Chapter One: Gone Away

Cody looked into his mirror and smiled. He looked as happy as he was sad. The sparkling hat on his head read 2007, he was also wearing sparkling clothes that had 2007 all over them.

"Happy New Year Zack." Cody whispered into the mirror.

Carey opened the door to his room. Cody turned to look at her.

Maybe In Another Life

I Could Find You There

Pulled Away Before Your Time

I Can't Deal It's So Unfair.

"Are you all right sweet heart?" Carey asked taking Cody in a hug.

"Yeah." Cody smiled brightly.

"Okay, come out soon." Carey left. Cody's smile fell instantly.

He looked into the mirror for another few minutes, then went into the front room and joined the party.

Michelle was there. He couldn't handle being around her now. Not after she had refused him. He loved her so much, why couldn't she understand that?

It had been two weeks ago now. Since Zack's death.

And It Feels

Yeah It Feels Like

Heaven's So Far Away.

"Hi Cody." Rebecca smiled pecking him on the shoulder.

Cody turned to see Rebecca and Tommy. Tommy was obviously drunk.

"Hi." Cody smiled.

"Are you doing okay?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah." Cody replied.

It felt so natural to lie for some reason.

"See you around." Rebecca called as Tommy pulled her away.

Cody took a seat on the couch. The music, the food, the decorations, the people...It was too much too soon. Maddie took a seat beside him.

"Hey." Cody said smiling brightly.

"So your having as bad a time as I am?" Maddie asked seriously.

She knew Cody all too well.

"Yeah." Cody said letting his smile fall. Maddie gave him a hug.

"I know your going through a rough time, but your going to ask Michelle out and she'll pro-"

"She doesn't like me." Cody interrupted sadly.

"Oh." Maddie said abruptly. "I'm so sorry Cody."

"Me too." Cody sighed. He got up and walked into he crowd of people. If he hadn't, he would have broken down.

"Hey Cody." Cody heard Michelle's cheery voice behind him.

Oh no, not her. Cody turned to see her.

"Hi." He replied. "I didn't know you were here." Cody lied.

"Yeah, Carey told me I should come." Michelle looked at the people.

"I don't really know anyone here." She said.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I have to go." Cody said disappearing into the crowd.

Cody left the suite. He went down the elevator, into the lobby, then outside. Cody ran. As fast as he could. He ran into the darkness of the night. Soon, he came to a hault in front of the Boston Cemetery.

The gates were open. Why? Cody didn't care. He walked into the cemetery.

And It Feels

Yeah It Feels Like

The World Has Grown Cold

Now That YOu've Gone Away.

Cody walked to Zack's grave. Tears ran down his face as he ran his fingers over it.

"Zack? It's me." Cody wiped tears from his eyes. "I miss you so much." Cody sniffled. "I just wanted to say Happy New Year." Cody took his hat off and set it on Zack's grave. "I love you." Cody whispered. The fresh black roses that he had left were still there. He had left them only yesterday.

Leaving Flowers On Your Grave

To Show That I Still Care

Black Roses And Hail Marys

Can't Bring Back What's Taken From Me.

Cody sat there, for what seemed like forever. Then, screaming broke the silence. He stood up and looked around. In the distance, Cody saw a boy hit another girl. He walked towards them, but made sure they didn't see him.

"Please stop." The girl cried.

Cody realized that it was Rebecca and Tommy.

He had no idea that Tommy hit her. Cody was mad, but stayed back. Mostly because he saw someone walking towards him in the dark.

The person walked on by Cody. It was someone else visiting the graveyard. Rebecca and Tommy were out of sight now. Cody went back to Zack's grave.

"Zack?" He called. "I'll see you later, bro."

I Reach To The Sky

And Call Out Your Name

And If I Could Trade

I Would.

Cody stood. Behind him was Maddie.

"I noticed that you were gone." She whispered.

"I miss him so much." Cody said, wiping his tears away.

"I do too. I really do." Maddie said putting her arm around Cody. They begin walking.

"Maddie, Do you know Rebecca?"

"Yeah, a little." Maddie spoke.

"Well, I saw her and Tommy, he... Never mind. It's nothing." Cody stopped himself. He decided not to tell what he'd seen.

"Are you sure?" Maddie asked.

"Positive."

Fireworks and cheers erupted all at once.

"Happy New Year." Maddie said as they walked.

"No, not really." Cody wiped more tears away.

And It Feels

And It Feels Like

Heaven's So Far Away

And It Stings

Yeah It Stings Now

The World Is So Cold

Now That You've Gone Away.
