went towards the bathroom instead, too afraid to go inside the room, were my brother was prepared to attack if I'd come in. When I got to the bathroom I quickly slid into my pajamas, brushed my teeth.. And in a matter of minutes I was in and out.

Once I was out of the bathroom, I once again approached our bed room door with a steady pace... Then i had the ide of bringing protection along with me just in case another pillow comes flying to my face again or somethings worse, I spotted my school portfolio still laying on the kitchen counter, I walked over to grabbed and soon use it as a shield over my face, I walked back over to the door, placed my hand on the door handle and with a breath I entered, still covering my face as I entered the room and closed the door behind me... I tryed to turn the lights on, but I received a yell back not to, I obeyed and walked along the sides of our messy room trying to find my way to my bed, still covering my face with the porfolio, afraid if I looked at my brother he'd explode into flames.

i tripped various times with shoes, a baseball, and what I hoped was an old pudding cup on the floor trying to reach my bed... When I finally arrived at my destination I placed my porfolio down on my night stand and jumped inside my bed... " Night Zack " I said, and with no response I went off to sleep, not that I was disappointed to get no response, I really wasn't expecting him to answer... Still with the worried feeling inside of me I drifted into a soundless sleep.
