Zack is my other half. We are twin brother's. He tells me everything and I do the same. Lately, he has been acting so different. I couldn't even put my finger on it. The last time him and I spoke and saw each other was 5 months ago. In fact, he is not social with anyone on Deck. No one hears from him. Zack is on aboard but isn't at the same time. I am very worried. It feels so empty and quiet now. Half of this is probably my fault. Mr. Moseby, London, Bailey, Marcus, Mrs. T, Woody, the office guard, mom and dad all tried to communicate with him. Everyone knows where he is but the door is always locked. He didn't act like this before. So what happened? I need to hear his voice at least once. I felt my heart race at a faster speed as London is walking in my direction because I know she will ask me questions about the incident prior to Zack's last presence.
"Hey Cody, can I talk to you?" she asked me smiling. I don't want to tell her anything. None of her business to know. "About what?" Upon Seeing the expression on her face, I knew at that moment it's coming. "I want you to tell me exactly what happened on the night of January 5, 2008." See, what did I tell you? Trusting London to keep a secret after breaking many others is the hardest thing to agree to. "I am sorry, no offense but you are known as Hollywood's biggest gossiper." As usual, she had a blank look on her face acting confused and not having listened to a word I was saying. "I am London Tipton, and Tipton's do not betray their friends." Coming from London, a girl who is all yay me is not an easy person to believe. "I don't know, I haven't told a living soul." Staring at me without a clue as to what I meant says, "Cody, what does living soul mean?" Sighing and rolling my eyes I answer, "People with their eyes opened." And of course, she understood that due to her low ability level which doesn't surprise me. Not one bit. "Oh silly, why didn't you just say so?" It's no use. I might as well just inform her and regret it later on. Either way, it doesn't change the fact it happened.
"This is the story London. On January 5, 2008 Bailey and I shared a dance. Zack was sitting at a table alone and he didn't have anyone to dance with. Whenever the music stopped, I would go by Zack to keep him company. Majority of the time, I spent talking about my feelings for Bailey and the previous girlfriends I had. He usually let me finish without any interruptions. Odd thing, he didn't even complain but that's beside the point. Near the end of the dance, he said he wanted to talk to me and just him and I." You would expect London to fall into a sleepy mode at this point or gaze into space. Strangely, she was all ears and looked eager to hear the rest. Maybe talking to her isn't so bad after all.
Flashback:
Zack: "I think you may want to sit down."
Cody: "This sounds serious." I didn't know what to think or do. I tried to remain calm and relaxed but the tension kept building up inside.
Zack: "You and Bailey aren't right for each other." I meant it. Especially, considering I made eye contact.
Cody: "Well, why not?" I have a puzzled and shocked look on my face.
Zack: "The idea of the two of you together bothers me a lot." Truth is, every time I see them together I get upset.
Cody: "Really? It does?" Whole time I am thinking, why doesn't he tell me things anymore?
Zack: "Yes, No lie." Talking about Bailey and Cody in the same sentence hurts enough.
Cody: "I'm sorry, I am lost. You helped me get us together."
Zack: "I love to see you happy." I do, I really do want Cody to have happiness and now, something changed.
Cody: "Zack, please tell me what's bothering you." I know there is something he is hiding and not telling me.
Zack: "I wish I can." He deserves the right to know. When it comes down to it, finding the right words to say is so challenging.
Cody: "You mean to tell me there is more?"
Zack: "Yes." With that being said, I slowly got up and said: "Goodbye Cody." And with a blink of an eye, I am gone.
